Mastersmech1's New Ride


SCGT500

Recommended Posts

Great car... Now I guess I get the opportunity to compare both.

 

Shelby GT

 

Overall better stance and looks

Hurst shifter far superior

Strut tower brace looks better

Hood scoop...sucks

Floor mats better

Dash & engine bay plaque...way cool

Great color combo...White & silver

Rear decklid lettering

Great cornering and handling

Wheres my HP?

 

GT500

Mean and nasty

Far superior hp and acceleration

Six speed

Better hood

SVT influence and cues

Nicer rims and tires

Looser and sloppier shifter

Plain floor mats sucked

Noisy gears/ rear end

 

These are two different automobiles. I find that at MSRP, the SGT is priced too close to the 500. I don't think anyone would be dissappointed in either one. I can't step out on a limb yet and say which one I like better. If you put the SGT body and stance on the GT500, that would be the clear winner. There's no doubt that the GT500 is superior from an acceleration and hp standpoint, but the SGT handles incredibly well. I am blessed to have both.

Nice ride, white looks great! I agree on your comments, I see where you made a later comment about the exhaust...thought you forgot! I can't comment about floor mats.....I still don't have them! Happy motoring.

John,

What does your wife think of the power in the SGT?

We have the SGT500 but I haven't driven it, yet. Do you think the SGT is more comfortable to drive, for those of us who haven't got the driving knowledge for all the 500 hp in the SGT500?

My wife hasn't driven it yet. My new garage is in the final stages of completion and my SGT has been mothballed at a relatives empty garage not too far away. My priority has been getting into my new stable by mid Spring. The SGT is easier to drive as you are not as likely to turn it sideways. It is stiffer and bumpier but handles better.I think my wife will like it better than the 500 for herself.

So why can't you look in drive D?

 

I need to plan on Friday's dinner - does it look like y'all can make it?
