[QUOTE="HKusp, post: 16642439, member: 194957"] So an update. Pickings were slim and prices were high.On 7/3/2021 I ended up buying a used (6328 miles) 18GT in Shadow black with flat black stripes. Cold air kit, 6 speed manual with leather, no heated/cooled seats but the sync3 system, and back-up sensors. I can not believe how much nicer the s550's are over the s197's. Stock suspensioned with 20 inch KMC black 5 star rims with 255 Toyo's out front and crappy 305 Coopers on the back and it will do anything handling-wise my Shelby would and sooooo much better riding. The tech is so much better. That Shelby was a raw raw car in comparison. So much better than my Fox notchback and even the New Edge GT, but these s550's are amazing. The only thing lacking at this point is the power. Not that this car is slow, a 12.0-12.2 is very possible with the current set-up which is faster than my GT500 was when I first bought it, but I think once I get the ODIN kit I am going to be very very pleased with this car. It really won't have any weakness at that point. North of 700 on pump gas at the wheels and 850 capable on corn will suit me just fine. I was going to go Gen5 Whipple kit, but I spoke with Lethal and Whipple is saying they are 15-20 weeks out and that is unacceptable to me at this point. Thank you guys for all the advice. I appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
