Used shelby gt500?

Used shelby gt500?
go with the 03-04.
Its a Cobra for gosh sakes!!!!
For the price of a new 2011 you could have a bad ass whipple cobra pushing over 600 hp and have money to spare.
Love some of the comments in here :dw: . I just picked up my 03 vert for 18.5k 47,xxx on the clock.I am the third owner, Has some mods but nothing that I wouldn't have done later on down the road. As for the 11 GT's I will take my 03 any day of the week the rear end on the 11's looks like ass. Its a run of the mill GT (yes making great power but its still just a GT) and mod for mod the Cobra is going to respond much better.

May not be THAT much of a difference for basic bolt-ons (excluding a blower swap on the terminator). In another thread, Evolution Performance netted a 40rwhp increase from just a filter, x-pipe and cat-back and a SCT tune. No headers, no intake, no pulleys. Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't that essentially what you would expect from the same mods on a terminator? Looks like there's still alot to be had from these engines.

2.91 upper
And I believe I've found the biggest part of your 110 hp gain. I don't think anyone will deny the amount of power to be had by increasing boost. All I'm saying is, if left at stock boost levels (no aftermarket supercharger, upper or lower pullies), basic bolt-ons may add a similar amount of hp to the GT as they did the terminator. ...Just sayin. :beer:
The amt of Money it takes to get similar HP gains out of a N/A motor is MORE.... and there is NO debate about that....that's the point I am making.
IOW- you take both vehicle's and give each $2500-..... unless you spray the 11 GT it will NOT make more RWHP than the Terminator. /end of argument. ..... now you can def make the argument about which one if more comfortable, has a better chassis etc. but when it comes down to pure HP/TQ the Termy will wipe the floor with the 11 GT until you swap the internals and add FI etc on the GT.
LOL @ the butt hurt cobra guys. reality check: NO MATTER WHAT PLASTIC BADGE IS ON THE CAR, IT'S STILL A MUSTANG!
