[Pitbull1052]

god I love that freakn color!!!!!!!! dig the shoes too might be the best looking factory shelby wheel yet

[Smithr66]

Grabber blue:drool:

[BlazinEagle]

Great looking car just not a fan of the seats or the hood.

[plated]

hu oh the countdown to selling the 10 is on:D whers the underhood pics?

[cstreu1026]

Look at that sticker, $60,330! Shelby or not that's a lot of money for a Mustang. I'd still be happy to own one though.

[Foxxx5oh]

i dont like the narrow stripes, but other than that its gorgeous!!

[mustangboy]

Yeah I hate the stripes. Looks like something a high school kid would have done on is parents old Lumina

[k062693w]

:lol: It sounds like something you know from experience ??? :lol:


I'm a Vert fan, But I'm not digging it on that !!! Maybe a few pics Topless ( The car not you Beef :lol: ) would change my mind !!!

[Squale iii]

30 roll?

[Waffles]

Yeah, nice car but I'm totally not diggin the skinny stripes.

:eek:

[firestang70]

I like the car. The skinny stripes are on the performance package. If you get one without the package it has the wider stripes. Maybe some day.....

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

The stripes are terrible...way out of proportion. I can't believe someone gave the go ahead for that idea. I'm still trying to grow on the tail lights...i don't know if i ever will like them.

[05yellowgt]

I love everything but the skinny stripes. And the $60k price tag

[Squale iii]

C6Z>GT500...sorry. Probably faster, definitely better looking, better handling, better braking...just better all around!

[Squale iii]

I'm sorry...but the longer I look at that car...the more ugly it looks to me. It's like baby blue, ugly ass stripes, and about the dumbest hood scoop I've seen lol. I do like the wheels though. I'd like to see it in all black.

[1987coupe]

for some reason i dont like the taillights on the 10 or 11 cars. they took the bad ass look away and gave it a smiley face instead, but thats my thought

[cstreu1026]

It would look a whole lot better with a 4.0L whipple under the hood. That blower just looks tiny.

[Squale iii]

It would look a whole lot better with a 4.0L whipple under the hood. That blower just looks tiny.

Now that you mention it...it does look smaller than the ones I see on 03/04 cobras. Wierd..

[Squale iii]

for some reason i dont like the taillights on the 10 or 11 cars. they took the bad ass look away and gave it a smiley face instead, but thats my thought

It's a mixed emotion for me...I agree the look worse than the ones on the last models...however I do like the way the blinder works...all sequential and sheeeit lol.

[djom1cincy]

I like the color. As far as the options go, what comes with the electronics package option? I could do with out the svt performance package also for the price.

[04 Venom]

C6Z>GT500...sorry. Probably faster, definitely better looking, better handling, better braking...just better all around!

The Z is significantly faster.

[Squale iii]

The Z is significantly faster.

I figured as much, just too lazy to look up stats on both cars.

[USMCPONY]

Now that you mention it...it does look smaller than the ones I see on 03/04 cobras. Wierd..

Probly cuz the motor and the car is bigger thus making it the sc look smaller. Thats my only guess.

[Roush GT]

Grabbar Blue is hideous and the stipes aren't helping.

[beefcake]

I like the color. As far as the options go, what comes with the electronics package option? I could do with out the svt performance package also for the price.

DVD Based nav system , hard drive, dvd player when stopped, auto climate control


The Z is significantly faster.

The new car will be pretty nice from the factory, with 3.73' over the 3.31's 100 lbs in weight reduction, the car is going to be pretty nice

[93RedNotch]

Im diggin it. Is it have the 5.0, right? It would be nasty if they put a 5.8 in her! lol

[beefcake]

Im diggin it. Is it have the 5.0, right? It would be nasty if they put a 5.8 in her! lol

5.4L, alum block this year. Engine bay looks kick ass compared to last year

[cobrajoe]

Grabber blue:drool:

What he said! X2:cool2:

[satan jamez]

I noticed a lot of hate towards this car :(. I'm almost afraid to say I love everything about it. If I were to order one it would be just like this but a hard top and all black seats.

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

I could live with the tail lights but i'd order mine without the stripes and have the wider style put on myself.

[USMCPONY]

I could live with the tail lights but i'd order mine without the stripes and have the wider style put on myself.

The stripes are stickers and very easy to take off. I would have them painted on and cleared.

[STEVE_POE]

Beautiful car. I just finished a build for a customer and he went with that color on his 05/09. wasn't to keen on it but after looking at it for a month I't really grew on me.

Terry . I want to look at and drive a 2011 v6 6spd car . "NEW PROJECT " I'm thinking about . got any yet ?

[5.0calypso93lx]

Not sure why, but this car does pretty much nothing for me. I think the Shelby in general has great potential, but there are just too many things about this particular car I'm not a fan of.

[03z06vette]

C6Z>GT500...sorry. Probably faster, definitely better looking, better handling, better braking...just better all around!

C6 z06 is in a different class. the gt500 has a back seat. But i agree!!
The 10-11s are the worst looking to date of the gt500s


Z06 leaves it in the smoke!!

[Katmandu]

5.4L, alum block this year. Engine bay looks kick ass compared to last yearWHat are the specs ?

[Roush GT]

WHat are the specs ?

aluminum block 5.4L engine, with 550 hp and 510 lb·ft of torque.

[cstreu1026]

Grabber blue...I can take it or leave it. The stripes don't really bother me but you can always order one without them. I like the wheels just not on that car. I have always been a big fan of that style of wheel but for some reason I just don't like them on the new Mustangs. I'd rather have the standard wheels. My biggest hang up with the cars is the price. I just couldn't justify $60,000 for a toy but if I did it would be in Sterling Grey with black stripes.

[djom1cincy]

For 60k you could have a loaded new c6 that will beat a Shelby at anything they want to compete at. You could have a lightly use z06 that would walk all over it for the same price. I'm a mustang fan but for 60k I'd be a vette owner.

[05yellowgt]

Not sure how everyone can say that the 2011 GT500 will get smoked by a C6Z when nobody has tested one. The 2011 GT500 has lost weight and picked up in power and better gearing than the previous year. The aluminum block weighs about 110lbs less than the cast iron block and all of that is coming straight off the nose of the car.

[BigBadStang]

Over the last 20 years or so, I'm sick to fuggin death of the Mustang vs. Vette bullshit.
A Vette is a 2 SEAT SPORTS CAR. The Mustang is a 4 SEAT PONY CAR.
I would hope a sports car could hold it's own against a pony car.
This car stomps the dog shit out of any other pony car offered by any major manufacturer PERIOD.

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

Yeah i agree, the comparison is retarded....but the reason you see it anymore is because of how much these limited production Mustangs are going for, so it becomes natural to look across the street and see a Vette for similar money and ask yourself why wouldn't i just buy that? I'll also add the price of ownership vs. a Vette is going to be a LOT less.

[djom1cincy]

It gets compared to a vette because it has the same price tag as a vette. I don't see the other ponie cars costing 60k.

[05yellowgt]

Well people see the HP figures and assume they are competing in the same class when they are not. Just wait and see what the price for the z/28 supercharged camaro is going to be like if it ever makes the light of day. Won't be any cheaper than a comparible GT500.

[Pitbull1052]

how about this Grabber Blue one....... not to far off on the price a just a few more pony's under the hood.....

Get rid of all the stupid stripes and words everywhere and some new wheels and I'd rock it's nuts off.

I think people say that because a 2010 Shelby was beaten in every performance category by the base C6 LS3. Losing 100 lb. is great--particularly off the nose, but no way will it run with a C6Z that is still 700lbs lighter. Frankly, i'd rather have a 3500 lb. GT with the 5.0 and modest bolt-ons. It is going to be a GREAT car.

[BigBadStang]

I know of more than a few people that have dreamed of owning a Vette for ages. Then they finally get one, and 8 months later it's for sale. They are a PITA to try and drive everyday. If you are a person of any size (height, and or weight), bad knee, or back, they will make you miserable in short period of time.
2 TOTALLY different cars, with 2 TOTALLY different target consumers...no matter how much HP, or price, so just please stop the Vette vs. Mustang, or Camaro, or Challenger comparisons.

[redfirepearlgt]

change taillights back to 05 design. widen the wierd looking (looks like someone cheaped out) stripes, sorry don't like the hoopty rims, (18's are big enough), and lower the price tag 35000.00. Sorry gang, I'll keep my 05 or go back to an edge body first. Have not been impressed with Ford's design on the stang since 10. Good job on the HP increase though and returning the 5.0 liter in the GT. Now lets just get a 429 in the car like the 1969 had and add today's technology to it!!!!!

[Ranger50]

Just need a few sticker removal wheels for my die grinder, a reat seat delete, a set of Sparco seats, and the removal of the bloated electronics package. Then that pig is about OK, still hate the sloped away front fenders and fugly pointed tailights.

a new c6 will get SHIT ON by a stock 2011 GT500, I remember when a stock07 GT500 shit on a yellow one leaving a cruise in last year from a roll. I would believe the corvette handles beteter, but with good tires GT500>C6 roll or dig. Though I do agree a Z06 would hand a 2011 its ass in any catagory.

well no shit tony, there is not denying the Z06 is fast, but a C6 is different. However, the old man still wants a STOCK, NOT stock, but STOCK STOCK Z06 from a roll. Ive heard a bit about the low 11 high 10 stock Z06s.

Um...pretty sure the 10 second Z06 was stock other than the tires it was on. And from my googling on C6's, I'm seeing 12.2@117. Let me find a few sites to verify this.

http://www.the370z.com/other-vehicles/13091-took-my-c6-corvette-1-4-track.html

another 12.2-12.3 @ 117.

I heard they were running wide ass tires and skinnys up front. Removed the rear brakes or replaced them with something smaller to fit the bigger wheels on? I read something like this somewhere.... I need to do some research :D

edit: that C6 isnt stock either? So whats the point?

[Squale iii]

Not a clue. And if it was...would that mean the GT500 is faster stock wheel vs stock wheel? Nope.

[2007ShelbyCobra]

ahhhhh, your killing me, there is a thread on SVTP about this, and im too lazy to look for it

[04 Venom]

I would believe the corvette handles beteter, but with good tires GT500>C6 roll or dig. Though I do agree a Z06 would hand a 2011 its ass in any catagory.

The November 2009 issue of Car & Driver compared the 2010 GT 500 to the Corvette GS (same engine as the C6 but it is little heavier than the base coupe because it has the Z06 wide body, brakes and tires)

0-60 Vette 4.1 GT 500 4.5
1/4 Vette 12.5/116 GT500 12.7/115

Similar results in Road & Track, but I can't remember the issue. Same drivers same course. You may do better or worse depending on your skill as a driver, but the relative differences would remain. Don't even talk about cornering, braking or road course times. The C6 is cheaper than than the GT500.

I agree with Big Bad Stang that these are two different cars and the better comparison is the Mustang/Camaro--Mustang wins. But your statements are inaccurate.

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

Ahh...whipping room here we come.

[beefcake]

the z shouldn't be compared anyway, a new c6z isn't the same price, it's more

you need to be comparing to a c6. this is a vert and stickers for 60k

we have a white 3lt (coupe) that stickers for 59025.

you take the vert off of the car and your going to come in around 4k less than the c6.

you've got better gearing, more power and better tires this year,

i guarantee you this car will do some running with a c6

not to mention, with the 4k in savings, spend $500 on a tune and a pulley and your about 600-625 crank hp, yeah, it's heavier, but 170-195 hp will do a lot.

I agree with you Beef, a stock 2011 GT 500 should run with a base C6. I would still give a slight edge to the Vette stock, but the GT 500 has more upside potential with a pulley. My disagreement is with 2007Shelby Cobra; he is plain wrong.

However, a 3LT is a loaded C6; isn't a 1LT C6 cheaper than a base GT 500 coupe?

[04 Venom]

Um...pretty sure the 10 second Z06 was stock other than the tires it was on.

The fastest VERIFIED time for a bone stock C6Z, including the crappy Goodyear runflat tires, is 10.981 at 128.90 (1.77 60 ft) by Jamie Furman at Budds Creek, MD on 11/30/2007.

[05yellowgt]

We'll have to see what Evan Smith can do with a 2011. Probably won't be able to touch the C6Z times but I'm expecting a .1 or .2 better than a 2010 in the 1/4

Hey beefcake your new 2011 gt 500 has my grabber blue paint job man ,, lol,lol,,lol, well what do we do about that?? your at ford at where????? and im at ford where ?????It does not matter ,,there still sweet man......<<<<<<<<<the new mustang gt 5.0 will be at our dealership may 4 threw 8th I hear but who know's man..And the gt 500 will be here at the same time......Come one come all.See you soon terry.

[cstreu1026]

The real question is how much would the car cost if it didn't say Shelby on it? I am guessing about about $10K less.

That's what I would guess with 100 lbs. less weight, 10 more HP and better gears--should be good for a .2 second improvement or a little better. High 11s or low 12s?

Yeah, the 12.7 ET is the same time quoted by FoMoCo for the 2011 5.0L GT. I'm certain the GT500 will be quicker than the GT, but by how much remains to be seen.
