drove my fathers 2013 gt500 svt today

My father got his 2013 gt500 a few weeks ago and I finally got my hands on it today. This thing is a death trap way too much horsepower for the suspension in that car. Without going fast and hitting a bump the ass end skips sideways and the tires break loose way too easily when they are cold and they are not that much better when hot neither. I will say this the thing looks sick especially from the front but after driving it today I would still rather have a zl1

Awesome, man! I would rather have a ZL1 myself and I've never even seen either up close. I'd take a Shelby though .

I talked to a guy this weekend that owns one and he said..." it has all the power anyone ever needs but it's like driving my wifes accord. Just NOT what you want with that much power and for what I paid for it. It's pretty boring and I don't like it anymore at all".

Pm me his name and number. I'll take it off of his hands since he hates it so bad.

That was my conclusion after driving it, tons and tons of power with no way of containing it. Another thing that took some getting used too is the clutch grabs all the way at the top not a bad thing only took a few miles too adjust but it felt weird at first. My father has owned some nasty cars in his days ferrari's lambo's and a ford gt and he called me after he took it home and said this car scares the shit out of me
