Test drove a 5.0 Today

I actually wonder....what kind of traffic do you guys have to justify a V8 torque monster? The Z itself feels like overdoing it here. a nice DD from my experience

The Z itself feels like overdoing it here.

a nice DD from my experience is a megane coupé

loved that car. nice room inside, nice trunk, nice MPG and a pretty good looking car.

but then again I would probably pick the megane coupe RS instead of the normal one.

Dont regret my decision one bit, especially when I hear that thunderous roar coming from the pipes when I floor it. In some aspects I miss my Z, in particular, its ridiculous good looks, but it had no torque whatsoever. My 5.0 liquifies tires at part throttle. Do it.

Well guys, add me to the list of those that defected from the Z to the 5.0. Just picked up my black 5.0 with premium package today. It was tough letting the Z go, but this thing is just a beast in every way. I'll try and get some pics up later.
