Your thoughts on this 09 GT500?

[fearthesnake]

Noticed this one on eBay. Look legit, HP ratings?

I like the looks and rims. Price seem about right or a little high?

Nervous about trying to purchase a vehicle so far away, I'd like to see in person first though, you know?

Looks really good...... Good luck

It looks like a really nice car, but with 20k miles, it's overpriced. The first gen Shelbys have come way down in price with the new body style and new engine. I think it should be more in the 30-32k range.

Looks like a stock pulley to me?

Well to put price in perspective I bought my 08 in February for 35k. It only had 627 miles it with the mods in my sig. There are better deals out there IMO.

I think after reading other GT500 owner mods and HP ratings, I'm gonna have to call BS on the 600+ HP they are advertising. Doesn't that seem high with just a Pulley (that's in question btw) and exhaust?

I'll wait it out and see, I agree, I have seen much better deals in the $32K range.

Appreciate your input.

Priced way too high.

I bought my bone stock 2007 GT500 with 20k in miles after taxes and 3 year warranty for around 34k through a Ford dealer.

Technically, they are probably right as they are not saying 600+ RWHP. They probably took the dyno rwhp and adjusted it to roughly what it would be at the crank (IIRC it's a about an 18% drop from crank to RWHP figures). Much sexier to say it's 600+ vs. the 500 at the wheels.

Thank you Boston Mike....

Did that pulley look like the stock one?

 

[ericmuscle]

looks like a cheater stock style pulley.

 

[UnleashedBeast]

It's the VMP 2.59" stock look pulley.

Car is maybe 540 rwhp with those mods, possibly less depending on the tune. If I bought it, I would make sure the current owners gives you the Diablo tuner with it.

Wonder why some people buy the Diablo tuner, they are not as widely supported as SCT.

Nice car for sure, clean but priced high IMO. I would keep looking or try to buy it outside of EBAY for less. Good deal for 32K yeah........better deals out there? For sure!!! Good luck.

Beast - I used Diablo because it came as part of a C&L package with the CAI. In hindsight, wish I hadn't. It was defective and took my car out of commission for two weeks - plus the customer service with Diablo was horrendous. Would certainly use SCT next time.

Hell you can buy my 2010 for 45k. It has a tad over 750 ish rwhp
