Alright heres my question about the next ride.. I'm really stuck between these two cars and I feel like it should be an easy decision. But what do you all think? A 2007 or so gt500 or a new 2011 GT in grabber blue? Which would you buy?
GT500 or 5.0?

In all fairness cpt robert....we can throw a bell s/c on my car and make it dance a dyno to 700rwhp....but how many times am I gonna be able to do that. It's still a cast rotating assembly....right? No for real I'm asking, I'm assuming it is. And its at such a high compression ratio already....its not really f/i friendly from what I can tell. You might be able to squeek by with 7 psi, but for how long?

Nope, even that one is 500hp. Wrong again.
As I understand it, Ford has already made provisions for the coyote to be force fed and/or direct injected. Many of us had our doubts about the 4.6 when they became the V8 for Mustangs. As far as which to choose, I had to(old and married) choose the GT with Old Fart pkg(loaded auto) to be a little more practical(this time

Of course there's not a right or wrong in this. But almost everyone's just blindly nutswinging on the Shelby, and I like poking holes in that kind of fanboyism
I do think it's funny you come after me for my supposed attitude, when I literally got told to slap myself for being stupid just because I don't lust after the GT500.

I just wanna chip in and say I never called you stupid, but it sounds like you have some hidden/mixed feeling about your own opinion:stickpokeOf course there's not a right or wrong in this.

Only hidden in that I have a much more extreme opinion than I'm voicing, hahaha.

All I know is that the 2011 is ugly and I test drove one the other day and I hated every minute of it. The interior looks nice but thats about it. I have an 09 GT with CAI, Kooks LT headers, catted x, Corsa cat-backs, and tune and the "butt-dyno" likes it way more than the 5.0. The clutch in the 5.0 drove me nuts more than anything. I put my foot on it and it dropped right to the floor. There is absolutely no resistance in the clutch what-so-ever. I guess it would just take some getting used to but I really didn't like it.

I am with the Reverend 100% on this one. In a year you will be able to pick up a used 5.0 for 22-25K in where the Shelby will still hold its value at around 35K. The pre 2011 GT500's have a heavy ass iron block and an sloppy suspension to boot. Roush destroyed the GT500 in the corners with less power. I will gladly trade 85 hp for a few hundred lbs off the curb weight any day. Power to weight ratios make a huge diference. Plus once you force feed that 5.0 you will have plenty of HP to destroy people. Did anyone notice the 5 liter running 12's and under???? Without F/I mind you. I love a Shelby but I like my money even more. Never pay for a name.
