Kenneth Camp 59459 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Welcome from Alaska. You’re going to enjoy your car a lot. Take your time learning how it handles under different circumstances. With all that horsepower and torque, things can happen in a hurry. After five years mine still surprises me at times.

One thing I know... at this point I will be respectful of its capabilities. My wife and my insurance company are OK with me owning one as long as I act my age... 60. 🙁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it means driving 20 miles below the speed limit in the passing lane and always forgetting to turn off your turn signal, this is not the car for you. But if you like to drive like Carroll Shelby, Bob Bondurant, Steve Saleen and a bunch of other rebel drivers did when they were 60, then have a blast. 60? That was a dozen years ago for me and I still know what the right pedal is for on a Shelby.😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is at a different level... Yes 662hp is certainly a different level compared to your previous Mustang's so be sure to respect the power it is capable of delivering. If the car still has the OEM tires you should consider replacing them due to their age. Enjoy your new to you GT500 and hope to see more posts from you on Team Shelby.
