Why still not so many 5.0's on road?

[65mph_Roll]

I think I've seen five, maybe six 5.0's on the road since they came out. Seems like they should be an everyday sight by now, like GT's. :shrug:

Ya I feel you. I live in the Detroit area so you would think I'd see a lot of them. I see a ton of camaros and challengers and chargers and a good amount of them are ss and hemi versions. I have only seen a few new 5.0 mustangs, some ones has to be buying them up because I have been trying to pick up a new 2012 base gt, brembo car for the last 2 weeks but I can't find one. Will find out Tuesday if my local dealer can get one they found at an out of state dealer and if not order me one.

Im not sure where you live, but i see at least 1 per day, and not always the same cars.

Here at ft campbell, ky all you see is 5.0s. I see maybe five of them everyday when I go to wal-mart. Seen a few roush editions also. Guess its do to being near a military base. Nothing but 5.0s over here

I have one of only a few that I see around town. I like it like that!

It's a good thing so there not like a civic where you see every joe smo around with one, so that being said..

I think price has alot to do with it, they say you can get a a gt for $29-$33k,but everyone @ my local dealer I look @ sticker/ msrp on them are in the 36-42k range, sorry but 40k for a gt is a ripoff little more you can buy a boss or a used shelby.

Which is why I think ive seen tons of 2010 gt's and regular base 2011+ 3.7 v6 cars and shelbys and boss and not 5.0 cars, people either cant afford the 5.0 so they get leftover gt or a base v6, or they are just spending a little more on a shelby or a boss.

They're all over the damn place here in Houston....

 

[H8SUGR]

I see them all the time, it is mostly convertibles though.

 

[scott_0]

I dont see as many as I figured to be seeing by now, there is one other in my town but thats it, of course I live in a town of about 4500-5000 people so I guess I can expect that lol

 

[65mph_Roll]

Thanks Guys - Glad to hear they are representing in other places, must just be a matter of time then. I’ve got a stock 04 Terminator (K&N FIPK only) and I think it would be a great run! I just can’t seem to find one!

 

[Grabber2012]

I've owned mine since September I never see other 5.0s everytime I roll up on one it's a V6,I've seen maybe a handful since buying mine and only 1 was grabber blue, I like being the odd color out personally I do see a shit ton of camaros though.

 

[Stormsigma]

Most of the current-style Stangs I see are V6 convertibles. I guess people go to the dealership and decide that a cloth-top is a better use of funds than a V8. It's not for me, but I guess I can understand.

Where are you at in the detroit area? I see tons of 5.0's haha, barely see any SS camaro's. I see Tons of dodges. Have you seen a kona blue 5.0 riding around without a front fascia on by any chance?

Im seeing more and more in the leigh valley

 

[dynasty_365]

All I see down here is v6 camaros' and v6 challengers. Rarely an ss or hemi. If it's a hemi it's an rt never an srt8. It's less than 10 5.0's in my area. Hell half of them r on this site lol. I like it that way though. My car is rare down here. People still ask me what it is or I usually get 'wow ford is putting 5.0's back in there now"

I can drive 4 miles and see 60 camaros' and I'm not exaggerating but then again the south is chevy country :-/

 

[kevinp]

I see them all the time around here, parked next to an '11 CS at Home Depot a couple days ago

Crapload of 10-up V6 'stangs around too..

 

[5spd07gt]

not many around here either that i've seen

 

[Bud]

I've seen 4 supercharged 5.0's at my local shop in for tuning/dyno in the past few months including mine. 1 procharger, 2 roushs, 1 whipple. Another one is slated for a 2.9 install. If there are that many at just one shop over a short period of time I have to assume a bunch of stockers are around too. Kind of sad my car was probably the fastest 5.0 run in the state last year, I sure won't be this year unless I do some more work to keep up.

 

[z28th1s]

Not that many in my area either!
