I like it. I still can't get over the back bumper and how odd it looks but I'm sure aftermarket will be able to fix that. Other then that excellent feel to the car,
feels solid and tight with good power and a great exhaust note.

That grabber blue is spectacular!

Once the 5.0L comes out I think i just might get one.

Its not the old 302 you once knew and loved, this one will be DOHC.

I thought it was going to be more like the new 3V but with a different valvetrain and obviously a stroker isn't the block different or am I off here?

More than that the 5.0 means better power potential especially from the 4V induction system and the almost perfect 302 cid setup which has been preferred for years in many forms of motorsports from Gr.A touring to Nascar to V8 Supercars.

I can't wait plus now that it may get the 5.0 badge booya!
