  • Navigation system

Carbon Fiber Track Pack

A painted black roof is also available as a stand-alone option.

Which 2022 Shelby GT500 trim does Edmunds recommend?

With just one trim level, there's not much to recommend. We'd add the Handling package for the additional suspension adjustability and the Technology package for the navigation, blind-spot monitoring and upgraded audio system. The Carbon Fiber Track Pack is tempting, but it removes the rear seat and reduces the GT500 to a two-seater (not that you'd likely carry many passengers in the back anyway). We suggest that the extra cost is better spent on the many sets of new tires you'll eventually need.
