For that matter...anyone who hasn't driven one of the newer 5.0 Coyote cars really needs to immediately!

That engine is amazing. I've been considering picking up an '11 or '12 for a DD.

Yeah the 5.0 is great!
For me, the s197 seats are its downfall. Hard, no comfort, and zero support! But the 2015's are much better!

I'd love to do a Coyote swap on my coupe.

A couple months ago I test drove a Premium Automatic (played with the "Flappy Paddles"), I thought it drove fine. The interior is unbelievable (coming from a 2000 GT). It was quiet, except for the exhaust burble. The handling was very good. It did drive like a heavy car. Love the motor. All I can say about the brakes is WOW! I have a BMW Z4 3.0i that stops from 60 in under 110 feet and the new Mustang stops like someone threw out an anchor!! I fully intended to get a 2015 until I looked at the price....yikes! 42K+

I may just keep my car for a while longer and get a BMW X3 to haul the grand kids in and get a used 2015-16 down the road (if they turn out to be good cars).
