What would you pick?
Okay guys, Ive decided on a choice of two different cars.
I found an 08 Roush 427r BlackJack. This certain one has 18k miles.
Or a 07-09 GT500 with >15k miles.
Ive went through all the pros and cons, and they seem to almost equal out in my mind. I just want to see what the general opinion of both cars would be.
Btw, Im 19 and this car would just be a weekend cruiser to town and on dates.

GT500 without a doubt.
better engine, and it's built to take a lot more power than the Roush. and as it sits it has more power.
from the engine to the tranny, it can hold a lot more power than the roush.
the 427 is at its limits for power, but the shelby can go up a lot more than what it has stock.
if it were a P51 Roush, i would take that.
but between these 2, the GT500 is better all around.

how are you 19 and shopping for a 4th vehicle specifically for weekend cruising/dates : P
I would get the GT500. it's a better all around package and the engine is built for the power moreso the a Roush model. roush looks better in my opinion, but it's not as much car for the money.
