There are 2 05's at Woody Anderson Ford in Huntsville, AL. ! is a v6 and the other a GT. I saw the v6 car. Mineral grey and an automatic. Not sure what color the GT is, it was in transit to the dealership. They are having an unveiling this afternoon/evening. The crappy thing is they have had this car for a week now on the back lot hidden bewteen a couple of cars.

Also, please be advised that it is very important that you run 5w-20 in these new motors. I know there is a thread on here somewhere discussing this. The new motors are having issue with getting oil to the cam phasers (part of the "vct") and causing them to fail. If you use a thicker oil than the 5w-20 when you change the oil you could have this happen. Ford has already had issues with this on the new
F-150. This is very real information and I have seen it first hand. This is just a friendly FYI. I just know how much we all love our cars and none of us want to do anything to damage them.

Also, I will save you all the trouble........



I will try to get pics tonight or tomorrow and or try to find out what color the GT is.

Interesting, the sales guy I've been talking with was supposed to let me know when the 05's starting showing up. He did send me an invite to this thing tonight.
