Which Mustang would you buy/build/own

[Shorty429]

i can't wait to graduate college and get my hands on a 2011 GT!!!!

[INSANELY CRAZY]

Just not in the normal price range even though the the new 2011 is going to be in th 30k range. But even a 07 used shelby is over 30k easy. Nice car though none the less.

your op says forget about money??? guess you meant forget about money up to a certain point?

get what ya like and can afford

Yeah it does sound contradicting doesn't it. I meant out of the choices listed. IDK. I think I'm just in the mid winter project blues already.

Either 05-09GT or "none of the above"

Id be willing to give the 3.5 used in the twin turbo SHO. Id be willing to bet the motor will be quite stout, but whether the AWD would grenade under mods is something to be seen.

plus youd have the stealth factor with the SHO

03-04 cobra for sure! and what you said is exactly what i am building mine into right now, just with a little bit of show to go with mine too.

SN95 since 5 lug and 8.8 rear.
lq4 with 4l80 trans
BW s400 turbo

at least that is my plan some day

mine too

2011 GT for me, Ford is finally getting back to its roots. No greedy shelby logos and cheaper pricing. Bang for the buck on these cars is going to be insane. Add a little boost to the higher compression 4V and its on.

I'm geeked up just thinking about it. I saw a black one at the mall today, soooo sweet.

I'm sure he meant 2010 as the 2011's are not scheduled for sale to this spring sometime according to the website. From what I saw other than the 5.0 badges it will look just like the 2010 does now. Which makes sense they just revamped the S197 platform for 2010. It's all about the drivetrain for 2011. They may offer a few special colors maybe or trim packages but I wouldn't look for any major cosmetics. I've always liked the look of the Retro Stang. Not real crazy for the rear of the 2010 though. Needs help if you ask me. IMO.

typo- it was a 2010!

[phillysrt4]

^^ no worries.

Did anyone see an anticipated sale date for 2011's? If I had to guess I'd say June but that's 100% a guess

[turbo'dnotch]

I will throw in on this....My next,( and last ) project is going to be a fox coupe. It is going to have a 500+ ci big block with a single turbo, a 2 speed glide. The target HP is around 1500 with times in the low 8's and driveability.
Project "LAST CALL". This is my last complete build as i have had 41 different stangs ranging from 65' to 03'

[biminiLX]

For true daily driveability, I'd take the '03-04 Cobra with a 3.4L Whipple, twin disk and beefed IRS. I really miss my black '04 :(

[scott5]

why not an 03/04 mach 1, use the extra money you will be saving from buying an cobra which would be around 8k and throw a turbo, full suspension, built tranny, and keep it looking stock

[65 Fastback]

03-04 cobra

No doubt about it! (still love my '65 though).
