I love this car so much I just got it the other day. I got the car basically for free all I did was trade in my 1993 2.3l in for it and I had to pay nothing else. My 5.0 has flow master pipes, a k&n airfilter, pulleys and headers but needs new tail lights and a paint job. It really was a steal on the 5.0. This car makes my old 2.3 feel like a go-kart.

i remember when i got my 5.0, i too graduated from a 2.3 and it was a DIFFERENCE, you will soon crave more power as i have.

Is you car 5 speed???

Mines and auto i kind of regret getting the AOD stang, but i think my mind will be changed after i get my stall and shift kit

i orignally had a 89 2.3 auto. then i did a 8.8 rear end swap and t-5 swap. then still wasnt happy and did a 2.3 turbo coupe motor with a ported head, manifold, boost controller, full 3 inch exhaust and a few other things. then i bought my 5.0. i love the 5.0 far more
