I really don't know where to start. This thing drives amazing. I went with the Auto and am so glad. I became a believer in Autos when I put a Lentech AOD in my 93' coupe. This Auto will not disappoint. The vehicle drives effortless in every situaton. I thought I was cruising about 60 mph and looked down and was going 80 (no joke and on more than one occasion). That surprised me alot and will have to be careful of that until I get accustomed to this beast. I haven't messed with the AdvanceTrac system yet but seems pretty simple after skimming the owner's manual. The acceleration is already awesome. It's going to be insanely sick when the Steeda tune and CAI arrive. If you are considering a new 5.0, consider no longer and go get it. If I had to put one negative on the vehicle, it would be the blind spots due to the pillars. However, Ford equipped the vehicle with blindspot mirrors so Kuddos to them for dealing with the issue. Well, I'm rolling out. I'm going to go find a Camaro and make it feel like it was on the wrong end of prison sex. 5.0 baby
