As stated in the article...
I'm whining only cause mine doesn't whineWHAT'S HOT
· Mustang/Camaro-beating acceleration
· Sports-car performance with room for entire family
· VT package for Grand Marquis and Crown Vic
WHAT'S NOT
· Blower whine gives away game
· Roller valvetrain a bit clackety
· Exhaust note just over the top

I believe there are other thread for this article and we have a member here who owns the car.

Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.
MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.
Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.
Rest In Peace:

See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.
IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.
That would be me. Motor just got redone, it's 5.1L now, a bit more PSI from the blower also and has a Stallion TC. Once I bought the car I noticed one of the reasons for the times it ran were the tires could not hold the power 255 rear is not even close to big enough. She's def meaner now than she was in the article. Also yes the car is very loud, the whine is also quite loud so all sleeper potential is pretty much goneOriginally Posted by RoyLPita

well chainsaw buzz is just annoying, 5L rumble is like magic. Google for sounds of 5L stangs with magnaflows or the like and that's about what it sounds like, add a pretty loud whistle from the paxton and there you have itOriginally Posted by merc6
