It doesn't. Learn to spell.
Truth! Full disclosure... 05-09's are ugly AF IMO. 07-09 Shelby looks ok with aftermarket wheels... They're not easy on the eyes in stock form.
11-14 stripe-delete Shelby is one of the best looking cars of our time.

^This. I bet you change your mind.
Have you thought about a TVS supercharger as well?
But on the other hand, those boosted Coyotes are no slouch either.
Good luck.

Gt500
This, no ****ing way I'd get a 05-09 Mustang. They're all ugly, however, the Bullitt is the least ugliest of them all.
Yea I used to looooove the 07-09 GT500, wanted one so bad, but settled for something I could afford, a GTO.
Car just looks dated, that body style didn’t age well.

Im not sure how any heterosexual red blooded American can think that this car (minus the silly hood pins), didnt age well...
Thats about as silly as saying the Terminator didnt age well... just because one sees a ton of clapped out new edges that break after 68 miles of driving, does not mean that they all didnt age well.
A clean / well done 05-09 SVT is just as clean as any other year SVT. Just gotta do it up right.

You have lost your mind. GT500 by a mile
Unless an old school GTO, the GT500 has aged much better than the GTO that GM last made...
The GTO was universally blasted as boring and ugly when it launched. Nothing has changed.
You buy one because they are cheaper then a WS6, come with an LS2, T56 and actually have a nice interior.
I would argue the car has a nicer interior then a Gen 5 Camaro, better visibility and is less offensive to look at.
It still sucks however.
Different strokes, the fact that the GTO hasnt been replaced and the GT500 has is why I think the '07/'09 GT500 hasnt aged very well. You can put wheels on the thing, but the front just looks dated. The regular '07-'09 s197 aged worse.
The WS6 was never more expensive than an LS2 GTO. Not sure about prices now, but when I had the gto back in 2007, there was no way in hell a slower & older ws6 was more expensive. GTO prices during that time were close to terminator prices. I stuck with a GTO because the drive from Camp Pen to Bay area was my semi monthly commute, GTO is a better highway cruiser.
Not to change topic, I agree with what zyborg said, install the pending parts. I wasnt really paying attention to what op posted, but keep current car since you've already put down money on mods.
Maybe wait for the next GT500 to come out for the trinity gt500 prices to drop.
Replacement or not, that has nothing to do with how a car ages. Also, Pontiac is dead so of course it has not been replaced! The 4th gen WS-6 has aged well, but not the 4th gen Camaro IMO. They still make the Camaro, though...
I’m talking about GTO be WS6 prices today. LS1 GTOs are $4-6k and LS2 seem to be $8-16k. The older, slower WS6 goes for those numbers.

Where can I get a CLEAN GTO without insane miles that I can daily drive reliably, if I want to, for $4k? I have not seen them. For $4k, I'd even consider buying one just to **** with. Toss some spray at it & have some cheap fun.
Being replaced has less desirability and to me shows more age. The 07/09 s197's have not aged well. The '07/'09 GT500 has been replaced in looks dept 2x now and soon in s550 form too. This is part of the reason why I want a Fiesta ST, they won't be making anymore. Wish I had a chance to own a new S2000 too.
I used to love the ZR1, but now that the C7Z Z06 is out, I wouldnt even look at a ZR1.
I know, lol 4k for a GTO, shit, **** looking for a fiesta, that could be my new beater. I can sell my 85k mile '00 accord and pay only registration for what you can supposedly get an ls1 gto for.
You seem to be wrong, sir. I checked the entire US on Autotrader & the only GTOs for about $6k were wrecked. Nothing on ebay for $4-6k
Terminator has been replaced even more then the early GT500 and it still looks as bad ass as when it was new...
13/14 Cars still look amazing next to the S550.
I was over the ‘05 look by 2006.

eBay and Autotrader are always overpriced. Keep an eye on Facebook and Craigslist.
I’ve seen several, and yes, they are high mileage beat piles with automatics.
Keep the GT500 and put bigger blower on it. IMO the 07-09 GT500 is top 5 best looking mustangs
