a big German V8! Went and picked up the 560SEC yesterday, drove into
town and took the bus up to where it was, drove back to a friend's
place and got a ride to get my truck in town, so have to figure out
how to get to the car and get it home. But driving it a bit I was
most impressed with how it ran. Feels good to stomp that pedal, a much
different experience from the SDs fer sure! It's otherwise a bit
rough, rear shocks seem shot, as it was bouncing a bit. Front
suspension seems a bit loose but steering is fairly tight. Flex disks
might need changing, I thought I felt a bit of clunking in the
driveline. But it's driveable so that is OK. I guess it will be fun
with a little sorting.
My friend, who knows little to nothing about cars, thought it looked
pretty cool rolling up. I do love the style.
Not quite the same thing, but I do understand your response to the
engine. My F150 has the 5.0 Coyote engine and it sure makes a nice growl
when I step on the gas a bit harder than normal. I can imagine what that
must be like in the Mustang. The truck is rated at something like 370 HP
but I think the Mustang is up to about 415 HP. My son who used to work
in the shop that did custom work says they had a Mustang that they did
some work on that was putting out something over 500 HP.
