  Wait for the price to drop - not worth it - 2007 Ford Shelby GT500
  By Wait for price drop - January 25 - 5:46 pm

  I traded in my Z06 for this car and paid way over sticker. Thought at the time I had to have it. Shame on Ford for letting dealers charge way more than msrp for the car. Thats what is wrong with Ford and why no one wants to get ripped off by them. Save some money and get a Vette or wait for the price to drop.

  Fun in the sun - 2007 Ford Shelby GT500
  By Larry M - January 12 - 6:50 pm

  Have owned several convertibles - 05 Vette was my last. The Shelby is just more fun. When you mash the pedal to the floor - it just plain hauls. Smokey burnouts at will - and will lay rubber at any speed in 1st gear. The ridgity of the car could be better but it not as bad as some of the expert reviews state. The car lacks some of the bells and whistles of the Vette but who cares if you have to turn the lights on & off. As far as the wow factor goes - its high. Lots of thumbs up and questioning admirers. I think for 10-15K less than the Vette its a steal.

  Pavement Ripper - 2007 Ford Shelby GT500
  By matchbox - September 3 - 12:30 pm

  I love it! It is so smooth and easy to drive that you forget how fast it is until you notice the other traffic disappearing behind you. Despite its power and acceleration it gets better gas mileage than a lot of less capabile cars. The brakes are always strong and I havent caused them to fade yet. The distinctive good looks and exhust sound cause people to look at you as you cruise through the parking lot. You also get to meet a lot of new people that like cars. It seems that everyone that likes cars is drawn to the GT500.

  Awesome out of the hole!! - 2007 Ford Shelby GT500
  By BillyRay - November 13 - 5:50 pm

  Waited 19 months to get this car. This car is one of the fastest cars I have ever driven. I would also like more rumble through the mufflers so Im in the process of fixing that. The satellite radio is sweet with the 1000 watt Shaker system.The handling is real smooth and the braking is number one! BillyRay says if you get a chance to own a Carroll Shelby land rocket...BUY ONE. Because in 20 years 0 to 60 in 4.5 will still be fast...hold on!

  Love the car, but... - 2007 Ford Shelby GT500
  By Griffy Baby - July 16 - 10:56 pm

  Have had my Shelby for over 3 months. The car has 3,000 miles and she has gone to the shop about every 400 miles - blown radiator hose, replace tracking sensor, engine check light, etc. My father bought an Edsel. I believe this car is its reincarnation. Maybe someday I will get the bugs completely worked out of this car. Ford could have done a better job of quality control. This is the one and only Ford I ever intend to own in my lifetime.

  Nice Car... Bad Price... - 2007 Ford Shelby GT500
  By ShelbyOwner - April 6 - 7:53 pm

  I paid quite a bit over sticker for this baby... nice car, but for the price, well... Theres nothing wrong with the car itself. Its a great car, just pricey. It drives nicely, a bit front-heavy, but its straight-line performance is amazing.

  Skipping Rear End - 2007 Ford Shelby GT500
  By Mike - June 12 - 8:13 am

  Everything is good with the handling except the solid rear axle causes the rear end to "skip" all over the place if there is the slightest imperfection in the road surface. With maximum acceleration in 1st gear it is always evident and gives the certain sense of loss of control. Rear suspenion certainly needs to be independent.

  my shelby - 2007 Ford Shelby GT500
  By amar - January 9 - 8:06 am

  I car sounds ridicously good gets alot of looks, butits kind of hard to drive in the rain especially going up hill. Car bounces alot on rough surfaces, but on smooth surfaces this car is ridiclously fast. On a tank of gas i can get up to 480kms on the highway and in the city if i drive fast around 270kms out of a tank. The car has had a clutch break down and replaced transmission bearings which ford fixed for free it cost 7300 dollars just in parts. They said they wouldnt have covered it but since it only had 10 thousandkms People either love this car or just dont notice it. On cornering the car feels realyl front heavy

  Shelby GT 500 - 2007 Ford Shelby GT500
  By Ralph Mangum - March 23 - 9:53 pm

  This is a very quick car and is very much fun to drive. The car handles well and is good on gas if driven without flooring it. The workmanship is very good. I have not had any problems with mine, just a lot of fun. The car is hard to hook up in first or second gear but different tires could make the difference.
