Need unbiased opinions on new ride?
Thinking about getting rid of the Shelby for something with more room. I've narrowed it down to 3 cars. All cars are used.
1. 2009 Audi A5 - S-line 14K mileswith all options. Including Leather/Perforated Alcantara Seats.

2. 2006 BMW M5 - 35K miles all the Goodies aswell

3. 2006 E55 - 39K miles all the Goodies except the pano roof.

Note that the photos are just for reference not the exact cars.

I like the look and the styling of the Audi better than the other two. Everyone has a BMW, or at least around here they are very common, and the Mercedes reminds me of a Mom car. Just my .02. All nice cars though!
Audi is sexy but too small, also very slow.
BMW is the faster of the three, worst fuel economy though.
Merc second fastest, about the same room as the bimmer, biggest trunk, better gas mileage than the bimmer, also easier to tune for power, intake + pulley + tune = over +100RWHP.
I Vote E55 the choice is obvious.

Not the answer you wanted, I'm sure, but I'd keep the Mustang and buy a used Suburban beater for haulin' the hunting dogs or whatever.
Your Shelby sounds almost perfect to me.

Got an lifted F250 for all the offroading and hunting. I also have a VW for a dd. The Wife has a Denali as her dd and family wagon. Just wanted to get something I could take on trips since the Denali has around 100K miles on it. My Shelby is fun but the Exhaust and really only passenger room for 3 means if I add a 4th its only going to be for short distances as I have to move my seat up alot and the exhaust drone can get annoying when trying to have normal conversations some time. Im 6'2" it suprised me how much room was in the A5 really the same as an A4 Avant that I looked at also.
