Click to enlarge. 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible 2nd Opinion - Perry Thumbs up to the exhaust rumble, monster torque, and smooth transmission. Thumbs down to the materials and heavy appearance of the design.

Driving the Shelby GT500 is about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on. The torque this monster V8 produces along with the sweet sound of thunder that rolls out of the exhaust is complete euphoria. I was even surprised by how smooth the transmission rowed. The drivetrain in the GT500 is so good it makes it easy to overlook the stiff clutch, the heavy look of the body design and the low quality interior plastics. This has to be one of the most exhilarating cars to drive we have had in the office in a long time.
