I know what you mean. I hate how some people just view their cars as the end all. Car racism, at its finest.

I like the black out, esp for your color car. What'd you use?

As far as GT/CS fascia, I like it too, plus Boss splitter. But I think for now, my mods are in GT500 plus MGW shifter. Maybe next year I will get the fascia. Stock will have to do for now. Why don't you like it?

Btw, so jelly of your color. stumbled across this on ebay...
I figured you're still on the fence about the axlebacks. It sounds like you may want more loud, so Roush might be way to go for you. If I get bored of my GT500's, I'll probably go Borlas. Since GT500's were only 250, I won't feel bad if I x those out some time in the future.

Thanks for props on the color! I fell in love with it when I saw it in person. It was either kona, black, or candy red. You ever see the movie DRIVE? Just came out (might still be in theaters) not too long ago. The one with Gosling. You will laugh, but that movie came out the time I was contemplating trading in the Z for the 5.0. That movie literally pushed me over the edge. The black 5.0 on there looked so hot. It was a simple stock 5.0 with Brembo I believe. That week, I traded it in.

But then I saw kona in person, boom, done, sold.

Love how beefy this paint is. Still looking clean.
So is this what you meant when you said the paint on the 5.0 is better than the Z?
