Ya, I wasn't planning on getting one! I had just bought a 1979 f150 larait subercab short bed 2wd with a 460 and c6. My plan was to completely rebuild the old truck and use it as a hotrod. Then this came about so I decided I would just scale back my plans for the 79 and just use it as a truck.

I haven't taken it to the track yet. But I do know if you want fast 1/4 mile times get the manual 5 speed. Auto's run low 14's and so far from what I have read the manual's run 13.9's-13.6's. Depends on how good of a driver you are and how the nanny is letting you drive. (Nanny: Ford has it where if it sinces abuse it let's up on the throttle. Throttle by wire!) So, no big smokey burnout's. Althought the aftermarket programmers are seeing about that little problem.

I really liked my 04 f150. Only way I made out of the deal was because I got something like 7-8000 off msrp when I bought it new. I was only paying on it for 2 years too.

Ya, I went From a Excursion to a reg cab f150 for 4 months now a Mustang! Talk about a different view of the world.

 

The new gt's are in the 13's, the old ones with a good driver are lucky to get mid 14's. Most are high 14/low 15
