well it's your choice on what car you want. But it boils down to this.

Do you want something that's quicker stock, and have more fun in and do more mods to off the rip, or would you rather own a very exotic and rare car, that you could mod but would require a good deal more to get it anywhere near a GT500?

Exotic or Quick? Pick!

Edit: forgot to say, i would pick the GT500.

I can't believe someone even has to ask this question, but since you did.....I'll give you my opinion......

GET THE SHELBY GT500

The Roush does nothing for me. I believe the Shelby will out perform and be worth so much more.

Here's a girl that knows her sh#t.

No poll needed because we don't have a contest IMO.
First, there's nothing the Roush can do that the Cobra can't.
Second, as soon as Carroll Shelby's gone, the GT500 is worth 100K instantly, used or not.

I feel bad for my buddy LB that paid 41K for his Roush (ouch, no lube!)in 05 and can't resell it for 30K now with 7000 miles and the car is stillimmaculate. Those cars don't resell for sh#t, no matter the shape.
Oh yeah, what a deal.

GT500, GT500, GT500

There's nothing that blackjack can offer that you can't do to the car you already have. GT500 has endless hp potential and will hold value. Plus, it's a Shelby. The general population will see the blackjack and figure its just a modified GT.

roush will out handle that gt500 any day but with the price difference you can fix that. Go for the 500, the motor is in a way different league

You aren't kidding. They've been trying to sell a 427R in town that was repo'd and for sale for $35k for about three months now. I think it has 7,000 miles on it or something. Nobody wants to drop that kind of money without a cobra emblem that you can get for a few more thousand. Don't blame them, either.

Gman...I know I wasn't blunt enough but please just put me out of my misery and go with the GT500. Its the one you want!! The Blackjack is a cool car thats about it. Honestly its not even in the same class as the GT500 and years from now I don't think people are going to be saying wow that blackjack was really something. If it was me I would choose the GT500 especially if I could order it. That means you can personalize it to what you want! Please put me out of my misery!
