My neighbor works for ford on the business side at the plant, he said there comin back out with the 5.0 in the mustang and the truck, along with that there doin a twin turbo setup with the stang and a single turbo for the truck, from the sound of things hes told me should be pretty bada$$
I'll take one all black with a silver stripe. Tune, CAI, exhaust and the thing will move out just fine If my 02' Explorer 4x4 4.6 can cover the 1/4 in 15.22 seconds(tune, efan,exhaust) then this with those mods and 172 more HP should do a little better. I predict mid to low 14's stock and mid-13's with the tune, cai and exhaust work.
It's a step in the right direction. The real problem is that the current platform does not lend itself very well to being a performance vehicle. It can be fun, but it won't be able to capture the feeling the L gives.
