Yes, the GT500 is an animal, its great straight line and handles fairly well. I don't drive much so I could have got a GT500 or a ZL1. I did choose the ZL1. I did hear the clutch takes some getting use to in the GT500 and also it does not "feel" that much faster than the 11's,12's The reason for the fast 0-60 is you can do it in 1st gear because its got 3:31's in the rear. The older GT500's had the 3:73 in the rear which pulled but you lost time due to a shift. Now I asked a SVT tech and he said the 13 is stronger, the difference is it just keeps pulling where the 11,12's stop pulling as hard at the upper speeds. If you have been an a Z06, I have heard that car pulls harder than the GT500.

Just something to be aware of if you haven driven one. Now I havent driven one, but have interviewed a few SVT techs, been on the mustang forums, and read published articles. Not knocking the car at all, just be aware. Mind you 3:73 on a new GT500 would be unstoppable!!!!!!!!!
