I used to drive a late 80's 5.0...the car handled so poorly that is was fun. I drove a 2012 5.0 and was impressed, they have progresed a long ways. I have a GT500 and it is a whole different animal, yes you can tell it is a live axle however, the car handles very well. The harder you push the car the better it reponds, compared to my 370Z, my GT500 would have zero issues keeping up with one in turns. I will not say they are the greatest however, Ford has come a long way from the 5.0 I used to drive.
