Just took a 2010 Shelby GT500 for a test drive

So wait, you bought a Shelby and didn't even make a post in the garage? Or did I just miss it? Goddamnit Kadarin! Nice car! I'm sure you've been busy driving it every chance you get.

Does it take premium or regular 87?

I would help him beat to death anyone who tried to put 87 in that car. :biggrin:

I mentioned it in the Subaru STi thread I think, but didn't post a separate thread. And yes, I've been driving it every chance I get!

While it handles decently well, it's definitely more a dragstrip car than a track car, at least in stock trim.

Also.....is that Apple HQ? Looks vaguely familiar.

Yes, but not 1 Infinite Loop.

It requires premium, as do most forced induction engines.

I can't stop thinking about Cobra's. C'mon lottery!

Kadarin, did you have to create several threads asking Anandtech members their opinion on which car you should buy before you actually bought your car, or did you have you ability to decide for yourself? Did you have to decide between a '10 Chevy Silverado, a '11 Kia Rio and a '12 Shelby Corba before making your final selection?

The GT500 was made for raping at stop lights, period. That's it. If you want to run laps against the GTR, get a Boss.

Actually it was a quarter mile.

The front end and hood looks really good but I don't know about the back.

I didn't make any threads, but I pretty much accomplished the same thing by driving all my friends completely nuts over a few weeks before I finally bought the car.. 🙂
