Saw it too, movie was alright, way too much computer generated stuff though, including that car.

Yeah, I expected something better.

Sorry, but I will never own a newer Stang. I rode in one, and I hated it, and I didnt like the cars before that. I dont like the body styling. But to each his own. Have fun with it, they can make power, i'll give them that.

Out of morbid curiosity, what did you hate about the ride?

After 500 miles the computer will allow FULL BOOST. The computer
has alot of torque mangment on those cars. I will take the power away from you in a heartbeat.

Make sure you turn the traction control off if you plan on beating on it. The computer pulls FUEL to limit power (not good for a supercharged car).

Wow, that is a beauty! I'd sell a 69 428CJ for one of those... Hell yeah!

I'd get rid of both of my Birds if I could get one of those...

Well after seeing the numbers in the video above and doing some research, he's most likely going to go with CAI and tune, no pulley. He would go for the pulley except it would void his warranty and it's not the easiest (but not the hardest) thing to change. Atleast with CAI he can switch it back to factory if he has to take it to the dealer. CAI and tune should bring the RWHP to over 500.

I just came from watching I am Legend and that car was in it!!

I remember that a car parked on E26 st and 5th ave in Manhattan while they were filming. There was 2 of them one in show room condition and the other was beat to sh#t
I actually sat in it and looked threw it and under the hood, the car bumpers had s fiberglass broke and I’m talking to the guy and I ask him what’s w all the hydraulics under the hood and he said later where going to jump it threw a plate glass window wonder how it came out in the movie looking forward to watching it since they filming it for a while.

God I want one, black on black coupe. With the shifter they put in the Roush 427R's, I have never used a shifter that felt like that.

Cramped space, bumpy as hell, they arent that great on overall handling i noticed. Not to say a few models arent, but didnt impress me one bit. Plus Ive messed around racing a few on the highway, and power wise they are really disappointing.

If low 12's and high 11's with minimal add ons are disappointing WTH are YOU driving while messing with them?

I don't think he's referring to the GT500s specifically... just S197s as a whole. :D
