Note: in pros I put handling, I'm not sure why people post this car handles sloppy or poorly or that handling is a con .. makes me wonder if they've road coursed their car. Even trash mags have recorded 1.01G skidpad pulls with the 2011. Having done many road course open track days in mine, with stock suspension & stock crappy F1's, I've passed everything that was on the track with me, Porsches, Vettes, WRX's, Lotus, Mini's, Ferrari, you name it, nothing has come close to hanging with me, let alone pass me ... except haven't been out with another Viper yet, but we're talking dozens & dozens of performance cars on many different days. Yea, All those drivers could suck, yea, I could be Steve McQueen good, but more probable is that the GT500, urban myths aside, is a dayum nice handling road race car. Just sayin, IMO.
Agree with previous posts +
Pros: Fun & Easy to Mod into supercar / king of muscle cars. Decent for insurance rates. Exhaust note can be tailored like no other vehicle to your specific liking.
Cons: Stock tires

. I kept up with a c6Z at homestead, but i believe its partly due to the guys driving.
As much as I love my Shelby it is simply no match for a C6Z on a road course. Honestly they can't even keep up with a base C6. To be perfectly honest a vette is a better performance car if you don't need a back seat. I needed one and that is why I bought the Shelby.
Pro's Very easy to make fast, handles great , stops great, rides nice and the mpg's are pretty go.
Con's 1-2 shift grind but I have learned to adjust to it, hard not to spend money on the car!!!
I do have track experience, none yet with Shelby as I just picked it up. Not that I am a magazine racer by any means, but just look at several articles comparing the two with lap times from the same driver, it's night and day.
