(Less than 25-30k price to avoid making too many payments

3: jump into a v8 2015 and get hit with higher insurance and monthly payments
4: Buy a deeply discounted 2014 GT

5: Buy my 2001 supercharged Bullitt



Good luck!

Yea it might be awhile but its got me real interested. The price and mileage combo along with those upgrades and power, thats hard to resist.

You got quite a car yourself there! I really really miss my 02. Yea the new 5.0 is such an awesome motor and its capabilities match a 03-04 cobras without the need for a supercharger, it just doesnt have the same feel.

Something about that old 4.6 and its SOHC two valve per cylinder motor just sounded right. It mightve been the firing order and how it was timed, bur the raw visceral feel and sound i got when mashing the pedal and lighting up the tires just cant be beat. Not to mention the looks. Unlike the fox body, while it didnt quite look like any mustang before, it was very well acceoted by even the general public. The lines were sharp but it oozed with tire shredding power (in the v8's case). It could fit some FAT rear tires and it wouldnt look silly. You could drop it with coilovwr and it looks poised ready for the kill.
I could hear my old car from over a block away (borla s-type with custom h-pipe) and it just sounded angry when under load, hell it sounded angry at idle! My dream car is a 67-69 fastback (preferably Mach 1) but the SN95 is definitely in the top 5. I really really loved that car. Thats why i literally broke down and cried after some jackwad ran a stop sign at 60 (i was going 45 which was speed limit) and hit me almost head on. My 02 just crumpled but it saved my life. And kept enough fight in it to finish playing Dont Stop Believin by Journey which us one of my cruise songs.

RIP Warhorse

I do admit my 98 Cobra sounds so much better than my 2012 GT. But the stupid easy power the new 5.0 makes is nuts. $1500 in parts and it's easily into the 11's

It seriously is stupid power for easy coin. Almost reminds me of how easy it was to make power with the 03-04 cobras.

The new 5.0's just dont have that old school muscle car growl and rumble the 93-10 models had. That 4.6 had alot of hidden potential

You have until I get my 2015 or I change my mind and decide to trade in my 2010 for the 2015. I took a ride in it a few weeks ago and got Bullitt fever again

By the way, on the topic of this thread, I have studied every photo I have of the 2015 and would say that I still love BOTH it and my 2010. The 2010 I mainly bought because I loved the styling update from my '07 GT.

Actually, I wish I still had my '07 GT - ugh!

I know I am late to this thread but I went and picked up a 2014 GT after the release of the Sn550. I like the look of the Sn550, but for me personally I couldn't resist the styling of the 13-14 and that is what I wanted. To me the 11-14 screams full blown american muscle! The Sn550 while still being a mustang still seems a little more on the euro side and that just isn't what I wanted when I was going for the Mustang!

I didn't even realize I did this, must have been autocorrect from my phone, and thanks for the welcome!

Still debating on putting in a pre-order for a Grabber Orange GT Convertible.. will have to see what pricing comes out to and such later. In my head, I see a Grabber Orange GT, with Black LeMans stripes and it looks so awesome.

I liked it so much that the 2013 Shelby is already gone and I am saving for a yellow 2015 'vert GT

I can see why people like the S550... the rear end looks really sharp. Personally, every time I see a Fusion at my dealer- or in my rear view mirror- I just become increasingly disappointed that Ford copped out and cloned the front end onto the Mustang.

Hopefully, some aftermarket company will figure out that a significant percentage of Mustang enthusiasts despise/loathe the front end and there will be some sort of front clip created. When that happens, I will probably get a LOT more excited about the S550.
