I will be getting my first Social Security check in 7 days, so I am going to sell my 2006 GTO (Red, 6.0, 400 hp, 6 speed, all stock, 48,000 miles, one owner). I have narrowed my choice to 2 cars....which do you guys think I should get? Choice #1 Cadillac CTS V Coupe, 6 speed (of course), Crystal Red, Recaro seats ( about $71,000 before discounts) or, Choice #2 Shelby GT 500 (Deep Impact Blue, recaro seats, stripe delete) @ $56,590 MSRP, no discounts on these. Don't worry, I'm keeping the Ram SRT-10. I would leave the Cadillac stock. If I go for the Mustang, I will do the following: Long tube headers, JLT intake, catless X-pipe, lower pulley, Cobra Jet Throttle Body, a custom tune, and 4.10 gears. I would expect the dyno to be in the 725-750 rwhp range. So do I cruise in comfort or cruise in a 10 second Mustang?
I will be going to some new heads and cam (at least) on the SRT-10 and I expect it to be in the high 10's . I also have a 2000 Firehawk that we are building a 433 cu. in. stroker (should be about 650 rwhp) that I will race also (it will be at least 500 lbs lighter than the Mustang.
