So after getting geeked up about cars again on this thread(thanks 78) I decided to take the GT500 to work today. I drive this car maybe 4 or 5 times a month because I don't like to drive it in the rain and I typically don't like to put "non fun" miles on it(it has 17,300) that's what my Tundra and 18 GT are for.....Anyway about halfway there I notice a guy next to me with his window down and taking a cell phone video. I do a double take and realize it's a Shelby GT500, same color and looks to be a 2007-2009 car which are pretty much the same car...I ask what year and he says 2009.....he ask "what are you making" I respond right around 700...he says "same as me"...At this point we are side by side going about 30-35MPH.....Not for long
.
I guess we both got the same idea right about the same time and all hell broke loose for the next stretch of road. Anyway after a little hoonage I pulled into my favorite Wawa store and he followed me around the back. We parked and talked about 30 minutes or so and it turns out that he has THE SAME EXACT car AND set up......Only his wheels which were still stock and his catback exhaust were different. We had our cars tuned and modded by the same shop, the same pulley swap, same carbon fiber air intake, same brand of headers and same 1000HP clutch....Now keep in mind that only 152 of this car was made in 2009 in the Metallic Alloy color. Funny part is that the guy who was really cool lives on the next lake over and is about the same age as me....what are the odds right? Here's a couple pictures he took..
