Unless you can beat a 9.215 quarter mile, you might want to reconsider that comment

Well let's see?
If your running a 75 shot of juice and a kenne bell 2.8 mammoth that would make any car fast.

And a curb weight of almost 2 tons is a very heavy car. I dont care what any one says I'll tell you what with a built 5.0 in a fox with a 2.8 mammoth and a 75 shot of juice would kill a gt500 any day.

"In a head-to-head matchup (“Heavy Pedal”) with a 2006 Corvette, the 2007 GT500 was far outclassed and outpaced despite a full 100-hp advantage and $10K-lower price. The chief culprits for the GT500’s loss were weight and lack of body control"

Are you really comparing the GT500 to a Corvette. They are two different cars. When will people stop comparing them.

I have the 2010 buys really bad. But, I'm not willing to pay over sticker. Maybe the recession and Ford's production will make it work. Otherwise, I'll buy a 2010 GT and wait until Ford builds enough or a good one comes to the used market.

He has an impressive car for sure! Anything can run if you have the $$$. They are amazing cars to say the least. To be honest though, If you wanted to, you could make a buick centry run 9's. . . I'd rather have a stang though! (year doesn't matter, as long as it's a stang!) If only I could afford a GT500, I'd have two bad cars sittin in my garage! I'd never sell either of them haha

Just wanted you all to know that I ordered my New 2010 Shelby Convertible tonight. The price started at 51,000 for the convertibles and I believed the coups were starting at 48,000. I will know monday appox. how long it will take to be made. I had alot of fun with my GT but I should have twice as much with 540Hp. Keeping my HRE wheels to put on it. I'll post pics once I get it.
