Well I test drove a 2012 GT500 and wasn't impressed!!!!! I know it was stock but was expecting more! I know My 5.0 could run with it and probably jump out on the GT500.
Whatcha Think?
- Thread starter Get some 5.0
- Start date
Thats 550 crank hp or about 495hp to the wheels and its heavier then your car. The difference is a good tune and a pully and the car becomes a monster!
I know, I was thinking the suspension is a lot better. That's why it didn't feel that powerful!!! It will be a hard decision because I'm done with mine except for a Paxton!!!!!
Used 11/12 GT500's are in the low $40K's. And then you would have to put on a TVS supercharger with supporting mods to keep up with a Paxton powered 5.0.
Unless you can't live without the Shelby/SVT/Cobra badges, the 5.0 is more car for the money. There is a reason why the 5.0 is on C@D's 10 best every year, and the Shelby isn't.
