Thanks, dude. I will. But I don't think I agree that the 5.0 feels like the 4.6. I did get to drive one, and it's deceptively fast. It doesn't feel as fast as it is, but it definitely feels faster than a stock 4.6 to me. This GT500 is in a whole other league of fast. If you do more than breath on the throttle, you'll be breaking 80MPH and not even know it. One hundred comes up in know time with the redline nowhere in site, it seems. One thing's for sure, this thing will be undriveable on icy roads. Good thing I have the option of working from home.

Can't help to wonder... What's your car worth in 3 years you think? LOL.
Oh, and does A/C came with your $85K house?
You're killing me dude.
I forgot... Congrats OP.

I'd like to know that, too!! I like my house, but I'm not married to it. If I could find a place with a cost of living that low and still keep my same job and salary, I'd be gone! Around here, I wouldn't want to drive through a neighborhood of $74K -$85K homes, much less live in one. 
@rpietro, I turned 39.

i remember early on some people saying the 4.6 didn't subjectively feel as fast as the numbers...

@timothyrw,
LOL! I don't have any plans to change the wheels. Sorry.
On another note, I remembered somebody asked for pics of the Gurney flap. Sorry about the tiny size, btw. I didn't want to take out the DSLR so I just took them all w/ my cell phone.
