sound: idle sounded VERY good. still quiet under load. sounded like an "X" at idle without the loud at WOT.
tranny: auto. sloppy shifts WOT. 5 speed was strange. traction off: chirped but that's all. a little sqeal in 1st with no shift chirps.(torque management)
torque: suprising for a 4.6. off idle to WOT shift excellent. it really had 300+lb-ft. loves to rev quickly.
hp: fair, but not great. being an auto hurt it of course, but still just so-so.
soft ride with very good turn in.
rating: 6 out of 10.
stock 99-04 8 out of 10 . feels like a stang. 99-04 feels like a 66/289 hi-po to me.
the 05 didn't feel like a stang. it felt like my wife's youngest son's lincoln LS v8.
