I'm pretty sure the Shelby GT500 is offered with an automatic. You cannot sell an all manual car in America.
If it isn't that really disapoints me in the Shelby. It surely takes the cars off the road due to the hastle of driving them then... and deprives the fans of seeing their cars.
Lame.
I would ask him to see his Shelby registration plate.

You missed the point. It is NOT a Shelby.

170...no way in a V6. I have a V6 with a custom tune that has no speed limiter and raised the redline to 6800 and I have hit about 140 (guessing from the 120 mph speedo) and that was it.
As far as it having the Shelby emblems, that is so wrong. I would never want to drive a V6 that would lose to a base GT and say it's a "Shelby." Please tell the kid to pull the poser emblems off!

RE: be afraid of this-FOBRA
lol its obviously NOT a GT500, just look at the rear ... GT spoiler, 1 exhuast, not striped completely, skinny tires.
And if it was a real GT500 why would u be mad at him ? If you had a chance to own one would you like people being mad at you just because of your car?
Seems that hes not the only one who needs more info about mustangs
