Happy to be back in a 5 litre!

[LouG]

Congrats on getting the right color!

But....it's not Grabber Blue.

Thanks for the congrats. As much as I loved having German, there’s no replacement for displacement and the active exhaust is music to my ears. Even the B&O stereo is amazing. A decade away from muscle cars and I had hesitations when buying but Fire really knocked it out of the alarm for quality on the 25’s. Even the body panel gaps are perfect which I have never had on a stang. It’s nice to be pleasantly surprised by the quality

I completely agree. This is my first V8, and it's intoxicating.

Well,

after 10 years of German cars I made my way back and just picked up my 4th 5 litre. Very impressed with fit and finish compared to my 2015.
couldn’t be happier to be back in the community.


cheers

This V8, this V8...!!!!! I'd argue best engine in production today (bar only the V12s of the likes of Ferrari and Lambo)

The Coyote V8 is so peachy. It makes me giggle like a retard at just 25-30mph (Borla Attak mufflers have something to do with it, lol) !!! Other exotics are spine tingling but only closer to their 8 or 9k rpm redline.

My gripes are the S650 are: size and weight, digital interior/all screens, and TVN (Total Vehicle Networking) which is very invasive and a big personal data privacy issue, not the mention the ability of 3rd parties (i.e the government) to disable YOUR vehicle - that's a HUGE problem that plagues not only Ford by the industry at large, we must push back!!!!

You will love that!!! I bought a BW shift knob, as well as an MGW DH full shift system.

Great operational experience.

Not trying to be a dick, quite the opposite, but some touchless car washes have such high pressure they still hurt your clear coat. FWIW. Nice car, congratulations!!

I get it 100% but I know the owner and I trust this shell by my house

My only gripe is the track apps software etc taking so long to fire up after start

It’s also about mis-aligned PH’s of the wash fluids. But, thousands of people use car washes every day and they’re all just fine.

 

[davidkwpg]

The way I look at it-it’s a daily driver for me. Am I OCD about keeping it clean? Yes but I have been washing my cars for years there and never any paint issues.
If it was a GTD, I would hand wash lol

I love Grabber Blue. When I had my 2011 5.0, I had the first one in Manitoba Canada

I completely agree. This is my first V8, and it's intoxicating.

what did you come from? I’ve had V8’s,V6’s, boosted 4’s, boosted inline 5. Nothing beats the rumble of a 5 litre.

LOL.....OK, Rock paper Scissors for best color....

My 06 GT had a really nice deep rumble through the Flowmasters. Just a nicer tone. Then again it also had almost 200 less hp than this car, and it did have that cruising drone that gave my wife a headache. Didn't bother me, I just turned up Black Sabbath more...

The 5.0 is a little more raspy and snarly, but I still find myself turning my stereo down to hear it, so I must like it....lol

Agreed. The sound is addictive

Congrats! It looks amazing. Exactly the S650 build I'd be looking at.
Hopefully I will be able to get back into a Mustang at some point.

Coyotes are such solid motors. Stout engine.

Enjoy, bro

Happy to see I'm not the only one!
Switched from Mustang to German too...regretting it...cant wait to get back to the pony!
Enjoy your 5.0!

I'm not usually the biggest fan of silver (or for that matter, black, the color I have heh) but that, sir, looks fantastic with the stripes and wheels.
