I am glad for having had the rich experience of my 3 year ownership of this car. Niobond, I hope you two develop a long and wonderful relationship. :)

Paul, might that be your dear wife giving the car her first good once-over? :)

Reliable came through for Paul really swiftly, and as you guys would expect, the Reliable trailer and driver Bobby were all just top-shelf. Beautiful sunny and 50s today to fire up this heart-throbbing car for the last time, and bid Adieu. Glad she couldn't be going to any better of a home.🙂

Shark, very interesting read, and it sounds like you made a series of good decisions to get a real driver. If I ever get back into one, it would be with a similar strategy. Wish you and your new car all the best!

Hi Tony - thanks for stopping by! We were at Rock Bottom Brewery, which I'm sure you know, but a brand-new location in central Highlands Ranch that just opened last year🍻

Friends, here is Paul's new car's beautiful tail - I just don't see how this look could be improved upon! I sure understand a case could be made to put the bumper back on for safety; just not for looks.🙂

Don't forget Ford Performance/Borla Racing muffler as the sweet spot for more growl than stock, but still easy to converse and not annoy the neighbors 🙂

Naturally, it hasn't been easy to let go of what for me, will always be the most outrageously beautiful and thrilling super car in the world. I couldn't have done it without karmic forces aligning for this ideal seller/buyer match. Paul's ad, seeking a car exactly like mine, was almost like an...

The details Tony describes above about different states and jurisdictions having different emissions compliance standards is correct in a "for practical purposes" way, but I want to add a clarification that many of us performance enthusiasts are unaware of. Performance modifications to cats and...

Always thought I'd get around to posting in this thread, just took awhile ; ) Reminiscing about December 2016 in Louisiana:

Raise your mileage goal to at least 10,000, and seek the rare private party seller, and you might start to approach realistic.

Any product for any car that removes or replaces stock cats, exhaust parts upstream from stock cats, O2 sensors etc, is not street-legal anywhere in the USA, for emissions reasons. I don't know exactly how long this has been the case, but I'd guess 40 years or so.

Kendall, thanks and that would be great! Let me know if you've seen my PMs. Brian

Thx, Two - I am aware of, and glad for, Steve's option. But I only really need one, not 40. And I'm still very interested to verify if this part is indeed discontinued and unavailable from Ford.

Searching old threads for correct PN for the most common belly pan screw - the black ones, M6, 25 mm - as Tom says above, should be PN 4g7z-16163-aa. BUT - the Ford Parts dealer I'm in contact with says that number comes up as "discontinued". Does any one know of a substitute/current part...

I find it surprising that a Ford dealer would recommend anything other than the Ford specified product. I had to learn more than I ever wanted to have to know about fluid choices in our unique and expensive transaxle, after needing to work through a repair. Regardless of any tempting "on-paper"...

Art, thanks for the tip ; adding to the to-do list

Great thread - I enjoyed seeing the full circle from For Sale to New owner. 👏

Tom, yes that is indeed the one I got and am highly recommending.

I want to add for clutch-shoppers that find this thread in the future, how incredibly happy I am with the Spec SS trim on my 620 whp pulley/tune car. While I never felt the stock clutch slip under WOT once fully engaged, I always felt that during aggressive acceleration, it lacked a solid...
