[QUOTE="kcsvt94l, post: 13452847, member: 52268"] The funny thing about all these 5.0 guys that get beat up on for posting these stories is it's more often than not Vette guys chiming in. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of c5z and c6z's, but to compare the two cars is apples to oranges. From both a functionality perspective as well as a price point perspective. I understand it's frustrating to have cars that cost half as much be in the same conversation, that's not the 5.0's fault. Ford hit a home run with this engine, lets give them some credit. The competitive aspect of it is great for all of us, they'll keep putting more and more power in these cars(till the government steps in anyway) I do hate to break it to you folks weather you're a GM guy, Vette Guy, Terminator Guy, Shelby Guy. Despite what people say or think & bench racing aside, fact of the matter is, You can take a base 5.0 which can be had for about 27-28k brand new, put on 3k-4k worth of bolt-ons (No Power adder, no internal engine work, no weight reduction except for slicks & Skinnies) and High 10's low 11's can and have been of obtained plenty of guys out there running that. If you wanna peek over at the 11-14+ forums you'll see proof of this. While it may not always beat every c6z, it is absolutely capable of being a worthy opponent. I don't think anyone can deny that fact that for 35k you can have a brand new ~500WHP car is impressive whether you hate Mustangs or not. I think the same can be said of a Shelby owner, you're coming pretty close to bridging the performance gap and saving 15-20k. Granted there are the other options that come into play, leather, nav, ambient lighting, all that jazz. I personally think if you want that shit put it in a daily driver. Not your sports car. While some of these stories may get old and some may be untrue. Lets not knock the entire platform because of some over zealous bench racers. [/QUOTE]
