Default How reliability is the GT500?

Hey there, I am new to this form and I am trying to make a decision between a cts-v and a 2011 shelby GT500. I am just wondering how reliability is the GT500. Any issue with the engine? Any quality issue (Interior Rattle, electronic glitch etc)? Thanks!

Just do a search of the forums. I don't think you'll find much, if any, issues.

the gt500 has been know to handle 20 psi and hold together nicely. The only weak link is the clutch which ford is still trying to figure out how to fix it. A shelby vs a CTS-V. I think the V is nice but just having a shelby....for me it was name recognition.
