A guy I know just got rid of his 2008 USB IS-F for a blue 2011 Shelby GT500. He usually can't keep cars for more than a year or two, so the fact that he kept the IS-F around for more than 3 years is a testament I guess, haha. The Shelby sounds pretty ridiculous, but I don't know if I'd want to have to listen to it every day or if I'd be willing to give up the creature comforts of more refined cars with much better interiors. Also, I haven't driven it, but just riding in it, I feel like the suspension is a little soft.
As I've mentioned before on this forum, the 2013 is rumored to get a 5.8L and 620ish hp.

I voted "I'd Hit it" even though every inch of my body was saying Corvette.......Why? Pure old school muscle car sex!! I don't car if it goes around the Nurbingring 20 seconds slower than the GTR. I dont care that it's drag coefficient is 5..(-7)... (.2) or whatever the hell the value is but it's less than everything else.
All I know is that when I get in that driver's seat and start that beautiful Shelby Aluminum block and that ABSOLUTELY unique Mustang exhaust song, I'll be grinning ear to ear.
I might even be beat light to light, but I guarantee that all those pretty girls on the side of the road will be looking at me and my car and not that turboed, barely ideling civic bubble that beat me.
Or maybe..............did I............hmmmmmm..........did I lose on purpose just to be the first to talk to these beautiful women?

UAW contract confirms larger 5.8L V8 for GT500
Fans of large displacement and forced induction (isn't that everyone?) can officially rejoice today as the recently approved deal between Ford and the United Auto Workers has answered a question that's been on our minds ever since Chevrolet upped the horsepower ante with its Camaro ZL1. Yes, folks, the 2013 Shelby GT500 will be blessed with a 5.8-liter supercharged V8 engine.
While conventional wisdom has always been that the easiest way to increase horsepower and torque was to bore-and-stroke your way to more displacement, an interesting series of spy shots showing one conspicuously oversize intercooler led some to believe Ford was ditching the supercharger in favor of twin turbos. Not so, apparently. Ford's latest contract with the UAW reveals that its Romeo Engine Assembly Plant will receive a $50 million investment to build the 5.8L supercharged mill.
Naturally, contract talk doesn't include a whiff on horsepower or torque, but you can bet Ford is planning on eking out more than the 580 horses that Chevy has corralled from the 2012 Camaro ZL1. Something around 600 seems like a safe bet, but we'll just have to wait for an official announcement from Ford. In the meantime, sweet supercharged dreams.
