With a tune is the keyword. How does it fare stock vs. stock?

Wouldn't be about 41k in price with the options equal to a 2ss?

Not to mention-
1. It doesn;t look bad, but next to a Camaro it looks like the fat girl at the homecoming dance with the shoulderless dress.
2. Key words in that sentance: with a tune. How would it compete next to a Camaro with a tune?
3. Not a bad car. Its good for those weekend warriors that wanna look tough picking up the kids at soccer practice.

Even with a tuned SS, the average driver would get killed off the line and it would just go downhill from there.

OK, what about with drivers who are about equal?
That should completely change things.

With a tune (12.75-13.5sec), yeah. Without a tune (14.1-14.5 or so)*, it's just as fast.

Funny, ain't it? Makes the Coyote look even more a "dude.. just put it in now and stop futzing with it."

*these are the times I recall reading from when Ford was testing the Ecoboost in the Taurus at Milan; boosted Flex ran a 14.5 too.
