I don't get the point of this post?
Is this part of the "elitism" that always follows when a new model or engine debuts? Is this an attempt to disassociate the new 5.0 with the old 5.0 (or 4.9l as lovingly pointed out).
A true enthusiast realizes that without the old 5.0....there wouldn't be a new 5.0. Yes, I know it's not the same engine, but the 5.0 has a huge role in mustang history. A LOT of people still remember the heyday of this engine. A true enthusiast will appreciate the history. Most people here already know the new 5.0 is a vastly superior engine. We don't need to point out that a 20-year old pushrod motor doesn't compare. But there is still some strong history attached to that 5.0 badge. To reject it seems sacrilege IMHO
