However, every car has its + and - so I appreciate the honest opinions here.
Yes, not sure if you read my story about how I ended up with the 5.0. Let me find the link and post it here. But bottomline, a 20 minute testdrive of the new 5.0 did it for me. All prior misconceptions I had were just that, a misconception...ill advised. I was a believer after 20 minutes.

As far as Z tranny, yes that was my one big beef. I got tired of it being labeled as "normal". The rattling, the sound of marbles, etc..... The 5.0 tranny is smooth but not without faults. It was a little vague, though short shifting. The MGW I did resolved all that.

Let me know how your test drive goes. And yes I would have LOVED to keep both cars in the stable... but I could not, since I am not so financially inclined as you may be. But yes, you will have the best of both worlds!!!
