Hello everyone, new guy here. Got my 2021 Gray ST being delivered this coming week. Its SUPPOSE to be here TOMORROW, dealer has too do a computer recall and clear it through Ford before they can drive it on highway ( according too them).
I come from a performace back ground, last toy just sold was a 2020 wide body Redeye, 2018 Hellcat Charger before that... fully built 2004 Lightning, and a ton of mustangs prior. Anyway family life has brought me too the ST as i COULD NOT bring myseld to pay SIX figures for any of the hellcat powered SUV's from Chrysler.
I will be tweeking it a bit, done a little research already. I know about the whipple cooler, varoius catbacks, tuning of course blah blah. Im on the East Coast in NC so im close to 5* . How many guys here have dealt with them? Only info i have is off youtube , dont know anyone that has experience with them. Id prefer to deal with a tuner that can lay hands on my ST and have it on the dyno as well. Just a comfort level for me as ive done all my other toys this way, traveling to JLP performance in PA for my Lightning and AVT performance in SC as well.
Ill do homework on this site as I progress with this ownership experience as soon as she gets here (fingers crossed tomorrow). Advise is always appreciated from anyone willing too give.

Oh and who has taken advantage of the ST driving experience that comes with it? Id like too do it but want first had account of if its worth the time??

South Carolina here. Welcome. The Driving Experience is well worth the time. I come from a sort of high performance background too, raced sports cars years ago and have owned several performance street machines. When someone offers to let you drive their ST and abuse it, it's well worth the time to go. Besides, the hotel at Biltmore is great and the food is excellent.

I also thought it was a hoot and more importantly my wife thoroughly enjoyed it. To the point that she wants to go to one of the 2 Day Ford Performance Driving Schools. That's a win-win situation if you can have a ball and your wife does too. ;)
