I think if anything, the current 5.0 GT is the closest thing there has been to the original 5.0 days. I bought mine just about as soon as they were available. It was a $28k car. That car has run 10.40s and still has a 100% untouched OEM longblock in it at 3400 lbs. I've done absolutely nothing to the trans except change the converter. Let me be clear, no nitrous/blower/turbo either. You can't even begin to match this kind of performance with a Camaro or Challenger without spending much much more. Yes you can run the price way up on a Mustang with options, but they don't have to be that way. I feel the current car is the best Mustang ever made, and Ford has a tall order measuring up to it with a new one.
