The SSR is not that fast. I ran against one the other day on the hwy (ahem... a closed road course) and blew his doors off. I even let him start with the run. He got next to me at the light and was very inquisitive of my car. He made some comment about how he didnt have enough room to get a good run on me. I asked him if he had a manual tranny he said yeah and the conversation was over.
I wouldn't be caught dead in one of those. They're ugly as hell. Coil packs on a 5.0? Reminds me of the Explorer engine, and that intake reminds me of the GT-40 intake...
Yup, moms got em on her 97 Mountaineer. Expensive as hell to replace too and theyre FAR from water proof or corrosion proof. I dont see why they didnt use as distributor. i still dont get the whole concept of a coil pack over a distributor to begin with.
Well, from what I can understand, Ford is producing coil packs for all of their vehicles (Mustang, T-Bird, etc) pretty much from 96 on... Why produce a distributor for one specific type of vehicle?
