AH OH !!! GOT Another One.....

My #4 5th gen this year. Sold the RJT V6 1LT and bought a cherry 2011 Blue 2SS Convertible and brought it home. I love that color. Now I've got the 2011 Black 2SS/RS Coupe and the Blue 2SS Convertible in the garage. Going back down to Chapman tomorrow for some tweaks. Have to re-order my AAC goodies since they really wanted them to stay with the car - made them pay up for them. Can't wait to get the vert set up the way i want it.

Going to Barrett Jackson this week, maybe Saturday and Monday. Any else? Going up to check out the polishes as and such more than anything this time around.

I also want two, but I figured that I'd rather wait for the 6th, which hopefully will be just as great as the 5th.

So many people moving from V6 to V8. Is the V6 really that slow or the V8 is just so much better?

V6 is not slow. I love the hell out of mine.

But the V8 is faster.

Humans tend to love more power, V8 has more of it.

Simple as that.

Why do some people here think that there is an over-abundance of owners moving from V6 to V8? Its common with these types of cars, and the people who do so want others to know the move they just made, so they post it here.

Ah hah! I heard of them. Checking out the Tempe town area maybe Saturday the 14th for a spin. There's a few shops down there I'd like to swing the car by to see what they think. I'm trying to get Adams to use the blue one for their clinic Saturday the 21st....my 50th birthday! We'll see how that goes. Would be cool though, this finish is so screwed up right off the lot.
