Where are all the new 5.0's? I've seen (3) to date and I live in So. Cal., so there are lots of new cars running around. I would think I would see one a day by now?!?

I asked the same thing. I ordered mine last May and had it delivered the end of July. I have only ever seen one other one. It's weird.

They are slowly showing up but I think It's the economy.
Back in the day even young people could afford a V8 Mustang,Camaro etc.

now you have 2011 GT's costing 35-40K if loaded so many people are opting for the V6 or a Import 4cyl turbo

I've had my car since July also and I've seen about 3 2011 GT's in almost 6mo

this is not including my friends because I have atleast 6 friends with 5.0's

I see mine everyday? :shrug:

I'm sure sure it's a price tag thing though...I see 2010's everywhere, but don't see many 2011's. In fact, I've only seen 2 others besides mine on the street..maybe they'll start showing up in the springtime. I know the local dealer has been selling the crap out of them, so they are out there.

Saw a black 'vert this morning. Looked like a base too, or it atleast had the 18" wheels. I've only seen one other 5.0 besides that one around here.

hell just in the Warner Robins area I've see several also a couple 2011 GT500's. The dealer in town here has at least 4-5 GT's on their lot at any time.

I think the comment about the price is more spot on. The demographic that likes purchasing these cars aren't necessarily in a financial situation to do so. SO what we have is a vette-like mentality, where rich older gents purchase the cars then put them in the garage to look pretty.

My '11 GT is certainly the most expensive Mustang I've ever purchased.

Not that this might be the case but I know a few of my buddies who have considered getting them but they really can't justify or i suppose spend 35-40K on a GT.

I've noticed at least 15 since they came out. I don't think they blend in w/3v's...I make a point to look at the badge. I see 4 V6's to every 1 GT. Not sure how in line that is with production numbers.
