Are 07 GT500's worth it

[dvups1]

If you are going to pull the motor, just get any mustang. A GT500 is comfortable at 700 rwhp with bolt-ons (no real reason to pull the motor).

why not get a real one?

That's a good question. I've been on the fence lately between buying a low mileage 1993 cobra or a gt500. I'm leaning more towards the 93 because their value is stable and should go up. Where the GT500 will only go down in value for years to come. The only problem I have is finding a 93 cobra. I've been close twice and both times the sellers flaked out hours before the deal was suppose to go down.

i found you the perfect 93! pm sent

how much????

not for sale till the prices get stupid as they were 3-4 years ago. i have a number in mind that it would take, my father and i actually agreed on the same amount. Realistically not sure it will ever get there.

If you aren't planning to road course the car, GT500.

Faster
Better transmission
Easier to make big power
Gets more attention than a GT

Damn Grape Ape that fucking car is tits!

To the OP, if you are filthy rich, then get the GT500. You want 700+hp a KB with the supporting mods will be just a tad over 10k on top of the price of the car. My friend has one as a daily driver and gas is a killer, her's is stock, I can't imagine one with a KB as a daily.

The 5.0 has almost 400hp to the wheels, a few mods and its in the 11's and gas mileage is decent.

The Chinaman special MT82 is not very appealing to me either..

Not filthy rich, just have minimal expenses leaving money avail for the toy fund. With a GT500, I'd probably only plan on porting, steg venom kit, pulley, suspension and exhaust. Thinking about it now, it would be hard to justify a $5,000 premium on a GT500 compared to the 5.0, especially being 4-5 years older.

6 Figures? Sell it to Gas Monkey. That way you can be on TV lol.

And if it really matters, money isn't really a big deal. I'm thinking if I go shelby, the motor is going to be pulled and redone anyways.
