Ford has always had this problem. I think the rims/tires from the new BOSS would be a good addition for every 5.0 out there.

The GT500 performance package forged wheels would be better.

That's the fun bit of it all. There are people that think they are hot sh!t just because of the tool, only to learn quickly that they have no idea how to use it effectively. Always cool for the "underdog" to win one.

You have to do donuts around her first, though.

Excuse me, sir! But the Camaro mullet is well groomed and tasteful. You are confusing this stylish "do" with the stringy, unwashed version more typical of those driving rusted Dodge Rams, the beds of which are filled with hounds and greasy friends, most of whom are named "bubba" or "junior" (the friends, that is...the dogs tend to have more elaborate, thoughtful names such as "Blue" and "Snoopy").

The style of the Mustang driver is more of a classic Steve McQueen, a la "Bullitt". Turtleneck and tweed sport jacket optional

Saw that black 5.0 with gun metal wheels again yesterday. MMMMMMMMMMmmmmm...
Hawtness.

That is a bad car. I have added the Explorer to my list of 3 row seater autos that I will be considering soon. I think I will tell the Ford dealer to let me drive a 5.0 so I can have some fun while I am at it. I will make another go at trying to get my dad to pick up a Boss..

I checked out a loaded Explorer in the showroom a couple weeks ago. NICE is all I can say. That car is plush as hell!

Ford's been stepping their game up significantly lately, I also heard rumors of a 350hp front wheel drive Focus will be coming out soon. Looks like the Z has yet, another competitor! Old article, but the new MT had a blurb about it.
