well as some as u know in the forums i have been researching whether to do up my 4.6L and supercharge my gt or drop in a 5.0L and supercharge that. I and a friend on the weekend we at the local SVT dealer and after looking at a new 2012 with the hood up in the show room. He said this (u should put one of these in stead for there is no replacement for displacement, and its already supercharged). Now here is my question the Gt500 comes stock with most of the upgrades i want to put on my GT for example: supercharger, big brake kit, up graded suspension, 18 to 19" wheels and wide tires, cai, and if i remember right hust shifter just to name a few of the things i want to change on my GT.

Would i just be better off upgrading to a 2007 to 2009 GT500 i realize the GT500 would be stock, were if i did the 4.63vGT it would be a custom car, but with this day and age one has to look at what he wants and the cost of doing it and get the best value for there money. so any ideas, debate on pros or cons ether way would be helpful.

 

Go for the GT500 dude. You got a stronger foundation to work with, it's crazy fast right out of the box, probably still be faster than a built GT with all the money spent on new parts and you already mentioned it's got all the stuff you want on it. Besides, hopped up GT's are a dime a dozen, but how many GT500's are out there? Good for re-sale if you ask me. If you can pull it off, why waste the money building a GT when you could go even faster with less work on the GT500???

 

A whole lot less headaches going with the 500 if you ask me.

 

Thanks for the info and I be giving lots of thought, but as it sits right now I'm leaning toward the gt500

 

Would be a nice upgrade.

 

Go with the GT500 and then slap a big Kenne Bell on it and blow the doors off anything on the road.

 

I'd go with the GT500 over modding a 4.6 GT for sure. It will cost you less in the end and it will hold it's value better.

 

I tend to thnk the 500 is engineered to handle hp more so than a stock 4.6/5.0

 

That is true like forged internals for example

 

thank you thank you very much bwah
