in this thread I will review my Boss' S197 GT-500
Its fast as ****, comfy as hell, can't feel the road so it would be somewhat scary on the track, the rear end is way too big, sounds great, does not have aids, and if romp my miata, not sure about high-boost though. I endorse this vehicle as a daily driver. Would drive again.

Aids as in the disease or things like stability and traction control?!?
You mention the sound. I bet it's great. The Mustang has kicked the Vette's butt in aural pleasure for the last 25 years. Why has it taken chevy so damn long to figure out what Ford knew with Fox body Mustangs back in the mid 80's.

BTW its aids vs aides.
On a more serious note: I love those cars. The only two things "ford" I'd ever own would be a Ford GT and one of those.

Nice ride, has anyone see the video in which a guy just recently bought one, brings it home to show everyone. While theyre video taping everyones reaction, a little kid gets on the seat and drives it into the garage wall- may I mentioned the price tag was still on the window. Just a random commment

If U.S. manufacturers could make interiors worth a **** they would have some decent cars. They have plenty of cars I like from an exterior standpoint, but I wouldn't own one because the interior where you spend all of your time is made of plastic with floppy ***** and cheap feeling everything.

...if you say so. I think it looks like a landscape of flat plastic panels with not much style. Look at that center console around the nav system, and who even needs a nav system in a GT500. Isn't it supposed to be some kind of raw sports car? Maybe if they stripped the interior, just install a carbon fiber shell for a dash, stick some gauges in it, and put some comfy race seats in it I would consider it worthy of my *** sitting in it. Still wouldn't matter, it would still be a heavy yacht of a car. So big it makes those 18'' wheels (I assume 18's anyway) look tiny, like maybe 15's.

That car is badass... but for the same money I'd take an LS3 Corvette...
The GT-500 to me is like Burt Reynolds after Smokey & the Bandit... Both got stuck doing the same thing for decades... (Not that that's really a bad thing)
The C6 is Samuel L. Jackson, just as badass while also being sophisticated...
