5.0 or 4.6?

[Mr 5 0]

50DAVIDLX:

I wouldn't be in a rush to trade my 5.0, but if you do, get a Cobra or a 99-up GT.

As Mercury stated, if you can afford one, the '99-up GT's are much improved and would be worth a trade, although you'll still want to change the rear gears and do a few small mods to improve it even more.

The SN95 Mustang's ergonomics and handling are noticeably superior to the Fox-bodied 'Stangs. They also cost a lot more to buy but you get more. The 4.6 is a more complicated engine and aftermarket parts are usually expensive and somewhat scarce - but that's changing.

While I love my 5.0 and I'll be driving it awhile longer, sooner or later, we'll all be driving 4.6 Mustangs (well, most of us) so we might as well get used to the idea and if you don't trade up now, you probably will in the near future.
