Be careful with that tuner! Ford will see you have a tune and void your warranty by what others have said. They have changed things with the ECU and can see when a X3 has been mated with the car, even when you take it back to stock. I would see about Ford reflashing the car for 3.73's at least until your warranty is up, especially with all of the 5.0 issues out there. Ask JEWC75


F**k the warranty! Caution to the wind!!!!!!!!!!

So what about the Bad Ass Coffee place??? Time?

Anyone know if 4.6 motor mounts are the same for 5.0?

I just bought a pair of Prothanes from a vender on here because I was told that they would work. I won't know positvely till I installl my headers in April. The adjustable ones from Steeda and BBR say that they fit all S197s.

Just lookin from above the motor mounts look like they will work.

Put about 80 miles on the 5.0 today. She responds quick and pulls hard- even with stock gears surprising. I pulled through a couple gears and blinked and was doing 80.
At 65mph on I64 the car was indicating 28mpg.
I keep trying to shift 5 gears, and forget the reverse is on the opposite side.....

Nice! Where did you get it from and how much did they give you for the 10?

Sorry Greg, thought I answered this but I may have missed the submit button.

Anyway I got 22.5 for my 10. Pretty close to black book "clean money". After rebate and discounts I got the 12 for almost 20% off of the sticker. I think it was one of only 2 GTs left.

Got it from Cavalier, where I got the 10. They were willing to swap my wheels for me since the ones on the 12 were ugly. I swapped radiator covers cause I had the one on the 10 signed by Jack Roush.

If anyone's car shopping go see Georgy at Cavalier. He's from Russia, tech smart, and unlike most of the sales guys he actually knows something about the cars.

Not too bad! Did you have to fight with them to get to the $22.5K?

Happy with the 12 so far?

Sold any of the 10 parts?

Haha, no fighting... and 22.5 was pretty good considering the initial offer 20K. I let them call me, then I did some negotiating for what I wanted- Like swapping out the wheels so I could have my nice ones off the 10.

The 12 is a keeeeper! Really like the NAV system. Got the Brembo set coming in... going to build my own Roush, since I can do it for 20K less than what they want...

Still have 10 parts. No time for shipping right now, so local or pickup only....
