A deal too good to pass up presented itself, so yesterday I traded in the SHO for a 2011 Mustang GT. It's an 1 owner, auto, with 46K on the clock. So far I'm really liking it. Ordering Rousch axle back for it today and in touch with LMS to get a tune for it.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Nice car!  I would have a 5.0 if it weren't for family needs.  Do lots of research before placing the first parts order.  The aftermarket support is staggering and there are definitely good, better, best choices.

nice deal. I want a new 5.0 soooo bad but need the 4 doors.

the aftermarket is full of parts and you can get into the 10s easily.

Probably less then 5k to get in the 10s if you go the nitrous route.

So what about when you need to upgrade the internals due to the power you have that running 10's takes?.....i have a twin turbo 2014 5.0 in the driveway right now.....you will have also about 2 grand in suspension upgrades. You will need a grand for a driveshaft as well lol.....havent mentioned labor yet

the new 350 sure seems tempting. If only dealers were not so greedy to manipulate the suggested msrp.
