Default 07 or 10 Shelby??

Been thinking bout buying a gt500 now to go along with my other stang. My finances would let me buy a 07 now. I really like the 2010 looks especially grabber blue w/white stripes. I kinda figured with the 50th anniversary stang approaching it might be wise to hold off as I think deppreciation will kick in. What do you guys think? Thanks

If you like the 2010, go for it, It has a superior clutch and suspension and interior to the 07, personally I would just like if I could keep my body style but take the 2011+ improvements!

If I was lucky enough to be in the position to buy one, I agree with this opinion. Interior nicer on the 2010 but I like the overall exterior look of the 07 more. Good luck with your decision/hunt.

I like the look of the 07-09's MUCH better.
Given the 10 does not have the new block it is a no brainer but an opinion based no brainer for me.

Definitely the 07!
(As long as there are not that many miles on it.)

I like both styles 07-09 and 10+ but that grabber blue with white stripes I think is calling my name, just not the price tag that comes with it. Ill prob just wait and buy a 2010+ body unless I find a heck of deal on a 2007 -09 model.
