My friend's was a 2010. Lucky for him, he doesn't know the difference between the 2010 and 2011. I'd kill myself if I were him.

Make sure he never finds out. 2011 is a totally different car.

Aluminum block :yum:

Gotcha. Yeah, the 2010 is all sorts of effed up in the handling department. I'm sure if it was a 2011 you'd be singing a TOTALLY different tune!

:iagree:

2011 Ford GT500 bests 2010 V.I.R. lap time by 9 seconds [Video]

To give a little context to the time... when referencing the best lap times ever recorded on FastestLaps.com, the 2011 Shelby GT500 is in some fairly elite company, and would place directly between the 10th ranked Chevrolet Corvette Z06 with 2:58.2 and the Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport C6 at 2:58.8 seconds. No offense to Gene Martindale, Ford's vehicle dynamics engineer, but looking at the video it looks as if there might be a little more time to be shaved even still.

Coworker just purchased a 5.0 for a (now) January (!!!) delivery.

I told him I would never compare speed or acceleration with him. But asked if I could drive it after he's broken it in. :p

That video looked absolutely terrifying haha
