In my experience, the guys in big diesel trucks respect the 5.0. I can usually count on them to let me in when I'm merging onto the freeway. Some give me a thumbs up or a wave.
On the other hand, the guys who get seriously pissed off are the ones driving BMW M3s. They have a serious problem with the 5.0 ever since the car magazines began comparing the two. They are always revving the **** out of their cars and cutting me off every chance they get.
This old joke couldn't be more true
What is the difference between a porcupine and a BMW?
In the BMW, the ***** is on the inside.

I have found most M3 drivers to be pretty chill around me. I think it's because they know that I'm either an even match or faster than they are. Respect. 
Now when I drove my 370Z... everyone around me, regardless of what they were driving, switched to d-bag mode. Mustang, Camaro, M3, Civic, etc... everybody wanted a piece of me.
The cool, and somewhat annoying, thing about the 5.0 is that people will fly up very quick on you, pull along side, then back off completely once they see the "5.0" badge. I facepalm every time. It's not that big of a deal, guys!

I was cruising with the windows down and I had a guy in a lifted diesel Ram cruise next to me. Then he put his exhaust pipe right next to my window and floored it. Smoke went everywhere and inside my car.

When a guy in a camaro sees me in the mustang they always give me a dead eye like I'm the enemy, I just assume they have seen all the videos and reviews I've seen of the 5.0 walking all over the SS.

K. I've been driving my 99 Crew Cab diesel 6 speed 4x4 for about 12 years and nearly 300,000 mi now. At one point or another I'm likely to be guilty of everything said above except for "rolling coal" on an innocent bystander. Most of the diesels around here are contractors and landscapers and they're all trying to minimize their fuel bills, not race anyone.
The biggest beef people seem to have with me is they are cruising in one lane then move over to mine even though I'm going 20+ mph faster than them. Then they freak out when I roll up close behind them. Then they want to play games. Bad idea.

Agreed. I even get harrassed by other Mustang drivers when I am driving mine from time to time.

They(diesel truck guys) are pretty much the only ones that ever do anything when I have the Cobra out.
I don't think they think they are faster than the Cobra, just a "I see you, now look at my ride kinda thing."

I'd say beware of some of those diesel pick up trucks. My brother-in-law has a Chev 4x4 that we refer to as a mustang killer. With all terrain tires on it he is running mid 11's at the track. Even the announcer stopped laughing at him when he completed his first run.

Tonight I was coming back from a cruise night in a small town.
The cops there are a PITA and the speed limit is 25 then 30 for several miles.
I set the car for 35 and putted through town with a big Dodge behind me.
I can actually hear his truck spooling up and slowing down repeatedly as we crawl through town.
600ft. before the interstate the town ends and the speed limit goes up and it goes to 2 lanes.
There is a light at the off ramp which turns yellow as we approach.
He gets in the right lane and slows way down to roll up and blow me off when it turns green.
The housewife behind him gets pissed and whips around him, pulling up to the light BESIDE ME.
NOW HE IS REALLY UPSET and stuck behind HER.
The light changes and I take off slowly because I am taking the next left to get on the interstate and go home.
As I take the turn, I glance over to see what is happening.
IT WAS THE MOST SMOKE I HAVE EVER SEEN OUT OF AN EXHAUST.
He was passing her in the BREAKDOWN LANE.
The really odd thing is that I know it turns back into a 30 zone in another 600ft.
