2010 GT vs 2005-09 GT w/ Eibach Pro Kit Plus?
My heart is set on a Corvette C5 base. My head says go with the mustang, you have a wife and two children. Well I am trying to make a final decision. I kind of let go of the idea of a 08 Mustang bullitt due to, yeah cool because of it being limited production, possibly collectible. But I heard that the bullitt suspension is ok, nothing very special. So now I am left with either a 2010 Mustang GT or a 05-09 Mustang GT with eibach pro kit plus package. Ideally it would be cool to find a 2010 Mustang GT with track pack package but I have not found one at all, seen various low mile 2010 at dealers for around $19,999,99 but with no track pack. What is better handling, better around corners, 2010 Mustang GT or 05-09 GT with above Eibach kit? Yes I know there is better than the eibach but I am talking about bang for your buck. I talked to a guy at the track today, two Mustang gts from 05-09 racing against a couple of z350s. One guy told me he was running a 06 Mustang GT with above eibach kit with hawk front pads with better brake fluid and he was consistently beating some 350's around track, road racing, all individuals around same skill level. Ger.

Persistence pays off in the long run. Keep shopping for a 2010 GT.
I have a 2007 Roushcharged 4.6L and prefer N/A engines for track use but on track it's more about car balance, suspension and brakes. There are more corners than straights.
The Coyote engine is nice platform to build and modify for track use. Sway bars, Koni Yellows, Brembos, high temp fluid, braided brake lines and cooling ducts puts you in a nice position for HPDE track days and SCCA/NASA.

Wait a minute. Now that I've come to my senses the Coyote is a 2011 model engine spec. Sorry.
The Eibach kit makes a 2005-2009 GT look more attractive.
If I had to do it all over again, I would've bought a premium 05-10 GT and modify the suspension and brakes, wheels and tires myself, as I've put about $5,000 parts and labor into suspension and brake mods to my Roush for road course track events.
