GT500 or GT?

[JC316]

This thread got me curious and looking at auto trader. Do y'all think a 2016 GT350 (non R) with 5500 miles is worth $46K?

It's in the zone, there is one on cars.com with 3K for $47k. All depends if you think it's worth that.

My vote is for GT-500. Don't put too many miles on it. Then when you sell it you'll get a good chunk of your money back. Unlike with the GT. It'll just depreciate for 40 years first.

I can say that this combo works nicely.

I can say I agree

Decided to go GT500. I saw a bunch of 18-19 mustangs this weekend and I want something a little more unique. I’m actually leaning towards a 13-14 GT 500 since I don’t plan on doing anything to it.

That’s what everyone says until they buy a tuner and a pulley

I'd love to have a 13-14 GT500 or older GT500KR or Super Snake. I like the idea of the Shelbys because I would be keeping the mods and the miles low. I have enough highly modified shit already.

If I was buying something to beat the shit out of, it would be a new GT with 10 speed and a blower. I'd call Joe Myers Ford in Houston or Five Star in Plano.

I think those are really the questions you have to answer here. Are you going to mod it and drive the piss out of it? Or keep it in a state where value is preserved? Answering those questions changes my answer.

My next car will be a low mileage lightly modified 87 Buick Grand National and I won't be driving it too much.

Good call, there are a lot of them out there.

That 500 is a great year to throw a off-road x pipe, pulley, tune, and make 700 at tires without sacrificing reliability. Also, it's got a much tougher manual than a 18-19.

Going to check out a grabber blue and black 2013 tomorrow.

Absolutely.. I've been wanting for another sports car but I'll probably not do anything this year. I'll keep myself busy with modding the Jeep for a while.

Picking up my ‘12 GT500 on Friday. 19k miles. Very tastefully modded. Nice car for sure

Well post up the details so I can live vicariously.

I'm due for a new toy. House remodel, barn building, and life though. And not knowing what I want.

Abort and get a 13/14

For the money I saved I can throw a vmp blower on it and make more power. The ‘13 and ‘14 cars weren’t as well optioned and had more miles.

The ‘12 has a bunch of supporting mods - fully done suspension/control arms, AFCO heat exchanger, Lund N gauge. It has the glass roof and is in pristine condition. One owner. With a pulley and tune it should make upper 500’s to the wheels. Pretty good for less $$ than the 13, 14

I had a Lund tune in my 2009 GT500 and with that and bolt ons I was making 600 to the wheels. This was on a very safe tune as well.

C7z. The GT500s are tanks. I raced one in my z that has over 900hp at the wheels to my 770 and I killed him from 50-150. Was at least 4-5 cars. He said it runs 9.9s at 138 with DRs. I haven’t run mine at the track.

Mine has full exhaust, tvs2300, intake and tune.
