2011 Shelby GT 500 with a 9" rearend (would you or wouldn't you)?

**multistangs** · 02-14-2012, 02:34 PM

I'm researching the pros and cons of putting a 35 spline, Strange 9" rearend in my Shelby. I know I said I didn't want to mod the car but what the hell. I want this thing to hook without me having to worry about it. My question to the general public is would you consider buying a used Shelby with a 9" rearend in it. The rearend I'm looking at has a 3:70 Pro-street gear, 35 spline axles, S-trac, Pro Nodular Iron Carrier, and a few more upgrades in a bolt-in 9" housing. Would you consider this mod a plus or a minus in used car value (in general). Not that I'm looking to sale it now, I'm just wondering what you guys think about this mod. I'm not looking for 8.8" vs 9" pros and cons, just what would you think about buying a used car with a 9" rearend in it. This is looking like a $3-3500 upgrade. This is basically the rearend that is in the Cobra Jet car. What do you think.

If the price is right I would do it Keith. With the power that those cars can make I would like to not worry about breaking the rear end.

do it, keep the stock stuff, put it back to stock when you sell.

This would make it harder to change to a 2013 model. I should have known I wouldn't like it stock for very long. The 2013 model is going to need this change even more than the 2011-12's need it.
