VistaV6 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Posted October 31, 2009 If I had ~30 grand... Used Shelby GT500 Where can you go wrong? Has a banging awesome stock sound system (Kinda wish I had left the coaxials and comps alone it was so nice before). Has enough trunk room for multiple golf bags Has enough room for 4 people Is a 500 HP supercharged whining, exhaust gurgling, tire burning monster Very sporty on the outside The only place where it might lose is on the interior, but you are going to be so focused on the accelerator I don't think you will care.

I actually test drove one and it was pretty quick plus it had a nice sound to it. But it also had awful road noise, the worst interior out of all the cars I drove by a long shot and in general felt very cheaply made/put together. The supercharger whine was one of the more annoying sounds I've heard in my entire life. The engine was nice but wasn't smooth in any way, shape or form. Looks wise I like it but I'd much rather have my M6 or even a Vette regarding 2dr cars. I'd also much rather have an M5, RS6 or E63. Btw it doesn't have enough room for multiple golf bags unless one is sitting shotgun with you. Yes, it has room for 4 people.. 2 adults in the front seats and 2 midgets in the back, but my M6 is no different so I couldn't care less anymore. I originally wanted a big car w/ big power(MB E63 AMG) but I said fuck it when I saw/drove the M6. Also your GT500 you like so much will get walked on all day by an M6 on a track, drag strip or even a highway pull. But I do know the attraction of the GT500 because my step father is a mustang fanatic and that is all he has driven since he was 17yrs old. Every new body style stang since the late 60s he has bought in the first year of production. He's hoping to get his hands on a new GT500 as his coup de grace to his little collection since it's the highest HP stang made so far. 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer... New setup, old ride...

Why does someone sitting shotgun with you affect that? SUCCESS is a decision, NOT a dream. You have to name the price you are willing to pay to get it. "You didn't have an ice pick on you? Amateur.

Hahahaha u misunderstood what i was saying... Was saying that you can't fit multiple golf bags in the trunk, so you'd have to put one of the bags on the passenger seat. 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer... New setup, old ride...

OrionStang Posted October 31, 2009 Report Posted October 31, 2009 Just another note to add, this M6 has a Dinan exhaust and a top speed delete(electronically limited to 155mph stock) done by the previous owner. Tested to do well over 190mph with the delete in place on stock engine and tires. I'm not gonna be doing any 180mph runs anytime soon but I just think it's kinda sick that I could if I wanted to. I couldn't help but do a couple full throttle runs to like 115-120 tonite and OMG does it get there in a hurry, almost scary to go from like 70-120 so quickly.Btw thank god I'm 26 with a clean driving record because if I was a few years younger w/ a few tickets my insurance would be terrifying. It's already alot higher than I expected it to be but I'll cut sum other unnecessary expenses out to make up for it. Max that thing out. 180mph runs are fun, and legal here where I live Great choice IMO. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
Marlo Stanfield Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Posted October 31, 2009 Max that thing out. 180mph runs are fun, and legal here where I live Great choice IMO. At least out there they will move out of your way when you're at a high rate of speed. If I happen to have it over there no question I'd see what it can do. I read a couple articles of an english magazine doing a 194mph on the Autobahn on a bone stock M6. The guy who was driving that day said in the same article that given a long enough stretch of the Autobahn if could do over 200. Now I enjoy driving real fast from time to time but 200mph is no joke. That means you're moving at 293 feet per second, nearly a football field per second at 200mph. 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer... New setup, old ride... QX56 is staying stock til I get loud...
