Fun to drive. Sharp looking car. Wanted a little more throttle response, but very satisfied by overall performance.

After selling my 2010 Shelby GT500 in 2016, I decided to look for another GT500 since I missed my 2010. I found a very low mile 2008 coupe in my favorite red with white stripes. Like the 2010, it's a beast to drive. It's also a lot of fun. It gets attention no matter where I take the car. These cars are not for those who don't understand 500 horsepower. They are dangerous especially if your driving skills are lacking. They do not have the refinement of the latest GT500's. For a car that's 15 years old, it still puts a smile on my face, but I respect it! I wish it had a better clutch and a back-up camera. But, I use it as a car show/cruise car and it's great for those purposes.

Old School Looks...Modern Power

Old school looks with modern technology make this one tough car. A nice car to look at, but even better to drive. Sure, you feel every bump in the pavement, but with 500hp and the whine of the supercharger, you quickly forget road imperfections. A true collector car.
