Out of those two cars, I would pick the GT500, because it doesn't have the newer spy on the driver features, cheap PWTA cylinder bores, direct injection, I don't like the newer Mustang manual transmission gearing.. the list goes on.
However, I prefer the ride and handling of the IRS post 2015 Mustangs by far over the S197s and the Mach 1 is a great handling vehicle. If the roads are smooth and nice in your area, you will be fine in the GT500 And especially you will be fine if you are mostly taking it easy with a few straight line full throttle blasts every once in a while.
I personally would buy a 2015-2017 Mustang GT and modify it to be what I want. And I would work on the mods with my kid so the kid ends up feeling nostalgic about the car and actually will want to own and drive it later in life.
More than 2 cents - I hope it's helpful. Most important is to do what YOU want and what will make you happy. Definitely test drive more than one of each car and take your time with the decision. Research, think on it. Either will be used at this point, so there's no rush.
Good luck!
