If you "acquired" a GT500 would you sell the 5.0

[Nopantz]

So what would you do just like it said. If you were given not buy a brand new GT500 would you keep your trusty 5.0 or sell it and go nuts.

I am have been asking myself this in my head all day and I cant say yet that I would sell the 5.0 even though selling it would free up a few grand for mods to the GT500.

Just wondering what everyone has to say...

 

[Ozz]

Hell no, it'd just have a new stablemate

 

[StangerT]

People may think I am nuts, but I would rather have my LX than a GT 500, not to say thet the GT 500 isn't sweet, just doesn't appeal to me that much... I would sell the GT 500

Id put the Gt500 motor in a stang.

Ya know as awesome as the Shelby is, to me it's just another new Mustang that i can't afford and probably never will if the prices and demand keep up like they are. I'm more likely to buy an '03 Cobra before i ever look into a Shelby. Would i give up my coupe for an '03 Cobra? Probably...but it would hurt real deep

I'd do it because i'm going to be on the hunt for an '03 because that was the year my son was born and i'm damned determined to get one and keep it in good shape so it can be his first car.

omg... my 5-0 would be so freakin bad after i sold that gt 500!!
I'd play with the 500 for a week or so.

 

[Ozz]

Oh I didn't notice we could sell it. My bad. Then I'd keep and drive it for a bit, sell it and replace it with an older S351 and/or build a killer sleeper notch.

My friends mom has one, and they are badass cars. Id sell my teal daily driver and use the GT500, and have two pretty nice cars!

 

[Turkey Sammich]

I would keep both my 5.0 & 500. I would pull a few runs at the track, and weekends here & there in the 500. It would remain stock, garaged, & given tlc. And I will continue driving the hell out of the 5oh.

 

[RsStanG1987]

For the money the gt500 costs you can have like 10 5.0's that are faster..

 

[Ozz]

And for the same cost you can build one faster than all of 'em

 

[310stanger]

Id keep both cars. Itd be nice to have a new car thats more powerful, more driveable, and quieter. Then to have all the merits of my 5.0 when I want them. The 5.0 isnt leaving anytime soon though.

 

[poneypower89]

I wouldnt even try and sell the fox... off to the crusher it would go.

(as long as the GT500 was *acquired* for free that is.)

 

[91ghp5.0]

I think I would drive the GT500 for a week or so, and sell it. Then I would make two bad ass notches (1 road race and 1 drag) and buy a nice DD.

 

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

Ya know if i got it for free, i just might be crazy enough to gut the whole damn car and swap it all onto my coupe

A 1985 Shelby GT500!

Wouldn't swapping such a heavy motor into a fox make it ridiculously nose-heavy? I mean, that motor is already too heavy for the GT 500, and the fox weighs much less.

People put lightning motors in Foxes.. They arent that nose heavy..

 

[fox-gt]

no

 

[JGT]

Yeah, I'd sell the GT500 and through the money into my fox too.

You know I have been in a similar situation the last couple of weeks. I can get an 07 my bro bought with our Ford discount for what he owes. It has a Hellion kit on it. The problem is that I am on a "fixed" income since our plant closing. I know what I have coming in and what I have going out. I want the car but I hate the thought of a payment or getting rid of my 90. I know what is in my 90 GT and I have thought of getting rid of it and doin the deal.
