07 shelby GT or 08 bullitt?

hello everyone. this is my first post on here. I have been reading for a wile but its now time to start to make a decision. I have been in love with mustangs since the foxbody of the late 80's. unfortunately life has not been able to let me get a mustang till now. I have decided to buy a mustang for my 30Th birthday. I really dont want to spend more than 25k. I know i can get a 2010 gt premium for about that price but i want a special "stand out " mustang. I have narrowed down my choices to 4 mustangs. 03/04 SVT cobra,03/04 mach 1, 07 Shelby GT and 08 Bullitt.

I would really like a 07 GT500 but the cheapest i can find them for are 33-35k. I have found some low miles 03/04 cobras right at 25k and some Shelby GT's for 26k. I know the svt is supercharged and has the most Horsepower than all the ones i listed. The Shelby GT is one fine looking car tho.

So with that said what would you guys pick if you had those choices?

thanks a bunch
tony

Welcome! I love all of those cars, but I would personally take the 03/04 Terminator or the Mach 1 even though I love the S197's

Welcome! Of the cars listed I'd take the Shelby GT all the way.

But if the extra $8-10k for the GT500 is within your budget then you HAVE to get that.

I agree with max here, of course I am biased as I have a 07 SGT. In fact I just went to the garage for something, and nothing makes me smile more than to see SHELBY across the back of my trunk lid. But you have to decide for yourself what will make you smile.

Welcome aboard. IMO the Shelby GT is the way to go.

I love my '08 Bullitt. I like the toned down look. Stripes and badges are not for me.

I did put Steeda springs and Tokico shocks on the car to help the handling.

As it stands now with the 3.73 gears, factory CAI and great exhaust note it is everything a SGT is only less in your face.

The GT500 though, well that's a whole new deal.
