If the 5 has larger seats with more interior room to stretch out then it will be in my garage.
If the Blackwing deal fails to happen then most likely I'll pick up a Hellcat widebody Challenger

PS: I would sell my 2020 A10 with PDR, NAV, and carbon fiber hood insert with 4,000 miles on it for $69,000 today!
Plus the front end is covered with Xpel and car has new Michelins PS4's on it.
Hmmm, I find this statement odd: very little performance difference? 472 hp twin turbo V6 vs 668 hp supercharged LT4 V8. If you're basing that statement on the traction limited 0-60 times (claimed 3.4 vs 3.8 sec), then you're likely not seeing the entire picture. Once they are tested we'll probably see a very low 12 sec @ 118-119 mph car vs. a mid 11 sec car @ 125-126 mph. The 60-130 mph time of the CT5 Blackwing will also be at least 2 seconds faster than the CT4 Blackwing as well. We're talking about the difference between a ZL1 or Hellcat compared to an A10 Mustang GT in a straight line. Stock for stock, an A10 GT easily gets walked by a ZL1 or Hellcat.

"Very little" difference to me is 1-2 mph and 2 tenths in the 1/4 mile.

I get that you have to pay to play, though; for some, it may not be worth it.
