And guess what else, all the guys currently buying 5.0s are probably in for what you call buyers remorse in a few years when Ford drops the next biggest and baddest on us. That's the nature of the beast. I have no regrets about buying my '10, and if I could do it all over again except the availability of a 5.0 was an option, I'd still go with the '10 because as I stated, I can close that gap in performance much more reasonably with the '10 and the money I didn't spend on financing and dealer markup for the '11. I am happy with my car, it is a solid foundation for future modifications and improvements, and already has more than enough get up and go for my neck of the woods. That is the point I was trying to make to Lint, that if he has designs of turning his car into a super performer, he was going to find disappointment, so why not wait on that until the time is right and he has a better canvas on which to paint his version of a masterpiece. If all he wants is to look cool, well, then that thing could have a motor by Briggs and Stratton under the hood and he'd still be happy. He tipped it off that he wanted more performance when he started talking about dual exhaust and cold air intakes and how much he loved the handling improvement that came with his new tires. Those are performance mods. And we all know where that goes. UDPs,
suspension, tune, throttle body, etc...and when it's all said and done he will have spent the same amount of money in mods as he could have to buy a GT but that little V6 in the middle of it all will be hamstringing him from getting where he was trying to go. We all say "oh yeah, just rims, that's it" and as people already started saying "well, now it needs to be lowered." How is that any different than "now it needs a bigger motor, but swapping is a bitch, so why not hold off and get that better starting point IF that is what you want." I personally am not into the looks-only department, because most of the time those looks are all about looking fast, which a V6 isn't, ergo you are posing. And I have no respect for posers because I have worked to damn hard to be the real thing only to let some poser come along and try to act like he can hang. Like I said, it's those posers who over drive their cars, piss the general public off, and then the fallout of "mustang guys are A-holes" because of what he did falls onto responsible owners like myself and most of the guys on here.
