Negatory.? ? Take a 10 grand bath to get 35 more horsepower in the exact same car, which already rips off a mid-13 quarter mile??

Not worth it until the refresh comes around.

I think I will hang on to mine too, but I like new gadgets and have actually considered it.

The small differences can't be worth the huge hit you'd take to "upgrade."

along the same lines... if you just decided on the 545, would you order one now for maybe 3% or so above invoice... or

would you wait a little longer, and pay probably closer to 8% above invoice for the newer 545/550?
