I dun did it....

Congratulations. The V6 has almost as much power as the last of the

driveway.....

Too bad the 4.6 doesn't:)

Congrats, Jim. Keep in mind that the '05 is just about as fast as the old 5.0L cars and there is a great performance after market for the V-6s.

Really? I guess that rental I had must have been detuned. I kept complaining about its lack of grunt. Couldn't wait to get back to the Frogs.

Not that I'd mind a nice '05 convertible with stick (and spoiler delete)...

The 1/4 mile numbers the rags are reporting are putting them in the same league as an automatic 5.0L.

Yer' dreamin'.

I think the last were down to about 220.

I had an 88 LX 5 speed, which is often said to be the strongest of that era's 5.0s. and a 90 automatic and now have a 99 with automatic and the 4.6. The 99 blows the doors off the ones with the 5.0.

Well now, your isn't exactly stock. ;)

Depends on who's driving.

AND, I didn't mention anything about max torque or the torque curve... or that the 4.0 has to turn 5250 rpm to get to that HP(240 lb-ft @ 3500 RPM).

Mine is, and I'm not worried.

While we debate the new sixes vs. the old 5.0's, I should say CONGRATULATIONS, Jim! It was the promise of a new six convertible rental that got me to go to Phoenix to meet up with my wife, when she was out there on business. I put several hundred miles on that car, got a few compliments from strangers, and pretty much just enjoyed the hell out of it.

Two complaints - the headrest and the high door sill. Otherwise, top down and that thing was wonderful. VERY impressive turning radius, too, not at all what I was used to. And it had no problem gettin' up and going, or holding 80mph on a steep uphill run. Sweet.

But yours is a stick. Wonder how mine would fare against yours?

With like drivers, the 5.0 will take the 6 no problem. Just ask dwight. ;)

Yeah, the door sill. It's like the old Cherokee, like getting in and out of a boat.
