Buy a polarizer for your camera. Loose the gawdawful plumbing between the dash and the rear view mirror & the black box on the windshield. Loose the black box. Don't repeat the same redundant photos. 2 or 3 should be sufficient to get your point across. Provide a link to more photos for anyone interested.

Ok, so I'm splitting hairs. The car deseves the best presentation. Yes, I'm envious.
Enjoy!

Wayne

ps: Keep the Mustang garaged. Period. No excuses.

3.4 or 4.0 whipple ftw. My 08 Shelby made 790 to the wheels at 6400 ft. corrected elevation with a 3.4.

Great pics....

They are 550 bhp right? Basically a more practical Ford GT. Really nice ride.

500HP is plenty power. 650HP must be insane

Costs less than SLS, produces more power than SLS BS, looking fantastic, what else can I say. You must enjoy driving this car. Makes C63 ordinary DD

I bought a 2011 Shelby GT500 and only kept it for 2 tanks of gas before trading it in for my 2011 C63 with P31. The C63 is a way better car in my opinion. The Shelbys Trac Pac with the Goodyear tires is garbage. On a cool day the tires have absolutely no traction at all. Don't be to jealous until you have driven both and not just for a test drive. Go to the Shelby forum and you will read the same about the tires. Also the C63 is more rare than the Shelby and is actually quicker 0-60 than the pre 2013 cars. Also it is only a Ford.

I know it's just a Ford, but I think 0-60 is around 3,5s, C63 can't beat that. Except the tires, I think it's a great car, and price per hp is unbeatable.

I bought a 2013 gt500 last week...returning it this week. The engine, tranny, and diff are phenominal but the suspension is pure garbage! drives like a tuna boat!

It's unfortunate that car is so imbalanced. That power on that chassis is just such a mismatched, it's almost a joke. Kind of like a big huge bandaid.

How do you "return" a new car though?

I am happy to read that I was not the only one that thinks tires and suspension are garbage on the Shelby. May have big horse power and bragging rights but I buy a car to drive and enjoy. Only faster than a C63 when in the hands of a professional driver.. My opinion only..
