Unfortunately, I have to agree with those having the opinion that the rear ends of the newest Mustangs are UGLY. They are sickeningly UGLY!!
Me too... I didnt even consider buying the new stang because I dont like the way it looks. Hate to admit it, but I think the Camaro is so much better looking.
give me 6k$ and ill be doin wheelies, in-front of your house all day long in my 2v
Buying a new 5.0 is just as big a waste of money because it's a toy. Except it's a waste of $30k-$40k instead of my $10k.
I necessarily put it like that. A toy to me screams flashy and fun, but unreliable, short trip, weekend driver that continuously soaks your wallet dry and requires a lot of maintenance and TLC for upkeep.
The new Mustang (while also flashy and fun) is a smooth, reliable, roomy, multipurpose vehicle that gets great mileage, and is warranted for 5-years.
Just because it looks good and hauls the mail on top of all that, doesn't automatically categorize it as a "toy".

figure around that for 500rwhp
or i dropped 4gs into my stock engine and made about the same w/ 14lbs of boost. Plus just a built bottom end I should be well into the 600rwhp area.
With my brothers setup and a few other turbo setups here on stangnet we have seen well over 500+rwhp on stock engines.
5lbs vs 15+lbs of boost on stock engine.
$4000 turbo setup
$2500-3500 built bottom end
using stock heads, cams and intake and 18-20lbs of boost

2v can do work if you know what you are doing...
So what you're basically saying, is that it would cost you the same amount of money to make similar boosted horsepower levels in comparison to a blown 5.0L TiVCT?
Funny that for some, it doesn't sound so ludictrous to spend $7,500 on a power adder and fortified bottom end (not taking into consideration supporting parts) to achieve the numbers, but spending that much on the FRPP blower kit for the '11 GT to make the numbers is out of the question???

I'm not sure why every thread that has the 5.0 has to turn into a pissing match guys?
