Amen!

I remember seeing a dyno video somewhere of a 100% stock 11' 5.0 w/manual trans put down 390ish rwhp.

Ford may have underrated this 5.0 just like they underrated the 03/04 Cobra.

It was brought up after that they ran the car in 3rd gear instead of 4th on that dyno pull which resulted in a much higher dyno #

It's pretty cool to look back to see,and read on what is coming up at that time,then fast forward to the present,and voila.
Latetly i have been going threw some old Muscle Mustangs from '09 to '10,and it's funny to read all the hype,and rumors that were going on.
We are definitely in good times for the beloved mustang!

Anyway, Ford showed you non-believers

Yee have little faith.
