Wait until Spring when they have an automatic + Brembo package that you can drive.

That's what I'm gonna do. I have seriously been thinking about trading/selling the Z next fall once I start working. I've been thinking about either a 5.0 or an Evo X. Only problem is that I know I will end up losing money doing it and I'd rather use that money on the house or save it for my next car (GT-R).

Blades, didn't know you were interested in a 5.0 too. You and Lemers should look at the 2013 Shelby... specs are out now. 650hp. End of story.

Btw, my 5.0 arrived yesterday, and drove it today already. Best car decision I made to date.

Steve, Dan, see my thread in "other" forum for pics... feel free to respond! Here's a teaser pic

I've been interested in it ever since Steve took me for a ride in his

I kinda want one but I doubt it will happen. Only chance would be some urgent need to get a 4 seater, otherwise my parents would be sooooo pissed if I get rid of the Z so soon. I mostly just want to drive it to see how it is. I've never driven a car with a V8 before.

Car looks great BTW

So funny blades... that's my EXACT situation... or was, I mean. Not sure if you remember, but all it took for me was 20 minutes of test driving the 5.0. I came out going, where do I sign?

Also, I only did the deal because I got for my Z what I paid for it in the first place...

5.0. All GT500s have the Brembos standard.
