You gotta be "cool as ice" to drive a 5.0. When I heard the new 5.0 was comin out I was hoping for a pushrod engine again, not a 4.6 liter with .4L more displacement. There was a light blue brand new GT at the drag strip last week with a 32valve 5.0 in it. I'm not sure what it ran though. I think it was with American Muscle magazine or something cause it had photographers following it and magazine stickers on it.

The new 5.0 on the other hand appears to be made to actually go fast and not suck. It's about as different from a 4.6 as a LSX is from a 305 TBI. Similar displacement to a point, but in the end vastly different.
Count me excited to see what the 5.0 can do. With 4 cams, 5L, provisions for DI, etc, it better be pretty ******* sweet.

The 4.6 is a pile of ****. Its the weakest 4.6Lish engine I have seen in recent memory. The only time it was ever woth a damn in NA form was in the Machs and the 3V applications, and even then it was basically outgunned by damn near anything mentionable from GM.

The 2v is a pile of ****.

The video that I posted is Landon's car(MX5.7). That thing is wicked fast. I'd be nearly a full second faster at his altitude, but I'm hoping to be running mid 12s on street tires at Bandimere this summer.
