Default Not sure what to buy next.... Help

So I own a 2007 GT/CS and I am looking to upgrade. I found these two cars I like..

2007 Roush Stage 1 Allow with a whipple HO SC added after around 500 hp. 21,999 4,200 miles

2008 Roush 427R Red or silver 29,999 of course 435 HP 28,000 miles

So which one should I buy. Would the 427 hold more value since it is more rare?
Would I tell that big of a difference in the HP?
Would the insurance only see the first one as a stage 1 and be less expensive?

Or should I just supercharge the GT/CS

I would supercharge my C/S or buy the Stage 1. To me the 427 is overpriced, and I dont like the blower they use on that car. I think the most cost effective way to go is by supercharging your car. My $0.02.

If your car is paid off, then supercharge it. Actually, I'd keep it and supercharge it anyways.

Personally, I don't like how the Roushes look, so I'd say work on the car you've got.

Do any of those cars have forged engines? I don't think they do. I'd take the forged engine.

If not forged, then I'd keep what you have but that's just me.

Good point, OP should look into that. I'd say for the money the 427r might have forged internals, but I doubt it.
