I was looking for 370 recently and was told my its former owner to m4a1 to look at the 5.0. I did because well 426hp (i think) is pretty attractive and the insurance rates were much lower than a C6 Corvette. Great drivers car but interior does suck the vette that is.
The 5.0 was a good car I just personally didnt like how I sat in it. Also I felt the 370s handling was a bit more refined. While one might be faster on the track I would think the 370 would be easier to get that speed out of. And last the 370s interior won me over. I love how it sits and how the whole dash is set up. And lets face it the interior is where we spend most of our time.
Except the time I spend looking out the window at work looking at my 370. I liked the looks of the 370 better.
Like most people said YOU have to drive both and see how YOU feel. You have a lot more to worry about than I did (ie kids family) I would also suggest finding a good sport sedan or something instead.
if you can stand it a BMW 335i sedan isnt a terrible choice. I drove a couple year old ones. 09s should be coming off leases soon. Add about a $600 programmer and you can be pushing 400hp. and no one can say a BMW doesnt drive well.
Just my thoughts
