The Deal
6
$17,020 for 420 hp is $40.5 a horsepower, and the years you want cost the same as the ones you do not.
The Drive
8
The Coyote is the reason to own it. What it is bolted into still has a live axle.
The Upkeep
5
Regular fuel and square tires that rotate, which is why a V8 costs about what a hot hatch does to run.
The Risk
7
The scary story is a transmission. The actual repair is a clutch, and a test drive finds it.
The Daily
6
Four seats you can use occasionally, and a ride that reminds you where the axle is.
The Limit
6
Quick and composed in a line, nose-heavy into a corner, and the axle hops when the surface breaks up.
The Mods
8
Cheap to make fast, and every horsepower you add leans harder on the clutch that is already the weak point.
