My original ETA was 4/2 then moved to 4/12 but it was delivered at the dealership on 4/1. Go figure. Ford performance or your dealership has tracking once its loaded on the rails or truck. My vin was very low at M5500019. Yet my badge on the dash is # 201.
Picked up my 2021 Shelby GT 500. 4/1/21. Carbonized gray. Been waiting a long time for Ford to offer a lighter metallic gray.
Gone in 10.5 seconds....š¤Ŗ
Well she came in yesterday 4-1 . Thatās one week earlier then expected. New for 2021 Carbonized Gray. Vin # M5500019 Atlanta area ford dealer. 13 miles from home and have bought a ton of Shelbyās from them starting with 08 with no ADM.
My vin is M000019. Carbonized grey black stripes. should be in Atlanta 4/12.
Traded in my C8 now Iām back in a GT500. Heck got over $15K over what I paid as trade in value. Will wait for a Z06 Next year.
Since itās the first 2021 from the dealership I was willing to pay $3K over sticker...
Thatās a base C8 wait till the Z06 comes out and bring on those exotics. $309K comparison with a Shelby GT500 and a C8. Come on. Plus on a proper prepared track the Shelby GT500 is 10.5 all day.
The elephant in the room. Check out cars.com Carfax reports .Several GT350ās with over 40,000 miles have had their engine replaced. Not heard of any GT500 with oil consumption problems leading to engine issues. Just saying itās an Issue that causes some people to avoid a used 350. The 2020 350...
96 cobra. I agree a C8 with mag ride can easily be a DD. Just hit the Z bottom on the weekend. Most dealerships have their 2021 orders filled already. Since the 2020 production was cut short by 15,000 units . Those people that ordered a 2020 were moved into 2021 orders. sure in time there will...
On the flip side I bought my 2020 GT500 for sticker and got $5K MSRP over on trade value. Back in a C8 Z51 3LT for sticker. Order finally was built and delivered yesterday. Last of the 2020 production model run.
Enjoy your GT500ās guys. Bye bye for now.
Because the early Multimatic race cars were called GT 350R. This isnāt one. Because most people will drive these on the street. They do give a crap. Do you really think all 30,000 GT 350 owners track their cars ? Have you owned a 350R or base or a GT500 ? Just curious š§
This forum is starting...
Your title is a bit misleading. I though this was a comparison with a Mustang GT4 race car. Your 350R isnāt even a early Multimatic built race car. Those current cars engine has a CPC not a FPC. They tried the FPC for one year in the 350R race car and the vibration issues in the FPC engine and...
I will say the BMW and Volvo look like bad designed mustangs. Hats off to the GT500. Itās faster looks much better and cost less. Maybe thatās why we all own one.
This is what happens when Corvette goes mid engine. They win the championship in IMSA. GTLM class ...etc etc
They sell out all C8ās for 2020 and 2021. They bring in a new fan base .etc etc
Why is it that the Ford performance engineers couldnāt come up with an AWD system. Hell they had 5 years of planning to get this traction problem solved. Jaguar did it in the 16 F Type SVR. That car has only 575 HP. Without AWD itās a car without traction. Itās no secret and not hard to find a...
Some of you keep saying mommy and daddy. But he says his money comes from his site . Just reporting what he said months ago. The kid has improved a lot in his driving skills. IMSA has a few up and coming 20 year old drivers . I think Billy Johnson was 20 when he first started winning at the track.
Second video
Around 15:00 you see the C8 really puts down the power. The guy forgot to put his windows up on the final run against the C8. Maybe that cost him 1 mph
AWD would help the Shelby. But now you are talking more money and slightly more weight. The Jaguar F type R ( 575hp ) solved its...
Had a fun time watching this video. . Having owned a terminator yes this GT 500 is similar Power potential wise The GT350R to be honest was kind of boring on the street. No torque down low. This GT500 has all the low end torque and more. The gas consumption isnāt that bad. Maybe because Iām...
No matter what forum you go on people are going to report issues. Very few if any report nothing wrong with my car. A few issues might appear like wow tons of problems when in fact there arenāt. So far so good with my GT500.
Heater hose perfect.
