"Therefore, it definitely saves fuel to approach traffic signals by coasting down to anticipate the green light...."

I am one of these people. I detest the imbeciles I see each and every day who are in such an all fired hurry to get to the next red light. They don't seem to know anything but "punch it" and "lock 'em up." I am also one of those people, when in heavy highway traffic, that allows at least 2-3 car lengths between myself and the car in front of me so that as I see the break lights flashing ahead I can coast and apply less break pressure to slow down and stop if necessary. The next set of imbeciles I detest are the fools, who when they see the 2-3 car lengths I've allowed between myself and the car in front of me, that just have to hit the gas and swerve around me so that they can gain an extra 30 feet to their morning commute before then having to slam the breaks because they've gotten entirely too close to the car ahead of them. Abject, absolute, SOBs the whole bunch of them......

Agree 100%. If you can't "drive ahead", you shouldn't be driving.

I would love to have a Blue Challenger Hemi or any color new Mustang with that 5.0

I'm of your opinion as well. We ordered a 2012 Mustang GT convertible 11 weeks ago and it arrived on Friday. Picking it up noon today. Now I can get the accessories out of the basement and get them on the beast

So I test drove all the Ford F-150 engines and for what my usage will be, the 3.5 performed very well.

I ordered one and it will arrive in mid July. :cool2:

I can't imagine having to order, over the last 3-4 weeks all the dealers in town have been stocking their lots, the Ford dealer must have 200 F150s of all flavours on the lot. Maybe 10 superduties lol. The F150 4 door, the new dodge caravan.

I am one who likes to order as well. It would be very rare that anyone would have the color, model, and each exact options I would want with paying for extras I don't need. Plus you then know someone like me hasn't test driven it with the pedal to the metal without first breaking in the engine.

This small dealer could have located it but then after working close to invoice with me, he would have lost on the hold back they receive, so I just ordered it. Super cab, two tone, center console and the 3.5 is an engine that was not plentiful.
Anyways, I'm in no hurry......

At the local dealer, 2/3 of the F150's are ecoboost, I was shocked.
