Our GT500 is soon to have a new owner. We were in need of a larger car. Wife liked the Equinox but I could not stand the thought of it. It was a nice family SUV-like vehicle and give GM credit on a well made unit. Our other option was the Challenger. Local dealer was offering $6.5K in rebates/incentives which brought it in under $30K with the options we were looking for.
Kids now have plenty of room and we don't feel so neutered. 
She wanted an automatic which was fine with me as they seem to post better 1/4 mile times. Already have a list of mods planned out over the next few months however the Mustang comes first. What is left over will go towards the Challenger upgrades.  |
If your primary concern for the Stang was a strip car, then why didn't you keep the GT500 over the 5.0? It would seem to have a lot more potential for a budget-minded weekend warrior. That was a curious choice you made there.
