Going to be a daily driver. Found a 2010 roushcharged premium gt with only 22k miles for 22.5k.
Other 2011+ for close to same price. What would you do?
I'm not sure if its running the m90 or the tvs but will find out tomorrow.
6 speed make a difference?
What about reliability?

Tough call but for me, I would go with the 5.0. Would be starting from a better base engine.

If only my budget could consist of the 5.0 with the tvs. If I get the 5.0 I doubt I'll be able to afford a blower for it at least until its paid off.

Yes, I guess I don't get your comment. You were looking for advice on whether to go with a 2010 which would have the 4.6 with a supercharger or a 2011 which would have the 5.0? The Roush would be a more exclusive car but I believe I would rather build off of the 5.0 engine. Maybe I misunderstood your post and you were looking for something else.

Sorry if I mislead you.
What I ment to ask is how do you like your 5.0. What are some benefits over the 4.6 other then raw HP.

Ah, gotcha. I do not have the new 5.0. Just an older one. I think it comes down to whether you would like to have a more exclusive car with the Roush or not. The Roush would be faster and have suspension upgrades already.
You could always add these things to the newer Mustang though and be starting with an engine making just about the same power as the supercharged 4.6.
If you never think you will have the money to put into the car I would go with the Roush.

Gotcha. Its not a true roush. Just a premium gt with the roush blower intake and exhaust.

If it were me, I'd make the decision on which car you like more based upon looks, accessories, driving feel, etc...not based upon the motor. Personally, I bought a 2010 GT last month. I went with the 2010 because I found my "perfect" GT for an amazing price. With the money I saved buying the 2010 over a 2011+, I can install a KB or Whipple and come out just about even money wise and have a bit more HP/TQ than the 5.0.

Go test drive them both and see what grabs your attention.

The 2010 that is. Its basicly the pearl red I love with the tan leather and heated seats I love. If not I'll be looking for a 2013+ gt premium
