mcanzio Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 When the opportunity came to rent a 2013 Shelby GT500 I jumped on it! I have been dying to test drive one of these beasts since they came out last year. In addition, as most of you know the dealers rarely let you test drive them. If anyone is located in SoCal and interested in renting one before buying... check out Midway Car Rental in San Diego. They are advertised for $499/day w/150 miles included. I ended up negotiating it down to $250/day. Here are some pics I snapped...Cheers!

ingram4868 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 What is an unlocked key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glroy Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 What is an unlocked key? it is the new root key for the car so to say; you can set one key up to only go so fast, so many RPM, NO track apps and so on. The root key can do everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingram4868 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 That key sounds like a great feature. I wish they had it available for my 1995 Cobra for my teenage sons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCPD199 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 just like the good old days of the Hertz rent-a-racer Just what I was thinking. It's the '60's all over again! I wonder if they'll find weld marks from roll bars being installed after a weekend rental! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Harman Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Had to go look in the garage to see if my car was still there, Same color combo! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsphaltDance Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 SmartKey feature can be used to limit top speed. I rented a Focus in July from Dollar and it had one that limited the car to 80 mph. Just better hope you don't need to exceed that to get out of the way of something or your azz is grazz and SmartKey's the mower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYStockboy Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Are there any places to rent a '13 or '14 Shelby GT500 in the NYC area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy49 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 If you see this when you turn the key, you are using a MyKey setup as a valet key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
