Fell for the New GT
Just picked up a 2015 GT in Magnetic. Never thought I would even consider a grey car, but the black wheels just made the color pop. So far, it is amazing. It has replaced my 2014 Shelby, and I have to say that this new GT is heads above my Shelby in everything but thrust. But it is plenty fast! The handling just is amazing. No body roll, and it just sticks like glue. It actually drives like a much lighter car.

Time sure flies. Feels like yesterday when I first got my GT, now we have 15's ha! Congrats and nice color choice. Still, trading a Shelby to a GT is a little mystery to me even if its newer model year. I don't get it heh.

Interior Photos
Here are some interior photos. My Llyod Shelby mats were a perfect fit!

It was easier that you would think. I paid $55k for the Shelby, drove it over a year and got $53,500. Then got the new GT for $2,000 under sticker. With the Shelby paid off, my new car payment is almost $400.00 a month less.

1st Mod! I kept the Llyod Mats I bought for my Shelby and put the originals back in when I sold it. My next mod will be redline hood stuts, as soon as they become available.

Actually, no. It doesn't have the immediate thrust the Shelby did, but the 5.0 really pulls strong, and being non supercharged makes it seem more easy to control. The Shelby could never hook up, so if the Shelby Owner doesn't use launch control, the 5.0 would beat it. The handling is in another world compared to the Shelby, the car feels light on its feet and stays neutral.
