could care less its really not that impressive for the money it costs. I can do a few mods for less on my SS maro when it gets here and eat that horse alive. Looks to much like a reg stang and that interior is hard and plasticy and that design although refreshed is stale and old

From the sounds of it it doesn't have to be as good, only marginally worse and the GT500 still spanks the Maro SS around a track stock vs stock. However you are paying $10,000 more in order to be able to do that. I do like the looks of the GT500 over the 370Z anyday..

Exactly. 150 shot on the SS would make a drag race with a GT500 interesting.
Same goes with the 'Stang though. |

I like this facelift a hell of a lot more that the GT's. She's pretty, lets hope the boys at SVT can get that suspension up to par!

Yes its gorgeous, but c'mon guys. It'll be exactly like the GT in terms of handling. Even on the inside too. look at the seats, my wife's RAV4 has more bolstered seats than that.
BTW does anyone know why it isn't called the GT540? |

Interesting... so... for this to work you'd have to ignore what 'Ford' gives as the lb's for the mustang, claiming they want to hurt their product by listing it at over 3900lbs... but then assume Chevy has more accurate scales for their cars? Sorry,

I'm just saying that not all GT500 issues are of equal weight. What's funny is that you see people, usually the ones who want to bash the car in some way, posting up weights on the GT500 like "4000lbs" or "4100lbs", which is just disingenuous and unfactual. |
