I understand the rear end is a 2:73 - dog slow but probably how it gets 31 MPG.
Get a 3:73 with posi and if you can swing it a one piece driveshaft. A 92 tune, CAI and expensive axil back Ford Racing mufflers and you'll have a fun ride that won't kill you at the gas station. Some might even have a Track Pac with the rear already in. Think hard though unless it's insurance or $$$, you don't want to get in that trap of always wishing you got a V8. Then modding your 6 to death to compensate, choose wisely.

BrazenStang every time I see that convertible with those red interior headrest I think one day a Tagger Punk (Graffiti Artist or budding Young Criminal) will draw pig faces with a sharpie on each one. So when you're driving everyone can say "Look at the three piggies going to market Weeeee! Unless you look like a piggy too, then it will be four Weeeee!
Sorry, hope an Ex doesn't read this and get any ideas. You can always photo-shop it to see how people react, like the guy who put a hose in his oil cap and flushed the running (soon to seize) engine with water.
Ever price those headrests ooch! $$$$x4.

I'm 100% confident I'll be good with the v6, for now atleast. I am a young driver, and I don't know if I can control 400+ HP haha. Once I'm comfortable with the stock version of the car, I really want to do a CAI with a 93R tune with borla axle backs. That alone will just blow my mind. Putting 373s with a one piece driveshaft.
I am more excited about washing my car actually, I didn't realize there was such a craze about car detailing. I love detailing/cleaning things.
Only 7 months to go haha!

Hey, it's Frank the Troll. I missed you buddy! I thought maybe you were getting your ADHD checked out, guess not. You shouldn't hijack @iamzatch's thread like that.
Drivers out here on the east coast have a thing called car insurance to fix damage from "Grafiti artists or budding Young Criminals", so I don't worry about their antics.
