It is a MUCH nicer sound then my stock LS3 (but with my borla exhaust I do prefer mine). I must say tho a mustang with that much power NEEDS the track pack, the little brakes and skinny tires just dont cut it. If your going to go big do it right and get the GT500's setup. I must say tho, in the automatic anyways, power and torque delivery was dissapointing. Maybe because it only had 500kms on it and wasnt fully broken in, but the LS3 would tear it a new one. Overall a very appealing car but if it was me it would definately need a standard transmission and the track pack.

Sounds like the automatic experience with the 5.0 was the same as mine with the V6. I don't understand it. Ford has these great new 6-speed autos (mechanically speaking), but the computer programmers don't seem to know what to do with them.
