2011 Shelby GT500: A Snake With A 550 HP Aluminum Heart

Ummmm, no it is not.
It is a Ford Mustang GT with a SC, suspension, wheel, tire, weight reduction upgrade kit. Not saying you can do all this better/cheaper yourself, but it is more than just a SC addition.

so it's a souped up mustang. which over here has an msrp of 58k! thats about the price of a semi-optioned out 335i and less than 7k cheaper than the porsche cayman! now why is an archaic ford retailing for the same price as european luxury sports cars? oh and for 58k you still get the solid rear axle

Finally get to use that without linking to it.
Really, you want to start this again? Can you not respect another car for the advancements it has made in technology? Did you even read the link to see what they did to this car that has never been done before on a Mustang? Are you so stuck up in your own world that you have no clue how to appreciate other cars? Or is it because it is not a Z then it has no place here?

Probably close to what Enzo said before Shelby whipped his *** at LeMans

that was the ford gt, which is a legitimate supercar. there are light years between the gt and the mustang.

funny cuz most people would say the mustang is lagging in technology compared to other cars

dad

Yes and no! Carroll Shelby won the 24 hours of LeMans in the late 50's. Beating Ferrari , I believe he drove an Aston Healey , or Aston Martin, which was considered an underdog!

If your going to get technical, the Ford GT was made between 2002-2005. The one racing in the 60s was the GT40.

And If you want to say its lagging in technology, thats your opinion and you can say that. Im sorry if you have to have an IRS to feel competent. Last I checked thats the only old technology on the car, considering most muscle cars still use pushrod motors, and this is a modular motor. They made a ton of advancements on the new GT500, such as a new cylinder liner that won Ford the Inventor of the Year award. It replaces iron sleeves in an aluminum block. Saves 8.5 lbs off the engine, and reduces friction greatly. But thats right, its lagging in technology. Fords newly redesigned live axle can do anything your IRS can do, any day. Ford asked its Mustang crowd what it wanted for 2005, a new IRS or new live axle. Well its quite obvious what won out. You and a ton others think its "old and outdated", but last I checked it still works.

So are you gonna go tell GM that they need to change the Vette because Pushrods were made in the 60's? Didnt think so. So leave Ford alone about the live rear axle.

He's just being an elitest jerkoff. We should ignore it.

Good post, though.

Thanks. I mostly look around and read whats going on with people and their Zs, but decided a post needed to be made. I love all kinds of vehicles, lean more towards the muscle car side because thats how I grew up, but hey what wouldn't get you going about a 427 BBF?
