The new Shelby GT 350 is very close in performance to the GT500, with it’s new supercharged 5.0 engine
I traded my ‘03 Cobra for an ‘03 Mach 1 with an automatic transmission. The IRS was clunking on the Cobra and I need something that was better for bracket racing. I got an ‘07 Mustang GT with a stick after the local dragstrip closed and ended my racing days.
Used to have a 5.0L Mustang with a 5-sp. Missed it a lot. So much so, that in 2010 I bought a 2010 RT Challenger 5.7L with the 6-sp. Great car!
While it pains me to see the Chrysler/Fiat thing happen(ing), I love my Challenger and don’t really think about the Government’s involvement in this car company when I’m chirping the tires going into 4th gear at 5600 rpms. 8-)
