Why to, or not, to buy...

I do from time to time. Seems that people here are priced higher than most other venues, for some reason.
100%. Before I bought my 2011 GT500, I bought a new off the lot 2014 GT Manual. The engine is absolutely an amazing engine, very smooth and very responsive. I got a 301A package car and had the 3.31 gears which, if Im honest, doesnt do the Coyote justice. 3.73 rear gears makes the Coyote VERY fun.
I think you'd be hard pressed to need more power out of a Coyote other than easy bolt ons. Boss 302 intake manifold, PMAS cold air, offroad X-pipe and a solid tune would probably get you to 400 rwhp. I am unsure what the Coyote needs to run E85 NA, but E85 is absolutely a great idea and luckily enough it seems to be plentiful down in Florida.

Follow him on youtube, or at the very least watch his videos. He has a bunch on how to make power with N/A Coyotes.
My vote? 11-14 Coyote.
Something slightly overlooked is the 99-04 GT cars. Put a tork tech kit, and you have a poor mans 03/04 cobra with the cheapness of a 2v GT.
They generally put down 400 no issue. It's the route i'm going.

From a budget standpoint I’d try and swing a 11-14 Coyote or 03-04 Mach 1 or even an 01 Cobra. 2V sounds amazing but even at 400 with a torque tech coyote will probably still walk it stock.

Good point.
Other option is, cheapness of 2v GT 99-04 car. Slap a Coyote in it since it's pretty much a bolt in affair on those cars. Very little "conversion" level work to be done aside from parts collecting.
Now that would be a fun car to drive..
No project cars for me, please. I started doing that in 1993. Its been too long and I'm too old for that. Plus, projects = $$$
Very true. There was a swap done in an 01 Cobra on here that was bad ass. You could get a 99-04 GT maybe even get lucky and get one with a blown 2V but in good shape.
@gimmie11s you have some 11-14 coyote feedback for OP?

I loved mine.. really did. Best looking body IMO of the modern (05+) mustang including the s550.
Motors are good for 650 or so whp in stock form. Pretty damn stout. In N/A form i dont know why it wouldnt last forever. The auto 6r80 in those cars is tough as fuggin nails... MT82, however, gets a bad rep. My MT82 shifted good, but somehow busted 6th gear? Very hit and miss on the MT82.
