Only time will tell.
Maybe not, but you can spend that $20k difference in price to make the 5.0 outperform the C7.

(A) you don't know the price points yet

(B) don't start the mod-for-mod battles. We don't even know the limits of the bone stock vehicles yet, and then mod-for-mod takes it to another level.

I cannot wait for the C7 or next Mustang. Very excited to see what's about to come out.

Leave me alone! I'd expect price points to stay somewhat consistent with the current models. Don't expect like a $10k price swing for either one. Though I guess I should wait till full details are revealed for both cars

Meh.

It still won't touch it.

It may handle as well, but it will ride like a log wagon. It may accelerate as hard, but it will get crap for mileage or be quirky (melt pistons).

I'm over modifying OEM vehicles.

We won't know for sure until final details are revealed. I'm just getting started with modifying cars

I tried to like modified stuff, but beyond a catback, or shocks/struts, I just can't get into it. It "unbalances" the factory package unless you have a LOT of money to dedicate to the project.
