Shelby Mustang drive day

On Friday Ford held a test drive day of there Shelby line of Mustangs.
It was held at Dukes in Malibu for a lunch and cruse. Ford brought out 4 for their Shelby GT for us to test drive up & down PCH. They brought out the GT500, GT-H, GT in Automatic & GT in manual. One of the bad boys was this GT-500 convertable. factory production car with 500hp!
As scary as 500hp may sound it was a very stable ride. It wasn’t as peaky & as hairy as a high 500 horse power Skyline GT-R. it was pleasant to drive and very controllable.
Another interesting car was the Shelby GT-H. it’s exclusively for Hertz rental cars. It’s a rental car! At 325hp it sounds nice but it only comes in automatic and has a open rear diff and has no by-pass switch L but still it was fun to drive….
I had a chance to take a sneak peak at the new 2007 Lexus LS460L (limo version)
With reclineable rear seats and full controls for AC and music in the back, it’s an awesome car! Mercedes is in big trouble!
After driving all moring the lunch was a nice finishing touch....
Thanks Ford!!!
