coyote, boss 302 or Shelby

[riche]

Starting to see what is out there for around 30k. Either a few year old Gt, 2010 or older Shelby and even some boss 302's. whatever car I get I will probably keep for awhile and will get a power adder. I have not driven or been in any of them. What are your guys thoughts, I know the boss and Shelby will probably hold their value better than the Gt but are also more money

OK here's my run down……

Keeping it stock…. Boss 302
Light mods…. Shelby
Major mods…. GT

The Boss deserves to be left as it is. A balanced machine. They look to hold resale too.
The Shelby is a step above the Boss but easier to get into I believe. Respond well to pulley swaps, exhaust and tune.
The Coyote Gt will be cheap enough that you could throw a blower on it and make it the quickest of the bunch, especially with the automatic. Wont' stand out and will only go down in value.

I have a 2010 Shelby for reference. I really do like the Boss 302 though and that would be my choice, especially if you were going to sell it in the future.

15 and up Mustang back seats are horrible for anything more than looking at.

You can get a used SRT challenger for that money. Huge back seat and trunk, adjustable suspension and IRS.

BOSS for sure.

Neither. Scat Pack challenger lol.

I would go for a 2012 Shelby GT500 if they were in that price range. That is big impressive power.
