What is your perception of the 2011 Shelby GT500?

Try not to answer this from a "Camaro vs Mustang" fan boy perspective. Try to answer the poll just judging the Shelby GT500 on its own merits.

Thanks.

Not for me, don't like any Mustangs.

Nice car but alot of money.

SSyanide · 04-23-2010, 08:06 PM

Well...at least it's not a Toyoda...but I have to say, with some mods, they're pretty impressive, with the right driver.

It's a beast and looks great without the SVT Peformance package. Those thin stripes are ugly!

I am not a big fan of those thin stripes but I would definitely want the SVT package. I would live with the stripes.

they are plenty impressive without mods lol.

the 2010 is capable of 11s stock, the 2011 will be AT LEAST as quick.

with just a tire, these will be low 11 cars

A car I would own.

I may throw a Kenne Bell on my Camaro and go hunting however. :>)

I am thinking you might see Evan Smith drive a stock 2011 GT500 into the 11.6-11.7 range on the best run with stock tires. The tires they are offering on the 2011 with the SVT package are supposed to be pretty good.

I love love love the GT500's. Don't like the thin stripes on the 2011's, but still love it.

Great car. My friend has a 2009. I would like it better if it didnt say "shelby" all over it.
