Now it's just a reflash!?! With a power peak of 5500 rpm, the car is sure to run like a raped ape off the line too. Weight being the only drawback so far. Superior suspension, looks and power...mmm. I'm sold.
Eddie,
How am I gonna get a used one when there's not even enough new ones to go around? And staying away from first year models? Nah, that's leftovers from the 80's and early 90's. Quality is job 1 and they actually mean it now. Besides, the 3 valve has seen some action in the F150. Nothing else on the new car is so technologically advanced that there would be any reason to be afraid of it. It might be time for the Cobra before I take the plunge, who knows? I wanted a Focus to rice out last month, hopefully this will pass too. But if I see another example with blacked out windows and some 20's....
