First, just like he has a right to post on a public forum, so do I.
Second, I'm not the only one that thought questions were retarded.
Third, I do skip over some post that are worthless and others I like to stir the pot in and I am for sure going to comment when someone is thinking about spending $50K+ on a car and wants to know the color of the guages.
Fourth, If he wants me to stay out of his threads about a GT500 then post it in the GT500 forum where it belongs.

And to the OP,
Seriously, researching a vehicle, that's what you are doing??? What color are the guages, Exhaust, tires easy to spin... It's a 500hp supercharged car, what do you think. You drive a GT, is it easy to spin the tires in that. C'mon, you ask a stupid question and that's what you are going to get.

Lay off the poor guy... he's excited. I can't answer your questions but I would recommend joining a Shelby forum and asking those same questions. You may receive a warmer response.

You guys, like I've said before in other threads with other topics to fuel people up, if you dont have anything nice to say or anything worthwhile to input, then why waste anyone's time, especially yourselves, to post and bash on someone. Just disregard it and it will go away. To you his questions might be irrelavant, but to JOSHYGT, these are valid questions and deserve to be answered.

JOSHYGT, I do think youll get better results if you take your question to the GT500 subforum. Just my $.02.

Happy New Year.

Gas mileage is worse than the GT, traction is worse, it sounds better than a GT, aftermarket parts are WAY more than a GT. Sure it would be a blast to own one, and I have considered buying one soon too but right now I think i'm better off sticking with my GT and modding it. When I get the mod bug out of my system i'll probably buy one and leave it stock.
Hey there,

SOME Aftermarket parts are more expensive (and I wouldnt say WAY more expensive - its a matter of perspective). Many of the parts on the GT500 are the same parts that are on the Mustang GT (or their aftermaket counterparts are the same on both cars).

Hope this helps some.

1- What is your average gas mileage... city/hwy?
2-Do you enjoy the ride... city/hwy?
3- Is there a hop when gunning it from the line?
4- I'm not sure but... what color are the guages?
5- Are the tires to easy to spin?
6- How does it control in the rain?
7- Exhaust... rate it.
8- What mods have you done and have they made a difference? Explain.
9- Do you see yourself owning this car for much longer?
10- Is it a fun car?

A note - unlike most, my GT500 is my daily driver, and I drive her in the rain and light snow. I bought Goodyear Eagle F1 All-Season tires, and am very happy I did!

1. I get 17-18 mpg during the week (commute), and 22-23 mpg on long highway trips. These assume normal shifting around 2500-3000rpm. If I step on it, in-town mileage can drop as low as 11-12.
2. The ride is comfortable. Maybe a bit soft, but to me it rides better than my '06 GT Vert did.
3. Big-time wheel hop. As someone else mentioned, LCAs/UCAs and a few other mods can (mostly) cure this. I haven't done it yet.
4. Same MyColor option as the GTs, but with a red-white-blue (red speedo, white center gages, blue tach) option.
5. Duh.
6.I had no problems in the rain, even with the OEM summer tires. Just drive a little slower.
7. Quieter than the GT, which isa good thing - you can hear the supercharger whine!
8. None (except the signed Shelby dash plaque).
9. Forever and ever and ever.
10. DUH. Most amazing car I've ever driven, hands-down.

Good luck!

Will owners of the 2007 Shelby GT500 be so kind as to help answer these questions for me? As used GT500's are popping up with better pricing packages, I am seriously looking into purchasing one. My current 05GT has 60k miles on it and would like to stay low miles. That and to be honest with you, it's all about the whine of the SC! Thank you...

1- What is your average gas mileage... city/hwy?
2-Do you enjoy the ride... city/hwy?
3- Is there a hop when gunning it from the line?
4- I'm not sure but... what color are the guages?
5- Are the tires to easy to spin?
6- How does it control in the rain?
7- Exhaust... rate it.
8- What mods have you done and have they made a difference? Explain.
9- Do you see yourself owning this car for much longer?
10- Is it a fun car?

1.With my current set up 16-17mpg.
2.The ride seems better to me than my 06GT and quieter on the hwy. less cabin noise at speed.
3.YES. can be cured with a couple rear suspension mods easily
4.search on google
5.
6.fine with stock tires. only been in the rain 2 times.
7.Same exhaust from an auto mustang GT. Should be replaced ASAP imo. I think a 500hp car should sound like a 500hp car.
8.most guys do a CAI, axle-backs, and custom tune. Yields b/w 60-80hp at the wheels and for @ $1500.
9.hopefully
10.yup
