Drove a Shelby GT500 SVT today!!

So I went to my Chiropractor today who is a big Ford fan and has a really nice F450. He also happens to have a VERY NICE Shelby GT500 SVT with every upgrade possible. I always joke about taking care of it for him and today was no different. After he finished my adjustment he says, "You want to take it for a spin?" I'm sure the look on my face said it all. I was like, Heck yea I do are you serious? He said "Let me get the keys"
Long story shot, that car is amazing and an absolute blast to drive. If I owned it, I would lose my license and be in jail within 6 months!

Just had to share

That is probably more like it. 550 supercharged HP and the 6 speed make that thing a freaking rocket.

I agree, 6mths is way too long. I had to sit myself down earlier this week and give myself a good talking to. I took DHs Charger out for a spin after I moved vehicles around when I mowed and edged the driveway. Car only has the 5.7 Hemi and a Diablo Predator w/ a K&N intake on it. But holy beans, its easy go get a little crazy after running around calm and easy with the truck.

Glad you had a fun little spin

Oh, and your chiropractor is probably charging too much if he's got an F450 and a Shelby GT500 SVT.

Very true. He is one of the best Chiropractors in the entire area. He has lots of toys! I have asked him to adopt me but so far he says no!

That would be a lot cheaper in the long run

I would love to drive a fast production car to see what is like... I wonder how it would stack up against my truck or vice versa...

Glad you had a good time, man. That's awesome.

Like our trucks, traction is key. I could break it loose in 3rd with little effort. It probably has some kind of traction control but I wasn't really looking for it. Didn't want to drive it too hard and wreck the darn thing

Next time I will see if I can get him to take me for a ride to see how hard it really pulls. You know..... in case of the whole crash thing!!

Don't be mean like that, John! I'll do it in a heartbeat! I'm jealous of you, a vet, the red ram rocket, and that sweet 06 you have...

Don't be jealous Mark. Remember, it took me almost sixty (60) years to get that Vette! Heck, you have a darn good running Dodge CTD CR yourself and I have no doubt you will eventually have that sports car.

BTW, our friend Bobby Downes recently bought a used 2009 Nissan GT-R. I went for a ride in that thing the other day and have to say it was very impressive too!
