  Fun in the fast lane - 2007 Ford Shelby GT500
  By Brandon - November 4 - 1:40 am

  I paid msrp for my Vista Blue GT500. It was worth if. I have a SVT Cobra and didnt buy this car because of the Shelby name. I have always want to see what a SC 4V 5.4l would do in a Mustang. My car will not be a garage queen. I picked my car up in MI and drove it 1600 miles back to FL in 19 hours. Only gripe was the car is to quiet. Didnt sound like a Mustang should. Very fun; cant wait until more parts come out and we start seeing the GT500 putting down 500-600 rwhp.

  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.

  Red Coupe/White Stripes - 2007 Ford Shelby GT500
  By Got One! - January 6 - 11:06 am

  If you have one of these beasts, you fall in love with it at first sight and it just gets better after that. Performance is next to none. Comparisons with the Z06 are a joke as this cars collectors status will be here long after the Z06s are in the junk yard. I was literally blown away by the power this thing generates right off the assmbly line. I cant imagine what some after market mods will do. I was one of the lucky ones who got mine at MSRP, but I can tell you that even at 1$0-15K over, I think its worth the investment.

  Excellent Performance for the money - 2007 Ford Shelby GT500
  By Don Cannon - October 7 - 3:06 am

  This has to be the finest performance car I have ever owned! I have been fortunate to own Corvettes, 350Z, Z3, TransAms, Mustang GTs, even a 67 GT390 Mustang and this car is the best of them all. I purchased the car USED with only 2400 actual miles and have not been disappointed. The Shelby had a full Roush exhaust system installed on it before it left the Ford dealership and it has a terrific sound. Far better than the stock system I test drove on other cars. The gas mileage is excellent and as stated on the window. For anyone looking at one of these cars the performance and handling are terrific. It does have the wheel hop under hard acceleration but the TCS work good.For the money buy it!

  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.

  A TRUE Muscle Car - 2007 Ford Shelby GT500
  By True Factory Muscle - August 28 - 1:33 pm

  First for the naysayers I put on just a few miles then went straight to the chassis dyno. How does 460+hp & 445lb ft of tq @ rear wheels sound? Thats PURE stock, not a single change from stock. Same dyno a very healthy 426 Hemi made 310hp @ wheels; thats 150+ rwhp over a HEMI! Nothing short of incredible overall. I would take this car over 2 Z06s. Fit & finish is SUPERB! Paint is the nicest I have ever seen on an American car & I am a body man/painter. Not a single complaint. Minor mods put these cars in the 10s in 1/4 mile. Braking & handling are also nothing short of incredible. 60-0 110ft. A very nice chassis with too many changes over standard Mustang GT to mention.

  Ive waited 40 years for this... - 2007 Ford Shelby GT500
  By Mitchell Bateman - July 30 - 1:10 pm

  I am 53 years old and owned older Mustang muscle cars in the 60s and 70s but nothing like this car. When the TCS system is disengaged, the raw horsepower is frightening. You better be ready for whats about to happen when you step on it. Its hard to drive it and not put your foot in it every time you stop and take off again. Ive never ridden on the space shuttle but I cant imagine the rush being any greater!

  First Month - 2007 Ford Shelby GT500
  By Tony Thompson - June 14 - 9:06 pm

  Have had a great time driving this car. Horsepower is incredible and handling is much better than I expected. Have had no problems so far, gas mileage has been in the high teens - but who cares! A well designed car - good job Ford, another winner in a great Mustang heritage.

  In love with my Shelby - 2007 Ford Shelby GT500
  By jill green - February 4 - 4:10 pm

  I love this car. I owned 4 others over the years. This is one great car. I have to be careful because you dont realize your doing 80 or better while tooling along. We took a trip to Vegas in her and she cruised along like a dream. I dont know to say but this little red is a keeper.
