I saw a Shelby GT500 today in Auburn, it was on the back of a car trailer with about 6 other Ford vehicles. Probably going to Auburn Ford. It was Red with white racing stripes.

Drove my boss' '08 Shelby GT500 yesterday. Nice car...well any new car you drive seems automatically nicer. The car seems like a solid low 12 second car off of the showroom floor. Kind of mushy suspension, but that has been the case with all cobras (93+ and on). Still it does handle pretty half decent without much dive when pushing it into a turn (depends on if you know what your doing with the brakes). I do believe a pulley, tune, and perhaps a cat-back is all you will need for these cars (if keeping the stock blower).

This guy had to be stock, I just gave my car a quick blip and he was about a car and a half before i let off. Went from about 70-110. They do look bad ass coming up in a rearview mirror.

There's a used GT500 at the Mercedes dealership in Walnut Creek if anyone wants to check it out. It's red w/white stripes. It was there two days ago. I imagine it's probably still there.

I have driven both. My 2.6 pullied 03 felt about the same as the stock Gt500. The 03 is 300# lighter, but the overall feel & drive ability of the GT500 is better IMO. I have owned a dozen Mustangs from 65-07, they are all cool in their own ways, but hands down I would take the new GT500 over the rest.
