Default Driving a 5.0 - Daily

I am about to purchase my 5.0 by the end of this week and have driven the car and like it. Now the only thing is people are telling me i'm going to hate myself after driving this thing for more than a day.

Is this true? I have driven 5.0's before but not for a whole day so I can't really answer my own question.

Let me know from true 5.0 owners!

WTF driving a mustang everyday is the ****. Having all that power under your foot whenever you need is only a good thing. Maybe people will hate you because their jealous. I drive my to N.J 3 hours and don't even need to stop, I could keep going, its actually a nice and comfortable ride

the only thing i can think of is that it in our fox bodies it sounds like you are riding in a big styrafoam cooler with the hatch going crazy on every bump. Also the exhaust fumes pretty much do whatever they want.
