wow that's a really good deal. I sold mine for 29k but it had over 25000 miles. one thing, this motors run HOT so get expansion IC tank, 170 tstat, and dual fan heat exhanger ...that will prepare it for more boost >=P
Exciting new buy.. had to share.

Oh I know. I drove my buddy's Condor and damn that TR6060 is awesome. I plan on swapping it into both my 3V's. Don't like the 3650 that's in them.
Put some 4.10's in that thing and let her scream!
Sent from somewhere in the Twilight Zone.
Very nice grab, loved the early S197 GT500s, had an 09 for a short period of time. I always find myself looking at craigslist etc for another low mile one..
+1 on the 410s. those will make the woman's panties wet ...
great info, thank you very much. ill use this.
thanks!
thanks for all the kind words. Got home from work today and started tinkering with it some more...
I check each of the 4 tires and the DOT branded date on each verifies they are the original tires from 2007 LOL. not even dry rotted.. no checking at all. I was surprised by that.
So that got me thinking... I jumped into the engine bay and pulled the air filter. Anyone know who supplied the stock air filters on these cars? This one has a date code that makes me think its the original air filter as well!
take a look at this pic below.. .crazy!

Nice pick up! Change all the fluids, enjoy!
Gorgeous! Silver on black is perfect. That 4K shift light is probably a blessing.
oil was done but there was no mention of trans or diff fluid.... coolant is fresh.
sounds advice, thanks.
I will... wish I could have gone down your path.. love your car!
thank you! from my research you are probably correct... i'll be upgrading to the 08+ balancer REAL soon.
Congrats!
Ive been contemplating this switch more and more. Idk if i could give up my green monster though and start slow again. Also doubt i would get anywhere near what i wanted for my car.
Thanks for sharing that is clean as hell. Cant believe thats a 10 year old car.
My bike is 10 years old too and people are amazed that its that old. Good thing its been garage kept it's whole life. Wish this site still had the damn beer toast smilie

Great pickup. The sportline springs are definitely more about looks than performance. That being said I love them on my convertible lol.
Nice find. I suspect there's a ton of low mileage early GT500s out there that people bought as investments. They represent a good opportunity now.
I'm going to add that back. I miss it too.
Threads like this make me wish I had money to blow on cars. Buy two, drive one all the time or most of the time and eventually sell, the other to keep low miles, maybe as an investment. Then I would also need a ton of space, climate controlled warehouse with lifts. Damn less money
Do it! The experience is totally different. I loved my Coyote car but being a base model i missed out on a LOT that a car like this has to offer.
The sound system alone is fantastic for a 10 y/o car.
The seating position is better, the seats fit me better (odd because they are very similar to base '14 seats abeit leather), the trans shifts amazing. The roots blower type power is different... whole different experience.
Wife got mad when i pulled up because she thought i was buying a used car and was pissed because i went against my word and bought a new one.
I had to talk her off the ledge on that one.
I think it looks (as does yours) amazing. It really does.
At 38 y/o, im beginning to hate the ride that comes along with these looks though LOL.
There are plenty of them out here... just very few under $30k out West in this mileage bracket and that was my target price.
Wow your car looks incredible. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, incredible find. You have to love finding mileage like that from that year.
I love the drop on the car though, what don't you like about the springs?

^^ they ride too rough. Not fun over anything other than a near-perfect surface.
Actually dangerous if you're on power and hit a large bump.. it can unsettle the whole car. I may have experienced that last night lol.
they sure do make the car look great though... I'll find a nice compromise and go from there.
