Thinking of trading a 2011 GT500 for a s550

I suppose your right. Lighting is just an F150 with a few boltons. 
Keep gt500 and finish payments.
Anyone saying keep the gt500 because it will go up on value is delusional. Maybe after 20+ years and if the mileage is under 1k miles. Sadly those "collector" cars will end up being sold before they actually climb up in value. Which is good for the next guy to pick it up. They get a mint GT500.

Different suspension, brakes, seats, lower compression, blower.I suppose your right. Lighting is just an F150 with a few boltons.
Same frame, suspension geometry, wheel base, steering, same trans, body panels, same heads, cams, exhaust manifolds....
There is more the same than different
That’s a good looking car!! This is mine and I definitely love this car, I don’t plan on keeping my car low miles, after all I did buy it to drive it so the future resell doesn’t worry me to much , as I well have enjoyed the car lol

No way in hell I'd trade your GT500 for that.
To me I think it would only be worth it if you're trading up to a 18+ with the 10AT or maybe even a Bullitt and were getting all the bells and whistles. A '15-17 6AT or 6MT isnt better enough IMO to warrant losing the uniqueness of a GT500 over.
Been following this since first post, curious of the replies. I'm surprised so many people place value on the Shelby and GT500 names. The names themselves are meaningless to me, just interested in the mechanical differences in those models. I'll walk past a Shelby but stop and admire a well done Fox every single time. Given the same price I'd definitely take an S550 over S197 GT500. BUT, to OP, if it's just a weekend fun car, and you like the appeal of having a Shelby, then keep it. If having a Shelby doesn't matter, then put as much seat time in the S550 as you can and make the choice from there.
That’s a solid view I feel the same way I really only got the Shelby because I got a smoking deal on it I wanted an s550 from the get go so I don’t really have a anchor tying me to the Shelby

It's always been that way here. It's pretty funny these guys don't care about the regular non cobra mustangs no matter how fast they are.
Just watch #ydbt4life on IG. There are gt500/cobra owners in their own world that don't think their car is a mustang.
