Dan, thanks for chatting with me today on the phone. Great talking/meeting you. I appreciate your honest feedback regarding the Z and 5.0. For those of you that don't know, I am seriously contemplating trading in my Z for the 5.0. My primary reason is the back seat for my kid/soon to be kids. This way, I get to drive both my wife and my son at the same time, and not having to leave one or the other.

Secondary reasons are torque and power, obviously. Then thirdly, the engine revs smoothly to redline on the 5.0 and the transmission slop/rattling/etc is smooth and more quiet compared to opposites on the Z...

I love my Z, but I feel the 5.0 might better suit where I am right now...

Dan, did I summarize?

edit: add to the fact I am getting a killer deal on my trade in and OTD price on a new 2012 5.0.
