[QUOTE="9746Cobra, post: 5808741, member: 17905"] Car & Drivers web site says: "There were no such discussions concerning the Ford Shelby GT500, which returned because bad ignition parts soured its visit to last year's s Lightning Lap. It's a strange car - it moves around obsessively when driven hard, with so much body roll and pitch that it's hard to believe it was designed to perform in such a manner. It is however, a safe car to drive fast because exceptionally predictable, is seemingly impossible to spin, and has brakes that hold up well. As long as the ambient tempeture is below 70 degrees, the Gt500 was fairly quick and posted a 3:05.9 lap. But when the tempeture climed to about 90 degrees, the engine started laying down, and the lap time lengthened by four seconds. None of the other cars was so affected by the heat. Buyers are still apparently paying 10 grand over sticker for Gt500's, a phenomenon that continues to mystify us" [/QUOTE]
