Um ya, the STI would not stand a chance.
***ing moron.
The color looked cool, not bad as a vert but the interior needs more style! too boring

Pics of new gt500
- Thread starter TOM91722
- Start date
I love the front end on the GT500, But the vert doesnt do it for me looks too plain. Also WTF is up with the rear end, the one thing i loved the most on 03/04 cobra goes to shit on the GT500. 
Anyways, ill take a hardtop in vista blue w/ white stripes.

I'll stick with my terminator,the engine looks awesome though!
I do not like the looks of the vert. The back end seems much higher than the last show car(not the concept, the actual car). Still looking forward to getting mine. When it shows up if the stance is that high, its time for a lowering kit.
What cracks me up though is...STI owners saying it is ugly. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! They do not have the right to call a Scion XB ugly!

Yeah, those STIs look like shopping carts on wheels with that hideous looking wing. :-D

Shelby is a disappointment
Since I went into the Powerlease program in 2004, and kept in constant touch with SVT over the details of the 2007 product....my conclusions are as follows:
When John Colletti and Tom Scarpello left SVT, SVT lost it's "head and heart"....The 2007 product is a compromise that neither would have approved of......All of the great styling cues in the prototype such as the hood and read deck Shelby lettering were eliminated.....The car should have had more of a "Shelby look" like the 67 and 68 GT500 with at least functional rear quarter brake ducts, and perhaps a upper quarter window treatment to differentiate it from the GT....The black outside mirrors are an example of the "new team" approach to the car...don't go to the trouble of putting painted mirrors on, go cheap.....The car is too heavy, and too much cheap plastic on the interior and a cheap plastic grill......I am sorry, but for the price and performance, the car is neither a true SVT or a Shelby......Hype aside, I am dissapointed with the car, and the demise of a great SVT team......

Ya, but it does have a nice engine, tranny, and brakes I guess
I laughed out loud to this also .... And girls that own a STI calling this car ugly .... Laughed out loud also ..... I hate the internet.COBRABRAD said:
I think the coupe will look good with some wheels and a lowering kit. I also would get the mirrors painted, don't ask me why they went cheap on that part. On a side note I think my GTO has nicer interior but that is the only comparision I will make with that car. The engine and drivetrain should be remarkable!

Back when I had my 98 cobra, and the 03's were just about to hit the market, the only thing I saw that was a negative for me was the ride height. Given, this is before anyone had ever bought one, and we found out about some of the more prevalent weaknesses in stock trim, such as wheel hop. Having said that I see a lot of things I don't like about the GT500. I just hope that there are no "hidden" weaknesses once people start driving them.

The GTOs have a comfortable high quality interior.
