Thumbs up

8, maybe a 9

I wouldn't be knocking the new GM cars with the LS4 in them too much though, the only thing Ford has to compete with them is a Taurus and maybe the new 500, not quite a 303hp V8 pulling those two around though.

No, I'm a "performance" and "styling" fan.

The car was sold for what it was worth.. and I don't question your decisions about what you do, so I don't think that comment was called for. I'm happy with the resolution, so don't be a dick.

I figure the $28.8 is just for the stickers?I've liked alot of Stangs but after seeing the performance #'s over and over it just makes me sick.Some poor sap buy's a 02-03 Stand that makes 230rwhp,adds a Procharger and get 390-410rwhp but it is very peaky.It's just plain sad.Maybe I'm just use to these pushrod V8's that actually make torque
