I'm confused. Can anyone explain what a "5 'o" means???

I thought it went: "Rollin'. In my five point o, with the ragtop down so my hair can blow."

Sorry but everyone is right, When people see police they state "5-0" it comes from Hawaii 5-0 which was made into a TV show.

the 5.0 is the latest iteration of the Great 302 Ford Motor that Ford has refined into one of the best American Small Block All Alluminum V8s.

Make no mistake, I got trashed at a race by a truck running this Engine, he came in first, I came in third. It was a Ford Lightning. Black with a mysterious driver that did not hang on for the trophy presentations.

Got beaten by a truck in my S2000. He has an unreal driver and may have cheated, no one checked.

IT is derived from the hawaii 5 0 show and is a reference to pigs, i mean police. Usually the Mustang is called the 5 point 0. So you can drink your eightball, and drive your six fo (4) slappin the pimps rollin up in a 5.0 till the 5 0 show up and you gots to jet!

It means police as in reference to the 70's TV cops and robbers show "Hawaii 5-0". BTW Jack Lord died recently, last year I think.
