Got smoked by a Mustang GT....Not happy!

He never even mentioned that it was a 5.0 LOL!!! Maybe he is a bad driver, maybe the GT was a 4.6 and modded. LOL. You guys need to stop drinking the 5.0 Cool Aid.

I was thinking this, too.

New GT = 5.0

shadoquad

yeah, but it makes the story funnier if you keep imagining it with progressively slower and slower Mustangs.

"So, I lined up and this Mustang II started throwin' revs at me, and then all I saw were his tail lights."

Correct me if I'm wrong but the last year 4.6 was exactly the same on the outside down to the sequential tail lights as the first year 5.0??? Or at least very close no? All I'm saying is if I'm telling a story about me getting smoked by a 5.0 I'm calling it a 5.0.

Strictly speaking, that's no longer the current bodystyle.


We can argue all day about what the OP may or may not now, but it is a perfectly reasonable interpretation to assume actually meant a new car, not a 2010.

shadoquad

I don't see why it would be unreasonable to think that it "could" be a 2010. The 2010-2012 body style is very similar to the 2013, and someone who doesn't know the subtle difference could mistake them.

Red__Zed

Didn't say it wasn't. Just saying most people will assume 5.0 based on the information given.

Based on sales numbers, the odds are overwhelmingly in favor of it being a 5.0.

shadoquad

That's true. I just find the more pathetic case to be funnier.

Mt Tam I am

I am looking forward to personally finding out where 4th gear winds out next month at a high speed track. I read 120+ in this thread.

6th is just an overdrive correct? Or where does 5th gear take a 370 to, without a limiter?

It could be a 4.6 or a 5.0. Both are reasonable conclusions. But I think the 5.0 is the more likely candidate based on the given information. Either way, both have a SRA...
