Why the GT50 is around 13k more expensive, 50 less HP, and according to the MT article, 3950 pounds, so it is also heavier.

Video of the Ford GT500 2011 in action.

Sounds good

FYI, this video is already in the first post.

I'm sure the GT500 is an impressive performer but it has miles to go in the looks department. The thing hurts my eyes!

Okay, I'm reviving this thread but only to point out the following:

The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is built by Ford Motor Company.

The Shelby GT350 Mustang is a package offered by Shelby Automobiles, Inc. , not Ford Motor Company, that can be added on a first come, first serve basis to any Mustang GT.

Contrary to any magazine covers and/or online blogs you may have read, neither was built nor intended to be a direct competitor to the Chevrolet Camaro.

That is all.

Didn't you get the memo? In order to appreciate the Camaro's styling, you have to be a GM guy. Likewise, in order to appreciate the GT500's styling, you have to be a Ford guy!

ponycrusher21 · 02-08-2010, 06:30 PM

Yep. So the '11 GT500 was revealed, and I gotta say, wow. It's a new aluminum block and some other upgrades that boost the power to 550 hp and it weighs 120 pounds less.

So my question is,

If or when the z28 comes out, with a LSA pulled STRAIGHT OUT of a CTS-V, will it be:

What? I love my Camaro SS, and also the Shelby GT500. The 2011 GT500 looks sick as hell. I'm not a fan of the Mustang's design, but I actually like the 2011 Mustang's and Shelby's.

I think the 2011 GT350 looks horrible though.

truth411 · 02-08-2010, 07:58 PM

I Like the design of the 2011 GT-500, but the stripes look

. I hope they offer a stripe deletion option.
