How many 5.0s Have You Seen?
Today, I saw my second one. It was Performance White still with dealer plates on. It was in the university parking lot.. two spots over. I laughed when I realized I had sat there for about 5 minutes just staring at it.
I'd ask about the V6 too but they're not distinguishable from the 2010. Even though I made the decision to order what I ordered (built today) and I'm comfortable with my decision in my current situation, the 5.0 badge just emits this aura of awesomeness that freezes you. I really hope the 2014+ will be even sexier as I'll probably get a GT in 2015.
Anyways, purpose of this thread - How many 5.0s have you seen (aside from the one parked in your garage/driveway)? I've only seen two and I'm slightly shocked. Around here, I can throw a rock and it'll bounce off a G37 and hit another one, and if the rock ricochets again it'll probably hit a third. Same goes for Chrysler 300 on 22's.

2011 V6s have dual exhaust, 2010s do not.
I've seen two. One is my own. I saw one other 5.0 back in August, I think. It looked like a California Special and it was definitely 2010+. It didn't have the badge and I wasn't able to get a very close look at it, was on the road and turned off shortly after I spotted it in the rearview mirror. It wasn't a test drive that I could tell.

Hard to tell. I've seen about a dozen diapermobiles and a few with the '11 power dome hoods in traffic.
But I love when I pass an oncoming Mustang or one at an intersection. Cause I know they always say to themselves "that was a friggin' Bullitt"! A rare sighting it is!

I've seen 4 GTs and 1 V6 so far in the Buffalo area. I was actually parked next to another 5.0 in a cruise night tonight. We chatted for awhile about what mods we wanted to do and how great of a car it is to drive. He loved my Corsa exhaust and wants to get it now. There goes my plan to try to be a little unique for the new 5.0 in my area. 
It's all good though.

I saw six, including my own at the Sturgis Mustang Rally, and there may have been more among the 500+ Stangs that were there. I have not seen another on the road yet, but the dealers have them in stock. The California Special does not have the 5.0 on the fender, so it may not be as easy to spot one.

I have seen them at dealerships of course and around here they seem to be sitting a long time for some reason.
I seen one other silver 5.0 in another town i was driving through but none in my town.
Im lucky i have seen maybe a half dozen '10's. Just not big sellers here. Tons of 05-09's and SN95's.

0 on the road and mine is the only 2011 V-6 i've seen on the road in my area. I know several (2011) V-6's and G.T.'s have been sold but i haven't seen them. My house is only 80 feet from a busy 4 lane highway. I see the same 5 or 6 new Camaro's every few days.
