Nice ride man! I test drove an all black '12 5.0. I really wanted the car but they couldn't come down enough on the price for me to afford it. I ended up finding a used 40th Anniversary Mustang Mach 1 on Craigslist with 28k miles on it for $14k. Killer deal so I went with the Mach 1. The '12 5.0 is definitely a beast though!

Thanx, I haven't got a vid up yet because the car got reffed and starting it up in my neighborhood to pull out of the garage and leave ticks the neighbors off enough. An idle and rev vid would have the cops here lol i'll get one as soon as i handle this ticket tho! And bama did the tune for me but i had to call them and arrange it. TBH it has pretty bad drivabilty and i've driven big cammed cars before and this drivabilty is worse. Plus stop and go traffic with the windows down is like intoxicating lmao the parameters they use make it run piggg rich at idle. All in all its fun to load up every so often

As far as getting reffed I believe either you can pay the ticket or you've gotta fix the issue then see the state ref

You need to throw away that mail n order tune and get a real tune. Nice car by the way, I am thinking of picking one up in the near future if everything goes good

Ya thats similar to the things ive been reading. I guess if the fine isn't that bad to just pay it, ill do that but if it's some insane price I'll just take a couple hours and swap everything. I might go with a quieter axle-back in the future too lol.

I thought about initially getting a dyno tune, however once I did a little research plus looked at the warranty my tuner offers (They'll replace the motor if you pop a #8) I decided to go with the mail order tune and i'm pretty sure after running one more data log, the car will be realllllly close to it's full potential for what it has done to it. I do want to get a dyno tune at some point though too after longtubes and Boss 302 Intake. But ya you should definently pick one up. I was a LT1 guy before this and wasn't really into fords really but once I test drove the New Camaro and the Mustang I decided on the mustang very quickly hahahah
