Anybody using their GT500 as a daily driver?
Just wondering if the car is built to stand commuting and everyday wear and tear or if it is a tempermental beast.

It drives like any other car except for initial clutch engagement. Stock ..and if you don't get into hard, you would not know what the car is capable of.

Yes. Cars are meant to be driven. They are not garage dust collectors. This car is no exception.

+1 The GT500 clutch can be used for DD; - it's not too heavy. Just stay out of the S/C and the mpg is not so bad.

For me, I drive the GT500 on the weekends and the Roush through the week for commutting. The smaller engine makes a difference when driving a distance every day.

Answer = No

This is my fun car, not my daily beater. I have a $2000 car for that.
