No complaining from this Canadian reviewer...
Canadian site reviews the 2013 GT500.
"As impressive as the “go” aspects are, equally important is the Shelby’s capacity to stop. To ensure you’ll be able to reel in the car after high-speed excursions, its Brembo braking system has been upgraded with new six-piston calipers up front and larger rotors front and rear. The current brake pads have been swapped for more aggressive units to help deal with the higher speeds the car is capable of attaining. Again, despite the continuous abuse we journos inflicted on the Shelby, there was never a hint of brake fade. On the acceleration test, especially, because of the limited runoff area, I had to hammer the brakes hard, yet they responded without issue after every pass."
"I can tell you the handling dynamics of the car are superb, thanks to upgrades to the Bilstein suspension components designed to handle the car’s increased potential."
