New 5.0 vs used GT500 vs Roush vs Saleen etc etc
#11
Great guys thanks! I conclude that I do not want to buy the 07-09 GT500. The new 5.0 is the favorite after doing some more research. The 11 GT500 is based on the Ford GT engine from what I can gather, and that it is alu block instead of cast iron. It also has electronic assist steering + some suspension upgrades. BUT way to spendy for me yet. Will probably wait a few years until the Roush, Saleen, Steeda models that are based on the 5.0 are available used. My black stock -06GT will do for now. OR maybe I should immediately buy a used tricked out Roush, Saleen, Steeda based on the 05-09 models.... AAAAHH too many choices!!!

stock 5.0 is fantastic handling car and the 5.0 lends itself to a killer mod motor due to amazing heads that love to rev
older gt500s had cast iron blocks 2010 they moved to alum block
they are based on ford lightning motors the ford gt motor is very different then the gt500 motor if i remember correctly
if you want a drag car get a low mile gt500 throw lots more fuel and boost and get some good wide tires and work on driver mod
