I saw one of these in Tampa today(im almost 100% sure i did) and i started wondering what people thought about these cars.
I think they sound badass, and the paint scheme is excellent.
One thing though, i believe Ford answered a question nobody asked when they built the Hertz 'Stang.
Does anyone agree?

 

Seen one and drove next to it in Orlando today, some brits were driving it.

I guess its 'badass', looked about the same as a regular GT, this one didn't sound too impressive. It said GT-H I think on the side.

 

GT305-H on it, they are hot, but if you didin't understand the original you won't understand this one

rent-a-racers rock, just too bad the fat american populous can't drive a stick anymore, now they stick them with an auto

 

There's one that lives a couple blocks from me. Looks nice. Kinda puts me in the wayback machine when I almost bought one of the originals when Hertz put them up for sale. I decided against it 'cause I didn't want to buy a used rental car. That's only one of my brilliant decisions I've made in my life.

 

That WAS a brilliant decision.

 

the time machine?? I have one too........

As far as the Hertz s197....Scott had one and said he was very dissapointed in performance of the car. I have not seen one......

 

i know there are many cosmetic differences, but what are the performance upgrades?

 

The car destined for Hertz starts as a 300-hp Mustang GT, with the 4.6-liter V-8 engine and five-speed automatic transmission. The cars then travel to Shelby Automobiles in Las Vegas to get a Ford Racing Performance Group Power Pack that consists of a cold-air kit, a muffler kit, an X-pipe similar to the one used on the Shelby GT500, a performance calibration, and a cat-back performance exhaust for, says Ford, “the throaty sound that will make this car unmistakably a Shelby Mustang GT-H.”

It also has the Ford Racing Handling Pack that includes specially tuned shock absorbers inspired by the FR500C, 1.5-inch lowering springs, thicker anti-roll bars with urethane bushings and billet-aluminum links, a strut-tower brace, and a Ford Racing 3.55:1 rear-axle assembly for “extra off-the-line acceleration,” says Ford. We measured 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds and the standing quarter-mile in 13.9 seconds at 103 mph with the traction control engaged. These numbers are almost as quick as those of the last manual GT we tested. The GT-H has Mustang GT brakes dressed up with painted calipers, which can be seen through the GT-H’s 17-inch aluminum wheels wearing P235/55ZR-17 performance rubber, as well as a body kit, a different grille, flimsy hood pins, and big gold tape stripes on black paint, which is the only color Hertz ordered. The GT gas cap has been replaced by the V-6’s cap, with the horse logo. The dashboard gets a plastic Shelby decal, signed by Carroll, but when the car is sold to the public, that plastic decal will be replaced by a metal plate, also signed and numbered. Buyers will get a whole wheelbarrow of Shelby stuff, including photos, a book, a trunk plaque signed by the build team, and a letter from Shelby himself.

 

Sounds much better than a Rousch.
