Had a blast 07 GT 500 mustang

[Andrew1972]

I had my first experience honestly ever driving a Mustang. My brother in law handed me the keys to his 2007 Mustang GT500 Shelby. The engine and supercharger noise so addicting. The power of 20-80 MPH pulls outstanding. The car though felt most comfortable straight and somewhat unsorted putting power down. However rowing the 6 speed manual coupled to 500HP outstanding.

No idea what a GT is like but this car was insanxe.

Did you even get out of 3rd gear? My best friend and Godfather of 2 of my kids had a 2015 Shelby with some "work" on it. Insane straight away power.

Those cars are awesome.......The 3V 4.6L installed in a 2007 GT is a dog!!

I was so mad at ford for not doing a proper suspension on those.

Got to take one for a quick drive to get gas when a convertible version came in on trade. It was rainy and was scary fast.

Never made it past third.

The top of 3rd gear is where they can really put down the power, Assuming it has a performance summer tires on the back?

One thing I noticed with my 15 year stint at a shop that solely worked on domestic high performance vehicles.......Rare/limited number performance cars usually have old/hard tires on them! 5 years is about it for performance summer tires & drag radials.

Had a customer get killed after a blowout at 100+ MPH because he ignored my warning about old tires on his '99 Corvette with a supercharged 408 LSx stroker. Make you want to take a drill to every questionable "ZR" tire!

One of our managers has a convertible and picked it up from Shelby … wicked 5.8L but has huge Brembo brakes to help arrest the rage it puts down …

Stock a new GT is faster but it's not as much of an experience.

Now a '14 662 bhp car with less weight.... What a ride....

It also handled much better with the aluminum block and much improved suspension.

PS a 662 with stock tires will spin them from an almost 80 mph roll with the traction control off unless the asphalt is fresh.
