If you like the looks of the mustang, then I'm going to say that if you test drive one, you will love it. Ive driven both, and putting looks aside, I prefer the drive of the 5.0. Power delivery just feels smoother compared to the Z.

I don't blame you, very nice looking car, Ford keeps improving the interior on top of that. Not to mention the power. Wonder what the true MPG is?

Everyone's driving/commute varies, but my mileage has been about the same between the 5.0 and the z.

But the 5.0 can take regular gas, correct?

No Steve's cars are mine!!!

:iagree: :bowrofl:

Yes, but I definitely notice it doesn't run as well.

But having that option is nice.

This thread is actually making me want to go to the Ford dealership and do a test drive. The 0% APR sounds nice. But somehow I feel like even if the 5.0's performance is amazing, 3 months down the line I will see a Nismo on the street and regret my decision.

See way to many 5.0's on the street and most of them women drivers. I'll stick with the Z

Way too many 5.0s?

There were, what....26k sold in 2011, less in 2012 (sales figures not out yet)

23k z's in 09-10...the ratio is closer than you would like to imagine....

There are three 5.0s in my apt complex and two 370s. All the 5.0s are driven by men and one of the Zs is driven by an older lady. :)

But none of them park like a boss.

I see so many 5.0's, it's incredible.

Like, I was innocently browsing ford.com. Nothing but 5.0's. I listened to my favorite musical artist, Vanilla Ice, and I gotta hear about 5.0's. I go to this Z meet once in Fairfax, VA. Effing 5.0 shows up.

When in your life have you ever seen a Z? I OWN one, and I don't know it's there half the time. I tend to stub my toe in my driveway. I look down, and there's the Z I parked there.

:icon18: I see a bunch of v6 stangs, few 5.0's.

I see hardly any 5.0s. . . lots of the v6 ones though

but goddamn that is super tempting. . .I really like the newer rear lights too
