If you want rumpy,bumpy,sqeeky,creeky,old technology get a 5.0ld.
If you want smooth acceleration,refined handling,way better looks,and technology that is not from the 60sor70s than get a 96-98gt slap some 2001 heads on it for around 2500 and go low 13s,high 12s,put a little NOS and goes low 12s or 11s with a smooth idle,stiffer chassis,better seats,quieter ride and kill most 5.0lds on the street.Now the track is diff.those 5.0lds have has a long time too perfect combos the 4.6l is an infant in that stage of the game,but in another 1-2yrs that will change there should be lots of cams to chose from turbo kits,an intake or two.Alot of manufactures are going full on with the 4.6s and will have lines out in short order.How many 5.0lds have 271rwhp/302rwtq and still have a stock intake and cams.I might be strkin my 4.6l then well see what the little 4.6 I mean 5.? will put down.
