Good morning folks! I'm happy to say I'm in the market for a 2011-12 GT. That year because if I'm doing it, I need a Coyote and 6 spd.
Since I've joined in 1998, there is always great info here, and I'm looking for more. I want to know what packages or codes to find in a GT that gives me the best performance for the buck. Brembo package, 3.55-3.73 rear, and any other check offs to look for while I'm shopping.
Any info or links to help me is appreciated. Good to be back in a 5.0, I've been playing with turbo Subaru's the past couple of years, and need to get back to my roots.

Buy a 3 valve and go Kenne Bell. We're pretty much over 'roots' blowers.

Seems like you know what you are doing , Brembos package, 3:73s & 6spd is going to give you the best performance for you money.Many will say I'm wrong about the 6spd and that for drag racing an auto is a better choice, but to me a manual is the only way to fly.
Good luck and welcome back.

Haha, yes Noobz, these I'd rather be screwed by twins.

Thanks SVTpilot. I like that combo you listed. I've looked at 4 with this package in the past week and every time I call, they're sold. I need to move faster on these things!
