I have a problem. I'm addicted to GT500's. Every time I sell one, I start craving another a few months later. This is the one I want to keep. I went back to this body style because I honestly prefer the way the car feels over the 2011+. I got a really good deal on it and I don't think I could find another one for the same price. So here we go, 08 GT500. Completely stock other than the KR Wheels and aftermarket radio.

Plans are:
VMP Gen 2 TVS
ID 1000's, possibly E85
Full exhaust(probably bassani)
Vossen wheels
Stripe delete

We'll see what else comes up along the way. It does need some very light cosmetic work, but nothing I can't get done along the way.
On to the pics:

Nice, congrats! Your black 07-09 was my favorite. Look forward to your build with this one.

Congrats! Nice choice in colors too!

I'd love to hear what you prefer between the 07-09 and 11-12 models. The prices are still dropping, so the 11-12s are becoming affordable, and the 07-09s are becoming VERY affordable!

I'm in a similar boat and want to go back to the '05-09 gen w/either another Bullitt or GT500. I test drove the latter about a month ago and fell for the supercharger whine & power- pretty awesome. I'm now shopping for a white w/blue or blue w/white '08-09 GT500 but have to sell my '14 GT first.

Good luck w/your new-to-you ride.

Wow, congrats!
As far as blowers, don't discount the cheaper '13-'14 TVS's ... With some light elbow porting and a smaller pulley they can put down some nasty numbers

Soooo...finally drove it today when it stopped raining... Clutch is slipping. :( Not how I wanted to start this build, but I guess it's as good of a time as any to put an RXT in it.

Congrats! I dig the color combo. Why no stripes on the rear bumper cover?

I must say, I just can't imagine stepping down from a '13 back to an '08. To me, that'd be like stepping down from a Coyote to a 3V.

MAN YOU SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. That is awesome. Congrats! I have had my little GT for almost 5 years, which is about 5 times as long as any other vehicle I have had. Hell I bought an F250 4 months ago, and now I am already looking to sell it.
