Of course then you are in corvette territory, and the climb starts up that ladder until you get to z06/GTR territory.

Exactly my thoughts? You could apply pricey logic going upwards from a Chevy Aveo...and end up with a Veyron. Lol.

Dan, Steve... question on our 5.0's. Do they come with oil coolers? And if not, are they needed? My guess with all that oil (aren't we 7 qts?) not needed, esp if not tracked? Just wondering if I'll see 235 plus temps again in normal daily driving.....

Modshack says not needed...and I haven't heard of anyone needing to install one. The car can definitely handle 25+ minutes track sessions without getting too far up there in temps. I think the one thread I saw they were seeing close to 250 after 25 minutes out...

No oil cooler. The engine takes 8 quarts.

So far no need for an oil cooler from what I've experienced and read.

One of the biggest things you'll like is that even when it's hot as **** outside and you have the AC blasting, the car never feels like it's struggling...

whoa... 8 qts. Holy $hit. That means I need to buy NINE qts of oil every oil change. Damn. When I get it in December, I won't be driving her, so she'll sit till spring, probably with 100 miles or less lol... then I will have to change the oil. LOL. So with Amsoil, that will be around 100 bucks a change. Damn.

What oil do you guys like to run?

And since I'm on topic of oil... any issues you've experienced or read regarding the dreaded oil consumption??? I hope it's nothing like folks (and myself) have seen on the VQ's.

I run Pennzoil Platinum. I used to run Redline in the 370 but don't need anything like that anymore.

I haven't had any oil consumption issues, but I have read of some. As with any car, check your levels regularly.

Yep I always do check. I was just wondering if severe consumption like we saw in VQ's (as in TSB type consumption) has been seen on the 5.0's.

And regarding oil I still plan to run Amsoil in it. That stuff rocks.

Definately...did allot of research before I made the switch. There's quiet a few threads on it too...on one a ford customer service rep said its fine too. Something about a regulation standard that increased the mpg by a small margin is that the current wieght is about
