I agree, but think he should appreciate the car NA first. A new 5.0 has *****! Honestly, its comparable to a 4.6 with small blower. That's just my opinion though. I tend to "get used" to any power adders pretty quickly. Just seems like a good way to extend the overall enjoyment.

And so just a week and a half ago I got one! 2013 demo car which is a year old. Came from California. Brembo, Recaro, Premium, and a few other options I was going to skip. But the price on this used one with only 6k miles was less than the stripped model I was going to buy. This car has 3.73 gears and a good amount of power. But after riding motorcycles, I could use some more. A couple years from now after the warranty is up, I am pretty confident I will upgrade to a blower. Then as some have mentioned here, I will be able to truly appreciate the power.
