Do you have any mods?
MGW Gen 2 and lower crank pulley and CAI to get both of your wants.
Nothing screams like a stock pullied Eaton, but the TVS still sings and is WAY more efficient doing it.

MGW G2 I have had sitting in a box for over a year not installed lol. On the intake side I have the Ford res delete, not pullied.

Can you take a pic of the Gen2? I have had an MGW with all three handles for a while now, and I'm not sure which I have. I'm not 100% what the differences are.

What's worse; I'm only 20 minutes away from George and MGW

If you have any part of the original shifter in your car, thats the Gen 1 MGW. The Gen 2 is a complete, stand alone unit. Its quite a work of art if you ask me.

Ive never owned a Terminator, but the whine of the stock blower in infectious!

I own both cars. Each are special in there own right. The GT5 is more comfortable for me to drive then the cobra. But the cobra gets more compliments and looks then the Shelby. In all truth I think I'm going to sell the Shelby and move on to a hellcat or a gen 5 viper. Anyone on here 6'2" and over 270lbs? My only concern on the viper is they Are small.

Back he the OP here. I understand 100% what you mean about the terminator cobras. However the trinity is just more car all around. From
Inside to outside to under the hood. Now hear me out... I would consider a little more for a NON 13-14 gt500 but the trinity is just more. All there is to it

Found this Low mileage barn find. 1991 with 50,000 original miles gray leather black exterior five-speed. Bought it for $5000 and planned on selling the GT500 to build another fox body. After driving the fox body home from the sale I forgot how much of an under powered canoe those cars were. Couldn’t bring myself to sell the Shelby so flipped the 5.0 for a cool 5K profit for one weeks worth of polishing. Hard to get rid of the Shelbys with the amount of power they make and how nice to handle.

wow I stopped getting alerts on this post and didn't realize so many people responded to it. You guys are making it hard to make up my mind. Maybe I do need to mod the 13. I'm just scared of blowing a such an expensive motor

Basic mods, respect rev limiter and octane and I’d call it low risk under 800rwhp

I have my 13 gt500 and my 03 anniversary cobra I bought new. the cobra has 13,500 miles as of today. it is my 2nd new car (04 mach1 was my first NEW car purchase) and love to take her out and hear the whipple scream once and awhile. I couldn't think of selling it. Like others said just add to the stable when you can. Don't choose because you will regret it. GL

but as I age the terminator just isn’t comfortable for me. Sent from my iPhone using svtperformance.com

My post for the day;

This is my issue to. Tall, broad shoulders, busted up knees, retired infantry and the Shelby just felt so much better inside, like my F150. But the Terminator has unique aesthetics the Shelby just can't pull off. Polished catback, 18x11's with 315's on the rear make the Terminator ass look unique.

Either car is very rewarding for me but the interior of the Shelby gets the thumbs up.

One issue and asking if anyone knows, why is the passanger seat not height adjustable? All that money and Ford never thought of putting in an adjustment so my wife can sit and see OVER the fkn dashboard

The recarros in my 14 have height adjustment, can't speak for the factory seats

That is one of the disappointments I had when I ordered my 14 with standard seats. One of the items I wanted was the power base for the driver but it would have been nice if Ford would have done it on the passenger side as well. At least both seats are heated.

Tom is it possible to swap in power driver bases on the passenger side? Did any s197 ever have power passenger seats?
I think the S550 seats are compatible too.
Just thinking out loud.

In addition to my 2014 Shelby convertible, I also have a nicely optioned 2014 V6 Mustang convertible. It does have a power passenger seat. So they could have offered it in the Shelby.
