Got mine last Monday. Got 225 miles on it now. Runs good. Not as great as I want. It needs a bunch more gear for me and the wife. It gets 25.3MPG at 70 on cruise. Lots of folks love it and are looking like it is the best looking car on the road. Even little kids notice it is different. It is a 2SS IBM Automatic. Will attach pictures if I can. Have yet to go 0 to 100. A few digs from stop and a few times getting on it from a roll. It needs a bunch more for me from a stop. From a roll it is great. Lots of folks want to run it. Will certainly get is some trouble with it if not real careful. Minor things could have been better here and there, but that is the same with any car and different strokes for different folks. I am sure it needs headers, about a 411 or 430 gear, Injen intake with Amsoil air filter and of course Amsoil lubricants front to back along with a chip. That will wake it up and be about right for me. Not sure if the AFM will like a supercharger or turbo on it. Should not be needed with the other mods to be great. Tires could be somewhat wider too. I am into drag racing so you see that is where my interests are with this machine. Handles fantastic. Rides somewhat rough on the Michigan potholes. We have LOTS of TERRIBLE roads here in Michigan.

Were those baloons the dealer had tied on?

ZZcamaro · 05-01-2009, 09:04 PM

Hey try it in manual or sport mode from a stop...It should be better. It starts out in second gear if it is in the normal mode!!
Put it in manual and then physically downshift to first while you are stopped...tehn let her rip!!

vsgls1 · 05-01-2009, 09:15 PM

There are no chips or injen intakes for these. Color look good.

Nice pics but I have to ask. What is up with the one picture that also show your neighbors cars sitting in his driveway? Does he REALLY own 3 Crown Vics? Time to move, and this is coming from someone who owns a Marauder.
