I know these are two unlikely choices, and each choice has its own forum. I figured each forum would have obvious bias so I'm posting here. I'm very serious and going to do one very soon.
I have driven my 2019 Bullitt well over a year and love love it. Love everything about it other than sometimes a little grind shifting 2nd-3rd (adding a shorter throw if i decide to keep it). BUT, i love new things, I want more power, and lust after the GT500. I have several options to get one quickly at very little over MSRP and money not the real issue. I know about both cars and Mustangs in general very well.
I've never owned a forced induction car in my 48 years. I've read and heard the arguments between superchargers and turbos (twin) for many years and am well acquainted and which system I ended up with doesn't play into my decision. I believe both have great advantages and few disadvantages and really its just a way for enthusiasts like us to have fun arguing .
I HATE idea of giving up my beautiful Bullitt and giving up the fun of a manual. I've never ever modded a recent year model car in my life (under the hood that is). I want to go faster with STRONG acceleration. I love new tech. I love latest and greatest. I love history. I have a 67 fastback in the "shop" for 4 years being restored and tying up a fortune and don't want 3 mustangs. Ok, I want them but I have 5 kids and a wife, and there has to be a limit somewhere before we turn to ramen nightly.
So those are the only 2 choices for me. Not too interested in other options like, "why don't you just trade them both and buy a......?" or "those are dumb choices, why would you.....?" Any suggestions related to my 2 choices sure welcome appreciated. Thanks in advance!
