Question Should I sell my 2011 5.0?

I currently have a 2011 mustang 5.0 as my weekend cruiser, while the car is a blast to drive I have run across a great deal on a 2010 Shelby gt500. With only 2700 on the odometer my car is pretty much brand new (and it's paid off), then again so is the Shelby as it only has 870 miles on it. The person is asking 40k for the Shelby... My question is should I sell my 5.0 and pick up the Shelby, or should I just keep what I have. Any thoughts, opinions, or information is appreciated.

5.4L supercharged DOHC 32-valve V8... It was the last year that they used the iron block, they went to an aluminum block in 2011.

I drove a Boss 302 the other day bc I kept hearing how FAST the new 5.0s were. So the Boss would had been even FASTER. Not REMOTELY impressed. Same lot had an 08 Shelby GT500 and I drove it. I damn near bought the Cobra and wouldnt even CONSIDER the 5.0. My perspective...

Didnt say "way faster". Said "faster". Either way, it felt like a slug.

Depends on how much you would owe buying the gt500 since the 5.0 is paid off. If it were me I would just supercharged the gt and mod it since it is paid off but a Shelby s bad *** to own and can easily be a beast with simple mods.

The only real question to ask yourself is, "Which do I want more?"

Kbb and edmunds value the car at 31,500... If I can get that, I would have to come out of pocket 8,500 dollars. I've yet to mod the car with the exception of fords tune because I don't want to jeopardize my warranty.

dependng on the options you have on your 5.0, you can get them new for around 28k.

It's a premium coupe with a six speed automatic trans. It has everything except for the power passenger seat and heated seats... When I bought the car, the sticker price was just over 39k.

LOL! You need to read up on them. They are capable of trapping 115-117mph stock. I'd consider that quite a bit faster than the 5.0's 110 mph.
