Default New Shelby GT500

Just walked out to get the mail and picked up my July issue of Motortrend with a review on the new GT500.

42k base price
0-60 - 4.5
1/4 - 12.7@116
60-0 braking - 110ft

500hp/480tq
Curb Weight: 3990 lbs

Not really a mustang fan myself, but seems that the 03' Cobra's were better looking and a much better bang for the buck?

This new 42k GT500 barely edges out the 03' in a 1/4 mile drag and we all know how much cheaper the the 03's were.

I'd say they missed the mark with this one pricing it within spitting distance of a base model C6 that does NOT weigh nearly as much as a fullsize pickup and gets great gas mileage.

Discuss.........
