"Shelby GT500 much improved over the original"
Shelby GT500 much improved over the original
The 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 is stiff, stiff, stiff, stiff. Therein lies the charm. If it were not stiff, it would not require muscle. at http://www.washtimes.com/autoweekend...0450-4409r.htm

"Shelby GT500 much improved over the original"
You going by curb weight or gross vehicular weight? There's a difference.
Curb weight is the weight of the car sitting "empty". Gross vehicular weight GVW, which is on your door, is the weight of the car with the recommended amount of weight the car can carry, this includes cargo and 4 passengers.
