Love the car for it's speed for sure, but looking back on my drive of a GT I'd pass on an S197 until ford replaces it. I just like how the Camaro fits over the Mustang, whose cabin is IMO a bit cramped compared to the Camaro's.

I couldn't stand shifting that car with a Manual.. kept banging my knees and feet in the footwell.

But that GT500, she is teh sexy b!tches!

I liked the look of the old GT500 better though.. Especially the rear.. I'm not diggin the plastic panel on the hood either...

I love the looks of the old GT500KR though..

Well, there we will have to disagree. Prior to pulling the trigger on the 2010 GT500, I also took the time to sit in and drive both an automatic and manual SS Camaro and, in my case, the opposite was true. At 6'2" tall and about 225lbs, I felt much more claustrophobic in the SS that the GT500. Again, this is why it is nice to have choices out there. What works for me might not work for someone else.


Thanks for the kind words.

Congrats nice car. Not to fond on the Hood or the seats but other than that sweet ride! Enjoy it and keep her between the lines! Also don't be like most Mustang owners & try dogging anyone driving sweet rides that are not Stanges. I've had my Vettes and my 2010 SS Camaro dogged on how there peices of crap and they used other versions of Crap. What really killed me is I was alwys bragging on there Mustanges because I'm a huge fan of all American Muscle! Don't care if they are Chevy,Ford or Dodge. Just a fan to them all. I just so happy that American Muscle is starting to Flex it's muscles again. There for a while I was starting to get dissapointed in American muscle but looks like the Big 3 are hitting the gym hard again! Go American Muscle and down with the Ricers and German & Italian cars! But I'll quit ranting and Nice car man looks great! Got any plans on up grades on anything? If so what was you thinking on doing?

I think if I were to vote, I'd pick the Ford GT as the best car the Blue Oval has ever made.

I saw one of your posts earlier and looked at your avatar and said to myself, "That doesn't look like his old GT500..."

Congrats man, good looking car.

Personally, don't care for the tail end of 2010s. Front look is nice, not sold on that hood scoop, either...

Nice... The 2010 GT500 is a good looking ride. For me it is a toss up; I liked the last model just as well. Was it a hard to give up your 07 for your new ride?

I wish they would move that brake lever over away from the drivers leg.
