Verdad Gallardo your right they aren't, like i said geared toward the 16 yr. old female population and guys in midlife crisis' that don't know **** about cars. 
but on a serious note, i know they had those changable guage colors is that contributing to that issue?

I myself, am a reformed 5.0 guy. I never had one in the 11's, but had several clean 'vert's and coupes than ran pretty well. When I acquired my SS a year ago, I found what I'd been missing!
Along the lines of the "new" Mustang, I heard of some issues with the new drive-by-wire throttle bodies. A friend has one, and Ford can't figure out what it's doing. He's had it in several times, and still having probs.

I can relate...I just sold my '02 GT 'vert that was pretty badass looking, but it just didn't go. Now I am pleased to have a badass looking car that goes! 1999 SS M6 with 11K miles will be here Friday! I can't sleep

i dont think i actually got the chance to say........
Welcome 
I cant say im an ex 5.0 guy since i still love them, but since ive tested or ran like every damn intake, head, cam combo on a small ford i was wanting something new.........and since as you said Ford has not had anything since the fox that impressed me, hello LS1. Oh yeah and i have noticed how much nicer the F-body crowd is compared to the "mustang crowd(99 and up cars)" They can be real dicks.
