The best way I can discribe it is in an auto is:
Take a breath and let it out, you're now at 35
Take another, and before you let it out, you're at 60
another two breaths and you're passing 80
Its that fast, and you really dont know how fast you are going by the feel of the car or the sound of the engine, you actually have to go by the tach and speedo.

So true. My good friend bought a 5.0L manual w/ 3.55 and I felt the same way. Every gear rev's just as quick as the one before and you dont realize your going 90mph in that short of distance without all the drama of an older pony car that runs 12.8's
When we raced I fumbled a little on my 1-2 shift and he got a car length on me and I couldnt catch up until 100+mph. We were almost neck and neck through my 2nd and 3rd gear but when I grabed 4th was when I started reeling him in.
Its a nice car for sure but I like the way my GT500 feels even if they had the same whp. If you guys think the 5.0L is nice on the inside you should get behind the wheel of a 2010 GT500. It really feels like a different car. His 5.0L felt "mushy" in alot of placed like the suspension, tires, shifter, throttle vs my car.
