Seriously all that power and yet they didnt even bother with the suspension. Right cram 500 wait 475 whp and just keep stock suspension? That's just crazy.

i'd love to see the look on the owner of the $60k Rustang's face when he's beaten by well modded evo or sti... or even srt-4. (ie., AMS srt-4)

waste of money IMO.

your title under your name states "get off hte bandwagon"

how many ppl have evo's , srt-4s vs: how mny ppl have gt500's?

u are contradicting yourself. if he went and bought an evo and modded it to be fast hed be "on the bandwagon"

and think of whos buyign it, an older man. hed rather have a mustang because of hte name and the "supposed" power all mustangs posess.


dont get me worng id take a modded evo any day, just rambling on.

Becasuse they are only making like 8,000 of them and supposedely this is the only year they are making them. And it is faster than the Z06. Either way if you think it is nice or shitty or really just dont give a fuck, its his car I was just acknowledging the fact that he had just bought it. So ya no need for flamming about how a modded evo or some shit could beat it because alot of things modded probably could. Going from what the spec's on the net say it does 1/4 miles in the 12's. If that were true a TT 300zx with a few basic mods could take it. I love the fucking thing and he said he would let me drive it in a week.

He drove both and said the shelby was faster. It dosent really to me tho both of them are nice cars in my book, and he is tickled to death with the car so I guess thats all that matters.

well, it kinda actually does...because SVT lets the previous SVT owners have first dibs and whatever is left goes on the lot, which in this case has not been many at all, so the dealer has been marking them up like crazy in price, and have sold for 65k-70k. That's pretty baller for your everyday man. And like it's been stated before, the cars are really only being bought by 45+ age group. My ex gf's dad bought one, but he's also got a M5 and M Roadster sitting next to it...so I'd say he got it more for nostalgia.


oh yeah, as for the comment that it's faster than the Zo6.....
Zo6 has been proven it's faster and handles better than the GT500's in Motortrend & Road and Track.

this is still the fastest manufactured for the public SVT Cobra built to date though

Just because you're first in line for a GT500 doesn't give you "baller status." I can't believe the "qualifications" some people give out for this "baller status." Later, QD.

No it's not.:thinking:

Correct! The thing weighs right at 4000lbs! It needs the 500hp just to make it move! Hell, my puny 415hp Porsche turbo was just as fast.

The Z06 eats it alive! Same horsepower, about about 800-900lbs less in weight.

Are you on crack!?!?!

How is a 4000lb, 500hp car going to outrun a 3100lb, 505hp car!?!?! Are you nuts? Seriously, my old Porsche turbo ran low 12s and it only had 415hp; 12.29 @ 116.25mph to be exact. The Z06 is a MID 11s car and the GT500 is a piece of shit in comparison.

I was just telling you guys about a guy who got one of his dream cars and instead of the "oh well congrats for him". I got the usual IA comments of "well my NEON could whoop it" or "my car costed half that and would dust that thing". It really wasnt supposed to be a post about which car is better or which car is faster. I appoligize for getting the Z06 info wrong. But seriously I know that there are many cars that are probably better or faster, but im not here to debate on them. I was just letting you guys in on some good news for someone, so calm down with all the who's better shit.

FOR REAL.

its a nice car, someone has obviously done ok in the worlkd to be ably to obtain it, the ydeserve to have what the ywant, they dont want an evo, or a srt-4. he dousnt want your 12second porshe. theres hondas that can outrun your 12 second porsche, does that mean u should nt have bought a porsche? NO u bought it cause its what u wanted Y DONT YALL UNDERSTAND.

idiots.

all he was doing is sharing his experience. but i guess the nutswingers of evos ect have to chime in...

03-18-2007, 11:52 AM
Hah, nice...those are pretty cool. I'm sure they're pretty damn fast too, but I'd expect them to be faster being that they have 500 bhp. I'd take a GTO over it...but that sounds life fun.

maybe the guy is just a mustang fan, born and bred. Whether they will dust a zo6 or not doesn't matter to some people. Some people just like to own a car they "like".

why is that car not a baller car? Because is not 1/2 a mill?.. but about 60 to 70 % of americans cant afford it ?

I consider that A baller car with a % like that.... And When I say that.. Im estimating.. it can be worst....

And btw, dont let a car fool you.... I know a few people driving 60 to 100k cars who are broke and work only to pay a car note every month .. lame :lmfao:

from wikipedia...

Baller is used as both a noun and an adjective. Colloquially, it is often replaced with hella b, short for hella baller, and frequently abbreviated to "balla" due to its pronunciation. It is usually a compliment, and has taken on a meaning similar to cool.



and by it's own right, the Shelby Cobra GT500 is "baller" because it's still the fastest production Cobra to date, and turns plenty of heads.

and Julio pretty much hit the nail on the head. Granted NS Credondo got a little ahead of himself, it's all good because he rode in it and it felt pretty damn fast to him.

Well I know one thing...I got in my 300 and floored it and felt like a poodle. But thats ok cause he said he will let me drive it. Then again I have been dating his daughter for 2 years so we are pretty close. I LOVED that thing. Just got done looking at a 1966 mustang with a rebuilt 302. Pulls 12's and is fast as hell. Guy wants $6500 so I am really trying to sell the Z. 15 minutes later I was playing with a 88 corvette, pulled into my GF's driveway and he said he was interested in buying the car. He said he was interested for his wife, then I he asked for my number and said he would call me. Very ironic that I just got done wishing I had the money for this stang and a couple minutes later someone wants to give it to me.

BTW got pics of the GT500 today I will post up later because I am on the laptop and it dosent have all the software and stuff.

Listen, the point is this: The car is a heavy, fat pig. It weighs close to 2 fucking tons and will never garner any respect from me as a "Sports Car." It is a GT, but can never hold the title of sports car. It needs 500hp just so that it can move its fat ass. Let's see how well it does in the turns with 4000lbs while trying to corner.

I'd never waste my money on one. Given the price point, the C6 Z06 is untouchable.
