Engineers need to sell cars. Cars that have the most PEAK power sell. Look, that is what everyone on here is looking at. These 5.0's are so gutless down low and I just can't believe so many owners just don't care. And thats fine, but 95% of MY time on the street is between 2500-4500 rpm. Why is it so wrong to want that to be better. All my 4cyl turbo cars were more fun in this area. I will gladly give up a few HP from 6500 to 7500. I don't drive like an ahole revved to the moon all day long.If the Gen3 F150 manifold was worth while dont you think it would be on the Bullitt or Mach 1?
So an opposing point of view so people can make a INFORMED DECISION is a bad thing now ? Grow a pair buddy.To all those kool-aid drinkers out there who keep crapping in this thread, mind your own business. When you start paying my car payment for me then you can tell what to do with my car, otherwise I'll do what I want and I don't care what you think about it. If it bothers you that much then just stop reading this thread and just go away.
I definately did try the A10. Unfortunately I just wasnt that impressed other then flatout, which really was impressive. just was too much shifting back and forth for my backroads and such. Then for the highway to get the passing pull it needed more paddle shift downshifts then I would have thought i needed. No matter what transmission you need to keep the car in the revs to have fun. I do like that alot actually when I drive it hard, but for the rest of the driving time and not wanting to sound like an ass around my area, I would LOVE to have a short shift torque monster. I had the ecoboost and I do miss that low end pull. Sure don't miss the fall on your face at 5000 though.So save the 10 grand and buy an ecoboost Mustang then instead of a GT.
5.0s gutless downlow? LOL lemme guess youve never drove an A10 car.
