you will want to do some suspension stiffening if your going to drive it everyday, hard. my stang is my DD and the torque boxes have taken a turn for the worse because of it.

I think 5.0s make fine DDs as long as they arent too heavily modded.

I drive mine daily to and from work...and everywhere else. problems are few and far between; and when they do come up, I fix them and keep on driving. Having said that, when I first bought my car, I spent about $2500 getting it ready for prime time.

It's ok as a daily driver if you don't mind the gas mileage. I leave mine as home and drive a Mystiquev6 around during the week (wish it was a 4cyl). I save a ton is gas and keep the miles and wear and tear off the stang.
