[QUOTE="BlwnSn8k, post: 11444695, member: 106039"] [B][U]Pros:[/U][/B] Handling; it is just shy of 2 tons with a SRA, yet it is confident and solid through the twisties. Power is great and the car responds very well to mods. Great comfort; car rides very well and is great on long trips. Looks; I STILL get people staring all the time as I drive through town. The car just looks mean and intimidating. Build quality; this goes for all the 2011+ Ford vehicles. The 2010 GT500 got this treatment as well. Ford's build quality has really stepped up. The fit and finish is top notch and you can feel it when driving the car. [B][U]Cons:[/U][/B] Solid Rear Axle; it is antiquated and as well as the car handles, the SRA is limiting how far the handling could go. Shifter; I haven't had much of the 1-2 grind, but the shift is very notchy and can take some time to learn. You have to be aggressive, but focused on your shifts. MPG; baby drinks some fuel if you stay deep in the throttle a lot, which is hard not to do...lol. Overall, IMO the pros far outweigh the cons if the car is a secondary "fun" car. I don't think it is a great DD, though it can be used as a primary vehicle. I can say this; the best mod I have bought for the car so far has been my 2001 Honda Civic EX 4-door, which is my work beater....lmao. After driving that all week, when I get in the Shelby on the weekend it feels fast as hell again! [/QUOTE]
