Get a 5.0 or keep my car?
So I posted this on other forums but I thought I might ask here aswell. Lately I've caught the 5.0 bug. I love my car but the potential for the power on the stock 4.6 is limited without buying a forged short block. What would you guys do in my place? One of my biggest issues is that I won't be happy with the look of the car unless I do a major over haul and get the Cervini kit all over again. The payments on the new car wouldn't change from what I'm paying now, it would just be for a longer term.

Get the 5.0 and don't look back. No replacement for displacement!! Lol. But ur 07 does look really good. Tough decision. But the 5.0 is hands and feet above the 4.6.

Full Cervini bodykit, Cervini skide exhaust, Magnflow X Pipe, JLT CAI, LCA, Tune. I actually have a Saleen Supercharger that is getting rebuilt right now. If I got the 5.0 then I would just sell it.

Keep yours, modify it and the 05-09 body style is much better looking is my opinion. I drove a new 5.0 and the steering assist is the only thing I liked about it! Put a little more power in yours and let everybod else tack on a payment plus their mods because no one is ever happy stock!

I'd faster just buy a forged block and drop it into your current car. You'd be looking at less of a loss that way by far. When you've put as much money as you have into your current ride in terms of making it look just right etc, IMO it seems stupid to upgrade and blow tons more money not only on the engine upgrade but on buying all new parts for the new ride too.
