Should you buy a 2011 Ford Shelby GT500? (DANGEROUS!!!)

Great video! I truely enjoyed it. 7 years ago I bought my white convertible 2012 Shelby and I still Love it today.

Thank you. Really appreciate the comment. Yes they are fantastic aren't they. I imagine that it's almost impossible to bring yourself to sell one. How many miles have you done in it?

[@kevtrevtuff11]

It has 17,544 miles on it. Still brand new :). Probably the lowest mile 2012 Shelby in existence. Its my 3rd vehicle so I like to keep it new and not drive it much

Props to driving those European roads in the Shelby. It takes a bit of driving time to get the hang of the power and solid rear axle in order to get the best out of it, but on US roads, it's not as scary. Splitting hairs between cars on European roads is epic (and actually scary) in a Shelby. Respect. I was looking for a fun car under 40k and was between a 2013/14 Boxter S and the Shelby. I got the shelby in the same spec but red. Smiles per gallon, baby. All smiles. It's stupid and capable, and that's what makes it a great toy. The traction control actually turns off when you hit it like a muscle car should, but that trunk button is the only take away from the trac control, if that connection can be considered, because I open the trunk too many times trying to turn off traction control ;P

Thanks very much! It was nervy at times I have to say! I actually reviewed an early Boxster S on the channel and it was the most enjoyable car I've ever driven and that is still the case to this day. However, they're very small and I think as a daily the Shelby would be the choice! What a fantastic daily driver you have. Are you based in the US?

@TheRacingLines I'm in Florida. It's always a good day to drive with the weather, except 3pm-4pm in the rainy season. I drove a 2013 manual base model porsche, and it felt like it had no power with the long gearing. The S solves everything, and the 13/14 has the best exhuast sound imo. At some point, I would like to try the 718 boxster spider, but it may ruin my experience driving other cars because I have heard they are so good to drive, even with how difficult the roof operation is...if your in the states, you have a Shelby to drive, and I'll put some tape over the trunk release ;)

@@TheRacingLines thanks , I kind of wish I could have purchased the Shelby with a automatic transmission, the shifting the gears will tend waar you out , especially when you got some age on ya , I'm 67 years old , but I still love that car , my wife thinks im nuts for buying it , oh well I'm still enjoying the thrill of driving it !!!
