thinking about a 5.0 talk me into or out of it

[JEWC_Motorsports]

lol Thats all it took for me plus all of the peer pressure here. Soon your gonna be saying ...

I have an 06 GT with 77000 on it, it has all the bolt ons, lowering springs after market wheels, garage kept, no rain, snow etc. I never was a fan of the new body style, but now they've grown on me and I'm wanting a new 5.0 pretty bad. and I can't get it out of my head to go and trade for one..

things holding me back,: trans issues, tune issues, all the known problems
things making me want to trade, more power stock for stock, faster than my car w/bolt ons, new car.

so what do you guys think. Any reason to keep what I got, or any reason to let it go and get the 5.slow!

just looking for some opinions.

Do whatever your Gut feeling tells you to do.

i just picked one up, 2012 base model. Coming from a ~450rwhp blown 3v makes the 5.0 feel really slow when I get on it, but it won't be stock for long

Hahahhaha that's the white one you were speaking of

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

lol Right Ryan, at least it went to a good home. I was all bummed out, lol.

 

[HEMI LOL]

if you want one, buy one. at this point, id rather just forge my motor and strap a blower on it. i prefer the older body, and don't really feel the need to have a car payment for 80whp or so.

the new ford that really temps me, like i have to stay away from the dealer is the ecoboost F150.

Yeah get this, they had the deal done and then they called me and said ooops sorry but there is another deal working on the car. lol. Thats how i ended up with Kona blue. Did you pick it up yet? I know you were getting some stuff done, lol.

 

[monk36]

Wait. Keep yours, let all the problems and issues get sorted out, then either buy a current model, ie: '13 or '14, or get a lightly used '12 that is all figured out, by ford, and hopefully by then, by all tuners as well.
