We can argue all day about what the OP may or may not now, but it is a perfectly reasonable interpretation to assume actually meant a new car, not a 2010.

I don't see why it would be unreasonable to think that it "could" be a 2010. The 2010-2012 body style is very similar to the 2013, and someone who doesn't know the subtle difference could mistake them.

Didn't say it wasn't. Just saying most people will assume 5.0 based on the information given.

Based on sales numbers, the odds are overwhelmingly in favor of it being a 5.0.

It could be a 4.6 or a 5.0. Both are reasonable conclusions. But I think the 5.0 is the more likely candidate based on the given information. Either way, both have a SRA... :stirthepot:

That's true. I just find the more pathetic case to be funnier.

I heard he hasn't even cleaned his carburetor since he bought it in 1964

I am looking forward to personally finding out where 4th gear winds out next month at a high speed track. I read 120+ in this thread.

6th is just an overdrive correct? Or where does 5th gear take a 370 to, without a limiter?

I got walked in one of these earlier

Not sure if I should push more boost to my Twin Turbos or if the Z can handle it.

When you're lined up against this, you should just admit defeat before the light turns green.

Wasn't this incarnation of the Mustang based on the Pinto?

I think that is correct. I believe 5th is our 1:1, but I am not certain on this. I say that because I stay perpetually annoyed with Nissan and how they gear cars.
