I messed with the wrong car...and it killed my 5.0
Defeat was inevitable lol...I still couldn't resist messing with it. We caught a red light side by side in front at the next light. The old lady driving it had a car length on my 5.0 by the time I got out of 2nd gear. Did not expect to see a 65ish y/o lady in there to say the least!

I thought it was always Ford's plan to not build them beyond a certain date. Something to do with new emissions or safety regulations that were scheduled. Sorry I don't remember exactly what it was.
