I purchased my ST back in June 2013. I've been a fan of ford and had mustangs/RWD most of my driving life. In 2010 I sold my 2002 Mustang Saleen. This started an import journey that would lead to a few blown motors and a lot of money to fix. Seeing the ST I thought about finally having something brand new and testing it limits eventually. Also it was a chance to come back to Ford. I wanted to see how performance/longevity was on these cars before I started modding. Lets just say i'm disappointed in this car overall. I'm not going to get down into the details, but the ST put a smile on my face for about 1 year.
If/when the RS is released I will be back only if it's AWD.
Reasons why I sold the ST -
piston cracking/chipping at the ringlands - this just scares me cause i'm tired of fixing engines.
Headifold
Front wheel drive - After having AWD/RWD for 14 years I just can't do FWD.
wheel hop - Even after the RMM too much hop.
Reasons I went back to a V8/5.0
Smile back on my face
RWD
Dat V8 sound - aftermarket pypes axle back won me over
modding opportunities for great power
more reasons but cant think of them.
So on to the newly acquired 5.0
Its a 2013 6 speed with only 3K miles - Its a plain jane GT just the way I like it - Lightweight version - Got it for 25K from an army guy who is always deployed. Its been sitting under a cover a lot during its 2 year lifespan.
