The 5.0 has a broader powerband, so after a shift it is in or near the powerband. This is for 6 speeds, on the 8 speeds the shift RPM drop is less, that is why the A8 is faster than the M6 on the 6th gen Camaro.

Live axle is also a huge advantage.

I have a 2014 Mustang 5.0 along side my Camaro V6, both cars are fun to drive.
