Stage 3 Power package w/ Super Charger

The price goes from around $50k to $60k depending on how optioned the GT was to begin with.

It would compete better with the 2012 GT500 but not the 2013. My other option would be buy a GT 5.0 and build it the way I want it. In the end a Roush still has a GT VIN number.
So if you had to rank those options in terms of what you want to what you'd accept...

1. GT500
2. Stage 3 Roush
3. 5.0 built your way?


Are the Boss302 or Laguna Seca editions even on the table, or are those worthless? (I'm not a mustang gearhead, so forgive me if that's a dumb question)

The 302s are supposed to be great handling cars and meant for track (more so of the Laguna Seca (LS)). They don't other the luxury items I expect in a $45+k car. The LS even has rear seat delete. They are like the NISMO is stripped down interior and increased suspension.

I want Nav, leather, and glass roof. The boss others none of these.

The GT500 is a beast. A SC 5.8 engine with 662 HP and 600 lbs torque. A 202 top speed (under better than perfect conditions). It has electronically adjustable suspension with settings for sport or track.
The way I would option the car it would be $62k MSRP. 60k warranty from ford.

The Roush stage 3 would probably be around $57 to $60k the way I want it optioned. It would have 525 hp with a SC It carries a 3/36k warranty Roush authorized ford dealers

Building my own the GT would cost me around $37k the way I want it optioned. Then I'd get the Boss suspension and exhaust for sure. Then comes the real question the stage 1 SC or stage 2. The stage 1 is 525hp and I believe has some kind of warranty. The stage 2 is 624 HP but no warranty.

When you break it down like that (thanks) I can see the dilemma.

I guess it comes down to (with the options you want) buying a built car from the dealer complete with warranty, or building it yourself... warranty optional.

With those options, I would face the fact the GT500 is the best option (IMO) and hold out. But my impatience would start to wear at my resolve... lol

Lemers don't think you would be "settling" you'd be happy with either. I can speak from experience the ZL1 is all that. Have to go for a couple hours check back later.

Didn't mean any hate. It's a potent car, I'm just not a fan of all the retro bodies, that's all.
