Attention getter!
by matchbox AZ on 01/23/2010.
Trim: 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 Coupe, Owned 1 year.
3
Pros:
Aceleration, braking, attention grabbing looks and sound. Meeting lots of new people with it. The surprise on peoples faces
Cons:
Interior could be better. Shaker 1000 sucking up trunk space. I could say fuel mileage but nothing this fast does any better. The fuel tank should be larger for trips.
Overall review:
It is not a garage queen. I bought this car to drive and I do. I use it to go to work some days. I have autocrossed it. I have taken it on long trips. The interior could use some better material in places but is mostly satifactory. The rear seat it tight but functional as long as the front seat is not occupied by too tall folks. I would like to have larger tires since it is easy to overpower the current setup. Within its current limits it is well behaved and does nothing unexpected. If you hammer the throttle the backend gets loose and starts to come around. If you hammer the brakes, it wants to go straight. If you drive it smoothly it is very quick. But it has enough power that if you decided to do some drifting it cooperates. You do have to remember that it is closing in on 4000 lbs that you are tossing around. In short a much more flexible car than might be expected.

I Feel the NEED for SPEED!
by Cobra Joe on 07/09/2012.
Trim: 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 Coupe, Owned 4 years.
1
Pros:
Technical Service Bulletin directs FORD to replace the clutch and test synchronizers in the transmission. While this was being done I replaced the stock shifter with a SCOTT DRAKE shifter, SHELBY shift lever and ball. GREAT change, reduced shift throw by 35%! Changed the restrictive intake with a JLT 127mm carbon fiber which included a custom tune, end result, 550 rear wheel HP!!! I LOVE my SHELBY!
Cons:
One rattle in the dash, on the passenger's side
Overall review:
I want to buy the 2013 model to go with my 2007 so I have the SHELBY bookends. Also thinking about upgrading my 07 to a SHELBY SUPER SNAKE! When driving this car I always get the "looks". Camaros and Challengers don't even try, they need their doors when it's cold and rainey.

Super car
by Joe/ Stafford, VA on 03/13/2009.
Trim: 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 Coupe, Owned 2 years.
1
Pros:
Good performance, eye catching appearence. Fun to drive - however you must practice driving skills. It is a monster and can get away from you quickly.
Cons:
A lot of power but back end can't keep up. Maybe its too light or tires are not wide enough - although they are already almost a foot wide. Maybe independent suspension would help. If you don't practice the tires can spin a lot, especially if you turn the traction control off. If you want to smoke tires then this is the car. Also, looks too much like a standard Mustang GT - not enough Shelby flare. But if someone ask the difference just tell them to pull along side and show them.
Overall review:
Great car, fun to drive, great performance - but again learn to drive it before you put it through its paces.
