Default 2009 CTS-V automatic Vs. 2009 Shelby GT-500 KR

Which car is faster off the line, has the higher top end speed and which one will handle better?
Which one will be more reliable or less maintenance and less problems?

The caddy is definetly a better car for quality and ride. The mustang probably wins in all the other aspects along w/ retail value.

Id have to think that with all the suspension upgrades for the KR that the ride quality would be similar....

For overall flash... if you like the "bling bling" lol.... than itd be the caddy

I personally think the stang is much more beautiful....

well for a luxury type car with some performance, i would say caddy. For the sports car with performance it's the GT500. For suspension and stuff, i would say they both would do great but since the GT500 is more sporty, i'm pretty sure that's one thing Ford paid attention to more than GM. I would think they would both fair on reliability.
My choice hands down would be the GT500.

for total luxury and better smoother ride probably the standard cts v-6 300 horses would be better as it has smaller tires. I know the cts-v has that magnetic suspension but it has different suspension for performance and big low profile tires.

any of the shelby mustangs are overpriced for what you get in that ford fairmont suspension. The cad will be lower in purchase price and probably easier to purchase and find.

The new S197s do not have the Fox based Platform anymore so you cannot compare it to a fairmont.

in other words you have a bunch of random pictures and videos that have nothing to do with anything you post about.

lets see pics of this 88 since you have never posted a single one. and i doubt you could afford either of the 2 cars in this threads title.
