I bought a 2011 GT500 in Nov 2010. Awesome car. I've driven V8 Mustangs for years. Used the Shelby as my daily driver. Needless to say my daily commute was something I looked forward to. I changed the Goodyear tires out quickly. They wear very quickly as they are shaved. Nitto Invo's were much better tires. This bodystyle was the last Mustang for me. The new design starting in 2015 doesn't look like a Mustang for me.
The car was heavily designed. The cooling system is a work of art. Car never fails best bang for you buck. Likewise for 2014 raptor you will have never have problems with a Baja 1000 ready daily driver lol
Great car but I don't see myself going 200mph anytime soon. Give me some 4:10 gears for some light to light action. Then again sixty miles an hr all the way in 1st gear does sound kinda fun
***** If you're talking about when Ford took it to Nardo, you're wrong, Ford wouldn't let anyone in to see the proof and made no videos, they closed the course and ford claimed it did 202 No proof = nothing. testers in real life say it failed no matter how hard they tried to get it to 200
I own a 2013 GT500, on the I-10 going through Arizona in the desert at 4,000 ft above sea level and 77° out I did 202 mph on level ground. I did this twice once going east and once going west. I did it again in Colorado on the I-70 with my brother in the car who weighs 190 lbs. I am 145. So rest assured Ford told the truth. Also if you want proof you can find plenty of videos on RU-vid of people driving there 2013 and 14 GT500 at 200 mph. I didn't bother recording it because the videos are so common.
@scube steve SVT ordered the parts from a catalog, they didn't engineer anything unless they made something to turn the pages in the catalog SVT couldn't even make the engine block when it was only 550hp, Germans(Honsel) make the engine
awesome job ford/svt.... even tho the brakes suck great job... my svt lightning also has crappy brakes but that wont STOP me from abusing the rear tires.. pun intended
