Calypsoi am looking at 2011 and 2012 also... I would like a 5.0... But i do like the Gotta have it green
onlycoderedDon't get a 2011 if you want a manual transmission. The early 2011's had some issues. Mine includes all but one of the fixes and after getting the fluid changed as per a TSB I've had no problems with it. Smooth as butter. If you want a 2012 get one that was built after July 2011.
CalypsoThanks alot for the info... This new body style is all new to me... how are the 2010s other then having the 4.6 still?
onlycoderedA 2010 GT will only be slightly quicker than the new V6 so I would not recommend going that route. The 2010 has the old 5-speed transmission too. A 2012 5.0 is probably the best choice. Parts for the 2010 can be weird too seeing as its sorta an ugly duckling.
ROUSH 42010 GT transition car , go 2011 or higher. The 2013 is the completed S197. It has all the goodies etc. The overstyling is an issue. I dont like the painted rear diffuser and the front fasica should have remained with the GT500. Like the rear lights. The 5.0 is in 2011. I Supercharged my 4.6L because of this.
