.... However the new mustangs of any sort don't have the WOW factor a gt500 has. It's as simple as that. I was debating a brand new fully loaded GT or 13-14 Shelby. Glad I went with the Shelby and never looked back. I have other mustangs of ALL kinds (including new roush) on the road giving me thumbs up and smiles all day when I'm cruising in the trinity. I did not get this car for that reason by any means but other people's reactions tell me I made the right decision........ the dealership when I got there I was in awe, "wow, am I really actually going to sit in this car? Am I actually going to own a GT500?!" I realize I'm not the only one who thinks this when I'm in the road. #resellfactor
So you bought your GT500 to impress others?
Had a 2016 loaner while my GT500 was in the shop. I cannot imagine how anyone could think a 2015 is a much better car.....
Ford thinks the s550 is better. There are several reasons the s550 is "better". If it weren't, the GT350 and upcoming 500 would still be based on the s197, but obviously it/they arent.
I could never live with a 15-18 GT after owning two GT500s......even if it could win in a boring straight line battle.....
Straight line battle is main area where the GT500 shines. If you bought it because of its "comfort" or "handling prowess" you had a solid salesman.
