new gt500 is bada..!
overall it has some styling changes, more power, and better turning ability. 540hp 510tq and still wieghs in less than 3900lbs or about 200 less than the challenger.
i think the car looks much better than the current model. they finally got some decent wheels on the shelby. the only question that remains is will the 2011 gt500 get lighter???

Much better then last years, but it's still to heavy. And what's the price? Probably could buy a new 422 HP Camaro SS and add a blower for less. The wheels are MUCH nicer though.......and it does look good in blue.

Looking at the pics again I like the new design but it lacks the 'musclcar feel.' I am really felling some aston martin influence in the design, especially the front air damn and headlight design. Irregardless it's good to see that FORD is putting the pig in a pair of spandex. Hope the SHELBY faithful fall for the new design. I won't.

The split 5 spoke design wheels have been around well before the RS4's conception.

point? the camaro is just as heavy as the gt500. and if you add the blower to the camaro the gt500 will be the lighter car.

no!^^^^^ Because why would anyone pay 40K more for suspension, short shifter and different badges and emblems?
