been a while but today a 2003 popped up on craigs, 16,000 miles, no mods, 2 owners, silver like my 86gt, i think i can get it for 20.000. 10 grand cheaper then the new 2011 5.0 i have been looking at, gonna go look tomm.
i like it, very informant, looking to buy a 2011 5.0 very soon, i did not know the difference between the premimun model, much nicer car all around, i like the hood scoop option. kona blue, sure wish i could find one around seattle area.
gonna get my new 2011 5.0 about the time my buddy gets his new cad. the new coupe, he says 556 hp, i dont want to supercharge mine for now, will i be able to take him with just the simple mods? my 5.0 is auto. i think 315s gears. thanks .
yes they are very powerfull, i test drove a couple, i used to drive mopors in the 60s, a few roadrunners , but what reminded me of the new 5.0 was a 69 dart 340 auto, 355 gears, it just flew from 30 to 80 mph. cant wait till i get the new 5.0.
going with plan b, iam a 62 year old fart, the mykey thing ill use when my wife drives it, lol, she says i can buy the new one as long as its the dark blue, i hate that color but ill live with it.
want a 2011gt very bad, but i was watching pinks today there was a 2010 gt AND a 08 gt , both 4.6s, they both had superchargers and they were in the low 12s , thinking about looking for a left over 2010 gt, they are going for around here for the low 20s, add the supercharger and have 2011 5.0...
hope no issiews with the auto trannys, the road tests on the autos seem about the same as the 6 speed manual tranny. iam having a hard time trying to find a auto. trans. ford must have more 6 speed manuals , autos are hard to find here.
you guys that have never drove a new 5.0 will be in for a big suprise, i about crapped when i drove one a few months back, tonns of tq. even with the auto tranny, the 1 i drove had the auto, rolling from 20 to 60mph it just throws you in the seat, even at a 60mph full throttle it feels the same...
ok, sounds good, was thinking about waiting for the 12 model, but no bad reports so far from any new owners ill mabye see if they still have any ones for 27,500 left, they are the priemume models with the brembo brakes and other options too. wish me luck.
ya, but i need the auto, in case the wife needs to drive it sometimes, she has a 09 v=6 accord auto, it took me some talking her in to this new 5.0 , as long as its a auto.
how are they holding up? what kind of miles you guys have? gonna get one real soon, a dealer here in seattle has 3 premune new 2011 5.0s on sale for 27,500, i hope one is a auto, if so ill get mine real soon.
