Traded the L for a 5.0

[Mr. Mach-ete]

Just purchased a 2012 Grabber Blue 5.0, stickered at 36K sold it to me for 30K, gave me 9K for the L, all this after I walked out the night prior. I returned the next day to see how serious they were, they came off the price and gave me more for my trade. I am totally pumped, this car is bad ass. Needless to say let the modding begin! I post some pics later.

Congrats. U are going to love the car. I did the same and no regrets letting my lightning go.

Congratulations, I also sold my 2nd Lightning for my 5.0. I always miss my L until I think about the Stang.

I just got home and it's dark out, I'll have to wait till morning to take some pics. It's a GT premium with leather package, polished aluminum wheels, I didn't get the up graded brake package or the 373 rear, I plan on upgrading those in the future.

I owned a 03 Mach which I dumped thousands into mods which included a vortech SC. This new 5.0 motor has much more potential than the stock 4.6 mach block. From what I've read the connecting rods are forged steel, the fuel pump is capable of supporting 750 HP, the exhaust manifolds are tubular stainless steel. The interior is so much more refined, I love the backlit cup holders. The ride and feel is superb, I can wait to drive it again. The short trip home last night I caught plenty of people staring, one guy mouthed 5.0 as I drove out of the gas station, haha! Even with the stock mufflers I can immediately hear the deeper tone of the 5.0 vs the 4.6. My first mods will be exhaust, window tinting and suspension. I'll eventually go CAI and a tune. I better call Justin over at JPC, let em know to get ready.:rockon:

I live in the sleepy little town of Oxford, in Talbot County.

On another note, my neighbor bought a black 2012 5.0 a few months back, he loves the thing. He opted for the GT500 axle back mufflers, I can hear him start his car every morning from 2 streets away! After talking with him and seeing him drive all over the town with a smile on his face it was time to trade in the L. I'm sure he'll want to head to the track come spring for bragging rites.:lol1: I'll kick his ass.:burnout:

Couldnt imagine selling my L for the mustang. That being said and since the L was paid off I have both. Congrats on the new ride.

I can't tell you how many times I've heard I love the color of your car.

 

[Mr. Mach-ete]

I drove it to work to day and heard the same comments about the color, it's a real eye catcher. Had few chances to go WOT, I'm totally impressed how hard this car hooks and pulls for having zero mods! I couldn't be happier with it. I took my 14 year old daughter for a ride she commented "there's only one thing wrong with this car daddy", "oh yeah", I said, "what's that?" "It's not loud enough", LOL.
