Expectation shortfall

I purchased the car about two months ago. I didn't test drive it prior to purchase and I will never make that mistake again. I have owned most popular sport cars in the last decade from a Z01 Corvette to a Porsche Boxster and everthing in between and this car has been the biggest disappointment. The NAV quit working after a week. The shifter buzzes in neutral with the cluth out and the whole car shutters when you shift into first gear and the tranny is hot. Took to the dealership and they produced a factory notice saying this is "normal" on some lucky owners cars. Not worth the money. Sad it didn't live up to the legend. Wish I still had my Mustang GT.

A Beauty and A Beast

I have always been a huge fan of the Mustang, specifically, Shelby editions. This car gives you more bangs for your bucks. I fell in-love with this car the moment I saw the hood down (while sitting on a dealer's show room). Performance overall is grea. Drive is smooth. This car is definitely a keeper!

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.

Heard all about the great reviews for the Mustang. Got a chance to get the Shelby, and it speaks volumes for American car manufacturers. I have, over the past two years freed myself of all import cars and now own all American. The Shelby is FUN! A definite blast to the past when we adored American metal!
