2007 GT500 Movie Star

Anyone see the Preview for I AM LEGEND staring Will Smith coming out later this year?

Looks like he will have an additional Star with him, a 2007 Shelby GT500 Coupe, Red with White Stripes (SIRUS installed). Shows him Flying down the streets in NY.

...Picture Cars East was doing stunt tests on the 2007 Mustang Shelby GT500 to test the new car showroom stunt. They had a 27 foot run up to the ramp, and are jumping the Shelby through a plate glass window. In the test they were doing the landing on boxes to not harm the fairly rare car. On the first test they ripped out the radiator, and radiator support. They had to cannibalize a regular Mustang for parts to continue the test.

Cool! This will probably be the first movie to feature an S197 Mustang as more than just a prop.

That movie poster is pretty sweet. Just wish you could see more of the car.

The CGI looks pretty lame in the NYC street shot.

Hopefully this wont drive up Mustang Prices even more. Now that it is BIG Screen, it may get more attention and the Dealerships will get Greedy!!!

"I Am Legend" is the title of the original book that the movie "The Omega Man" with Charleton Heston was based on. So basically it's a new version of "The Omega Man"!

"The Omega Man" is one of my all time favorite movies and the the fact that the new "I Am Legend" movie co-stars a GT500 (its even in the movie poster) makes it even better.

I'm really looking forward to "I Am Legend".

Oh, its five year from now. That would justify the price. If I were the last man on earth, I'd find at GT500 to drive around in too

They replace two GT500 on that stunt I saw on Speed TV.
