It had to be, It was probably number 5 out of the -10 that were made. I hear that 5 was the fastest and most special of them all.

Are you really comparing a video game cars performance to a real cars performance???

Well the only two racing game generas that have close to real world driving are Forza and Grand Turismo. The new GT-500 is light years above the old 66-70 models. The 68 GT-500 with the 429 Cobra Jet engine was the fastest, however, the new GT-500 is still a leap in technology and performance away. If memory serves me right, the 68 GT-500 was capable of low 13s, high 12s and the new GT-500 runs low to mid 12s all day, not to mention that it wouldn't wreck when trying to make a tight turn.

Go play Forza and race the two, the new GT-500, out the box, is a much, much, much better car.

i agree with Jthorn for the most part.


except i think the 67 with a 427 side oiler would do better- yes, you could get them.


but the 65 was most kick *** of the 65-69 shelbys.

Well my grandpa had one and we went on a lot of camping trips and did a lot of 4 wheelin' in it. Those cars are just so much fun, especially when you take the doors and top off. Since he died I always wanted one of those [&o]

NYstang

but remember- the 65 had no backseat, spare tire, sound deadoning, side exhaust, lowered 1" with the konis and overall better suspension...

imo, most badass- no pansy crap there.

I see. I wasn't bashing, just wondering what made you decide between a Bronco or a GT500. lol I am thinking about buying an 87 Mercedes 190e 16v. They are still one of the funnest Mercedes I have ever driven and they are now over 20 years old. So I can definitely see where you are coming from.

Jthorn and Nystang, Does it really matter which is the faster of the two?I would gladly take any of the models and years.
