I knew what I was getting going in, and it's a fantastic car. I didn't have to trade up when something faster came along.
Shado... you need to calm down bro. When did I ever state the Z was a $hitty car? When? Like every car, it has issues yes... but I LOVED my Z. I moved on not BECAUSE of the tranny or whatever else. I moved on because I NEEDED A BACK SEAT FOR MY SON (and my soon to be 2nd child). The fact that the 5.0 has (IMO) a better tranny than the Z, is a BONUS. Do I feel the 5.0 is a BETTER car than the Z? In some respects, yes. In some respects, no (for example, looks... Z is better IMO). But no, I didn't trade up because I needed a faster car. And even if I DID, so what? Why is that a bad thing?

I don't get your rant. You love your car, and it's perfect for you, great. But just know that it's not perfect for EVERYbody, and we're free to express our opinions.

The constant digs on the Z are usually over unimportant sh*t or issues that have been addressed or things that only effect people tracking the car. To hear you guys tell it, the Z is basically the worst production vehicle in the world.
NONE of us, (Dan, Steve, etc) EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER stated this. Please don't put words in our mouths. In fact, we give credit when credit is due. I loved my Z for when I owned it. But for now, I feel the 5.0 suits my liking more. You interpret things WAY out of proportion bro. Calm down.
