I have driven them at work, on the chassis dyno and they have a nice throaty exhaust sound. Running through the six speed is a pleasure! Nothing like going from a dead stop to 80 mph in a snap. The vehicles I have been driving are test mules. So I am sure the production build is going to be nice. I love it. ;D

Must have been a slow LS Chevy month at HR HQ.

Oh wait, LS7 into a Camaro four pages before the Coyote story ;D


5.0 Mustang Magazine scoped the whole story a month ago. They said the engineers had a riot playing with the cam timing on the fly, making the car sound like a taxi cab one second, and an NHRA Pro-Stocker the next, then back again, all from a laptop.

Days of a cam swap will be over, " Here, just plug in this little box in for more lift and duration "

Ford dropped the ball not including forged Rods right from the factory.

The powdered rods seemed to be my worry also, but the rest seems nice, a N/A 302ci making 412hp nice, and as Ford tells it ,they have left plenty of room for improvements.
