    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". As for baller status, you ain't got baller status until you have an exotic. All of us are just wannabee ballers HAHA. I'm talking mayback or however you spell that one fuckin mercedes or bentley or aston martin. Those are baller.

    hahah this thread is funny..... I bet 97 % of you in this thread can't afford a 60 to 70 K car... and are running your mouth about it... hahahah

    Car is a nice car.. Performance might suck.. But Im sure he bought it because he is a fan or loves FORD products. Would I buy it.. no..But
    I respect/admire cars that I dont see everyday.. the 500 is a nice car.... and 1/2 you ricers cant touch it.

    i know i cant afford a 60-70k car....that's a fact.
    i'm "budget baller" status, where as the minimum requirements for inclusion are:

    2 shiny /or rusted quarters in your posession

    makos during the week for free "on the ground" alcohol. shits not even bottom shelf!

    "GOOD EATS" is the hungryman XL or ramen noodle casserole with crushed saltine cracker crust.

    If I'm included in this post, I never bashed the car once. I think it is a nice car. My only comment was that it's not a "baller" car and I also know that I couldn't afford it. Later, QD.

    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

    Not because it isn't a half mil car. There are a lot of cars that aren't half a mil that are baller cars.

    I bet if you pulled to an event with an exotic and pulled up in gt500 .. the GT500 will get as many looks... Most americans wont know the diffrence unless they are into this thing.

    Now you;re getting carried away, lolol. I never said a baller couldn;t own one. Just saying it doesn't take a baller to own one. Later, QD.

    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.

    thats a stretch

    the average guy that sees a lambo is going to turn a cold shoulder to the ford simply because of the name because they have been told in every single movie in hollywood that its the pinnacle of cars

    Everyone has their own opinion of what is baller or not, anyways. I never faulted the car. Just said that I didn't think it is all that. And not because it is a Ford, either. Later, QD.

    True.. somewhat...

    When people see car that are rare as hell.. they will take a double take.

    But I do agree with you though.. some idiots will look at a lambo and think is a space ship on wheels or something.

    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.

    I still haven't seen one in person. I'd like to see it & hear it make a high speed pass. One of my friends is a big "Mustang guy" & he damn near drools everytime he talks about the GT 500. Hopefully your GF's dad will let you have a little fun in it. Maybe you can convince him to take it up to the track for a couple of quarter mile runs
