Got mine too

[TT5.0ca]

pretty loaded, leather, tech pack, brakes, gear, Candy red Metallic,

etc. I've finally wanted a new Mustang again after the dark years when it was equipped with that paperweight 4.6.

it's kinda dirty from the rain but, here it is anyway.

Congratulations on your new car. Its looks awesome and I hope you enjoy it. It is great to see the 5.0 on the side of a mustang again, but that is no reason to insult every V8 mustang built since 1996 and by association those us who own them.

They drive sick, dont they!?

Apologies to any I have offended. I really have never liked how the 4.6 drove or it's power level but, that's just an opinion and not intended as an insult to anyone who likes it.

This is my 4th "5.0", if you will. First a '68 coupe, second a '79 Ghia TRX notch, third an '88 LX hatch that took every power adder I could throw at it, now this one. I like 'em, I guess.

Here's the charcoal interior and a washed car shot the Candy Red metallic is not a loud red and it really pops. Plus it's pretty rare as well.

Gorgeous car man, treat her well!

 

[TT5.0ca]

So you didn't even like the '05-10 4.6? Hell I think mine runs pretty damn good. 300 hp stock is nothing to sneeze at!

It's the 300/3600 lbs of weight that killed it for me. There's a big difference between 12 pounds per hp and about 8.7 for the 5.0. My last car, a Mazdaspeed 3 with minor mods, hit ~10.5 lbs/hp and that wasn't enough, eventually...or maybe it was the wrong wheel drive, lol

Hotchahaa! That thing's gorgeous. Congratulations!

Id like to think of it was 10.5lbs per torque XD
