The nice thing about the old 4.9 is that it made the Mustang fun. Sure there were engines that you could wind it out, the 4.9 got you there just as fast if not faster and it all came down to shift points.
So what if it had the power delivery characteristics of a modern turbo diesel?

If I had $10-12K back in those days, I would have bought a 2 yr old used car that was formerly worth $15-18K. Such as an RX7, Taurus SHO, or a million other things more refined than a Mustang. Knowing what I know today, of course. Back when I was a kid, sure Mustangs "seemed" cool. Until you drove them and then compared them to other cars.
