  Sweetness - 2008 Ford Shelby GT500
  By Tlang - July 12 - 6:13 am

  I saw my first dream car when I was 15. A red conv Shelby GT 500. All I could think was someday! I have since owned other performance cars including Corvettes, Camaros, Saleens at 560hp. All of which I was and remain impressed with. What can I Say,I am a 12yr old gear head with a decent job that lets me play. Then I got my 2008 Vapor GT500 Conv. My wife will tell you I cant say enough about it. The GT500 was awesome, But I felt it lacked immediate throttle response. A Evolution Perfomance kit (Air Intake, smaller pulley 4psi boost, and a re-program for a quick 640hp)put me into pure wow mode. The GT500 has looks open roof and real power. I am living my American Dream

  This is my 8th mustang including an 03 Cobra and 08 Bullitt. This car is outstanding in all areas and I am super impressed with the build quality and performance. I have owned 40 cars and this one is in the top 3.

  This is one bad car! You can feel all of the 510 pounds of torque. If your tires dont go up in smoke! This car is so fun to drive, you just dont want to get out of it!

  Head Turner - 2010 Ford Shelby GT500
  By Mike Watson - December 16 - 9:00 pm

  This is my sons dream car, and I was very lucky in purchasing an example in the middle east where I reside. This is the first American muscle car I have owned and Im not disappointed. The car is "visceral" in every sense.Aggressive and bold styling, European quality leather interior and great handling make this vehicle a pleasure to own and a real head turner.I believe this model will be an appreciating modern classic. Mid life crisis,bring it on!

  Ive owned and driven many high po cars. This one is special in many ways. Critics complain of break fade. Ive not experienced any even though pushing the car hard. Turn in is excellent mid corner and exit excellent,yes bumps can upset solid axel but its predictable and controllable. Even irs cars can be upset with bumps. Ford chose gearing it high for a good reason. People always look at 0-60, 1/4 mile, and top end. Ford made first gear tall so they did not have to shift going to 2nd. Saves time get excellent time. Same with 1/4 mile. And 200mph top end with 3:31 gear. Then there is better gas milage no gas gusler tax all good marketing for ford.a lower gear would be a plus.

  Its 1969 once again! - 2009 Ford Shelby GT500
  By Steve - October 30 - 8:56 pm

  My 1st new car was a 69 Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet. My Shelby brings back those memories like it was yesterday. The only difference is this car is faster and corners better. Its even more fun to drive. Its so much easier to get more horsepower out of this supercharged motor than it was in the old days. I had to put a high lift cam, add headers and a 750 Holly carb to run high 12s in the quarter. All Ive done to this car is add a Steeda 2.7 pulley, a cold air induction kit and a custom SCT tune. All of a sudden mid 11s. RWH at 548 and torque at 505. Im told flywheel H.P should be somewhere around 630 and torque 590. These bolt on adds took about 4 hours to do. What a difference!

  By Craig - October 13 - 11:10 pm

  This is the car that only Ford and Carroll Shelby could build. It has the head turning good looks from the mid sixties Shelbys and the refinements of todays suspension and safety features all rolled into a package that is amazing!

  Retro Power with Comfort - 2007 Ford Shelby GT500
  By Blue Witch - July 1 - 8:36 pm

  Previosly owned 6-7 Vettes (73-95), plus early 70s Formula Firebirds and late 70s Trans Ams. While powerful, only the 73 Corvette 454 big block matched up w/ the Shelby GT 500. Both are breathtaking. The Shelby far outclasses the early-mid 90s Vettes. I traded a 2007 GT/CS for the Shelby. The GTs straight-line performance pales against all of the aforementioned muscle cars. Groused about paying the $10K over sticker premium, but now have zero regrets about price. The Shelby GT 500 is a legitimate $60K ride that is docile until you light the fuse. This is quite simply the best car Ive ever owned. If you want your heart to pound the way it did at 21, this is the ticket.
