The chip's been replaced as well as a few other small modifications by the previous owner. It puts out 302hp from a 3.5L V6 (Stock is 255)
It's got the funky-psuedo-manual shifting feature that makes it a hoot to drive (auto stick). It's too easy to burn rubber in manual mode, so I tend not to use it unless I want to make that right on red before the oncoming traffic starts to move.
I'm thinking about adding GPS/Sat Radio to it as well, but other than that feature, it's got all of the toys.

And after all the eyeballing of our truck. You know you want a laptop w/GPS in it too. You never have to stop for directions, AND you can watch movies if you get a DVD player in it. You can NEVER have enough toys. That's why we have a new exhaust and the speedloader installed now.

Let’s just say I bought the SUV that continues to beat the Ford Expedition and the Chevrolet Tahoe in “best in class.” And its manufactured in the US.

I have yet to figure out. The purpose of having a p/u truck or 4 wheeled vehicle configured to sit...a few inches off of the pavement.

In my heart & in my garage is a 5.0 Mustang LX covertible. It has an automatic transmisson. I was lamenting to a collector one day about the LX, I wanted a GT. "No you don't, the LX weighs 300 lbs. less" he said. I whined about the automatic, he replied "Lucky, because you'll need to keep both hands on the wheel". He was right on both accords. Have any of you driven a 5.8 (351 cu. in.) Mustang? BTW, since I'm new...is their a spell check option? After all, I was a 12B2S.

You got that right.. the Suby dealer here had eight STis on the lot at one time - they didn't stay on the lot long. I stopped by just to take an up-close-and-personal gander at one; I asked the sales dude if the guys returning from the sandbox are buying them. He said 'no' - that doctors, lawyers and the affluent are buying them as toy boxes. Nice toys...
Have you gone to www.subydude.com ? Pretty cool Suby stuff.

Sir, You are entirely too well versed in ebonics for me not to believe that you have roots...

Ok.. lessee... GMC Denali (nice ride)... Dodge Durango... hmmmm... a Caddie Escalade with 22's... a Lincoln (whatever)... aren't too many others manufactured in the U.S. - unless you're getting slick and bought a Nissan or a new Benz sport ute - they're both made in the U.S.
Whazit?
