    Ford Shelby GT500

    What do you think about the Ford Shelby GT500 ?

    Last year I was considering the Mustang, just for fun... but after I tried it I was not interested anymore because of the poor inside quality and the poor road handling... but I like it' s look and the engine..

    Re: Ford Shelby GT500

    I like the seventies one, not such a fan of the new mustangs

    Re: Ford Shelby GT500

    Haven't driven the GT 500 but I did drive a Roush. We were shooting a race themed video in Las Vegas, a Viper vs. a Roush (OK, not a reality show!). The Roush felt just great and the sound was fantastic. I've been thinking about it ever since, a great top-down hot rod to head out in the hills when I have to get away from my office.

    Didn't get to really wind it out, though, and I suspect in the end I'd rather have a Boxster S when you were tired of just cruising and wanted to really get on it.

    Chevy debuted the concept Camaro at the LA Auto Show that just passed. A HUGE improvement on a classic 70's design. I like it much more than the retro Mustangs/Shelby's. Don't know about performance figures yet or when it will actually hit showrooms(possibly '09MY?) Here's a pic-

    We have a 1965 Pontiac GTO and one of the new Dodge Charger Hemis. I hope they produce the Challenger, it looks great.

    The good thing about that design is that is almost an exact reproduction. My neighbors brother owns 3 originals.

    With the shape of that nose you have to wonder what the handling would be like on ANY road at speed. Looks like a lot of aerodynamic lift has been programmed in. But the original design does date from a time before road cars were tested in wind tunnels.

    Re: Ford Shelby GT500

    The Camaro and Challenger are my two favorite cars from Detroit. Both need to be built very soon!
