So I am on the quest for the right GT500 as evident in my other thread about the whipple 2010 for sale. I was watching a video of a grabber blue 2012 with a twin turbo which I will link below. In the video the owner mentions it has a coyote ECU. What was the purpose of doing so? Is it just because tuning it is "easier" or more convenient in some way?
Let's say I am looking at a 2011/2012 and a 2013/2014 - both are equal miles, same color, same options, same condition but there is a $10k difference. I am planning on removing the stock blower anyways and doing some heavy modifications. I know the motors are different from a 5.8 and a 5.4 along with the big HP difference stock and of course cosmetic differences. But what would I really be gaining with the 2013-2014 if I was going to do build anyways? The cosmetic differences do not matter to me that much. I am just thinking that it would cost me less to get the same result when all is said and done, or am I missing something key?
