Two blown built motors later & deciding what to do now, I would have left the motor stock with the P1 Procharger & 8 lbs of boost.

Having just bought an extremely low mileage 07 GT500, if I could rewind the clock I'd have waited and bought this to begin with. Too much money wasted trying to get the anemic 4.6 to actually move the car. I've always wondered what idiot at Ford thought a 281 would get such a heavy car moving on the low end.

I would have bought a 03 Cobra or a LS2 GTO...

Damn 06 GTO prices are still really high ($19k) relative to the mustang ($14k) in my area, and the Cobras hover around $20k or more. The S197 is the best looking though.

As it is my plan is no more bolt ons, I am going suspension and blower this summer.

I would have waited and gotten that solid stripeless '11 Kona blue GT500 PP that showed up at the dealership a few months after I purchased my GT.

Leave the car with bolt-ons. Use the tons of money wasted and buy a 2013gt500 and keep stock so I could beat the shit out of it and not worry about warranty.On my 06 I literally broke everything.

Would have kept my 04 gt, and saved moneys up for a separate dd. don't get me wrong the s197 is better car no doubt, but I had that connection to my 04 regret selling it everyday

I love my car, I love the looks I get all of the time, but I wish that I would have waited and got a gt500.

I guess I should have bought a GT500, but if I did, my wife probably still wouldn't let me have gotten it yet. So I'm happy that I was able to out flank her with the GT :)

Wish I would have bought a 5.0 instead of a used 4.6 last year. Now im looking into trading in for a 5.0. if I find a good deal. But finding a good deal here in Laredo, TX is :dead2:
