Solid Fox driver is great. I found a mint 70k Teal Cobra with great driver mods (AFR heads, ‘03 anniversary brakes, mild suspension) and got 22mpg on 7hr drive home.I’ve never been a fan of the dash, seats, or shifter position of the Terminators. Could never get past those issues so I have never owned one. I do like the exterior of the 03/04. 2013 Shelby has much cleaner looking interior w far better Recaro seats. If I could afford a 2nd toy it would no doubt be a 92/93 LX Coupe.

You forget how slow they are though, so I sold the drivetrain to my friend with a survivor ‘84 GT and it’s getting a ‘15+ Coyote with small Vortech, T56 and Cobra IRS. Not touching anything else
Feels like a go cart compared to GT500

Some are friends and brothers cars in my garage.
Red ‘93 is a good friends that my dad and I restored as a mild wreck and my friend bought and built.
‘12 is my friend Scott Hasty and his nasty TVS 6R GT.
My brothers have a ‘90 White coyote coupe and ‘86GT turbo Terminator.
My 4 are the ‘66 GT350H, ‘91 LX True street, ‘93 Cobra and ‘14 GT500.
Happy to be able to have a stable.

Thanks man, much appreciated. ‘66 is a real H I remember helping my dad pull out of a local barn at age 10. He also has a ‘67 GT500 we will finish restoring.
‘66 will go back to original black/gold and do solid roller 347/T5 handling street fun deal or run with the rent a racer theme and do retro Paxton and C4 street/strip. Like almost all but 50 Hertz cars it’s a C4 auto.
So feel blessed to have been in the game a while and have fun with family and friends doing it.

That was a long read but I see where you are coming from. The Azure Blue Mach? Find a nice one & you will be in love. They are great cars.Not exactly the same but I sold my '08 Bullitt, a car I deeply enjoyed, for a '14 GT Track Pack. W/a few simple bolt-ons, that car offered me more performance than I needed. It was well built, quiet & solid. A real sleeper-performer for a daily driver.
And yet... I never fell in love w/that car. It had zero charisma & attracted no attention. W/my Bullitt, not a week went by when someone didn't flash me a thumbs up or stop me & ask in a hushed, somewhat reverent tone, "Is that a Bullitt?" to which I responded, "Why yes it is," a smile beaming across my face.
I thought about getting another Bullitt & almost did, until someone suggested I drive an '07-09 gen GT500. (The '10-14 GT500's were outta my price consideration range & I like the '05-09 gen S197's appearance better anyway.) Well, didn't take long before I got hooked on the blower whine & torque of the GT500 & w/the wife's secret concurrence (she didn't know I was shopping but suspected) I found my perfect car sitting in a dealership in Dallas, TX- a white/blue '09 w/a mere 3200 miles on the odo, somebody's garage queen.
Sold off my '14 GT/TP, took a beating & bought a one way ticket to Dallas. Drove the new girl home immediately upon signing the final paperwork & have had ZERO regrets about ridding myself of the '14 & going, uh, backwards.
The GT500 fuflills all my car hopes and wants but, heaven forbid, should something happen to it, I've been eyeballing some Azure Blue '04 Mach I's as replacement, as well as a few other Stangs. But while I own it, I'm enjoying the attention it brings, and it gets far more attention than the Bullitt ever did.
So is it ok to go back? You betcha. Drive what makes your heart sing. Anybody can drive an Accord.

Yep, building shelves and spring will bring a full clean up.
