The 5.0's are catching up....

Don't take too seriously
Not many 5.0 cars that I've seen
I haven't ran across one yet. Let alone a 500rw n/a one
I hope thr success of the 5.0

My point exactly. If I were to take on every clown that wants to race me on the street, chances are, I wouldn't have a license.
Just because a person buys a performance car doesn't mean that they're going to race it. I'm sure it is only a small percentage of folks who buy these cars that actually modify, or race them.
I think Ford hit the ball out of the park with the new 5.0. It really does seem to be a complete package. Handling, acceleration, and room for improvement.
If you look at the direction car manufacturers going in, be happy that we still have a genuine performance war going on...it isn't going to last.
FWIW, I've seen far more 5.0s at the track than new camaros but the times haven't even been close. The mustangs have been way faster.

Theres a difference between having *****, and being smart enough not to throw your life away. IF I do race someone out of the track(these are friendly matches btw), I make sure its on an empty area, mostly Industrial areas. or just save it for the track, I know plenty of guys who are packing it under the hood but dont want to throw it all away because of some moron revving his engine at a light

I'm an idiot for trying to see what the new 5.0 has. You sound like a retard that shouldn't own a sports car. You could sit in your honda and watch the nice cars go real slow if thats what you like but thats not why I bought my Camaro!
