When I was car shopping and bought my SS, I almost got a GT500. But it had 48k on it, and that was too many for me lol. Close one

One would think with the internet at your fingertips you would search before making yourself sound foolish. The GT500 is Shelby in name only. Ford only pays licensing for the Shelby name. The car is developed, designed and built 100% in house by Ford. Shelby does not call any shots, SVT does. The car never goes to Shelby and comes off the same assembly line as other Mustangs. By the definition of the term aftermarket, it simply is not.

Which is why my Shelby GT, despite being worse in every way, was more of a real Shelby than a GT500.

Are you that dense?

Mustangs are complete garbage handlers that burst into flame when turned any direction but straight, yet until the zl1 and 1le, they out handled the irs equipped camaros.

So, either the base irs on the camaros blows or mustangs handle exceptionally well considering their crapttasitic suspensions...

OR, as others have said, GM better equips their cars with rubber that can handle the power and cornering.

Im Sure youll find some way to discredit any point that you dont agree with so oh well.

This ^^^ I can agree with.

Note: aggieguy13....you might want to give it up before you give the great state of Texas a bad name.

Hey, I consider myself an expert on track racing... I've played a LOT of Forza.

I actually have GT5 and a Logitech G27 racing wheel but that game is boring to me. Terrible car sounds, almost no customization, bad graphics even though PS3 is more powerful.

Of everything Sony got right, car sounds was not one of them. To be honest it's been years since I played GT.

You'll also chime in when the information you have is incorrect.

It happens to everyone; however, you present things so assertively yet you're not humble enough to come back to acknowledge you were wrong. You did the same thing in that 4th gen thread regarding gearing. Opinions are one thing, but they're merely anecdotal. Facts are facts.

It's ok to be wrong -- we're human -- just be willing to admit it rather than continue to dig a hole or run away completely.
