Saw a Shelby Mustang 500GT yesterday

[sl114]

Just like this one:

 

 

I was coming down my road and as i was crossing this roared past me. Im not sure if it was a replica, but oh god it was amazing and sounded gorgeous!!!

 

I will own one of these one day, i WILL i tell Thee!!!

 

What other proper muscle cars do you guys like?

 

I have always been a stag fan and a vette fan, but never liked the Plymouth and such...

[Sarnie]

I love the new vette. And it comes in yellow

[lomoto]

I want the new Mustang V8.., in dark green with black center wheels with polished lips.. I think if they did one in RHD I would even swop the zed for that

A friend of mine in LA has a new Mustang GT. It's a beast. Also, last year me and the GF drove across the US and we hired a Mustang convertible for the job. It was only a 4.0 V6 jobbie as that's all Hertz had, but it still did the job (and I still managed to get caught speeding by a North Carolina state trooper). The Zed is much quicker than the V6 'stang imo. Was a pleasure filling the fuel tank up from empty every time for like 18 quid though!!

 

As for my fav muscle car, I love the Trans-Am Firebird. Smokey and the Bandit Styleee!! Yeah!!

[Removed]

I had a few 1/4 miles vs a couple of them (new GT ones) and there wasn't much in it, tbh. Drivers must have been shite

for around £30000 you can buy a new mustang converted to right hand drive by one of the top uk dealers,problem is the drive train disgn is about 200 years old.

We hired a Mustang Covertible in LA earlier this year. Also a 4.0 V6 but I was plesently surprised how good it was. I'd love a Shelby GT500.

 

As for the Vette. I was very interested in a Z06. 500bhp and a 7.2 litre V8, but was very dissapointed with the build quality. No where near as good as a Mustang.

 

There's also the issue of LHD. Not good on a performance car.

[Ian]

I like the Roush Mustang & the 67?? fastback mustang Wouldnt mind a Z06 though

Was a great trip Tim. Can't really remember how much it cost but I'm sure it was around the $400 mark for a week with insurance included. An absolute bargain if you think about it.

Actually, it may have been a lot more than $400, I honestly wasn't counting. That whole trip cost a fortune. Definitely worthwhile though.

Roush Mustang

Excuse the custard

 

Any of these please

[AndyC]

And carrying it on I'd absolutely love a Shelby GT500, just like in sl114 pic - same colour everythin, mmmmmmmmmmm.

 

Gotta say that Roush Mustang looks

[sl114]

Wow, its good to see a lot of us Zed owners like the same sort of cars.

 

I have to agree with Sanie, i really want a new Z06 in Yellow, but send it off to Lingenfelter to do some "tweaks".

 

I am also a huge fan of the Viper GTS
