Anyone remember when the 07-09 GT500 came out and everyone complained it was nose heavy, wouldn't handle and was a boat? so ford put the aluminum bock it it, gave it recaros and tons of suspension upgrades in 2012-2014. Then the Hellcats came out and all of a sudden we don't care about handling lol I swear you could give people a golden egg and they would still complain.

It’s bench racer mentality. People hop in these cars and mimick what they read online. Reality, majority of owners can’t drive a car near its potential anyway and yet they’ll complain.

personally I thought the 07-09 GT500 was still gobs of fun.

As bad as I wanted the GT500 stomp out the dodge it just isn’t happening. So that’s done. That venom kills demon comment must have been about a road course. I did think the GT500 would do better at a roll race against the Red Eye but dam it got walked. So I was salty for a few minutes and got over it. Oh well. With that said I would buy the GT500 because I’m a ford guy. I would watch out for demons though, and red eyes for that matter.


Edit: the memes are great. The rear view one had me rolling. Good work.

Driver error?

Fastest times for both cars are mid 10's, but the GT500 traps 6-8 MPH on average.....
Thats the thing, everyone wants to compare 'fastest times'. They dont happen every day.
On this day, the Model S beat the pants off the GT500 3 times in a row. The GT500 even redlit on 2 of the passes and the Tesla went around it both times.
I would venture to say that Model S P100Ds will regularly beat GT500s at the dragstrip short of a hero pass from a modded GT500.

There’s def a lot of ****ery in here. I don’t think I’ve seen an overly impressive mildly modded hellcat or stock demon at the same track that Shelby was running 11.1s vs the Tesla.
