Not being a dick either .. But I love the look an options of the 5.0 but IMO don't think the 5.0 badge has all that much prestige and uniqueness... In my area they are everywhere... No not as much as the 05-09 GT obviously due to time and quantity out there .. But pretty popular none the less.. Whereas I have only seen 2 boss mustangs and a few gt500... Obviously as time goes on more and more 5.0 will be on the road.. Which of course means more awesome cars to start outnumbering all the ricers out there.. So let's get more stangs on the road

you can keep your badge. difference in power? there'll always be somebody faster.
just bc your Mustang is new doesn't mean its the baddest on the block.

Very true, my mistake. But they are within the year range I stated lol. I believe the GT500s were 08 and 09 only? Not too sure on that.
I would like the power, anyone would lol. But I dunno if many people understand the weight behind the badge... Few are familiar with mustang history to that depth.

the badge on the side of a car means nothing to me.
its whats under the hood and behind the wheel is what makes a car go fast.
a Mustang is a Mustang to me. no matter what year.
each generation has its own specialty to it.
there's more to a Mustang than a fender badge.

If your saying that 5.0 badge alone has prestige I'd have to ask why? Most people don't know mustang history to compare or support that logic.. 5.0 badging is visible on vehicles of yesterday and today and some I wouldn't brag about just because they have a badge that's shows 5.0 in my opinion... Let's face it I know you replied just a bit ago that the power of the vehicle wasnt your point albeit you did point it out as such above.. Overall the 5.0 is a bad azz machine no doubt but I can honestly and respectfully say I dunno if many agree with it carrying some magical prestige with it.. To me prestige is an original 69 fastback or classic driving down the road in cherry condition .. I will glance at a 5.0 but I tend to glance and appreciate all stangs I see or pass on the road with the same admiration

I don't get this statement?? I mean if you are saying sheer quantity of 05-09 GT vs 5.0... Well yeah the 05-09 should out number the 5.0 since the 5.0 just got started again

It's too late. Shouldn't have said anything. People are already being like "OMG U HATER" about the situation. -_-
