Well…
I havent written anything in a while, but I finally have something on my mind. FORD! That’s right an American car manufacturer. In fact the only one who didn’t take any money on the Gov’t bailouts. I have never been into American cars as much as imports, but I recently made the decision to purchase a 2009 Ford Mustang Bullitt edition. If you don’t know the Bullitt is different from the regular GT in a few ways in which make it extremely better over the GT in my opinion. It comes with 3.73 gears, Cold Air Intake from Ford Racing division, more aggressive tune, different exhaust, and a few other nice items that make it both handle and appear better. It definitely was good enough to get my attention away from a few other top choices at the time. I also lucked out and got a decent deal of $4k off the MSRP and 0% interest for 72 months. So I picked up the nice 330hp RWD muscle car. I definitely enjoy it. Which brings me back to other good things Ford is doing right now. They have finally decided to go back to putting a revised 5.0 engine into the GT which is awesome the car definitely deserves to carry the 5.0 badge. This also means horsepower will be increased to just over 400. Which isn’t bad considering it’s lighter than both the Camaro SS and the Challenger R/T. So with this new found power we might have a new king of decently priced muscle cars… On an even more powerful note the 2011 GT500 will also be receiving an upgrade. Ford has decided to drop the cast iron block of the 5.4 liter beast in lieu of Aluminium, this translates into a 102 pound weight loss for the notoriously nose heavy GT500. That is one hell of a diet. They have also mixed things up a bit and managed to now pull 550hp out of the supercharged motor. This Mustang is quickly moving up the monster Hp ladder. There will also be an SVT Performance package that will add a new limited slip differential, lighter wheels, stiffer springs, and a higher rear axle ratio. Personally I cannot wait to see both 1/4 mile and track lap times of this new Stang! I might even be willing to trade in the Bullitt for it…
