Awesome 5.0 Mustang!!!!
Ok, maybe not that awesome. I noticed a 2012 5.0 Mustang on the local Ford dealership lot the other day (only the 2nd they ever had..it took them 6 months to sell the first one) and thought it might be nice to drive the Competition. One of the sales guys is in my SS class at church and he invited me down to drive it. So, I did....we put about 30 miles on it and I have to say I left fairly well impressed. It was a 6m and I knew Randy didn't mind me getting on it when as we got to a place to run it hard, he reached over and pressed the traction control button to off and said, "go ahead, burn a little rubber if you want". Even at that, it didn't burn a lot of rubber in first and I got chirps in second and then 3rd. $36K...no Brembos or gears, but leather, ambient lighting and the bigger wheels. Had it over red line a couple times and it pulls hard...not as hard as my modded Camaro, but I was impressed. Interior about on the par with my car but the dash is nice softer material than ours. Awesome, but not as awesome as my Camaro, SEMA's hottest car for the second year running!!!
