test drove some fast cars

I test drove a 2009 shelby gt500 with a exhuast and tune/cai. 600 hp claimed. cert pre owned. 15k miles. asking 37550.

I then test drove a 2007 shelby gt500 vert. It had a kenne bell mammoth blower and a exhaust. It had a 2 inch drop and 20 inch wheels. 720 hp claim. 15k miles. asking 43k. *issue* had speed wables at 60 mph. maybe after suspension or wheel/tire combo.

both cars were fast. the vert wasnt scary but fun. The 09 seemed fast but not to pull hard. My 07 gt with the ford racing whipple seemed far more scary.

That would be very impressive mods on the 09 since factory is only 500hp

Great photo..........a Mustang at an electric charging station. I hope it's a long long long long loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time before a Mustang ever has to use one of those for real!

One would think that cars with high hp # claims come with dyno sheets. Test drives for the purpose of buying ?
