I have a new found respect for what 190-200HP via a turbo can do.
I really wanted to get my mind blown by the Stang and fall in love with a new toy!
Oh well...sometimes reality is a b*tch

That was exactly my experience, and why I bought a newer V6 car as a daily driver. The 5.0 Coyote motor is a different animal entirely, but I made my choice based on lower cost and my intended use. The V6 just made sense for me. I do miss the sexy V8 sounds though!
