    Who needs "the good old days"

    Simply the best performance car for the money! Where can you get a new car with 540 HP for 50K? Who needs the old muscle cars? Not me. been there and done that-engines that overheat, have lumpy idles, heavy clutch, constant fiddling to stay in tune and lousy brakes and handling. The 2010 Shelby delivers killer good looks, exclusivity, smooth idle, easy to drive fast--and this vehicle flat out hauls the mail! A senile priest can turn a high 12 second 1/4 mile in this car.

    Supercharged V8, 6 speed transmission, not enough technology to ruin the driving experience...they just dont and wont make cars like it anymore.

    This is my fourth Mustang in three years. I thought I'd start slow and cheap. First, 2006 V6, second 2006 GT, third 2009 GT500, now a 2010 GT500. I realized I lost a lot of money on the trade-ins, however, I love this car. It's so exciting to drive and people stare at the car. It looks meaner than any other of the previous GT's. You have to experience the car for yourself. I had a 2008 C6 Corvette, honestly, this car is much more fun to drive.

    Mine started clicking at about 50k miles Then at about 80k. The system just failed to everything going through the defroster vents. I fixed a broken trap door in my pickup and expected the same. Then I saw an add for dirty cabin filters that grossed me out. I changed the filter and ALL THE DOORS STARTED WORKING without any clicking!!! It’s at 110k now n everything still works great. While I’m here, I restored a Boss 429 and drove ti 62k miles. I wouldn’t trade my temperate but pretty darn fast 4.6L GT for any Grumpy ill-mannered Boss 9…
