[QUOTE="Nathan'sTsi, post: 9910063, member: 14187"] I have had this internal debate A LOT in the past couple of months. The prices are comparable, the gt500 offers much better performance. The argument for the 5.0 is that it is brand new and performs well, and is the newest body style . The for the Shelby are that the shelby is faster, is a "special" unit and has already gone through a big hit in depreciation. Just think, they will sell even more GTs now since they are such a better performer, so they will be on every corner. There will be nothing special about it. I still don't see GT500s that often, and they always get a double take from me. For me, the GT will have less draw for ME to mod it substantially as the N/A motor will reach the point of diminishing returns faster, and I don't need another project/money pit. If I didn't have a 700+hp car already, the gt500 makes so much more sense. However, I need something that just doesn't BEG for a big, bolt on blower, or Hellion Kit, so I will just have to buy at invoice and stay in it for a couple/few years before I get a GTR :) However, I want something that is gun to drive and not be worried about being pulled by bolt on turbo 4 bangers, or charger/300c sedans.(like my stock, auto 08 gt daily). YMMV :) [/QUOTE]
