    There will always be somebody faster.

    Go with the 5.0. You can make it handle very well as people have said, and the motor has great potential.

    With the Honda, a motor swap is mandatory if you want to go fast, might wanna check the price of a motor swap and add that into the cost. All these guys are talking about their "fast" Hondas but all of them have motor swaps. Slap a 150 shot on the stang and you'll own most cars out there.

    i like both the 5.0L mustang is so much more simple to make modifications and have been modified for so long parts are every where and low in price 5.0 s love nitrous and can take a good amount of boost on stock motors. hell take a stock 5.0 do a cam swap good headers,rear gears, and good suspension upgrades and maybe a 100 shot for the strip and thats serious fun and will last you a good while. check out the turbomustang forums and see for yourself there are guys making big power with little cash spent and keepin it reliable and simple. on the other hand building a hatch that will smoke a built mustang or even hang with one is satisfying in its own way. i remeber blowing a few stangs away and T/A s in my old hatch.
    damn i want another hatch.....but i love the sound of a 5.0L ford with a nasty cam oh what to do....what will my next car be
    yes i am....
