And it was simply incredible. No I know what you're thinking. Yeah right. The story begins with a 2010 and and oil change...

After dropping my 2010 off for it's first oil change, I preceded to the showroom floor to check out the cars are can't afford. Low and behold what do I see through the windows parked out front??




I noticed the 5.0 badging instantly. So I walked outside and proceeded to fondle it until a manager came out. After talking about my 2010 and the differences of the 5.0, I asked the question. 'Can I drive it?' 'Absolutely', he said. 'Why do you think it's here?' And off we went. So how is it? Two words: Bad ***. It somehow sounds just like a Mustang while at the same time it sounds totally different than my 2010. Deeper. Throatier. Meener. The 6 speed manual is very nice. Not noticeably different than the 5 speed (except reverse, of course). And it's powerful. While it's acceleration feels noticeably different from the 4.6, it's hardly worth losing my shirt on a trade. So those of you who already placed your orders, get ready. She's a beast. Those of you on the fence. Get to your dealer tomorrow. It's that good.

 

Whoa! Can't beleive we get the first 5.0 driven review from a member here rather then a magazine!

Thats awesome. bring a stop watch? 0-60?

 

You're a lucky SOB.

 

It's certainly not much of a review and I was only in it for about 10-15 minutes. But I do know that it was the best all around Mustang that I have ever driven.

 

Wow, buy your lotto ticket tonight.

 

Awesome! I can't wait to take a test drive!

 

'ya da man, thanks for sharing. And where is that car located exactly ? Did you bring a cam with you. We want to ear it . Can you go back and just ask to start it up ?

 

Cool.
Probably one of the first few "general" citizens to get their feet behind one.
I didn't even know they hit the showrooms already... ?
Thanks for sharing.

 

It was at Gainesville Ford/Lincoln/Mercury in Gainesville, Florida. I'll run by there after work tomorrow and see if it's still there.

 

nice.. that's one of the test vehicles

 

Please if you can! This is awesome!

Overboost drove the V6, and now you/ve driven the 5.0!

 

Manufacturer car that they must be showing around to some dealers.

 

*speechless*

 

Awesome. Think I'll stroll by my dealerships out here just to see what they might happen to have on the lots...

 

Hell Yeah. Please go get a video and take some more ppics of the engine if possible. Thank You.

 

nice i cant wait till i actually drive both myself. that way i can decide to get a 10 or take more money than i should out of savings for a 11

 

Awesome!

 

So jealous....

 

Might be more than one. I'm going up to Los Angeles on Thursday to see the 2011 V6 and GT at one of the dealerships up there.

 

Which one? Galpin?
