CONS: Has wheel hop and the gas mileage is horrendous

REVIEW: This car belongs on the race track, but has the luxury appointments and comfort that make it suitable for daily commuting. It's a thrill to drive something with so much power that is also so surefooted when changing lanes and rounding corners. And it looks like a classic Shelby. People stop ...

CONS: Needs a few rear end mods to eliminate traction and wheel hop issues.

REVIEW: Fantastic car that can make your everyday commute a thrill. Don't underestimate the power. What those who promote buying a 60's muscle car never say is that those cars are generally finicky, uncomfortable vehicles they hesitate to take out of the garage except for cruise night and to air ...

CONS: Needs to go on a 700lb diet.

REVIEW: Go for the charger upgrade with cold air intake, flash tune and Roush offroad exhaust before 1000 miles and you can hit over 600 hp and retain your warrenty. Also must go with one of the suspension upgrades to lower the front and rear for handling. Definately needed due to the extra weight the ...

CONS: Stiff suspension and annoying speaker noice

REVIEW: Love the car and the overall performance. Only thing that bothers me is the stiff suspension. The speakers on the passenger side makes this annoying noice like something is rubbing the plastic cover. Ford would probably do better if they use a better speaker system. Overall, I would only trade this ...

CONS: Not the horsepower I would like for rural roads. Carbops. Top could be better too.

REVIEW: Nice try in the age of the pre green car. This is not like my 68 350GT convertible that snaps your head on the shift and unbelievable good differential. It is a nice looking car, more solid looking body wise than the older, far MORE AFFORDABLE model that Carroll Shelby composed. Would like to see ...

CONS: NONE!

REVIEW: I own one & love it!! I get head turns every where I go. It has the handling & response that one would expect with Carroll Shelby's name on it. I can not find 1 flaw in the car. Where can you get an AMERICAN made car with 500HP for around 55k?? Plus it has a back seat so my teenager can ...

CONS: Terrible wheelhop

REVIEW: With the exception of the horrific wheelhop this car has at the track, it is flawless in every other category. The seats are great and really offer good support for spirited driving. A lot of people on here complain about the dealer markups, but if your willing to do some looking you can find one ...

CONS: nice control at high speeds

REVIEW: THE MOST WONDERFUL CAR EVER BULIT WEATHER IT BE POWER, COMFORT, LOOKS, SAFETY, HANDLING ETC. ALMOST EVERY THING THAT A YOUNGESTER WANTS IN HIS CAR.I WOULD LOVE TO BY THIS WHEN FORD LAUNCHES IT IN MY HOMETOWN "INDIA". ...

CONS: road noise from agressive tires

REVIEW: This car with it's all out performance takes time to learn to drive, the 1, 2 shift will put you out of control with the massive torque if you are not on top of it. ...

CONS: NEEDS LARGER BREAK CALIBERS TO HANDLE THE EXTRA WEIGHT ... AND SO ON...

REVIEW: Dealer market up vehicle to 57k, not to include a gas guzzler tax of 1300.00 ,( All Star Ford) in denham springs,LA)) . Went out of state to get it cheaper. car is heavy and rear slips in turns, exceleration is semi delayed, bearly hear the super charger. But over all a great gas guzzler if you ...
