Starting already...

Took her for a decent drive today. Actually took her to work.
On the way...I took the highway. Normally fairly light traffic at 6:30 in the morning. No open road...but moving along 5-10 over the speed limit.
Anyways...I am in the T/A just minding my own business trying to keep the RPM's from staying at one point for any amount of time....
Next thing I know...a Mark VIII pulls up next to me and revs. Sounded pretty good. Thinking 4.6L. Keep in mind this is in traffic. At this point we are going about 65 MPH. He backs off a little...and so do I. Then he goes WOT. I don't want to go over 4500 RPM's, so I don't.
Ever beat a car not using the strongest part of your powerband???

Update.....
Everything seems great, except for the clutch. A little off, probably needs bleed a little better.

Not much different than the earlier clip...but taken on a friends camera.

Also...got 15.5 MPG with her today with pretty hard driving.
Once the clutch issue is worked out and the weather improves after this upcoming storm, I will get footage of it going WOT to about 4500 RPM's.
