Not a fan of the little stripes. Saw one at the auto show. I do like the car, though.
My Review of the 2011 GT500

Great review
Very nice job with the writeup,
Im a 2010 owner, Wow is all i have to say for 2011, my 10 handles like its on rails, the new suspension should add to an already great package, n lower the stance a scosh, Gotta love the new intercooler, and flame sprayed cyl walls, and Aluminum block. The stripes will grow on you as the ass end will too. They put the GT500 0n a diet and thats great, but why did they change the wheel design. the 2010's wheels are gorgious.
2011 owner's are going to LOVE your GT500s :beer:

the 2011 wheels are lighter than your gorgeous wheels, hence one reason for the change, other reason, is they are also gorgeous.
I'd like to know if the new intercooler will be an easy swap on the older models?????

im really diggin those wheels! much better than the stockers!
but hey, that's what the aftermarket is here for :thumbsup:
yep. my good friend bought an LS3 C6 and didnt want to spring for the Z06, plus he loves the removable roof option. then, just after he buys it, they announce the grand sport which he fell in love with. that's how it goes..... the only way to "beat it" is wait till theyre all done making them, and then choose from the used crowd.
i really like the new GT500s, a LOT. and so much more that theyre adding to it, like those sweet vavle covers. but i still love the body of the 07-09 more.
but i cant afford any of the above right now so ill just live vicariously through my customers
agreed. although as the old saying goes, "hp sells cars." they need to add 5 or 10hp at least to make it seem like a step up, even if they shave weight off. and not to mention, they definitely cannot add tons of hp due to even more stringent CAFE standards that are coming. hell, GM is even worried about the vette which gets fantastic mpg.
i would love to have an auto trans GT500! or at least a dual clutch like the new evos. nothing like sitting in heavy traffic with a manual :bored: ever jump into a modded lightning and just take off? its soooo nice to just hop and floor it! some times i enjoy driving my truck (L powered F150) more than driving my terminator. and at least with a dual clutch set up like the evo, you get the best of both worlds
and if you look at guys with modded camaros/trans ams, many of them are auto trans. werent most of the original muscle cars autos? or at least a LOT of them..?
Great review!
Wow, Ford is just flaunting ass at the competition. :coolman:
I think the wheels look great.:rockon:
Be cool if it would hook in stock form so the mag drivers could post some deserving 1/4 mile numbers. :beer:

Nice write up. 2011 rocks, but Ford will have to put the wow factor in the next body style to make me give up my 08.
So if I place an order on one of the 2011's how long till I will get it? I've never ordered one. I'm either going black with black stripes, or gray with black stripes. No performance pack.
why no performance pack, you dont have to get stripes on it
Wow....I feel less enthusiastic about my 09 GT500....
Just keep comparing the rearends & you won't:beer:
Well, I almost bought a 2010, but pulled out. I just drove an '07 and realized that the weight is a big issue. So now I'm thinking the 2011 performance pack.
By the way how does the 2010 compare to the 2007 in driving feel. They had a 2010 but it was sold and I could not drive it. I prefer the feel of the 2003 over the 07, and wondered how the 10 would feel.
Wonder if you would have any problem telling the dealer you want the regular wheels with the performance pack. I'd probably just get the stripe delete.
It sucks to be so picky.

Did anyone happen to notice the SUV in the background of the picture at what appears to be SVT's skunkworks? Wonder if there is an SUV in the works? A little off subject, but related to a photo in the post.

J, that's the SVT Raptor..it's already being released.
No no no...the one in the far background on the right. Not the Raptor on the lift in the near background. Just a thought. It definitely is an SUV.

I really like the red with the glass roof, no stripes though. With the stripes being so thin it looks like they came off a riced out eclipse .
