High Performance Rental Car (Shelby Mustang GT-H)

Mustangs are a very long fad. They're like iPods or Abercrombie&Fich or any other thing like that. People don't buy them because they're good cars, they buy them because it's a Mustang...

Gawd, I hate Abercrombie & Fitch. I hate fads in general.

Overbought/trendy sports cars:
-Corvette ZO6
-Mustang GT

At least in my neighborhood....

Mustang is not a bloody fad. It's a legendary motoring icon.

Kids have no respect for such things these days . . .

Well, ya, the old Mustangs. That's why the new '05 '06 bodies are based off the first models.

No shiznit.... that's called "not ruining the car's identity with some new-age crap" like most of the supras, skylines, bmw's, and so forth have done

Yer what?
The most soulful car I've ever had the pleasure of driving isn't some lump of American pig iron, its a well-tuned Alpina B8 4.2 E36. A real piece of automotive art.

Yup, Shelby will soon sell a similar car with silver stripes instead of gold (I think it's called the Shelby GT, specifically because there are other plans for the GT350 name).

The GT500 is out soon, and Ill let you guess the power figures. The car will happily run 12s out of the box. The only problem is that it costs 40k (although I emplore you to find a similarly performing car for the money).

I think the thing you people dont realise about American V8s is a little thing we call 'potential'. Sure, from the factory theyre not overly tuned, and are inefficient compared to European/Japanese engines. However, the potential is there from nearly every performance V8 ever made to be amazing for not much money.

If you can make that Audi of yours run less than 10 second runs for less than Â£15k, then we can talk.

Wouldnt surprise me, you can rent them round here, and I only live in a small rural town.
