Nice to see a real V8 put in it. If only they could lighten up the car a bit it’d be awsome. Anyone have the curb weight on it yet?

Who cares. Variable valve timing is for gas mileage- when discussing Mustangs, any discussion of gas mileage is utterly irrelevant. The new 5.0 is awesome with or without variable valve timing. Ford can keep it or give it back to Honda for all I care.

My only complaint is the 4" of wheelgap. Bring that thing closer to the pavement, and you have perfection.

Seriously. 400+ naturally aspirated horsepower ('bout time Ford, thank you), a real 5.0L, the Mustang is a Mustang again. On top of it, the 2010+ models look awesome.
