    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?

    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...
