    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…

    This is my sons dream car, and I was very lucky in purchasing an example in the middle east where I reside. This is the first American muscle car I have owned and I'm not disappointed. The car is "visceral" in every sense.Aggressive and bold styling, European quality leather interior and great handling make this vehicle a pleasure to own and a real head turner.I believe this model will be an appreciating modern classic. Mid life crisis,bring it on!

    I bought a new 2010 Shelby GT 500. I kept it for six years. With 4400 miles on it, I sold it because of health issues. The Shelby was a great car. Although I used it for car cruises, and pleasure driving, I can't say what its capability was at the drag strip on a road course. The car turned heads everywhere I took it. The exhaust sound and whine of the supercharger was great. I did not mod the car. I can say, it lacked traction and required me to be careful and respectful of the horsepower. The ride and comfort weren't bad. I'm sorry I sold the car. It should have been a keeper.
