Default Grabber Blue - GT or GT500?

Hey Everyone. Last year I sold my 2010 GT Premium and am now in the market for another Mustang. I am sold on Grabber blue...I just can't see myself owning any other color since I have the opportunity to shop. However, the only other color I might consider is the Boss 302 Competition orange or maybe white.

That being said, what is the best thing to do to look for the right car. I called my dealership and they said "they would keep their eye out," but I'm not sure how motivated they are.

I'm looking for a 2013/2014 Grabber Blue GT or a 2012-2014 Grabber Blue Shelby GT-500. I've been told that both are pretty rare to find.

I traded my car in for an F-150 EcoBoost appearance package and absolutely LOVE it. I needed it for work but now I'm looking for another weekend toy!

You are deciding between a GT and a GT500?

If you can afford/have the opportunity to get a GT500, why would you even consider a GT?
They don't even compare.

It is getting harder and harder to shop for that "perfect" 13/14 as they cleaned out for the most part with the '15s rolling out.

Yeah, I think the GT500 is my top choice but they are hard to find these days. I also don't know the differences between the years that well. When did they get kicked up to 662hp stock?

After looking at it, I think my best option is to go for the Grabber Blue GT. I want a 2013 with the Shaker system, hopefully glass roof and leather. Might be hard to find but that's what I'm set on.

Anyone have any ideas on how to find one of those other than asking my dealership?

I think the chance of finding a new one, is almost impossible, just start looking at all the used online outlets, and dealer has very little motivation to find you a used car, margins are too slim.
Good luck though.

I'd rather have a 5.0 GT over a 10-12 GT500. 13-14 GT500 is a different story though :P

You might want to look for the track pack and/or the brembo brake package.

The track pack comes with 3.73 gears and torsion differential. The brembo brakes comes with stiffer front and rear springs/struts, GT500 lower control arm, larger brakes and 19x9 wheels.

I have the 2012 GT with 3.73, Brembo Brakes, Roush Supercharger, grabber blue and GT500 stripes. I couldn't be happier.

Good luck,

Al

If you get the 10-12 GT500 it still has a forged bottom end. That means all you need is a smaller pulley and larger intake and you are rocking on 700hp.
