ive got an 05

its had a few problems...some due to 1st year production models, other because its manufacturing defect

but the #1 thing you must look for is the water leak.

Ford has had 4 years to get it right and they still haven't fixed it

Picking up the car this saturday
I have noticed there are a ton more aftermarket parts than there were for my 6 which will be both nice and make it harder to choose at the same time haha, the car is all stock that i know of right now, the only thing that might be modded is the exhaust i didnt look at it and it did sound pretty loud for stock so ill have to look but it could just be because its a v8 idk what they sould like stock just used to my v6 haha. Heres some pics i snapped with my phone when i drove it, better ones to come when i get it

looking at the weather these pictures were taken in, if there was a leak, it'd be in the passenger side floor board

btw, great color!!

havnt experienced any leaks yet so im happy about that and yea i pretty much love everything about this car, its much more powerful than i expected, handling is a huge improvement over my 97 v6 and i love having a 5 speed now instead of an auto. everything on it is stock as of right now

I like it, nice color!!

As far as mods go, I'd do intake, tune and gears first.
