Thanks Jon! Hope all is well with you buddy and yours buddy. How are you liking your new ride?
Hope to see you at the KYHP shootout.

Thanks! Loving it so far. Ready to pull the trigger on the TVS this weekend.
This thread is really at its end, as the OP bought a GT. However, I'd like to comment about your statement. The local car crowd I run with belittles GT500 owners, making the same "con" comments about the car as I listed out on page two of this thread.
Supercharged modded GT owners are OK to them. GT500 owners are, well.....just short of the stereotyped gold chain wearing Corvette owner.

Jared you should come down to the NMRA event in Bowling Green in two weeks. Our whole gang will be there racing, hanging out, etc. There will also be several vendors there selling parts for your new ride, I know VMP will be there with their TVS package selling them. You gotta come down & check it out, especially if you want to get a TVS!

Gonna try to. I haven't been able to make it down there any, so I will try to get off work and go.
EDIT: Didn't realize you already bought the GT, so I'll just leave this picture of my 5.0 and a GB/Red stripe GT500 here
I'm not sure if this will sway your opinion but there were only like 54 GB with red stripe GT500s made. A guy I work with has one, it's pretty striking in person. I'm not sure if these will end up being collector with their color but they are pretty rare to see.
Here's a pic for others of me and him next to eachother:

Both look great. I am pleased with my purchase though. Could've gone either way but to buy one less than 5 miles away and the price I paid I can't complain at all.
Got my 14 gt over a 14 500
Traded my 09 GT500 for my BOSS LS. No regrets. When 5.0's are trapping 120's in the 1/4 with intake, tune, xpipe , same as an upper pulley GT500. 5.0's are better balanced, weigh less, drive a lot better. Ive driven a 12' SVTPP didnt seem much different than my 09 very front heavy etc.
Id get a 5.0 auto if you drag race
or a boss for road racing.
13' GT500 if you have the money.

Roush are nice, The VMP Kit (which is a jazzed up Roush), has some nicer upgrades for the same price.
Insurance and gas will be more with the Snake
RC
I have never seen either of them in the low 30's. When I got my 2011 PP car I paid $39,500 which was the lowest priced one I could find. This was maybe 3-4 months ago
I went through the same back and forth game on what to get. I have always wanted a GT500 and there are very few around here so that makes it nice. I think I would have tested out a boss 302 though had I been able to do it all over. The value of the GT500 and Boss holds well too.

Maybe down here in south Florida there's more inventory but I've been window shopping lately and found a bunch of 2010s for 32-34k and 2011 gt500s for 33-36k (at dealers too so there's some negotiation there). I found a white one for 33,500 with nav and everything the other day and just about pulled my blower off to go trade on the thing but I've decided against it. I like my 5.0 too much. Maybe when the prices of the 13-14 come down I'll make the switch.
I was in the same boat. I wanted a 2013 Gt500, but could not get one under the MSRP. Ended up buying a 2013 GT Premium and with the leftover money was able to buy a 2013 Chrysler 300 for my everyday car. The GT exceeded my expectations. I put a Boss 302 front grill, lower valance lights and a Roush spoiler for under $1,000.00. After choosing I am happy with my decision. Mitch
