it's the new 5.0 coyote that did it for me. yes the numbers are impressive, but it "feels" more like a pony car than a sports car.

I definitely never contend that it "feels" like a sports car. It feels like a pony car which is a cross between a sports car and a muscle car, and honestly that's how it should feel.

IRS will be a welcome addition if they do it right, and hopefully they do sort out the feedback from the electronic steering box. But as it stands right now it's an absolute blast to drive with a lot of aftermarket potential.

that is true, 5.0 coyote is a beast. simple bolt ons and a tune will stomp on the likes of M3, isf, c63 and other cars that cost twice as much.
