So the new GT500 is sick and I decided to get one but while I was shopping I kept checking out the new 5.0s and came to the conclusion that the GT500 isn't 20k better than the Mustang GT anymore. I know the GT500 has TONS more potential but I don't need 750 hp nor plan on putting race seats and a cage in this car (so 11.50 is the ceiling). So I swapped the 427R for a 5.0 w/a manual, 3.73's, and Brembos. It is by far the best (of 5) new Mustangs I've ever driven off the lot.
