GT500 all the way .. even though modding a GT may beat a stock GT500 but think about the cash you will spend to be there !! so .. GT500 for me.

I've been stopping in at the local dealer from time to time to pay them a visit - became good friends after buying 3 vehicles there (mainly aftermarket guy lol). Anyways I can't help but notice the GT500's are down to about $5-7K over MSRP, that's a $15K drop in like the last 6 months.

I'm just about to pull the trigger on a Whipple, but can't help but wonder where the break even point on the investment would be on going straight to an already blown GT500 that could support 700+hp for not that much coin. As you all know, going above 10psi on our stock 4.6 and we are on borrowed time unless we rebuild and go forged.

I haven't invested a ton in mods yet.

If you could get a GT500 at or very close to sticker, would you do that or SC your GT? I figured I might as well weigh my options before sinking 6k into a SC.
Well this is pretty easy to answer.

Go with the GT500 - full factory warranty

If you SC the GT - no factory warranty

He went with the only choice...
And that is: The Cobra;).

He just did the trade and got the car for a little over invoice:).

For a daily driver, my clearchoice was to buy a completely maxed out GT used for $30K with $25K in mods. For me, that would make a lot better choice for $20K less than a $50KGT 500
