RE: Got to drive a GT500!!
I tried talking him out of buying the GT500. I told him to get an old fastback and make it darn near unstreetable, Just a badass Street Machine.. Since he doesnt drive it anyway.. What is the difference? He didnt agree...Oh well.. Either way, it is a great car and I am jealous.

200 miles after 6 months!!!! The guy doesn't deserve it. Buying that car is like marriage. You do it because you wanna drive it hard and have it handy.

My buddy has a GT500, I have driven it once, (he lives back in San Diego) I drove it hard, (somebody needs to, he only has 200 miles on it and it is 6 months old) I have friends that have some money, I have driven everything from Ferrari 360, Gallardo, and a Bentley...Then I have to jump back in my Quad Cab Dodge...Oh yah, it normally feels like a pig, but after driving one of those, It is like I drive a Cement Truck..

RE: Got to drive a GT500!!
wow alot of bull**** logic in this thread... the 5.4 has alot more potential than any of the roushes, and the only saleen that compares is the extreme which actually costs more. The 5.4 can handle lots of power....LOTS. Whoever said, "my dad has a 5.7 charger" or whatever... do you realize the 5.7l chargers are a good 2 seconds slower in the quarter than a gt500...? and a blown 5.4 >>>>>>>>>> N/A 5.7

Thanks 8cd03gro for trying to explain some of the finer points of what this car has to offer to the general public . I can see why the majority of Shelby GT500 owners stay with their kind. Their will always be 1 or 2 jerkoffs bagging on any Mustang that doesn't look like, smell like, or $h!t like their's WTF.

RE: Got to drive a GT500!!
Thanks, I think...? To answer your question/comment about my inflated ego, I wanted to let you know that the dealer was kind enough to throw it in when I purchased the Shelby! I was not lucky as your brother to get a fair price on the car as I got it a little over a year ago (3rd on in CA at the time) and I paid for the "priveledge". I hope your brother (and you) have as many great experiences in his GT500 as my 18- year old son and I have had in mine.
It's a lot of fun to drive and more fun to see how the 5.4 loves simple (but expensive) mods.

Never be feel bad to drive a mustang, the haters hate us for a reason! I financed for my son (on the easy payment family program...[&:]) a Whipple 03' Term that puts down over 600 RWHP and gives the Shelby a good run from a 60 roll, and is really-really fun to drive.

Hey GT500OC, is your stang parked in the Saleen factory in Irvine? It looks like it is.
Congrats on driving the GT500 though. I know what you mean about feeling bad after driving them. A few days ago I drove a 1300hp El Camino, 900hp Jeep, and an 03' Cobra. Needless to say it sucked when I had to drive home in my V6 Explorer lol.
