If I had a 5.0 I'd pit GT on the fender just to display a little deception.

I'm sure that's what it is.

"I'd better not pass. He has 100 extra hp on tap."

Sounds likely to me.

Thought about it...the 5.0 starts a lot of conversations with older car guys that have kinda "checked out" of the scene since the 90s...I've been having fun meeting people

Alabama highways are just like the fast and the furious movies...passing is like an insult and an invitation to race

Just remember, there's always a faster car.

Nobody in a Vette is scared of that 5.0 badge. Neither is anyone in a decent Porsche.

People are more scared by the potential in the car...kinda like the way people respond when they see an intercooler.

I'm pretty sure that 95% of drivers on the road couldn't care less. Because they'd have to put down their breakfast sammitch or cell phone to read your badge anyway.

Out of the remaining 5%, half of them are equally scared of my car or anything that looks sporty, because they don't understand the varying levels of performance.

So, for the 3 guys you'll run into next month that appreciate the tuning potential of your stock Mustang... Go ahead, walk their chevy pickups.
