2006 Ford Mustang

Shelby GT500 - LOTS of power, but easy to drive

By BobShelby (FL) on Monday, July 29, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 175

Pros: "Powerful, awesome exhaust sound, love driving it!"

Cons: "Small gas tank, hood prop rod, no spare tire"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Got my 2014 Shelby GT500 about a month ago -- luckily I just so happened to be at the right place at the right time - each dealer gets allocated only a few of these and they FLY off of the lot QUICKLY. Have about 175 miles so far, and am still in the break-in period. Just need to press the accelerator down about 1 inch for normal driving. That said, the car is easy to drive and the exhaust sounds awesome! Mine came fully loaded except for the glass roof (which I preferred not to have anyway). Lots of electronics to learn how to use, but suspect that I will get used to it as I drive it more. Don't normally get the factory extended warranty, but with everything that is packed into this baby, I thought that it would be a good idea. Front seats are comfortable, rear seats are pretty cramped. Trunk space is good considering the size of the car. OK, now for the cons. Door/hood/trunk fit could be better, but is not unacceptable. Hood latch is not easy to find/release. Factory floor mats were pretty cheap - I've already replaced them and added a trunk mat. Hood prop rod instead of struts - getting ready to add struts and get rid of the prop rod. So, for about $300 took care of floor mats, trunk mat and prop rod - problem solved! Mileage is not great (that said, there is no gas guzzler tax), but what would you expect from a 662 HP, supercharged car? Only has a 16 gallon gas tank, so plan on filling it up frequently. No spare tire (guess that is a weight saving issue, as there is room for one). Overall, based upon my experience so far, I HIGHLY recommend this car. My friends are lining up to sit in it or drive it. Can't wait until the break-in period is over and I can see how it really accelerates!"

My Mustang GT came in yesterday! I LOVE HER SO!

By Lena Marie (MI) on Tuesday, July 23, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 59

Pros: "Sleek, fast, sexy and such a riot to drive."

"I love this beautiful car. My third (white no less) Mustang GT premium pkg. From starting at around 280 hp with my first... 360 with my second. And now 420 with this beauty. I am finding I love everything about her. She's sleek and smart... And actually has a functional hood now! Real vents!! yahoo! Love the stripes in the seats and the glass roof is amazing. Still learning the curves as all the techy stuff can be a bit overwhelming. I just want to listen to my favorite tunes and keep the wheels on the ground. The ONLY drawback I've seen thus far, is the rear spoiler I ordered. It has 3 towers and it's quite tall. It truly takes up a third of my viewing area. I am afraid this is going to be a problem, as I don't like having an obstructed view. I'm 5'2". I've had spoilers on my other Mustangs without this issue. I will be calling the dealership to see if they can do something, as I NEED to see behind me. I think about her all the time and can't wait to spend some more time together and get her striped up. I will never sell this one. Ever."

Fun to Drive

By SuspenderJohn (TX) on Saturday, July 13, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 11,500

Pros: "Comfortable, Fun to drive, Good AC"

Cons: "Too much power, Miniscule back seat"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"Having an F150 as my other vehicle, I was looking for something small and fun-to-drive. This Mustang fits the bill. I like the heavier feel of the V8 while driving on the road, but this car has much more power than I need. For those who do not "need" the GT nametags and the big fog lights in the grille, I suggest the V6 model as a better option."
