It seems every time they have a mustang on the show (or on a DVD) they get at least one fact wrong. It always makes me so frustrated, because most veiwers would have no idea. I wonder if they get as much wrong about all the other cars and I just have no clue.
After watching the show I dont think they were really bashing the Shelby GT, I think they were showing that they could make an electric car go fast by comparing it to a fast car.
I still love the show though, can't wait for next season.

Thats a Shelby GT, that pos electric thing should win, it weighs 2 lbs with noone in it! Besides that, if that thing hit a shopping cart at more than 3mph it would disenagrate!

They must have borrowed that car from a guy in my town who has one identical to that car. He tells people it is a GT 500, he also wears so much cologne flies drop when he walks in a room. LOL

And if you have watched the show recently they have shown a "Shelby GT500" racing a 1800 lb plastic car on a road coarse and of coarse the mustang lost. I like the show but come on run a comparable car.

I don't like the show, they try so hard to put down the Mustang, and they can't even get there facts straight. Puts a V6 against an actual horse and says it's a 300HP V8. Said the GT500 was supercharged 4.6, and I loved it when they put a GT against a Lotus Elise with the track pack, AND they put them on the short track because the Mustang would have caught the Lotus on the regular track.
It's a shame they go so far out of there way to make the car look bad because I think the show it funny.
