Just saw a Shelby GT500
It was red with white stripes, sitting at a stop light. Sure wish I could line up on one on the freeway! I'd love to see his face when I walk away from him! It sure was pretty though....[8D]

RE: Just saw a Shelby GT500
Even if you could walk away from it, which Im sure you wouldnt claim if it was not possible,the car demands and deserves respect. Its like when your father talks down to you, you know you are right and he is wrong, you just say yes sir and let him have his way. Unless, of course, the driver is a real a$$hole and he tries to pick you off real hard, then let him have it.

Respect...absolutely. Actually, I am not interested in racing anyone! I just don't like speeding and reckless driving tickets, and there really isn't anywhere in the Portland area to do it. Just too much traffic. I just like the feel of the power, but I'm sure that if the chance came up, in the right place at the right time, with a worthy opponent, it would be hard to pass up! [8D]

You would rape the poor thing. You've got the same numbers I have and my GT is way faster than my 500...
After the KB 2.8 is installed the outcome may be somewhat different.

There's one in Grabber Orange with the white stripes that lives around here somewhere. Everytime I see it I want to get out and lick it. That might be because it looks like a giant creamcicle. I don't think so though...

RE: Just saw a Shelby GT500
LOL are you guys kidding when you say it would be a close race??
He has a supercharger on a lighter weight car, going up against a car thatmany have been disappointed with its performance andthat is only .8 seconds faster stock. The GT500 is probably being driven by an old person, statistically speaking, while you got an enthusiast driving the GT. You really think it would be close?? Come on, he would dominate in a fashion that would resemble clubbing a baby seal.
