As more and more engines are getting uglier and uglier I must say that is one of the few good looking modern engines. I know it does have some plastic crap on it (and the intake tubes are plastic with metallic paint). Regardless, it's a good looking motor at a time when most motors look no better than the Mustang's V6 (a very not good looking motor!)

395 at the wheels.
I would say they are lying through their teeth about 412hp.

I'm pretty sure the intake color isn't paint but rather the color of the composite.
I'm not a Ford guy, nor a Mustang guy. That sounds dumb because I've owned three Mustangs, but in my defense I do find that Ford occasionally makes it hard to deny the deal they're offering you. Who else will sell you a RWD V8 in that light a package for that kind of money? And they make the car sound good off the dealer floor, as well as give you an engine that as you said you can look at as a thing of beauty rather than hide it away under plastic 'cuz it's ugly. And nobody has anything real bad to say about the handling?
I'm not saying the car is "light," just that it's a lot of power for the money, and for the money there isn't a lot of options that are better in the ways that count.

Jesus Christ. Dude, we don't give a shit about how excited Honda is with their airplanes, robots, lawnmowers, or solar powered butt plugs. We are bothered by the fact that their cars are increasingly disappointing from an enthusiast's point of view.
If I say that I hate Microsoft and think their products are shit and you happen to discover that Microsoft also turns out to make really good hot chocolate mix are you going to use that as the basis of your argument that I am somehow wrong about Microsoft's computer products?
We're talking cars, man.
