I just dont know what to say about the 500 anymore, it just keeps getting worse the more I think about it. The weight.....seriously.....i'll defend ford, beyond what any one of us would call reasonable, but, this is just absolutly pathetic, and it pisses me the f u c k off. What the hell could they have been thinking? Absolutely ignorant, I mean....it seems as though they just didnt even care, at all....they certainly didnt make any effort towards saving weight IMO, and how dare them call it a shelby???? WTF! This guy is done, and i'm guessing made no engineering efforts at all, unless being overweight was considered when naming the car.
I'll take the M3 or the M5 over both cars, to hell with it all. What I want out of a car it looks like neither can deliver.
Or better yet, in about, well, 3 and 1/2 years, i'll have the money back, and i'll be buying myself the car of my dreams. My budget will be good. I'll probably be buying a 911 Carrera 4S. It will perform well enough to compete with any of these cars mentioned, and, no offense, looks arent even questionable. I'll always have my mustang or two, I just have a special place for a stang, gotta have one, gotta be tuning one, tweaking one....just having fun. The Porsche is entirely different, a different car for different reasons, but no doubt, I will most certainly be at the track with it, I will not be afraid of beating it, no way, I will learn how to drive it, and will manipulate it the best I can, man I cant wait....

This is a huge investment, but, it's what I want. What can I say.....
This is a one time investment, and my last large one. I have my home, this will be my baby, and that's all she wrote. I'll still have my '99 Limited in 90% stock form, and will always be juggling a fox or two
