What do you guys think?

I'm contemplating trading my 2010 in for it.

I'm a fan of new chassis so I vote yes. That price does seem high to me too.

And that was a general 'yes' for me too. I'd also suggest looking at '16s instead. With the '17s rolling around, the price difference between '15s and '16s is relatively small. I'd suggest a track pack if you can find the right one.

Do the '15 models have the gen 2 coyote?

The performance pack is brakes and the torsen diff?

Ok, cool. I'm weighing the options. Do I pay off the $2500 I still owe on my 2010 and then just do a coyote swap on it or do I upgrade? Decisions, decisions...

Personally, I wouldn't choose to swap when there are cars with the same body style that already have the coyotes in them. Prices between the '10 GTs and '11 or '12s aren't that different. In the end it would probably cost more to perform the swap, even if you got good prices on the coyote and sale of the 3V.

Good luck deciding.

If I do the swap I plan on upgrading a lot of the components powertrain wise.

The biggest reason why its looking like I won't be selling it is I would really like the extra $500 dollars a month I'm paying on it now.

That coupled with the fact that I can lower my insurance a little will allow me to save up for a newer drivetrain as well as upgraded stuff.

As always I appreciate your advice @Grant 302 and I will be sure to plan out the swap and keep an eye on the potential cost.

It's not a performance pack. The one pp car was a premium and was just too expensive. This is just a base with an awesome paint job.
