oliverqueen said:the GT500 didn't stand for anything.the 500 name was just as meaningless as the 350 in GT350.i really don't get the fascination with GT500,the really memorable shelbys were,IMO,the '65-66 shelby GT-350.by '67,it was more of a GT-type car than a road-racing demon like the '65.
Lawman85 said:Another tid bit of info.... Alot of the reps at the Shelby booth were talking and I spoke to another one seperately and they all stated that there will be a GT500 released. No one would say when other than "soon". They said Shelby America is producing the new 2 seat Cobra, the GT500 and the original Cobra.
And if we all remember our history lessons, the GT500 stood for 500hp, not an unbelievable number since the stock GT is now 300..... oh the imagination runs wild....

I went down in the wifes Accord V6 which runs well, but could not even come close to keeping up with them for long. People were racing up to them just to get a close look.
