New to this site, looking at a blue 2020ST to replace my wife's 2010 CX-9. Been a great car but really liking the new 2020, especially the ST version. I'm a die hard Ford guy, but not opposed to some other vehicles. Currently my DD is a Mercedes CL-65 (
), but also have a '17 F350 Dually with a D/T 6.7 currently making about 640/1300HP/TQ. Also building a new drag car to take over track duty from the Mercedes. It's a 1979 Ford Fairmont Futura. Dart 9.5 deck block with a SCAT 427" stoker kit and eventually a couple turbo's. Car is back 1/2ed with 4 link & double adjustable coil overs set up to tuck 325/50's under it. Previous cool Fords include a '04 Lightning I built ended up at 697/734 RWHP/TQ & ran mid 10's, had a '77 Cougar with a 488" big block. Assorted Mustangs, F150's, 250's, etc. Looking forward to putting an ST in the garage! (and then modding it of course!)

77 cougar.....sssssweet. we had a 76 xr7 new back then. Beautiful and sporty but like the others of that era, underpowered. Sounds like you alleviated that problem!

I sure tried to. Fast luxury cars weren’t really a thing back then. I thought it would be the best of both worlds. Loved that car. They initiated emissions testing where I lived at the time and there was eventually no way to register the car with the 1969 motor so I had to part it out.
