I haven't driven the new 5.0, but I had an '06 GT. The car wasn't perfect, but it was surprising well built. It was pretty solid and virtually rattle-free. It drove well too, the live rear axle was fairly well behaved. Of course, a live rear usually doesn't have an independent rear's sophisticated feel or performance over mid-corner bumps. In that respect, the Z is noticeably better, IMO.

I bet the new GT is a real nice car. I must admit, it's tempting...that 5.0 sounds real good.
