    I own a super low mileage 2008 GT500.

    I own a super low mileage 2008 GT500. The car is quick but needs “sticky tires” off the line. It’s 100% stock except for tires and has a bit over 8000 miles on it. Don’t get me wrong, as I don’t beat the car but drive it with respect.

    Love this machine

    My car is actually a 2008 Mustang Bullitt with a 315 HP 4.6 liter engine with a Roush supercharger. Total HP is between 425 and 450. Quite fast.

    Fast and Fun!

    The car is amazing to drive. It is one of the most comfortable cars I have ever owned. While it does have a big v8 it is surprisingly decent on gas

    Absolutely love it

    It's everything you wanted it to be, and more. I've loved this car since I first drove it. It has all the power someone could want and the style and appeal of American Pony class cars.

    Mint condition Shelby with upgrades

    This car has been my baby. I have taken perfect care of it, keeping it covered and under a roof when not being driven. I don't need to sell it, so I will only sell for the firm price listed as that's what it is worth.

    Fast Fun

    This is definitely a performance car. The acceleration and handling more than compensate for the stiff ride. Great value when compared to other performance autos.

    Shelby got it right with this car,40th anniversary

    I already own a 68 KR and adding this 40th anniversary edition to my collection is perfect. I've had this car out a couple of times since I purchased in May.

    Greatest Shelby Created

    As an owner of a GT500KR since 2009 I have never driven a car as spectacular. I've owned many Mustangs since 1979 and I've modified all of them, but I just couldn't make my vintage Stangs as powerful and handle was well as what SVT and Carroll Shelby achieved together developing this GT500KR. It was born a GT500 pioneered by the SVT (Special Vehicles Team) then moved onto Las Vegas for Carroll's team to do their mods. All cars leaving Las Vegas means it's the best Mustang to hit the roads with the name Shelby; then the letters "KR" King of the Road are added. This means no other is better. Any Stang touched by SVT and Carroll Shelby's team is a top of the line Mustang. In my humble opinion it has been an honor and privilege to own a GT500KR. If you find one with Carroll Shelby's signature that's more of an honor. If you find one with CARFAX it's guaranteed to not be a lemon. They're beautiful cars and so much fun to drive, but be careful with the power. Such an enjoyable Mustang - these are the tops.
