Nice car.

The 4.6 liter has a lot of potential though I can't say that Ford tunes them very well straight from the factory (in the interest of longevity, of course).

What kind of modifications is he looking into? Is there some way to ditch those gauges? I'm feeling like I'd want a tachometer.

Thanks for sharing!

Good to see someone using the terminology. I second that...if only they didn't cut costs at the buyer's expense. Then again, the '03+ model years are particularly impressive.

You're welcome! I agree with you on the 4.6. But then again when I look at target market for these cars in the US with all the older people, I think its pretty good. I mean for the price, weight and size of the car, it still does 0-60 in under 10 seconds. I know some guys running low 14s with a couple of bolt ons.

The tach is available on the Marauder, but unfortunately not on the rest of the line. Although you can add a tach to the steering column, which is what quite a few people I know have done.

Nice pics man, yeah.. believe it or not, the streets are flooded with those in Saudi.

One more thing, the Lexus dealership in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia has received an award from Toyota’s son himself for selling the highest amount of Lexus vehicles ( we all know what that means )
