I want that engine in my 01! and while I am dreaming, I would like twin turbos on it. In either case 30 years from now, who is going to want a GT350, instead of a GT500? If I could have a Shelby of yesteryear, I would hands down pick the 500. is that the case now? if people picked a 2015 GT350 or a 2015 GT500, price being no issue for a future generation would they actually pick the "less" powerful sounding name? also, if the GT350 is a track day car, and the GT500 is a drag car, then what the hell is the Cobra jet for?

GT350 is the better car, gt500 is/was pure marketing to boulevard cruisers and drag racers. Just ask Leno which would be his pick form the 64-69(70's) mustangs. GT350 hands down. A GT350 with the optional super charger from shelby is one of the most sought after configurations that exist in early mustangs, barring the boss 429 and 302 cars. The boss 302 (original) was actually hailed as a better race car than the GT350s but one would figure so with it being in production much later and therefore received more engineering than the shelby's early iteration of a track oriented mustang.

Also, the last GT500 I doubt will ever be all that highly collectable with the shear amount produced and the likely hundreds of garage kept babied examples. There will just be too many of them in the future years to really drive up the price. With the last boss 302 (and LS) we will see some collect-ability, but nothing on the level of the 1960's cars. People just know to keep them put up now, where as in the 1960's people were just purely enjoying them until they were used up and what DID survive became highly sought after. The GT500 is common place now thanks to high production numbers (for a special edition car). I know of at least 3 people who own them and its just not that big of a deal.

I'm looking for a new car, and a co-worker who is a Mustang fanatic is willing to sell me his 2003 v6 convertible for 8k so he can buy one of the new ecoboost models. Its in drat near perfect condition, and a fair amount of aftermarket stuff in it, and was a show car. Its blue book value is 4.5k, edmunds gives it 6.7k in a private sale or 7.9k from a dealer, would it be worth the 8k?

Pass, that car is a 4k beater at best, not due to condition just its age and what it inherently is. I own a bodyshop and auto sales, just telling you how it is with mustangs. Mustangs were my specialty until the 2011 models when i switched primarily to fiesta's because of the ease of their reconstruction and the profit margin I was/am able to make on them. goodfuldead fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Nov 30, 2014 |

Wow, I could have gotten you into a pristine 05-08GT with less miles than that for the around the same price with super light front end damage professionally repaired, if you didn't mind driving to Kentucky for it. Before anyone chimes in with lol salvaged title, when your buying something that cheap with an unknown history you might as well find a highly skilled and highly reputable repair shop that rebuild mustangs, you get so much more car for your money and if repaired professionally its almost always in better shape structurally and cosmetically than its merely 'used' counter parts. Example I sold a 05gt 5spd with 32k miles in 2010 for 9.5k and made good money. The car was in perfect shape requiring only a new fender, side skirt, front bumper, and 3 wheels (scratches). I'm not saying hit me up for business, but if you find the right shop, salvaged is where its at. you will benefit from saving money and usually come out ahead when you resale on the private market. Research it, mustangs are great vehicles to buy rebuilt.

Feeling particularly chipper today? Here, have some bad opinions. http://www.bmwblog.com/2014/12/01/gt350-shelby-throws-left-hook-m4/ quote:Will it measure up to the lush ambience of a Porsche or Ferrari? No, most certainly not. Will it feel special and give the driver a proper cockpit? Yes – and it may have entered the same universe as BMW’s M4 interior – not likely as luxurious or premium, but at least competing on the same planet, maybe even the same continent. quote:I’m perplexed why Ford didn’t build an all-aluminum Ford Mustang, instead choosing to build an all-aluminium pickup truck (the new Ford F-150). Nobody cares about lightening up a pickup – in fact for towing and snow-plowing, most owners want a heavier truck. quote:The Ford badge doesn’t hail from Europe, but Ford’s global product line is now heavily influenced and developed by its European division. The GT350 has spent quality time lapping the Nurburgring with lofty European sports car targets in its cross hairs – and that should bode well for the final production car. These are the people who drive BMWs. Also when did Porsche ever make a flat plane V8?

If you can go down to 17" you'll probably cut the price in half and not be any less safe. 19" is as small as they can go (there is also one set of 18" wheels I know to fit, but most don't) with the Brembo package. They are some unwieldy large calipers.

Anyone ever use a "SR Performance" short throw shifter? I wanted to save up $190 for the MGW as I havent heard one bad thing about it, but $75 on american muscle is a hell of a deal for a short throw. It'll be even better if I can find one of those dumb 5% off coupons that they only give out to a select few mustang forums. http://www.americanmuscle.com/stack-racing-short-shifter.html edit: Found one for 6% off, making it $70.

It just feels way more planted. The rear end doesn't jiggle over bumps like my fathers car, and the interior is awesome. I actually think the 10-14 interior is really nice too, more than I've ever wanted in a car interior, but the 15 car is a cut above. I really like the base seats, and if I had not just got a new car and was looking for a toy, I'd be at the dealer ordering a base GT.

I haven't posted in forever. I used to be a GM guy. Had a cammed 2000 Bonneville SSEi, 04 GTO A4 with only a handheld tune, and a 2009 G8 GT cammed/stalled. I turned to the darkside today and picked up a 2013 GT Premium automatic with 16k. I like to drag race, and the auto seems to be able to handle more power than the manual. Loving the car so far. Bench racing it should be almost as fast as my cammed G8 was, and it certainly feels like it. The only issue I have being a Mustang owner so far is trying to find a good forum. For the GTO and G8 they basically had 1 or 2 forums where all the information was. Mustang forums seem to be kinda scarce on some information. Mostly what mods are worthwhile. From what I can gather so far though, x-pipe and tune will be the biggest gains. Looking forward to learning more about this new-fangled DOHC technology!  Weather was crappy today so this is the best picture I got as I was leaving the dealership.
