So I drove the 5.0 yesterday...
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.

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.
