Good, cause my scan of the article got blocked by photobucket.
As far as the tranny is concerned, what is the 3650 rated at? I make 499hp and it's held up ok so far. It's notchy as hell, but it was like that factory stock. I guess my point is that a factory rating is not the end all be all of it. Before some make blanket statements about what the car can and can't do maybe we should wait until it actually comes out. By the end of this summer I would imagine we'll have a much clearer picture of its abilities and modability

I dropped my subscripion to 5.0 a few years back just keeping Mustang Monthly and Mustangs & Fords.
I had checked a half a dozen stores up by me an NO ONE carries 5.0 Mustang !!
Finally read article online last week and just got done making a "MS Word" doc out of it. Separated the pics from the article body for easier reading ... article with very narrow margins is 14 PAGES, all the pictures with the explantions under them took up another 47 PAGES !!
Great stuff in this article, so I wanted to save a copy since I could not find it in any local stores.

Something else I read about the 6R80, and is probably why Ford isn't offering any 3.55 or 3.73 gear options with it, it has a super steep first gear ratio. First gear in the 6R80 is 4.14:1 !
With that low of a first gear I sure wouldn't want any rear ratio lower than the 3.15 that comes in it.
That gives an overall first gear ratio of 13.041:1, that is a stouter first gear ratio than a fox Mustang with a Z ratio T5 with a 2.95 first gear and a 4.30 rear gear combo.
That 6R80 equipped car should really haul it off the line!

Anyway back to the bum gears. I know one guy here in Australia that has fitted 3.45 gears (stock is 2.73) in a Falcon GT and anything over 3/4 throttle and he's facing the other direction. Bare in mind the Falcon GT weighs 4100lbs.
A 5 litre Mustang with 3.23 behind the auto and some very sticky rubber would not surprise me if it ran an extremely low 12.
Edit: thanks for the link
