Porsche not the only one
To trade on past glory days to sell...short advertising video.

The newest Five-Ohhh is bada$$, an opinion I don't share with the other iterations of the mustang over the last few years.
Porsche fans should be flattered too, the new 5.0 uses nearly identical wheels......

Motor trend already comparing the new 5.0 Mustang's performance specs with the BMW M3...
But, if price didn't enter in? That, and having to go to a big city for service? I'd still prefer the M-3... On the other hand, when the new 5.o's begin appearing, guess I'll have to toss rocks at my Bullitt...

Porsche may not be the only one, but there is no substitute!

It's weird that I care, but I totally dig the new 5.0 Mustang. I remember when my uncle had a 1990(?) 5.0 with automatic. What a piece of schit. 225 hp? Felt like a truck. Lumbered along and the auto shifted at 3k, and you couldn't make it go above 4500. He wondered why I liked Porsches

Okay, that Mustang ad is wimpy.
Here is a real "past glory days" ad.

In 1990 the Mustang LX 5 speed was one of the fastest q-mile cars available, even with just 225hp. |

I went to a NASCAR race in September. Yeah, OK? Let's move on. Anyhow, they were running a drift/autocross demo in the parking lot burning the tires of the '10 model. I didn't know they had changed it. I couldn't get it out of my mind for two weeks and went to est drive one. It was fun. I might need to test drive this one. A "5.0" reminds me of the old days.

Geez, y'all have issues... I don't care what emblem is on the hood. A great car is a great car. And Mustangs rock.
The only reason we don't own a Mustang? The passenger seat doesn't slide forward when you tilt the seat back. If you need to drop off more than one child at school each morning, you understand.

The more I read about the internals of the soon to be out 5.0, the more I think I bought too soon. My only reason for not trading in is aesthetics...I don't care for the body changes done beginning with the '10 models.
Maybe I should wait for somebody to wrap a 5.0 around a tree, then study the feasibility of a swap...engine, trans, and Brembos, please... I'm sorely tempted, but the trade would probably cost around $10K, and the Bullitt only has 3,300 miles on the clock.

Rob, perhaps a minivan is the better kid hauler...

I had a 5.0 years ago. Fun car. I imagine this one would be too. The downside is that it's still "just a rustang" though. 416 hp would be bags of fun even if it's just another rustang that looks like all the other ones out there...
I'd never buy a vehicle that sends even one dime of my money to the UAW though, so it's right out - at least insofar as buying one new.
