What would you trade or sell your current car for?

You win.
@Bdubbs thats an extremely tough one for sure. I’d say many times we buy cars we enjoy to look at more than we want to drive. The thought of something happening to low mileage cars, and dings, dents, rock chips etc. That has prevented me from driving my Low Mileage Coupe. I bought a second one because I love them. So I had one I could admire and one I could drive, and have fun with. If I gets rock chips I’ll shrug it off and use black touch up paint.
That being said I’d ask yourself if you traded your GT350 would you drive the other replacement more, or would it sit and be a nice thing to look at as well. I guess it’s all preference at this point. You’ve got an amazing stable, it’s a tough choice. Sounds to me like you just want to change it up, and also the GT350 reminds you both of the loss of your dog. Memories like that burn into your head whether you want them to or not.

I barely drive my ‘14 GT500 anymore. I’m not selling until Ford stops making V8 mustangs then I want to see what happens.
If I were to use that money towards another car right now I’d buy a convertible C8 Vette in automatic. I’m not interested in rowing gears no more.

C5Z is on my bucket list
I loved it. Easily one of my favorite vehicles and I would have held onto it for a long time had we not decided to buy a boat. It was a 2018 with the 4.0TT V8 and checked all the boxes.
2018
I want a C8.
My local dealer has 2. Both ~104k with adm. Both been there for months....
Ive been debating getting rid of my rhd diesel land cruiser for a bronco.
And eventually I'm going to a acquire a 39/40 ford. But I'm not sure anything gets replaced.
Didn’t all C8s go auto?
There are lots of things I’d like in addition to my GT500, but the only vehicle I could see myself selling it for would be a situation where I could use that money on an 05/06 Ford GT.
I don’t know for sure. I don’t even lust after cars these days.
Wouldn’t sell or trade my bucket. It’s been awesome. Not many out there to replace it. Partial pic of my Marti Report, not to be taken out of context.
Only vehicle I’d like is a ‘61-‘66 Ford shortbox pickup, w/manual, small V8, with disc brakes, modern suspension/steering.
No fake patina or a/c.

There's not really anything modern that gets me very excited. Sure there are plenty of good performers, but not many that give me a roddy. Maybe I'm just getting older and have other things soaking up my passion. I can think of a cars I would consider adding, but not sure I'd give mine up for them. I've never been one to drool over exotics (not that I dislike them, just can't afford one/don't want to find a way to afford one) and, at least for now, I still thoroughly enjoy 3 pedals.
Potential attainable additions:
GT350
CTS-V sedan (the coupes look goofy to me, like a giant door stopper)
Viper GTS (97-2000 era)
C5Z (H/C/I and maybe a blower as I intend to keep my C6Z all motor)
Maybe a Terminator convertible just cuz
There are some less flashy buggies that make me smile too. OG SHOs have special place in my heart, S60R/V70R, Marauders, C4 manual...

C6 ZR-1 or LHD Mark 4 Supra...my dream cars
Thread title is a great question. Ive thought about this much but have not yet come to a conclusion despite me wanting to build something else.
The ability to go from 700 hp to 4 digit power at the push of a button is pretty damn silly and hard to duplicate.
Although ive thought about buying a Boss 302 and throwing a giant single on it and magnum xl swapping it.
Ive also thought about buying a new M2 and building that.
IDK.

I like the M2 competition. Thought sell my daily and my Mustang for one nice daily.
MK4 Supra is my next car since the GT350 is out.
My 65, Fox Body and 03 SVT Cobra coupe are not going anywhere.
However, I would love to replace my 03 Roush 380R and my 03 SVT Cobra Vert with a 13/14 GT500 and a superformance or Backdraft Shelby Cobra replica.
