Don't care. Just as popularity doesn't automatically make something good (see: music) it also doesn't make something automatically bad.

If the Camaro or Mustang was really freaking awesome I wouldn't care if there were 100 on my street, I'd still buy one.

I think it's about perfect too. It feels big enough to be substantial but not so big that you can't toss it around pretty well.

The 5.0 is severely underrated in the handling dept IMO. A set of lowering springs and some sticky tires goes a long way on those cars, and power mods are cheap, widely varied, and give you big gains compared to our Z.

It doesn't handle as well as a Z but it's not as far off as people like to think. The difference is it's got WAAAYYY more power mod for mod.

I bought my Z partially because everyone has a Mustang and I had just crashed one.

I'm actually pretty excited about the S550.
