| Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500? Exterior and Interior appearance are great.
Performance and Sound are amazing.
The scream of the supercharger combined with the thunder of flowmasters on wide open throttle is incredible.
The head turning factor on the street is entertaining.
Excellent bang for the buck with some owner exclusivity. Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500? Ford should have introduced the GT500 in 07 with the aluminum block to get the weight off of the nose, a cold air kit from the factory and a lower factory ride height.
(2 out of 3 for 2010 ain't bad. Now Ford just has to lower the ride height to improve handling). 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500 Review: Track Time....If someone sees that intimidating grille in their mirror in the turn, they can expect to get pounded on the next straight.
The GT500 with lower and stiffer springs (and adjustable panhard bar to center the diff.) although heavy, is well balanced and predictable on the track with excellent braking ability. This car is literally "tons" of fun.
I am very happy with my purchase. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500? The style, the power to turn heads and all the horses under that hood. Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500? better leather seats and more of it. Still not bad. 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500 Review: I love it. I only drive it once or twice a month. Stays in a storage shed. 7200 miles on it. I will never sell it. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500? Power. Looks. Handling. Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500? Needs a taller gear like a 373. 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500 Review: 5 stars..but with a 373 gear..this car would jump much faster. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500? Power up the wazu. Good comfortable ride. Exceptionally fun to drive as the ride from 1st through 2nd gear is a blast. Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500? Better visibility to the tachometer. If you get into the redline the engine shuts down. The engine produces a steady whine from the supercharger, consequently shifting cannot be done by sound of the engine wind up. 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500 Review: You owe it to yourself to get one of these. They are really fun on the freeway because you can drive the car with only your big toe on the throttle and command more than all the power you need. |

The GT500 is hovering right 100%. Can't think of any improvements. 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500 Review: This is the new 1964 GTO. Amazing new car for the market and priced accordingly. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500? Incredible acceleration. Great looks. Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500?

| Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500? The car has incredible iconic appeal,that cuts across the entire demographic spectrum. It looks fantastic, sounds incredible,is quiet and comfortable inside,and delivers 19 to 21 mpg,as a daily driver.To be honest,the car appeals to your practical needs,and you are only a few thousand rpm's away from every mans ideal muscle car experience. Beauty and the BEAST !!! Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500? The car could use an interior trunk release,more ergonomically tuned shoulder belts,lower 5and 6 gear ratio's,and a few more creature comforts,to include a dash that is not so abjectly spartan. The car has a great 6 speed Tremac, but it would be faster in the 0 to 60 with an automatic. 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500 Review: I have 9000 miles on my Shelby,and everytime I get in it,I still have that love and enthusiasm I had the day I bought it. I had a recall concerning the passenger air bag,and no other problems. I think the car handles better than alot of reviews indicate,and if you take the traction control"off",you could go through rear tires like Kleenex. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500? It has awesome exterior looks and very solid power. Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500? There is quite a bit of room for improvement in the interior. The design is fine, just improve the quality of the materials used inside. 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500 Review: I love my 2008 Shelby but as mentioned, wished the interior had a higher quality of of materials (eg:too much poor plastic). My only performance change will be swapping exhaust, Borla is a much meaner sound. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500? The car has great power and a strong motor. Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500? Tune the car better, it is a gas guzzeler, because of the factory tune and the performance is lacking because of the factory tune. Dealers that price increase from MSRP should be limited on the number of vehicles they can get from the factory. 2008 Ford Shelby GT 500 Review: The consumer can increase both power and gas mileage just by doing a computer retune. The brake calipers are too big which limits the after market wheel selection to almost nothing. |
