who here has previously owned a cobra (or mustang)...?

I agree about the Ford diesel issues. I was a big fan of the 7.3 but after that, it has been a disappointment. Given that the 5.0 is new from the pan up and only a few bolts are common between it and the 4.6, could lead to buyer's issues. It will be interesting to see what the engine does as they hit the market and get thousands of miles on them. I am sure we will see some comparisons between the new 5.0 Mustang and the 370Z in a couple of months. They were close with the 4.6 so may be interesting to see how both stock cars compare. The new 5.0 is said to have better handling with stiffer bars and sticky summer tires but the stock shocks have always left much to be desired. Anyway, will be interesting to see if the competition helps both cars in years to come...The Z is hard to beat for the price. Not a Cayman but for the price, it shines....
