He just picked it up last night, It's nice, I drove it a little and got a key for it. Of course it had to snow.

Wicked fast? Nice looking car. Does he have a love for cars like we do,or is it mostly transportation? I'm the only "car person" in our house. I'd like to hire a well versed person to install a Shelby drive train into a Sport for me. I'm not tackiling anything modular in a Fox.

He's in to it,specially detailing. He already has new exhaust,tires and wheels and a grill for it,probably install the stuff this weekend. He wouldn't even let the dealer wash it when it came off the truck.

I'm like that. When I got my first new Bird in Nov. of '87,I was there when it came off the truck,and wouldn't let them do any prep for it. I wanted to be the first to get my hands on it. Otherwise,I'd have that "violated' feeling.

Never knew you had a brand new Bird. That must have been pretty sweet. I wasn't even thought of in '87....lol

A lot. For starters it's a modular motor. Whole different world from our pushrod 302's. Puts out over 400 hp as well.

Well only about 200-250 hp. And a 7000rpm redline.

The new fords are looking great. I've been looking at a milan/ fusion for about 28k. I just built a 5.0 stang and it was over 41k, ouch :P
Sweet ride though.

I think the only thing they have in common is that they are V8s. I bet the actual displacements aren't even the same. Completely different animal. A very shagy animal.
Fun fact for y'all. BuyFordRacing has the Coyote 5.0 crate engine on black-friday sale for only $5700 bucks delivered. I really wish i had the funds for one.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the new motors actually measure 5.0 liters...the push rod motors were actually 4.9, but Ford rounded it up because lets be honest; 5.0 sounds a lot cooler than 4.9 lol.

But I look at it this way,I don't have the payments. I will get a few updates pics soon,after I get to test drive it again.

I got him now!! I can beat mine, I gave it a ride, It's nice, but it's not a fox. That new M82 trans is interesting, so smooth!
Guy's I'm jealous to. But I do have a key.

Sweet car. I'm digging those mods too.
Black cars look awesome, but they should come with a warning. A spare time warning. I cannot keep my car clean for no longer than 15 minutes.
Although Ford is making some nice cars these days, my god they cannot get that ride height down! WTF?

There not actually for snow, just for the colder months. He will use my truck in the snow or the plow truck from work. It came with the pirelli 0's, they did work good on thanksgiving in the snow and rain though,the traction control must work. I know my cat sucked in it.
