I personally dislike sounding like what is commonly called an “advocate” in the world of automotive media, but in this case it’s difficult to construct an alternate approach. The 2011 Mustang V-6 is a damned good car, and it’s important for a number of reasons. The five-liter, on the other hand, is better than damned good. Unless your shopping list starts at Gallardo money, it should include a Mustang 5.0, preferably with the Brembo brakes and with the full SYNC/nav system.

I just read the one from the Wall Street Journal. I found it off-putting. Dan Neil says that neither engine is state of the art. OK, so they may lack some technology found in $200,000 supercars but I would say they are as close to state of the art as someone could hope for in their price category. And we can thank the Obama administration for the fuel economy improvements? Right. Ford must have really been inspired by the president if they only started work on these new engines once Obama took the oath of office. I guess George W. Bush should get credit for Sync.
