      It is amazing how high tech these cars have evolved. All of the cast aluminum pieces, fluid coolers, etc., compared to stamped steel pieces, passenger car shocks etc from just a few years ago.

      Yeah... and a lot different than those wooden wheels and single cylinder engines from your first car, right Nut?

      Good pics, thanks for posting.
      For anyone interested, 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords had 2 good articles, one on the 5.8 Motor, & the other on the rest of the cars upgrades from the 2012 MY.
      These write-ups helped me make up my mind & order a 2014 Shelby.
      They both are on the long side, but worthwhile.

      Both of those are great articles ...lots of little tidbits that Ford didn't release anywhere else. I clipped the original articles when first published in the magazine and saved them both.
