Even though I don't own a 5.0 or 4.6 liter Mustang, I have always respected the heritage and the power one can get from these All-American Pony cars via after-market parts. I have subscribed to 5.0 Mustang magazine in the past, but now I usually just pick them up at used book stores, or at garage sales.
Mustang 5.0 is a magazine that focus' mainly on souped up 5.0 and 4.6 V8 powered Ford Mustangs; 5.8 liter V8, 2.3 liter 4-cylinder, and 3.8 liter V6 powered Mustangs are also included in some issues of this magazine. 5.0 magazine is about 140-150 pages long, and is issued monthly to your home with a subscription, or can be purchased at most grocery, or liquor stores.
When you first open up Mustang 5.0 magazine you can bet the farm that the first few pages are going to be after-market Ads for the Mustang. After the first few pages of modification advertisements, you get right into the good stuff; the articles, reader input, and reviews.
Articles/reviews: Mustang 5.0 magazine offers a lavish supply of in-depth reviews and articles on Mustang enthusiasts' souped up and custom built Mustangs. Many of the articles don't focus on just performance, the reviews also go deep inside the cockpit of these cars where info on the owners sound system, paint job, etc can be found. The Reviews are excellent, and are always 'top notch'. Many reviews are very personal, the reader get's to know the owners name, where they are from, how he or she customized their Mustang, and how quick their Mustang will run 0-60, 1/4th etc. This magazine also dedicates a big portion of its articles to race modifications, info on how to order and install the parts, and the horse power gain you will get from the modifications. Many readers also like this magazine for the constant updates you receive on the fastest Mustangs out there. Racing information is one of this magazines's best attributes.
Photography: Mustang 5.0 magazine's photography is not really this magazine's strong point. The photographs are usually small, blurry, or even black and white. Although I like the nostalgia of black and white photos, this black and white theme doesn't go too well when looking at a car. There are some good pictures, but this magazine could improve a great deal in their photography department.
Advertisements: Mustang 5.0 magazine does boast quite a few Ads, but most Ads in this magazine are related to the Mustang 5.0. You won't find any shampoo Ads, or cat food Ads so often found in other car magazines, i.e Motor Trend. In a recent issue I counted 81 pages of Ads, although this is a little over 50% of the whole magazine, 99-100% of the Ads are for ordering Mustang parts and accessories, so it's not really as bad as it seems. Many of the Ads are actually quite interesting to read, and are very helpful.
Pricing: For a single issue of Mustang 5.0 magazine you can expect to pay $3.99 per issue. Mustang 5.0 magazine has a great deal via subscription where they will offer 1 year for $11.97, and 2 years for just $14.97. You can either pay when you order, or have them bill you.
Conclusion: This Magazine is an excellent source of car info, especially if you own a 5.0 or 4.6 powered Mustang or plan on modifying your Mustang. The recommendation doesn't stop there, I also feel anyone who loves Mustangs would enjoy this magazine. Import racers could benefit from this magazine as well, it's always nice to know where the competition stands.
