But $9000 is more than $7000 and a F150 has more material in it.

What year was he refering to?

Ha, I see what you did! Damn you and your typos lol. And this was back in '03 body styles I believe, so that's probably about right then.

I'd love to see a fox-like 5.0L in 2014.

I wanna see something that weights <2500lbs with a 5.0 in it from factory.... do you think its possible?


Also, everyone run out and grab some smoked oysters and vinegar. It is delish.

They won't do it. with all the pollution control, traction control, advanced safety features, and just general knick knacks, Ford won't ever scratch the 3000lb curb weight again. There's just too much that needs to go into these cars to make them commercially successful.

But supposedly they're remodeling the car from the ground up for the 50th anniversary. I really hope they look more towards the future instead of another throwback series. I want to see a car that, in another 50 years, there will a throw back of this one. Hopefully something closer to a new edge rather than an S197

In the past 2 weeks my family and I (maybe a total of 7 ppl) have had 4 bushels of roasted oysters. Vinegar and hot sauce FTW!
