Default New F-Type Owner

So I finally pulled the trigger and bought a 2014 V8S yesterday with about 30k miles on it. Flew to Florida in the am and drove it back 950 miles to VA in 13.5hrs. Needless to say it was a long day. It did fine no issues other than I broke the locking gas cap when I went to fill up the first time. Luckily the guy had given me another cap to go with it in case I didn’t want the locking cap. It doesn’t click so I got an error message or so maybe 400 miles after putting it on. Other than that it was a blast. It seems to have every option for the year. Apparently it’s had some work done to it such as pulley, down pipe, cats, tune, etc. The guy said it had be on the dyno at little under 600hp. I think it’s been ceramic coated as well so that’s nice.

Nice find! The exhaust and steering feel on that model year is sublime. Congrats!

As a fellow 14 V8S owner you’ll find that 600hp will make her dance even more than the 495hp does for that RWD experience! Be cautious till you really get to know her!

Congrats. Looks like it has aftermarket wheels and red pin stripe on the rear diffuser. Looks good!

Keep in mind, tuned car = harsh driving conditions all the time, every time. You have to stay on top of maintenance 120%.
