who has the most miles on their 5.0
12 5.0 took delivery 6/6/11 up to ~8,200 miles.
First car - 99 v6 5 speed just hit 140k bought 10 years ago with 15k on it, still has original clutch ... reliability of it is the reason I ordered another mustang!

Most of mine are street miles...but have been to the drag strip at least 6 times. And usually make 6-10 passes a night. No issues so far.
I'm about to hit 10K and I took delivery Sept last year with 79 miles on it. I had 6024 miles on it since I have been in Germany and a lot of them have been spent at over 120MPH on the lovely autobahn. I'm love this place.
That sounds like fun. Too bad fuel is what, $9/gallon or so?
I paid $4.04/GAL today when I filled up with 93. Because I'm awesome. 'Merica!! I reset the mpg counter and got 21.4 on the way home going 80 the whole way pretty much.

As for anything I didn't like about the 2011/12, they had some issues, but none that could not be solved with a little patience working through Ford service.
As for the miles, I put some good miles on each of them, 2011 had 30k miles, 2012 had 27k miles, each averaging about 2k miles per month.
I don't believe in babying cars, you should enjoy them. Besides, it's not a Ferrari its a $30 some thousand muscle car. I just bought it 3 weeks ago and I have 320 miles on it and I drive it like I stole it. It's just a car...
Boring, slow, painful daily commutes are for my Jeep (which I also enjoy driving might I add)
