My bad.

Then how come the 5.0 isnt being compared to the L99 or the LS3?

As far as the glass roof - not for me either. It's just more-or-less a gimic, IMO. It's all fun and games until it's +110* outside; does that thing even have a sunshade?

yes it has a sun shade. It might be a lil "gimmicky" but i think its a nice unique option you dont see everyday.

Plus it makes the entire top of the car easy as heck to make perfectly clean and shiny...Spray some windex, wipe off, and that's waaay easier than the polishing/waxing process

I mean like.... why isnt the LS3 doing a drag race with a 5.0 on Motor Trend?

You're absolutely right; you don't see that every day. I do like the stripes, though; I think that's pretty cool. I think the GT needed that gimic before the 5.0 came along, but that's just me

+1 I have only notice the 5.0 is being compared to L99/LS3

Why would people involved in a pissing match about performance #'s want a glass roof or a sunroof?

You're adding a bunch of worthless weight and raising your center of gravity...

don't the L99's start off in 2nd if you don't manually shift them down to 1st? I thought I had read something like that... maybe I'm making that up.

That's why personal seat of the pants feelings are subjective, and measured testing is objective.

The stick shift is always gonna "feel" faster even though it may not be. It's just the nature of the car. It's a completely different feeling.
