forget about the premium level, and saves money to buy afthermarket things.
-shaker radio?.... you can buy an afthermarker one with better sound.
-leather? ... you can buy oem ford leather on ebay
-ambient light ?? you can buy a similar oem on ebay
-ford sync,... you can get that 1..
plus not of those items add you hp or performance in the car..

you can save like $11,000 if you dont buy those things , but if you have money to waste!! go for it!!!

i order my mustang with all the performance items , i dont even care to get nav,leather ect ect...

i have an 2013 gt with recaros,track,boss settings and items,suspension and other performance goodies, i cant be more happy!!!

Well of course the 5.0 will be more of an investment. I have a sixxer but have driven a couple 5.0's and i gotta say there really isnt much for comparison. Bigger motor, bigger name, bigger presence. As for options it just depends. Do you like havin alot of creature comforts and convenience? Or do you care more about just the experience of driving? Either way it depends. But still id get the 5.0 without a doubt if i could afford it

For me it was the features I opted for not the HP.. However mine is a Daily Driver and I work only 5 mile away from home. I opted for that because I go to work alone and did not want a 4 door car or some Japanese/Korean 4 wheel appliance. If it would have been a weekend warrior that I garage and drive like hell on the weekend I would have opted for the 5.0.. To be honest no one can tell another what to get or what it should be that is up to your bank book and your needs to be honest. I could say to the avid 5.0 V8 crowd why did you stop at a GT.. why not a Boss... Or a Boss Owner why not a GT500 and GT500 guys why not a Super Snake get my drift.. We have all these choices because we all have different needs and wants and to a greater degree different budgets.. Just my .02..

Take one out for a test drive.. Price up what works for you. Oh I am sure the people telling you to get the 5.0 will chip in some $$$$ LOL
