After buying my GT used, doing all the upgrades, then stripping it down and selling it all off, I lost $13k in a little over 2 years, and all in (labor, parts, and car payments), had 37k into it. I think you are on to something.. hahaha. There are some sweet GT500's out there with super low miles for less than $37k..

I'm so glad to finally get away from black. So tired of trying to make it look clean.

I ran the numbers, decided what I wanted to put on my GT to get it where I wanted it, but couldn't justify 19,000.00 in upgrades. The GT500 was a much wiser choice.

Price was 39,988.00 to start, but I jew'd the dealer a bit. It helped.

What kind of RWHP can I expect with current upgrades done to the car? (Pulley, CAI, and tune)
