A 2 year old GT500 will be worth $15 to 20k less than new. My almost 2 year old GT is worth $6k less than the $27.5k new price. Percentage wise maybe the same but not by dollars.

I'm thinking about getting manual transmission 2011+ GT convertible or Shelby GT500 convertible. Are there any issues with 2011 GTs? What should I know about them? Same questions for 2005+ 5.4L Shelby. Thanks.

Thats funny, that is almost the same reason i'm looking to buy a new 5.0. The company I work for has a 2008 Corvette as a company car. I had the privilege of using the car for a weekend this last fall. Well I just fell in love with it, and got the "need for speed" if you know what i mean. I originally was looking at used c6 vettes then I somehow stumbled across the 0-60 times for the new 5.0's. Long story short, i'm sold on the new mustangs. Can't wait to order!!
