What other cars do you have in the garage besides the Shelby?

You need to understand the turns. Slow in, Fast Out.

Nice Bronco! I haven't had the roof or doors off of mine yet. Not sure that I will. I don't like being topless while off road either.
So you would not do this either I would suspect. :cwl::cwl::cwl:

Not a Shelby owner but I’ll butt in. I see a lot of folks with new Broncos in here. Do you all daily them? What’s it like living with one? I’ve test driven a few and they’re really nice but I don’t know that I could live with one daily. The ride quality isn’t that great (I know, it was designed as an off-road vehicle) and honestly it drove me nuts after about 10 minutes. I drove a Badlands and a Heritage for reference.

Ended up buying an Explorer ST instead of a Bronco, it’s a blast and super fast for a big SUV. Handles pretty well too

Badass daily! I'm a big fan of boost and 4wd.

I have a 2024 Bronco Wildtrak 4 door, which came with the amazing Fox shocks that ride substantially better than the Bilsteins on other Sasquatch Broncos, especially at higher speeds (Wildtrak is ostensibly a high speed desert running spec). The wind noise can get pretty ridiculous at 85+ because of the hardtop but I've driven it 700 miles in a day with zero real issues. It's not my everyday car but I enjoy having it and would drive it anywhere, any time. It's fun.

Thanks, that’s good to know. Maybe I’ll find a Wildtrak to take for a test drive. I know the Bronco was built with off-road in mind, but I was bouncing all over the place (our roads suck thanks to our winters, so I’m sure that was part of it) and that was too much for me.

On the bold, you probably wouldn't care for one long term. They're plenty stiff, but have better road manners than a current Jeep Wrangler.

The wife hates my 2-door JL Rubicon, but I love the thing. It's an acquired taste.

(Not a Shelby owner currently either, but I could spatter up this thread a bit.....)

Not sure where you’re going but I can cover my rzr no problem like that up by me headed over to the crest. Lol.

Well, I live in the desert so THAT type of off roading is non-existent. Plus I'm a former Toyota IH8MUD member!

Keeping the Bronco at our place in Las Vegas. It doesn't see mud!

When I'm off road it's typically BLM roads and Forest service roads. And some approved trails in Lake Mead Rec area.

I am all about a manual. Just for fun. I don’t care that you are faster. Enjoyment to me is more important.
Currently the IS500 has an 8 speed torque converter automatic with decently responsive paddles once everything is up to temp and you're driving it hard. The GT350 obviously has the manual. I'd honestly prefer to have the GT500 DCT in the GT350 and the GT350's 6 speed manual in the IS500, but that's just not reasonably feasible to accomplish. That would be the perfect blend for me. The engagement of driving the manual daily, with the PDK performance when tenths of a second matter.

ST's are cool trucks. Wife has the even faster Lincoln version and it's a blast. 494hp, 630lb/ft of trorque. 0-60 in 5.0 in an unassuming 3 row SUV with full air ride and Magneride dampers is pretty awesome.
