2020 Shelby GT500 Mustang leaked specs: 720HP @ 7500 RPM, 650 ft-lbs @ 4500 RPM, 4225lbs curb weight

HO...LY...S**T. This thread is an absolute disaster. I jumped on it to maybe get some info on the new GT500 I hadn't already heard and 585 posts later I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry over the absolutely asinine arguing I've read.

If you prefer an Ecoboost, GT350/R, GT, GT PP1, GT PP2, GT PP freaking 267, who cares? It's a car. I bought a 350 because it was a massive improvement over my '15 GT PP. extremely fun to drive, an extremely capable track car, and exactly what I wanted; not because of the Shelby name. I honestly don't care that it was $13K more expensive than the GT. Personally, I hate the look of the new 2018's, so the argument of spending less on a "just as fast car" is irrelevant because I don't enjoy the styling of the new 2018.

Some of us (not pointing any fingers) are arguing over things like age, and using unusual success at a young age as justification to be a dbag to people who don't agree with you. It's comical.

I'd love to see this thread go back to talking about the GT500 being a fat, slow, overpriced late bloomer over this.

Who asked You? Now let's get back to petty bickering and arguments

My apologies good sir! May I now join in this cluster? I will begin by saying I wish dishonor on your cow. I will now descend back into the depths of the "GT350 God Master Race Ultimate Car Over Everything" forums where I belong.

LOL

Didn't say it wasn't but it is not the norm especially with modern cars and how quickly they are eclipsed by new and modern technology. I too at have said that I would keep certain cars for life. Yet, here I am. Also, there are huge generational differences in owners from the 60's and today.

Yes and no. My 68 has changed hands 3 times. My grandmother, my father and me.

But I digress. I own a handful of cars I have no intent of selling. I am the exception I guess.

This certainly has been a great work read. Having an inferiority complex must be hell.

How much for the 68?

I’ll start bidding at $5, a (slightly) used gift card to Dunkin Donuts, and some pocket lint.

I'll be honest, the car means so much to me, I barely drive it. If something were to happen to it, there is no replacing it.
My father and I finished the restoration just months before he passed away. I drove it in 2014. That was the first time it had been driven in 25 years. Crazy, right?

Not crazy at all. I personally would drive it more in honor of my Dad but I understand your sentiment.

Well, I was going to respond, but I like the direction this conversation is going. Let’s see some pictures of that ‘68!

Plus, the weekend is about to start, so I’m about to go offline for the next 3 days. Responding would be useless, as I don’t have any time to kill lol

Joke’s on you, MY NAME ISN’T JAKE!

My legal name is Jake_zx2, and I identify as a 2003 Ford Escort

Whatever you say Jake. We'll enjoy your hiatus. Take care and be sure to look both ways before crossing the street.

Are you talking about the lousy performance of a GT350 compared to a GT inferiority complex? Or the I bought the cheap car and wanted the expensive one type of inferiority complex?
