Wow!! I have been forbade!!! Yeah, no. I'm gonna trade if I can find 1 to my liking.
Mod 5.0, gt500 is badass no doubt you are already modding and driving your car.
exactly you had already made up your mind and nothing we say will keep you from getting a shelby. so enjoy your shelby
Actually, this is not true. But when I considered suspension, supercharger, and potentially forged internals down the road, the cost will be more than what I can get a Shelby for. So that's why I want to trade.
dont get a 10! iron block boat anchor.

I would probablt keep the car and put a blower on it, but that's me. I try to get out from under my payments as fast as possible. Of course a 13/14 GT500 would be pretty sweet...
GT500 is a better built car than the 5.0. Starting with forged internals is a big plus and plenty of guys around 800 rwhp on a stock motor 5.4. There are plenty of 2010-12 GT500s under 40k. Pulley and tune over 500 rwhp for under a grand. Add a TVS or whipple and 650 rwhp plus is no problem.
2012 gt-500 550 crank hp thats about 480 rwhp add a pulley and tune will make 575-600 rwhp depending on the pulley size. Add longtubes and exhaust your over 625 easy! Whipple or kenne bell looking at 700 hp easily!
You also get a tremec even though it has remote mounted shifter. You get the svt 8.8 rear which is more stout then the 5.0 8.8 rear! if your gonna drop 40 k on a 2012 a 2013 is not to much further away and its a better car then the 12!

$20k is a LONG way away.
Trade, un-like some have said, you get a lot more than just a super-charger when you purchase a 13/14 Shelby GT 500. You get a completely upgraded car to go with the motor.
If you look at the top 2 examples i posted above the difference in price is 12k not that much when you consider what you get in a 13 gt 500!
I'm looking for something in the low $40s; that 13 is almost $57k.
Achamb, if you are looking for a 13/14 GT500 in the low $40's, I suspect that you will have to wait a few years and for a high-mileage version.
The 40k range is gonna be the 2012 svt package gt -500 then mod it to keep pace with a 13/14 gt-500. You'd be lucky to find a 13/14 wrecked but fixable at that price!
I think y'all are misunderstanding me. I am going to look for a 2011-12 because I cannot afford a 2013. I was merely pointing out that the 13 the guy posted earlier was $15-20k above what I want to pay. I know the 13s are not in the $40s yet, that's why I have not even thought about looking for one. I won't be ready to buy until sometime in 2014, not January, but maybe spring or summer. I would love to have before Mustang Week if possible.
