Should I spring for a 2013 Shelby, or stick with a nice 2011/12?

  • 2011/12 - you wont notice the extra HP unless you are running from a helicopter

  • 2013 - Hands down a step up from the 2011/12. If you can afford it, no reason to think twice

Guys,

The purgatory of engineering school, the relentless hours of busting my ass at work and the years of eating canned tuna have finally paid off. I'm getting the car that I've dreamed about owning for a long time, and I want to get as much input as possible. I'm looking at a 2011-12 Shelby, but could swing a 2013 if I fell in love and convinced myself it was worth the extra dough. My love affair with mustangs started with a 98 gt convertible, so I'm strongly considering a vert. Anyone got a strong opinion they'd like to share? Thanks guys.

Get a Boss 302!! Just kidding. I would say if you can swing it then get the '13.

IF you can afford it, got with 13/14 however the 11/12's are good too. You can make insane power with 07-09 too but you're missing some chassis refinements.
