You rounding up? Pretty sure all foxes came with the 7.5" through '85, and the '86 - '93 5.0 got the 8.8", which although a vast improvement over the 7.5", is not nearly as stout as the old 9".

Take your emotions out of it, educate yourself on...
While the Gen 3 coyote is no voodoo, Randy also specifically said he loves it. I have to assume he means as compared to the earlier coyote engines, and I take that to mean another little sprinkle of that "magic" as compared to the earlier GT/PP cars.
My only point in this thread is, people who...
Sorry, didn't mean to impugn your professional opinion. You've driven both cars, get paid to race, and write for major publications too? As do Scott and 'the staff'?
Seems like Randy P. might disagree with your assessment...
"I found that the only Mustang that was a really good track car to this point was the GT350R, which was a Shelby Mustang. [The Mustang GT has] been playing catch-up ever since. The plain GT wasn't good enough on track. The Performance...
