    Gonna pull the trigger...but when

    So I was on the fence on whether or not to buy a gt500 (my other choice was a GT premium) but after patiently waiting (and landing a GREAT 1st job) I was deciding between an M3 or a GT500. The only concern I had was the tires in cold weather, because I live in the northeast. If I don't...

    Test driving a 5.0 and GT500 this week

    So I'm still torn between a 5.0 or GT500. Up until this point I was dead set on a gt500 but I swung by a Ford dealer and they had a brand new 2013 5.0 for 31k sitting outside and it made me think twice. 5.0- Beautiful car with a pretty potent power plant. Brand new which means no one sat in...

    How much faster is a gt500 than a cobra?

    Just curious to hear from you guys. I've tried YouTube but only came across a few vids. Assuming the 03 has full bolt ons, port, and tune how will it do against a 11 GT500 with pulley, intake, tube, exhaust. I know the Shelby will have a solid 100 rwhp but the weight might kill it. From a dig/roll?

    Just checked out a 11'...some concerns

    Checked out a 11 with SVTPP and Navi/Synce etc... near my house today. I couldnt drive it because it was raining and the salesman didnt want to take a chance with a 540hp car (dont blame him) I had a few questions for those that DD their cars 1) What is the famous 1-2 shift issue and is it a...

    SVTPP really worth it?

    Im just curious to see if any of you guys have it on your GT 500. Any real benefits besides the 3.73's? Should I buy one it will be my DD and since they include staggered wheels I might have an issue because I will not be able to rotate the tires. Im also not a fan of those wheels :xpl: (No harm...

    GT500 or Cobra...your most UNBIASED opinion

    Im finally starting my classes on Saturday and will have a job by the year end. I narrowed down my choices to either an 03/04 cobra or a 2010+ gt500 (not including the 13). Cobra- What can I say, its been on the top of my list since I sold my trans am. The only car I would think twice about...

    Is a gt500 for a DD overkill?

    Im seriously considering the new mustang soon when I land my first job. Im debating between the new 5.0 and the new gt500. Obviously I know as far as performance goes the gt500 blows the 5.0 away in every possible category. But I was wondering if a gt500 is too much car for a dd and if the 5.0...
