Do not think that I will ever sell my GT500 was going to go to a 13/14 ( I have an 11 ) but already put money into it the things id gain are gone. Could do the front conversion rear basically done. Then build the motor.

Before the motor build need to get a DD I DD this now and would like to keep miles down commute to work is only 8 miles so isn't horrible. Always drive my wifes F150 around when not at work.

Wifes truck is a 17 but has everything and lifted and all bla bla bla she says shell never sell it we will see. She does want a 69 Camaro so that could be ( ours ) who doesn't love those

I want a Raptor. Not sure if I like the newer ones but would love a 14 but they are $$$$$$$

Bought a Jeep Cherokee Altitude edition 4x4 with the turbo 2.0 engine today. Wife's been nagging me for a small SUV for a while, so I relented on the condition that it is used for weekends and trips only. She drives a Focus Titanium daily and I drive a 17 SEL Focus as my mileage beater daily. Still have the Mustang for my toy.

Had a kid two months ago and quickly realized I was never driving my c6 GS. I sold it yesterday and have 4 options, all in order if my interest.

13/14 gt500
18 Zl1 1le
03/04 cobra (low mile, big blower, wheels basically perfect, white or blue)
Gt350 (engine reliability scares me)

It will just be a weekend car. I don't have an interest in tracking the car, but may try autocross once in a while.

I have thought really hard about the 1les too but decided it would be a waste if I am not tracking.

I will be going with another 13/14 GT500 again but want to wait until the 2020 arrives. Currently have price alerts on many GT500's now and they have started to drop slightly the last month or so. There are many dealers Ford or others that are sitting on some real nice 13/14's but their prices are too high and they are showroom dressing. Wish I liked Ingot Silver because there is a beautiful low mileage one owner 2014 near me. Just what I am looking for.

Mine will be a 2020 GT500 unless the HP level is under 755 horses or the price is more than I’m willing to pay. In that case it will be a toss up between a C6 ZR1 or a C7 ZO6

That's what I'm going to do as well. DIB or race red for me.

Are you still looking at used Hellcats?

Yes. Although on advice of my wife I am putting on hold until I finish my GT500 because a Hellcat may be too similar to what I have. It should be done soon - heads are at machine shop which I think is the last thing that needed finishing.

Definitely skip the 1LE if not tracking. Regular ZL1 is a bad ass street car

A guy I work with has a C6 Corvette with long tubes and a cam. Sounds good enough for me to actually want one.

I'm about to move further away from work so I'll be shopping for a commuter car, I'm thinking a 4-banger '15+ mustang, looks like they get good gas mileage and they're cheap. Next will be my truck, going to move to a 3/4 ton diesel, likely a '15 Denali HD, to better tow my cobra and other stuff.

I’ve been thinking hard about swapping out the Hellcat Challenger for a Trackhawk. Maybe in the next few months.....

Have also toyed around with the idea of getting a basic crew cab truck for my daily and picking up a serious 2 seater weekend toy instead.

One week I’m all for the trackhawk and the next week I catch myself browsing ZR1’s & lightly used Mclarens...
