Make up my mind for me...

So recently, Ive come to a halt on modifying the Mustang.

Im starting to think its time to sell this car and forge a new project from scratch.

So here is what I'm thinking:

1.) Send the car to Livernois, have them put a 323 stroker crate engine, stage 3 heads, etc etc etc and keep it. Even though its got 67,000 miles on it. :(

2.) Try to part with my first Mustang and find a GT500 with low miles. Mod-bug starts over with a Snake.

3.) Again, Part with the '05 and look for a Terminator, Mod bug starts over... once again.

4.) Do nothing. Ride it out, enjoy the car for what its worth.

Suggestions? GT500s just keep looking better and better... but what am I gaining? Im starting over at the same HP/TQ that I'm already at... Well.... Somewhat closer..

Oh yes... thats a 2007-2009 GT500...

I really don't like the 2010+ :(

I would go with #3 or #4.

#3 - You can get into a terminator for less cash up front than a GT500 and end up making comparable hp after the mod bug.

#4 - I wouldn't want to put a new motor in a car that has only 67k on it. Plus you have a car that is probably enjoyable to drive and easy to own right now. I think if you do all that to your car some of the dependability/streetability/carefree factor may go away, not to mention the lightening of your wallet.

I love terminators but I say #2!

You can find low mile GT500's in the low 30's now and for less than $2,500 for bolt on mods (SCT, 2.6 upper Pulley, 10% OD lower pulley, CAI, and a bigger throttle body) you can get 600rwhp! .... now you're going to need all that HP because they are heavy PIGS
