Comments:
The problem with the Shelby GT500 Mustang if you are a Brit is that it is only available in the UK as a grey import. It is an absolutely stunning car to behold and is a fitting descendant of the classic Mustangs of the 1960′s and 1970′s and at $46k in the United States its also a bargain. Over 500 horse power for less than £30k? Yes please. But that’s where the problem is with the grey import bit. By the time you get one shipped over here, you won’t have paid £28k, you will have paid closer to £47k. At that price it starts to look a bit dodgy though. The interior is utilitarian at best and it still has a live rear axle making for an entertaining drive at least, but don’t try and make one go around a corner too fast. It makes more sense to spend your money on a BMW M3 which is a vastly superior car. It doesn’t quite have the road presence of the Ford though, and to be honest if I had £50k knocking about that I could spend on a car that I would look at more than drive, then I would buy one.
