Soon to be reunited with the Stang!

I moved to Belgium about a month ago, and now my car will get here on Monday... Little Christmas-present to myself!

I asked my co-worker to send me these pics... Now I kinda wish he didn't...







Next pics on the Autobahn!!!

Thats nothing a good wash and wax will not take care of. I would be very interested to see what the limit is on the V6, that is if you removed the limiter and put on some better tires...

It is probably just reflection from the camera flash. And I thought the 2010 had auto headlights anyway.

Did Ford put limiters on the V6?? I once rented a Northstar front wheel drive V8 Cadillac that had a limiter at 105MPH . . . . that car could hit the limiter quick . . . .. . . . then the gas cut . . . . . . . You are lucky to get a job in Europe! Have fun with $6/gallon gasoline! Actually my 05 GT/5 speed can crank 30miles/gallon (setting the speed control to 60MPH) . . . . so your V6 should do better.

Actually, it's close to $8.40/gallon right now...

I'm pretty sure there's a limiter on there, but that's nothing a tune can't fix...

If you got a company to relocate you to Europe, you must be rich (LOL)! Living in California you, like me, are used to Prius owners giving you evil stares! I have to assume the stares from Fiat driving mini car Europeans will be worse! Is your exahaust tuned to show thoughs guys how a REAL car sounds?

It's only a V6...

But I am thinking about getting a FRPP dual exhaust and a tune so I can clear the Autobahn behind me fast and maybe blow some Vee-Dubs in the ditch...
