[QUOTE="Ninjak, post: 11518493, member: 122048"] Well perhaps I can help with this. I just purchase my GT500 on F3b 14 2012. Before that I had a modded 08 GT. The mods on the 08 included FR3 suspension, LCA's UCA's from B&M, BaP, Magnaflow Side Exhaust w/XChamber, Saleen Stoptechs w/slotted rotors, and a Saleen SuperShaker S/C. Also had a Kenwood Nav/Bluetooth/Ipod system. The car was very unique looking and I had many compliments on it. pic[IMG]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-AnzmXCFaEQM/TzvhzwIybWI/AAAAAAAAAOs/UeoooNaTlEY/w494-h371-k/The%2BWolf2.JPG[/IMG] It also ran 12.5/12.6 on street tires all day long and was a blast to drive. After saying all this, the one thing it was not, it was not a Shelby. My car was nearly maxed out if you wanted to be safe and not risk going boom. I was at the point where I needed to start replacing certain parts if I wanted to go further. I do not have that issue in my new SHelby. Also at the end of the day, no matter how much I did to my car, it was still a modded GT. At the end of the day your Shelby will be a Shelby, thus it will retain its value a lot more. I guess it comes down to why you want the car. Do you want to go fast ? Do you want a piece of perhaps automotive history ? For me, the answer was the both. I wanted to have a nice performance Mustang, but I also wanted a piece of what is sure to be automotive history. So when my Shelby presented itself to me, at the deal I wanted, I pulled the trigger. Now for truth the new 5.0 is not the 08 Mustangs. They can truly hold there own with some mods. But again, in the end, it is still a GT. So it still comes down to the one question. Go fast GT ? save some money ? Go fast GT500. Own a piece of history. For me, well lol look at my sig. That was my choice, and I could not be happier with the decision. [/QUOTE]
