Bye SHO, Hello 5.0

[DakotaSHO]

A deal too good to pass up presented itself, so yesterday I traded in the SHO for a 2011 Mustang GT. It's an 1 owner, auto, with 46K on the clock. So far I'm really liking it. Ordering Rousch axle back for it today and in touch with LMS to get a tune for it.

I would go with AED if your going to tune it.

 

[DakotaSHO]

Good to know, I'll have to look into them.

Congrats, good luck!

Nice car!  I would have a 5.0 if it weren't for family needs.  Do lots of research before placing the first parts order.  The aftermarket support is staggering and there are definitely good, better, best choices.

you will enjoy it.  i love mine to death

Nice! haha!! We both like rhyming apparently!

nice deal. I want a new 5.0 soooo bad but need the 4 doors.

the aftermarket is full of parts and you can get into the 10s easily.

I feel like everyone should just have both!!  Although mine's only a 4.6....

Not that easy lol....Maybe closer to 20 grand on top of the car but that's easy I guess

Probably less then 5k to get in the 10s if you go the nitrous route.

So what about when you need to upgrade the internals due to the power you have that running 10's takes?.....i have a twin turbo 2014 5.0 in the driveway right now.....you will have also about 2 grand in suspension upgrades. You will need a grand for a driveshaft as well lol.....havent mentioned labor yet

the new 350 sure seems tempting. If only dealers were not so greedy to manipulate the suggested msrp.

I bet the dealer markups go away within the next several months.  Took about a year when the GT500's came out in 07....

Just couple of years ago I was looking at a gt500, sitting at a show room with a 64K sticker. You go on Ford's website, and don't quote me exactly, but the msrp was like 46K.

 

[Ryan02Stang]

Probably was the '13....the price on those went back up because it had almost 700 HP....

Lots of guys in my local Mustang club picked up the 10-12 GT500's for decent prices.

Think you have your numbers mixed up...You would almost spend that on a C/S and a 12'/13' Boss 302 when they were new....The MSRP on my GT premium 14' 40k

Even a completely stripped down 13'/14' GT500 were just shy of 60k and that would've been special order which would've been nearly impossible to do at the time...Most of them were low 60's on up to high 60's MSRP and could be had for sticker or 5k over

People are still paying well into the 50's for slightly used 13'/14's

Maybe you are thinking the 07'-12's which nobody wants anymore. Only people I see driving those are senior citizens

 

[cror1]

Well, either way, I would not pay 60K+ for a gt500, because for just slightly more, there  are other better cars to be had, even if slightly used, a year or two.
