So I've fallen in love with a new vehicle. It happens to be a 2011 Mustang GT 6-speed. I love my truck but the return of the 5.0 has made me 90% certain I'm going to go through with it.

 

[MaylonTRD]

ok.... Thanks for the heads up.



Seriously though the only time I bought a car I hated it until I was in a truck again. But thats just me. It is a smart move for Ford to bring back the 5.0.

 

[Mr. Creosote]

Completely understand your decision brother....drop in and chat from time to time....let us know how you like the 5.0 :nod:

I'd hate to give up the truck, but I DID tell my wife today that once her Pilot is paid off (next year hopefully) we're buying a new Mustang 5.0L But, she says I can't knock her up any more, since it's only a 4-seater...:tu:

It's a nice car - have fun & post pic if/when u get it

 

[JOCKTHEGLIDE]

same situation here the crewmax suited us for the 3 kiddies and SO, but I had to have front bench for that just in case later in life moment to seat 6 so this truck better last me to 200k miles...at least. If my little honda 93 accord can do this tundra better do it.

Wow I only have one child and it can be overwhelming sometimes!! I can't imagine having three and thinking about a 4th!!!

 

[PowerHogger]

Dont blaime you at all for that decision, that 5.0 is a BEAST

 

[slush]

My truck will be paid off in the next year. I have my sight set on a new 5.0L mustang in the not too distant future.

Love the new Mustang. I seen a review over the weekend and they got a 4.7 sec 0-60 out of it!! They need to put that motor in their truck!! Could you imagine if they used the same engine design and made a 5.7 liter with it? That would be a 500hp beast. Good job Ford for getting back in the game. If it wasn't for such a weak engine in the F-150 I probably would've bought one when I was truck shopping. I just couldn't get over the power of the Tundra. I was always a Ford truck guy prior to my Tundra.

 

[SE2000]

Is the 5.0 just a punched out 4.6? So it is not really returning. At least it is a real 5 litre, unlike the fake hemi's.

I heard even the base stangs are going to have over 300 ponies available

Hey Tuscon... The 4.7 ZERO-TO-60 was for the previous 4.6L GT's --- the new 5.0L is doing 4.3 seconds (according to MotorTrend).

I am not talking anymore but just waiting for the 5.0 to be put in the F150 to see how it performs. Then give it 3 years to prove itself.
I never had a concern with my previous F 150 in 200,000 miles is all I can say on a TUNDRA forum.

5.0 is a really good displacement for a mid to lightweight vehicle. Don't think you'd get the wow factor in a heavy f150.
I had lots of the old 302's in mustangs and torinos and they were great, put it into a pickup or an ltd and it dogged.
Anybody ever compare a 4.6 in a mustang versus a crown vic cop car?

LOL - I have! And, you're right...weight plays a big factor. Although, I had the 302 with a 4-speed stick in my '86 Bronco 4x4, and it was a fantastic engine...more than enough for that truck.

The COyote motor is BADDD

Rumors say they'll put it in the F150, but IMO they'll detune it a bit for more low end torque and a few less ponies.

Here's a pic of teh 'stang.

11.82 at 118 mph.

Tough to tow a boat or carry home 4X8 sheets of plywood with a Mustang, but each to his own.

 

[Dim Sum]

5.0 in the Mustang will be sweet.

5.0 in the F-150 will be a dog. Heck, the 6.2 is a dog in the Raptor and it gets piss poor mileage.


5.7 is still a better motor than Ford's offerings in pickups, but the Mustang is sweet.

Hey RS what did they do to that mustang other than the skinnies/slicks?

 

[dogstate]

I'm not sure, but check out Evolution Performance's webpage or FB page.

I've wanted a Mustang since I was 8 years old and saw the new '64 Stangs. My Tundra is a full on keeper, but I'm gettin' a 2011 6 speed stick GT to go with it. It's time to scratch that itch.
