Test drove a 5.0 Today

So you are bashing Ford for improving their car too much and not being "fair" to the competition by giving their customers a better car?, really?

no. I am bashing ford cause If I bought a BRAND NEW GT in 2010 because it was the new and improved mustang gt and one year later for the same price and everything they come out with a gt thats a whole one hundred horses more and with better mpg's , better suspension, ETc. If you where in this position You wouldn't feel a little ripped off just a little? Especially since it's not like ford put out a MEMo saying Here's the 2010 BRAND NEW MUSTANG but wait.......you might wanna wait one year cause it's pretty much gonna be mechanically a totally diff car next year oh did i mention the extra 100 horses part? And as far as the competition goes i feel car makers have an unwritten law of not out doing each other too much for the sake of sale's which is the honest thing to do now chevy made it known way before the camaro came out what it was going to be and they did not change that they stuck with it they did not advertise a car one year...put it in show rooms.....sell it.....notice it was not as good as some of the competition and say wait hold on a sec never mind let me do a do over on the mustang????Basically I would not be bashing Ford if they never came out with that crap in 2010 and have came out with the 5.0 I dont think it was fair to their CUSTOMERS not to mention the competition. So to answer your question noim not mad at themf or making their car's too good i love stang's

Um, the 2010 Mustang was much improved over the 2009. Most of the handling improvements came out then. I think Ford put out the 5.0 as soon as it was finished testing for their customers. I just don't see how "fair" enters into it at all. It's like saying improving your product over time isn't "fair". To take that to it's logical conclusion, we should all be driving Model T's and no one should be able to improve their 100 meter time in a foot race.....it just wouldn't be "fair".
