SHELBY GT500: The Expirence

 


here's my overview of the Shelby GT500...

Interior:

1. The steering wheel is great. I love how Ford didn't just leather wrap the steering wheel but also intergraded some suede along with it(feels great in the hand) 
2. the leather RECARO seats are awesome to sit in, they really contour to your body and hold you snug. but when you go to check your blind spot...the headrest gets in the way.
3. the center-stack might look bland, but in fact it is great, the buttons are so easy to press and everything is right there at your fingertips. the Shelby GT500 has the Shaker System 1000 and is nice for jammin' out in.   
4. the pedals, especially the clutch is light but is a bit on the long travel side.
5. the white Shelby GT500 shift knob is by far the "best" feature of the interior, its appealing and easy to shift, and never slips out of the hand. I'm glad Ford kept this knob in the Shelby GT500.
6.  I thought the dash was neat because of the soft touch material its made of.
7.  the cup holder cover "flips" into the console which I thought was cool and they light up like the gauges do (you can customize the color scheme in your mustang)
8. the back seat isn't big enough for people to sit in (especially if you sit behind me because I'm a big husky guy.) except small children.  you have to really hate someone to put them in the back seat of this car.
9. when you open the doors on the Shelby GT500 the window slide down just a tiny bit.
10. the speakers on the side of the doors are big and look cool but I bang my feet against them everytime I get out of the car.

Exterior:

1. All in all the Shelby GT500 is a great lookin' all American Classic style car and not much is to be said of the exterior because people have their own opinions but I will say this...on this Shelby, the Gt500 Stripes were stickers instead of paint on, so it made the car look horrible. plus they start to fade after a while.
2. I don't have a pic of the outside yet but it was oxford white w/red stripes.
