Thinking about upgrading to a '05 MCS hardtop
Hello, newbie here:
I currently own a '04 MCS with 16,800 miles on the clock, but recently I have been tinkering with the idea of selling it and ordering a new '05 MCS replacement.
I am attracted to the added power, improved supercharger and revised gear ratios. Also the LSD is another interesting option. Some of the cosmetics I like, others I don't care too much about but in all and all the '05 seems to be an even nicer package than the '04s.
I have not yet driven the '05 MCS but would like to get some feedback from those who have and specially from those of you who have move from either a '03-'04 MCS to a new '05.
Worth it? Not a good idea? Suggestions?
I am trying to decide what to do next.

Less then 1 week ago i traded my 02' MCS for a 05' MCS, and I love my new one. I really liked my 02' but with new gear ratios i really like the way this one goes. I put about 25 extra horsepower in my 02' and my new 05' stock feels like it has nearly the same pull. I put the aero grille on my new one and today i ordered an amp, now its on to the engine...
