im just saying it's not like his 05 is super powerful or anything. And its not like the '95 is going to get better gas mileage.

I've reserved a "Grabber" blue '10 from Budget. It's an auto of course, no 'vert this time I wanted that blue and they didn't have it for the wknd I wanted. $99.00 per day+insurance. I'll give you a "full" review when I get back. As you'll remember my car did very well pitted against the '05 vert Auto S197 GT. I'm certain the '10 will serve me my *** with the extra 15hp and gears. The only place I won with the '05 was right out of the pit with my torque and quick shifting. At the top of 3rd I was a rusty nail but that constitutes a streetrace as far as I'm concerned so shut that **** down. All the stock '10 auto needs is a torque converter adjustment. Colleages that own one still can't get a mouse to squeak when they hit the loud pedal. I'm looking forward to my time in The '10 GT, apparently it's THE best Mustang yet...

Well i have good money invested into the 05 and i dont want anything to happen to it. And i only paid 1000 cash for the 5.0 so if some thing happens it wont matter too much.
