You know what's really sad....
I bet only 10% of the country know that the 5.0 is in the new Mustang. The past few days, I've been telling people and friends that I want to possible sell my current GT in for the new 5.0's. You wouldn't believe the responses I get.
-Isn't the 5.0 in the cop cars?
-The Mustang has always had the 5.0 in it
-Isn't your yellow Mustang a 5.0?
-I thought your Mustang was already the brand new one?
-Ohh is that the car that Shia lebeof drives in Transformers??...Wait, no, your car is the one from Transformers, right?
-Don't they put out the same poer (4.6 and 5.0), what's the point?
These are literally the responses of people and some friends when I told them I wanted to get the new Mustang 5.0 next year lol.
Idk I just wanted to share that with you, but looks like we're in the minority when it comes to knowledge about the 5.0 lol

i am a bit surprised that fomoco is not more actively marketing this gem of a car. i'd be running ads during college football, NFL games, ESPN, you name it. can't think of seeing a single television or print advert for the new 5.0.

You're the one thats going to be driving it, so as long as you know what it is, it shouldn't matter 
.
I think thats the different between people who drive cars for their own enjoyment, and people who drive cars to impress others. And then there are those who do both.

Yeah, I wish they'd advertise this car more. A lot of people probably think the 2011 is still pushing the 4.6 engine still.

That's the thing. I can't tell you how many time's my cousin's called me about a new game, or a buddy's talked about a new TV coming out. And I couldn't care less. It's a hobby, so only those that care know the differences in the 2011 stang.
