Ford has done it again. The 5.0's will rule the streets one more time. The 80's/90's 5.0 was revolutionary for Ford. Parts became cheap and the aftermarket sold a bunch. Sounds like round two for the Mustang

The old 5 liters really were revolutionary, particularly considering the times they existed in. The fact that stodgy, staid, always-late-to-the-party Ford was building them was almost a miracle. They were the populist musclecar Ford wished they had in the 60's. We'll see if the new one can recreate the magic. The obvious difference is the price, but these may be fast enough that the high price tag is irrelevant.

Great article. Thanks for posting that.

My favorite part:

&quot;But this sixth-generation Mustang (depending on the way you count them) is a clean and simple design and the only Mustang iteration that's a complete stylistic break from the other generations (10 of them altogether, depending on the way you count them). There's no running horse in the grille, there's no C-shaped indentation along the flanks and the rear brake lights aren't in three segments. This is the only Mustang that is its own unique thing. And the GT came as a hatchback back when it was OK to be a hatchback.&quot;

Really, really like the new generation 'Stangs, but the Fox body style just never did it for me. I respect their place in musclecar history, but asthetically, the just didn't appeal to me.

But, I guess that's why there is chocolate and vanilla.

You'll never find a bigger Fox fan than me, but I'll be the first to admit that they aren't beautiful cars, at least not in the same way that a 66 Chevelle or a 68 Charger is beautiful. But to me, there isn't a more purposeful looking car on earth than a black LX coupe with a cowl hood and big n' little Draglites. Not pretty, but an icon, all the same.

Everybody has their favorites. Personally, I just love musclecars. New, old, GM, Mopar, Ford, whatever. I'd love to open my garage some day and see my notch sleeping next to a 69 COPO Camaro (black or Fathom Blue 4-speed) and a 69 Judge (Palladium Silver R/A IV) and a 65 L78 Biscayne and a 68 R/A II Firebird and 68 Road Runner and.... well, I better stop there or this'll be a long post.
