Go drive a Corvette or a Porsche and you'll never want to be in a Mustang for performance driving again. They make fine commuters and great drag cars, but at the end of the day there are better options out there.
Not sure how much a new GT500 is going for but I have to believe you can get a low mileage C6Z06 for similar (or most likely less) coin.
You should know Ive driven both Vettes and Porsche - I like them but I do hate the way a porsche looks. Vette I love but to buy one I would have to do it before I left the states which means I would have to take a loss on the Bullitt and I wont do that.
The main reason Im even considering this is because I can sell the Bullitt in Germany for profit and the GT500 can be ordered through AAFES New Car sales at sticker or below.
I could order a vette as well but I dont want that big of a car payment.

Thanks

It is a possibility but I wont know till I get there... I still love a perfect E30 M3 more than my wife but it would have to be the right price, time, and so on.
A new M3 is also possible but it would depend on how cheap I could get one out the door through the AAFES car sales program

I would be putting about 8K or maybe 9K into it and I dont want turbo. I want Kenne Bell.
