3. 5.0 built your way?


Are the Boss302 or Laguna Seca editions even on the table, or are those worthless? (I'm not a mustang gearhead, so forgive me if that's a dumb question)
The 302s are supposed to be great handling cars and meant for track (more so of the Laguna Seca (LS)). They don't other the luxury items I expect in a $45+k car. The LS even has rear seat delete. They are like the NISMO is stripped down interior and increased suspension.

I want Nav, leather, and glass roof. The boss others none of these.

The GT500 is a beast. A SC 5.8 engine with 662 HP and 600 lbs torque. A 202 top speed (under better than perfect conditions). It has electronically adjustable suspension with settings for sport or track.
The way I would option the car it would be $62k MSRP. 60k warranty from ford.

The Roush stage 3 would probably be around $57 to $60k the way I want it optioned. It would have 525 hp with a SC It carries a 3/36k warranty Roush authorized ford dealers

Building my own the GT would cost me around $37k the way I want it optioned. Then I'd get the Boss suspension and exhaust for sure. Then comes the real question the stage 1 SC or stage 2. The stage 1 is 525hp and I believe has some kind of warranty. The stage 2 is 624 HP but no warranty.

You got that figured out? I'm interested in what other products you might have.

When you break it down like that (thanks) I can see the dilemma.

I guess it comes down to (with the options you want) buying a built car from the dealer complete with warranty, or building it yourself... warranty optional.

With those options, I would face the fact the GT500 is the best option (IMO) and hold out. But my impatience would start to wear at my resolve... lol
