Why? You're going to need to explain this to me.
Does the non-SVTPP ride nicer? Do you feel that the SVTPP is just too much performance for a weekend driver?

Using that logic a n/a 5.0 would then be good enough for the GT500.

It doesn't make sense to pass on the SVTPP to save 6 or 7% to have the best Ford offers.

I drove both...and I have to have the SVTPP. If you are a speed fanatic...then you will have to have the SVTPP. It really is a great car!

So that Fox would spank the **** out of that Shelby?

Not too many people have a Fox faster than their 2011 GT500.

SVT got it right with the skinny stripes, I am not surprised you changed your mind.

I assume the seats match the exterior. If it does you should post pics of the interior.

I will shoot some pics of the interior this weekend. Its has a black interior with the red stripes....only option on the car SVTPP....no nav or car cover. The radio is fine....love the car. The Fox is a monster....it has its purpose(Fox- 363ci with a Procharger F2 and a ice to water intercooler-power glide trans)...and the GT500 is just great to get in and drive!

Thanks.
