Oh wait... that's Buffalo Bill from Silence Of The Lambs.

Ok... cancel that... but I still would have ate the fuggers face off.

I want it in my possession already! Does anyone know where they are being built and have a number so I can contact them to see if they have started, or should I just go through my dealership and just wait patiently? How long did it take for you guys to receive your 5.0s? One last question, now that the 2011's are essentially out of the loop, will I be getting a 2012 5.0 since I haven't gotten a build date yet?
You're going to be waiting a bit longer and yours will definately be a 2012. The order window closed and the order window for 2012 opened on 11/19/10. The first week of production for 2012 starts 1/17/11 so if yours is built the first week it won't arrive until the very end of February at the earliest. You can do a search for the 2012 order guide and the adjustable EPAS is included on the 2012. theACE pretty well covered the 2012 changes.

I used Velcro to mount my garage opener on (under) my dash.. just above and to the right of my right knee.. out of sight.. and I just slide my hand under to press the button.

I guess that is a lesson for us all: Walmart sucks on so many levels: They only sell S*** that is made in China and thus contribute to job loss and wage depression, their policies are crummy, and they pay their employees such low wages that the only people they can hire to work in their car are guys who don't give a damn.

Since those Wallyworld auto guys don't care because they are payed so poorly (wage & benefit depression), of course, they do not give two S***s about the cars they service. I would never bring my 'Stang to their damn place.

I too wouldn't have Wal-Mart change my tire let alone change the oil in my cars!
I know some of you are against taking it to the dealer...I take mine there because I know they take care of my car and I know the tech working on it as well as the super.

The only people that have driven my car since my motor was built is Sactown, a mechanic at Ford (used to own a speed shop and is a good friend) and the guy who does my gears (blower was valet mode so he could not get into boost).

A couple years ago, there were some techs at a Ford dealership revving my car in the back parking lot, bouncing it off the limiter. I was talking with the manager and we could hear the turbo spooling and blowing off. We both walked back there and I didn't really plan on it, but I went crazy with four letter words when I was saw it was my car. I ripped the guy out of the driver seat by his shirt, he fell down. The manager sent him home for the day. Don't know what happened after that since I left.
