Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

They would just say that's the Roadrunner motor and not a Coyote. It's the 5.0 that sucks blah blah blah. The Boss is cool because it's limited production numbers blah blah blah..

What's a roadrunner? I know what an actual roadrunner is, so save that pic for later.

That's what the motor in the Boss is called by the factory.

I thought it was a Looney Toons joke.

No, they really officially called the standard Mustang-spec 5.0 the Coyote, and the Boss-spec 5.0 the Road Runner. The GT500's 5.8 is called the Trinity.

Coyote: http://www.mustang50magazine.com/tec...e/viewall.html

Road Runner: http://www.mustang50magazine.com/tec...2/viewall.html

Trinity: http://www.mustang50magazine.com/tec...8/viewall.html

The joke was actually on us 5.0 owners when we were given the glass motors/manuals transmissions while the rest of Stangers got a much better motor! lmao.

The motor is far from glass and far from slow. Especially considering the huge horse power leap they made just from the previous year model. I think too the Coyotes have proved to be able to handle a good amount of extra power as well.

The Terminator motor is in a league of its own. I don't even think its comparable to compare the Terminator the the Coyote, rather best to compare the Roadrunner to the Terminator, in that case they are on even planes.
