2009droptopshelby Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 AOL Auto Review: 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 The Best Car We'd Never Buy Posted: Mar, 28 2010 By: Drew Phillips | Autoblog Basically...wait for the 2011? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahmann Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Makes sense to me. Unless you can find a '10 for an absolutely unbelievable deal right now and you think you might croak in the next few months before the '11 goes on sale, there's no reason not to wait for the '11.

The 010 is a great car, has the handling and power of a KR and for a heck of alot less cost, not to mention the low production numbers. The iron block is time/cycles proven. Aluminum block is a weight saver but by no means a Holy Grail. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me32 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 well if you can get a great deal on the 2010 GT500 why not buy it, the 2011 is gonna be in the 50k for a coupe. now we all know the 2011 will be better right out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me that Autoblog could have written about the positive results without saying they would never buy one because of the next model year. They knew about the 011 before they tested, what was the point besides a catchy title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line they like the 2010...BUT: " You see, as good as the 2010 GT500 is, there's something better coming. Just like we would have never bought a 2010 Mustang GT in anticipation of the legendary 5.0-liter V8 arriving in the 2011 model, we would keep our wallet tucked away until the 2011 Shelby GT500 hits showroom floors. With its aluminum block V8 filling the space between the front fenders, the 2011 GT500 should be even better. That's what taking 105 pounds off the front end of a car will do. So be patient, and wait for the 2011 GT500. That's what we're doing." I knew I should have waited for the 2011 Crystal ball was broken that day!

It would have been nice to have the aluminum block in the 07 too. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDT Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 As long as the "new technology"-" sprayed on cylinders" pans out better than the 07-09 "racing ceramic clutches"???????????????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but I'd really have a nice butt on the car than an aluminum block. Combining both would be a winner for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
