Members JerEvil Posted April 27, 2012 Members Share Posted April 27, 2012 Pretty sure a Mustang will be my next car. Probably not a Shelby but at least a GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CTS-V is a badass car, but I've just never liked the way they look. 'Stangs are way, WAY sexier, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zehn Posted April 27, 2012 Members Share Posted April 27, 2012 I can think of many cars that would {censored} all over this thing on a track. They include a steering wheel for a reason Ogling over hp numbers is what we did in middle school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zehn Posted April 27, 2012 Members Share Posted April 27, 2012 to turn around at the end of a 1/4 mile? Also, One other tidbit, according to the Team Shelby forums: The engine runs so hot and requires so much cooling that the GT500 will do without any front grille. Don't quite understand this part (where does it get cold fresh air from?) but what it means to me is you'd better know how to change cylinder walls, piston rings, pistons, and the cylinder head. Sounds like its going to burn through that stuff in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angry Grimace Posted April 27, 2012 Members Share Posted April 27, 2012 This.How much does it weigh ?Will it be able to handle like a viper or zr1? Doubtful. 99% of the population has no clue how to drive like a race car driver. Going to the "track day" twice a year doesn't make you a race car driver either. But everyone knows how to jizz in their pants when they hit the throttle and car goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all starting to sound like that argument that ends up touting that Mythical Race Prepped Miata that's going to just blast buy your 5.0 in the curves.

Members zehn Posted April 27, 2012 Members Share Posted April 27, 2012 I would believe you except you're complaining a Mustang with 662 horsepower weighs too much and doesn't handle like the Viper. I never said {censored} about a Viper. Thing can't even hold my drink Cobras are fun, just not my thing. Fast as {censored}, no denying that. I would own this car if I was on the strip.
