Bought a GT500

[Jus Cruisin]

So, I broomed my 1969 Camaro and wanted to replace it with some sort of late model muscle. Looked at Hellcats, ZL1's and Shelby GT500 's.. Couldn't say no to this one. A 2011 GT500 with 2,700 miles on it. Zero mods. The only option is the SVT performance package (bigger wheels, suspension, 3.73 gears). It's virtually brand new.

Beautiful, care to say what it set you back?

Less than $40,000, all in, with taxes, tag, registration. Varsity Ford in Ann Arbor. Just got lucky. My niece is good friends with the GM at Varsity Lincoln and told him I was in the market for a Shelby or Roush Mustang. This car was owned by a friend of the GM at the Ford dealership. They ran it through the Ford deale as a consignment car. The only service records were the airbag recalls. No warranty work or anything. Still has a new car smell.

Which engine did you have in your 69 Camaro? (350, 396, 427)

Nice! That's an awesome car and future collector.

None of the above. . It had a 502

It would have been a keeper if I kept 3 or 4 vehicles. But I decided 2 are plenty at this time. The Mustang will be able to be a toy and double as a grocery getter in a pinch.

Good looking camaro, but now you have comfort and speed. Had a 2008 Gt500, miss it all the time, will own another at some point.

So which black shines better? Your Ram...or the Super Snake?

Beautiful!

And with 2700 miles, aka a pedestrian dozen, it's barely broken in.

2011 is when they went to an aluminum block. Add a tvs blower, throttle body and cai and you'll be mid to high 600s for rwhp. I had a 12 with those mods and had to run drag radials on the street to keep it from sending me sideways in the 1st 3 gears.

That's gorgeous! I've had a bunch of mustangs but once I had a little one I got away from it. My most memorables were my 2004 Cobra, 2004 Mach I, 2008 Bullitt and a 1992 SSP that I restored. Good stuff!

Ha ha, to be honest, the Ram had a better shine when I got the Mustang in my garage. It had 9 years of being wiped off with not much polishing. That's all straightened out. I spent about 5-6 hours with my Porter Cable on it. It's shining just fine now. The Ram is also standing tall. I take the P/C to it twice a year. Just finished that earlier in the month. It's now ready to get "destroyed" going through car washes from November til March.

Alternative Performance is less than 5 miles from my home and they have a large Mustang following. I'm trying to convince myself that I have all I need performance wise but......
I am figuring on lowering and replacing the wheels and tires next spring.

Hehe nice, I guess the young Ram will still have the advantage in the shine department lol. Nothing a little Turtle Wax ICE won't help with too! Or try the Blazin Banana spray wax from Chemical guys...that brought out the black in my F150 pretty well too.
