No, we didn't. That was more like what I was expecting above. BTW, I'm laughing 'cause I lived in Hillsdale for a while and looks like it was right next to one of my old watering holes (Orange Lantern - exit off 17). I think this is the parking lot just across going to the Mall.

Sweet pix, looks like an awesome ride. Go drive the damn thing!

I've never named any of my cars previously. Being former Navy, yes - female names only for cars (boats, etc.). Hottest girl I ever dated was named Jessi. Since I fell in love with triple yellow today in person, I need to come up with a good blonde name. Actually, Jessica might not be a bad one.

I'm lucky because Ford dealerships are a dime a dozen around here BUT if one refused x-plan? Walk out the front door and give someone else a shot at your business. Stealerships who are primarily interested in gouging retail customers up front seldom make for good long term (and repeat)...

GT all the way - EB is nice but, for the money, give me the 5.0 IMHO. Like I said there, it'll be very interesting to see where the aftermarket folks take the EB numbers to. That powertrain should have a ton of potential. I thought the lap around the mall was lame but it did start pouring...

Wolf - much love, respect and gratitude. LTJG, USN (ret) myself - out on medical as well although mine was just a bad back and not combat. Made O-2 before a congenital vertebral issue put me down. Break in for a motor is a widely contested issue. I've done it several times and had...

Gary - thanks for the writeup. I just got back from the "Bucket List" event in Annapolis. It was extremely lame but I did get to drive an EB around the Mall at least (no mini auto-X, etc) and I'm cautiously impressed as well. The EB/slushbox combo has a ton of torque and definitely makes for...

Saw the TY today in Annapolis @ bucket list drive. Cloudy and impending storms but that color is awesome in person. Might seriously have to consider

Really? I'm surprised but if that's the case then I'll be really careful or paranoid. I've never owned a Ford, much less a manual transmission one.

looks sweet!

puhlease - a manual is about the most dirt simple thing out there and clutches last as long as you treat them well. I've been pounding the crap out of my GTI with APR stage I since it had chipped at 5,000 miles on the clock and still no slipping at 68,000 miles. Automatics have a gazillion...

I miss T-tops as well. Unfortunately, they'll probably never see the light of day again :p due to safety regs, new rollover standards, etc. Plus talk about rattles? Yeesh. But yeah - they were awesome back in the day!

Sweet! that is just awesome straight out of the box. :headbang:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

There are 10 kinds of people, those that understand binary and those that don't :p Thanks for the write up. I'm looking forward to test drives and rides here in Annapolis this Wednesday. My current sled is a GTI (slightly modded) and have driven a friend's Evo X GSR lately. That thing...

Yeah - this! When prepping to buy my GTI in 2009, I was fortunate enough to get a chance to drive both a manual and the DSG back to back. Same car (except for transmission obviously), same driver (me), same roads, etc. I've also had the opportunity to auto-X both my car (a stick) and a...

Echo everyone else, big props to CJ for the dyno runs & weights! And I'm still kinda blown away with those monster numbers too - wow :eyebulge:

I adored my E46. Actually, my MkVI GTI is pretty damned good too but I've got the itch for more power going through the rear wheels though . Considered a F30 and Euro delivery but one test drive just killed that notion. Big, soft, floaty and no steering feel at all. :rant:
