when i bought the z, i didn't do any research. i bought it because i liked what i saw. had i done my research, i probably would have gotten a gt500 instead.

I looked at both, the GT500 crowd is NOT full of happy campers, and I see a lot of them on the Shelby forum dumping their cars becuase they reject shifts, grind badly, Ford isn't fixing the problem in many cases, on and on. The GT500 is a nice car with a few issues in the works still. It's fast and handles well, yes, but its no fun when you can't shift into 2nd within 500rpm of redline without getting a nasty grind or a reject.

No ageism, racism, sexism, etc. but I find your statement completely stateist!
