He’s very impressed by it and thinks it will be much better on track than the Corvette C8. Also a shout out to how good the GT350 and GT350R still are.

Scoobs: Thanks for the link and he put out a GREAT writeup! I loved a whole bunch of his comments but this one stuck in my brain...

"The engine note is 100% Mustang once again, filled to its screaming 7,500-rpm redline with violence and orchestra in equal measures."

LOVE it and can't WAIT to get behind the wheel and experience this same exhilaration.

BTW, Leno's piece is up as well...

Good read, his comments about launch control lag is concerning for 1/4 mile work along with the complexity in the controls he described.
All that being said I am excited as ever to take delivery.

I can't to get behind the wheel of this beast. Worth the wait for these numbers.

Launch control lag is a common issue with the Nissan GTR as well. The computers just take some time to do the math it seems.

Time for an Intel i9 chip then, Kyle! <grin>

Yeah, I found a photo of the primary CPU that handles those calcs, they probably need to upgrade:

Damn. What a review. How much do Kidneys yield on the black market these days? I need like 100k and I don't need two kidneys.

 

[kilobravo]

Now THAT is "hardcore need", Yolo! (still chuckling from the kidney remark.)

Glad you called it a remark and not a joke.
WTS left kidney, Blood type O, Non-smoker, 100k Obo. 95k min. All sales final. You pick the date, I pick the hospital.

"And around a racetrack, the Corvette wouldn’t have a chance. Not in speeds, laptimes, or handling behavior. I know, I've driven one."

These reviews will keep the Shelby haters off of the GT500 posts and I for one am happy for it. They were waiting to pounce on any bad news but the GT500 didn't dissapoint!
