Default Thinking about a new 5.0

Can't get my mind off of them. I test drove one a couple of months ago and I loved it! For a current new car, the bang for the buck is unbeatable. My car of choice would be a GT premium with the 3.73s. I'm on the fence with the Brembo package... I plan to educate myself more through this board, looks like a great resource.

This would be my first Mustang, I've had a couple of LS1 camaro's and a Dodge Challenger R/T Classic. Still have the Challenger and a 2002 Z28, but a Mustang would replace the Z28 - which has a built 427 with 680 hp. I don't expect to mod the Mustang as much... that car is a little excessive and I just don't drive it very much.

from one new forum member to another...welcome!

And I have avoided test driving a 5.0 myself as, well, I'm afraid of what I might do if I were to do that.

When you get it (no ifs...when) please share your joy and post some pics...I always enjoy seeing members new rides. Once again, welcome.
