[QUOTE="11SVTPP, post: 15811944, member: 189591"] Get the GT500. I just bought a 2011 GT500. I wanted something fun, fast, flashy and reasonably affordable at my level. It is all that and more. Its pretty much a daily driver/track car. Every time I take it out someone comes up and wants to talk about it and people are always looking at it in traffic. Here are some things to be aware of in your buying decision. I put a pulley and tune on mine right away and picked up very little power on 91 octane. (about 25whp for 503whp) It seems some of the 11-12 cars may suffer from false knock timing retard which can limit power. Its worth reading Jon Lund's thoughts on this. If buying again I would look closely at the 2010 model. In some instances they can be had a little cheaper that the 11-12's. A friends 2010 made 468whp on 91 octane completely stock, same day, dyno that I made 503whp with a pulley and tune. Get a ride in one if possible to feel the power and feel the level of ride stiffness. My PP car rides a bit stiffer than my friends 2010 non PP car. They both flat out handle very well. Don't miss out! Get the GT500!! [/QUOTE]
