I have a FI 08 with 8k miles on it, don't call my car old!!! That said, I like the new interior, still hate the exterior. The 5.0 engine does nothing for me, cause mine is an animal

PS. Why did they think it's a good idea to modernize a retro look??

The "Cold Air Intake" box for the '11 Coyote is a joke. It is an air box that can only flow 750 CFM where the 2010 4.6L air box could flow above 800CFM.

Going with a traditional type of aftermarket CAI and a tune, and you can really wake the engine up.

IF you insist on suing Ford approved parts, FRPP does have an optional traditional open box CAI and even a tune to go with it.

Sry man to hear that. Were you busted twice in a day? Just wondering cuz your post kinda sounds like that.

One thing I really like is how on the 2011, the fenders come to a nice point along each side of the hood. Makes a nice line that reminds me of some of the older cars back in the day. My dad had an old Ford LTD with sharp lines like that. Oh the memories

Only thing I don't like is the vents in the center dash which is done because to fit in the new components no fault of their own.

A question does my car have any chance meeting the performance of yours in the quarter mile with my mods. Please see signatures a course the highway patrol told me my car was fast the other day after getting away with it for years with some heavy tickets.
