It's pretty hard to stop a cars pull when it has a fast run on you like that....to pull away, is even tougher.

Not to hijack.... but whats the deal... there are gt500's now and there are also Shelby GT's? Are some of them not 500's? Like a GT 350 or something? Just curious, Ive seen a few of those around town but I dont think they are 500's....

Oh well, the GT500 guy could have been in a hurry...
Anyways, good kill. Your car is nasty, no doubt about that man.

No hijack. It's all good. I know what a GT 500 is, just as well as I know what ***** is.

No way would it have competed at that speed,...at that power level. Just not possible bro.

Yea good kill for sure either way. I was curious cause there are probally 4 of them around town that everyones calling "GT 500's" or "Ellanore." -how ever u spell it- I think most of these are just Shelby GT's. Maybe Shelby has a special series of Gt and then the 500 is like all their daddys or something. Im sure one of these cobra guys can explain whats the deal...

I've seen too many red ones (they have the availble charcoal/red combo interior which is nice) and not sure I like the grabber orange even if it is somewhat rare.

I tell you what though, I saw some pics of the new limited black with red stripe color package the other day...that was pretty damned hot!

The GT500 are the bad *** S/C ones. The Shelby GT are a cheaper version. Basically they are just a normal GT with a few bolt-ons and some body stuff...a.k.a. marketing gimmick.

I cant wait till someone comes looking for the Stormtrooper with their 700 or whatever rwhp GT500, so they can see what real power is all about!!

My friend has a car that would drag your friend's ***...
I don't need to know someone with a badder car.
