wow, i couldnt believe how slow it felt. now i know it comes off as douchey and i dont mean to disrespect my fellow mustang brothers, but damn.

i think its meant as more of a "man has technology come a long ways in mustangs". and im sure it was this was then the 3v came out and the 2v was knocked down a peg.

it was still fun as hell, and did make me recall the memories of my 3v, which i loved dearly.

it just really struck me, i dunno i guess i didnt expect that much of a difference, the 3v isnt a slow car by any means. but after nearly 6 months in a 5.0 every day the two cars couldnt be any different. the 5.0 feels more then 302ci and pulls so nice and smoothly with a broad torque curve. where i noticed in the 3v that it was only 281ci and needed to be reved out to make the power.

like i said, i DO NOT mean to sound like a dick it was just kind of eye opening to me. thats probably what GT500 guys say when they get into 5.0s or boosted 3vs say when they drive a stock 5.0.

Should've posted this in tech!

I know exactly how you feel. I drove my old convertible GT in stock form on Saturday and I couldn't believe how terribly slow it was.

Actually, my stock 5.0 has put it on GT500s and blown 3V cars, lol.

I don't mind sounding like a dick. :thumb2:

I think the 3v guys know how the 5.0 guys feel since say, about 2011..I mean the 5.0 does have a hundred more H.P., and tons of new tech, so I hope it feels stronger, we get it..lol

Not this crap again.

LMAO, Yep!

To sum up the debate on the 5.0 vrs 3v.

Its like this, you can have a super intelligent chick with an ugly ass or a moderately intelligent chick with a fine ass and teach her things she didn't know she could do! LOL

lol "didn't expect much of a difference" with an extra 100+ hp

If he hadn't gone so far out of his way to say otherwise I would've called troll.

LOL!

Fact is the new 5.0 is a far superior power plant and the car has all the new features that draw most of us to the newer cars. Fact is though there are many, like me, that don't DD our cars and can make the comments as I do for my needs in a car. If I had to DD my car I would have a 13' in the garage right now. Further more if a 13' GT500 was at my house when I come home I would trade for it in a second ! (After a few moment of tears with the 05 Redfire)

Who wouldn't trade straight up for a '13 GT500? It's an easy decision once you wave off the whole extra 35+ thousand bucks you're gonna have to cough up.

100 hp tends to do that. My brothers completely stock 5.0 is as fast as my 3V was with a 100 shot of nitrous.

Oh, and ......
