have u seen on the road in your neighborhood or 10 miles radius? Forget about going to a Car show or Mustang get together but just in general.

Probably 1 in 10 of the new Mustangs I see are the 5.0.

... If that, even.

I've seen one Kona 5.0 in town, said he was passing through. Dad works with an ER doc that bought an '12 5.0. In city I drive to a lot I've seen 2 silver verts w/black top. Prob the same one?

Oh yeah, I live in a town of 3,100. There is my '11 5.0 & an '11 GT500.

I don't get out much to see what's passing through town, too.

There are 5 or 6 running around the Lexington Park area. This makes them pretty rare. There are far more C6 Z06s running around.

About 1 in 4 here are 5.0s. And of the 6s, about half are verts. Rare to see a 5.0 vert. But I have seen a couple. Rarer still is the Cobra sighting. I have seen 2.

They're all at the dealership with bum transmissions or blown #8s.

Really.....can't we go at least one thread without bringing that up??

Back on topic now, I've seen about 5 others since I got mine in May. More 2010's and V6's than anything.

Yeah, I see them fairly often. There's two at work, that I know of. Weirdly enough, I see '08 Bullitts (two different ones, at least) around here occasionally along with a pre-refresh GT-500 that seems to be someone's semi-daily driver.

Fairly common here in Charlotte, I'd say about 40/60 5.0 to 3.7 but I agree not too many 5.0 verts.

agreed.. I currently live in Memphis and in the last 12 months have maybe seen 3 or 4. Mind you the metro area is well over a million drivers and I travel the tri-state area everyday
