[Shotimes] (OT) Early '05 Mustang GT performance data

[Donald Mallinson]

Did you see on Blue Oval news that sale and shipping of the 
new Mustang and some trucks are being stopped due to faulty 
heads (V8 only)?  Supposedly the CR is off.

Gee, Ford shipping a vehicle with a faulty engine?

let's see
Cobra, BAD
SHO, BAD
New Mustang and trucks, BAD

They really need to get their act together.
