i prefer driving my 93 over my dads 00 GT. Sure the GT revs like crazy and is probably faster, but only if youre WOT in a low gear. if you punch it at 2000 rpm in third, the 5.0 will still dig down and pull pull pull. the 4.6 just makes more noise and eventually gets up to 3000, but by that point youre either mad at the stupid engine or happy because 3000-5000 is really strong in those cars. Regardless, so is the 5.0. Also, i have a steeda Tri Ax and SLP Loudmouths, whereas my dads car is stock. the shifter feels decent, but nowhere near as direct as the Tri Ax, and my oh my does the 5.0 make some sweet noises with loudmouths. Its just alot more engaging to drive. Its kind of weird, too, because my dads car would not only spank my 5.0 on a track (due firstly to the brakes, secondly to the higher revving engine) but its also a better daily driver. On paper, its a better car in every category, which is all people want out of new cars. Cars arent about driving anymore, fellas. The only thing people care about with new cars is gas mileage, track times, and price. Its all magazine racing. so when someone asks you why you chose a old POS 5.0 over a newer 4.6, you already know theyll never understand. Its the guys who come up and say "Hey thats a sweet car" that understand.
). I wouldn't mind a new bolt-on 5speed GT for a daily but I would still have my '90 when I need something to thrash on.
