+1 the engine is a stout factory engine, but the car in general is to "cadillac" for me, I like the feel of oldschool ***** to the wall. Like when I watch Die Hard I put on a bloody wifebeater because you cant beat americana.

 

It is true that the visceral sound and feel of a car built strictly to go fast is awesome, but if this car also has to perform DD duty(to include driving the wife and/or kids around town) then perhaps some of that razor edge needs to be blunted a little bit.

The beauty of the new 5.0 is that it does the DD and driving the wife around comfortably very well, yet it can go out and tear up some pavement when you want it to.

A purpose built vehicle is a completely different animal from a very good all around vehicle. The new 5.0 is a very well rounded car.

 

Thats why i never mix buisness with pleasure, animal muscle car feel then a grocery getter seprate DD to drive the woman around in.

 

exactly! if you want a good "all around" vehicle, go for an infiniti, lexus, etc, or their cheaper counter parts from nissan, toyota, etc., or hell, even the new taurus SHO. to me, and to most enthusiasts, a two door muscle car aint made for "the wife and kids" to scoot around town in. thats the job of a sedan...

 

this two door muscle ride can haul the wife and kids and scoot around town. lol I get both of you guys point though!

haha well many wouldn't consider a lincoln a "muscle car," but i see what you did there! well played sir!

 

lol hotrod lincoln.

 

I have a new edge GT, and thats why I wrote the review. Better in every way.

And Uber, I'd be keeping it stick axle with a torque arm and panhard bar. IRS swap would be too much of a hastle. It'd get the griggs racing package. SLA front suspension, procharger F1 blower or twin turbo and a nice wheel and tire package would be all I'd do. Boost it to 600rwhp and go spank lambos in straight lines or corners.

 

I'd be more inclined to get the Boss 302 and simply add a SC.
That would give me nice manners in handling situations and plenty of power for forward propulsion.

There will ALWAYS be fools with more money than sense who will have faster/better vehicles, but that set-up would make me VERY happy

 

I just drove one yesterday. a 2012 GT 6 speed california special. 39k. So you're telling me, right out of college, you're going to buy a 43 thousand dollar car, and add 12-15 thousand bucks worth of bullsh(t to it?
