Ok my first impression was that it has quite a pop , this super charged Ford Engine has a definite umph to it. If there is a quarter tank or less, it is really quick, with a full load of gas and a passenger, it is a bit sluggish. It is super easy to drive.
The car is also very docile, in other words, (as an exmaple) my Viper is menacing, hot, loud and lightning fast. This car is quite, fast (though not nearly as fast as my super charged Viper or a GT) and a bit more comfortable.
One thing all my current cars have in common is that they illicit an emotional response and this one fits in nicely (you gotta love American muscle!). I had one person taking cell phone pics as I pulled out of the dealership and when I went to gas it up , I had another stang driver pull in just to see it. This was just on the way home today.
Overall , it's quite, it can fit the kids in the back and is still mighty quick.

So here is my question that I just don't understand. Are you completely happy with everything your shelby came with? I was at the dealership the other day picking up my GT and I went to look at the Shelby. Definitely impressive but I don't understand why any manufacturer makes a high performance car of that range ( Stangs, vettes,comaros etc...) and leave what I seem to think some things unfinished!! There were saleens sitting right next to the Shelby and by looks, the Saleen was more impressive... Wheels, tires, suspension and upholstery.... I love the idea of being able to put the whole family in the car but don't make me have to put rims and tires on my 70K shelby,,, I mean C'mon.. Please don't get me wrong.. I want that car too but please stop making the LX models of these muscle cars... Yours looks great.. Congrats. Was it signed?

TM , I do not particularly like the interior. That is my biggest pet peeve, also the exhaust is almost silent...too quite and needs work for it to be a true muscle car on another note....
I fell in love with the new style mustang the moment I first laid eyes on it. I figured I would wait for the factoy 500HP before I got my stang and started messing with it.
Bottome line:For the 45K sticker it is great, for the 15K + market adjustment, it falls a bit short.
I still love it though.
Bony c'mon man! give up her name so we can all do an internet search!!!

A Ford dealer friend sold the first GT500 the dealership received for $30,000 over msrp. It's a wonderful World.
Thanks for the info/feedback.Wanted to make sure I didn't come across like a jack hole. I think the throw back to retro age was absolutely brillant. Everytime I see the last recent model, I point at it and sy, "No one wants you anymore". But answer me this please. I sware I saw a sticker that read 550hp and that was on a stang. Honest to goodness truth. Was I dreaming or did I see a factory upgrade on it?? :confused

the Saleen Extreme comes with 550hp from the factory. It's little 4.6L 3V motor is no match for the potential of the 5.4 4V though. Also it's price is right about 70K base MSRP.tmstunts#1233 said:
