Should I trade my Z For a Shelby or 5.0

5.0 with SC = stealth compared to a gt500

Very good point, esp when you're racing for pinks...

Lemers...

Though I love the 5.0, I would say go for the GT500. It's what I wanted, but can't afford just yet. My next one will be though. Going with a 5.0 and SC'ing is also an option... Both will be "exclusive" and "special" but the GT500 will just add more eye candy to those around you.

That said, I'm not positive it is what I would go with if I was dropping 50k...although I would consider it if it was my only car I guess.


For my uses, the 5.0 offers far more power than I need, I think the 5.0 is a vastly superior motor. I would probably go with the 5.0 and the factory supercharger over a gt500 as well.

On the other hand, there's something special about owning a gt500. that supercharged 5.4 sounds absolutely nasty.
Agree, Dan.

That's why I traded my Z in, Lemers... backseat for kids to come enjoy my toy car with me.




Dan, Steve... my 5.0 got pushed up to arrive next week or so. Will post a thread when it comes in. I can hardly contain myself.
