Yeah, it's not ment to be a daily driver. I had a 2010 gt500 and felt a lot of you your saying. It had 540hp and was a beast. I can't image 620hp in the same car with a few suspension upgrades over mine. I would still like to see for myself.

Tough decisions... Dream garage

What is that above the Masarsti? And if you don't mind me asking what was/is your dads occupation. He has a dream almost unreal garage.

That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure. My guess is some type of stingray

Definitely a car that needs suspension upgrades to be more comfortable in. Kind of similar to Viper's.

Although I took a turn in 2nd today while turning about 25mph and barely pushed the accelerator and got a tad squirrely. Nothing crazy just wasn't expecting it.

Awesome garage though!

no problems what so ever its a great car, great sound reliable still draws the attention of a 200k dollar car (if you like that) and looks great this is one of those cars that looks better in person it doesn't photograph well

and your better off buying one used from a dealer let someone else take the hit because they drop fast

I know scary I had an 03 Cobra putting 630hp to the tires. I drove it every day for 4 years. Went through 3 clutches and tons of drag radials but it was fun. Took me a few months to feel safe laying on it around town.

I don't know anyone who owns a Shelby who hasn't done suspension upgrades.

Still, "too much power" is a good problem to have. Maybe we're too used to mashing the gas and never losing traction? That happens sometimes in my daily driver and it pisses me off, so I like having more power than I can use. I don't want the limit to be the car - it should be me!
