Got it at custom cars. 402r powered. The last one I had was a 351w. Hopefully I won't have to push this one up the hills. I guesss I should wait until my first service to make sure nothing is falling off and I get the oil with the nasty stuff in it changed before I give it a good test drive. '
It was a pleasure driving it up from South Florida. It would have been more fun if I could have gotten the stereo to work. My kids could'nt even get it to work. Maybe its just the battery in the remote.

Congrats, I have 419 with the roush 402r as well and it is a gas to drive. I didn't start to really get on it untill after the 500 mile oil change. I run it up to about 5000 rpm's now and after the 1000 mile change I will really beat on it.My stereo works great after about 3000rpms.:

Congrat Paul:

You must have picked yours up about noon on Friday. I got mine at 5:30 that night. I also have the 402R with a TKO 600. Right now the 500 mile check up will come pretty quick. Drove it a couple of hundred miles today. Good luck with your car. Hope to meet you at an event sometime.

Is it me or is there a lack of picture taking with guys that get new cars?

WHERE ARE THE PICS???????

Trularin,
It looks a lot like the other Backdraft cars-- Blue and white.
The stereo is a secret audio-- It must be called that because it is a secret on how to make it work. It works great for the radio if you are inside the trunk pointing the remote at the unit, otherwise it does not work. Also the CD part of the unit does not work at all. When the button to start the CD player is pressed the head unit says " No CD" even though I have 10 CD's in the unit.
It really sucks to have a stereo that I can not get any satisfaction from.
Paul

Sounds like of there was more driving being done there would be less talk about stereo issues

I concur with hawiicobra!!

I don't mean to steal this thread from Paul, but my photos are on this site www.jlennon3.photosite.com

Only a few photos as I have been busy on the inside of the cockpit and not much time on the outside. More photos this weekend.
