X2Board Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I'm in Orlando for a couple days and I picked up one the 500 Shelby GT-H Mustangs from Hertz, I am lucky enough to be the first renter of this one and got it with the plastic still on the steering. The sound of this thing is to die for, along with the "look at me" factor, it is a great car for cruising, and if I were single, this car would definitely reel in some trim. The power and handling go hand in hand and in corners my right foot can take if from neutral to oversteer in a nice linear fashion, unfortunately, most of the corners around here are the on and off ramps, this car has rekindled my love affair with american muscle. But in the end it's no LGT, especially in the fit and finish department. X2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X2Board Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Looks sick and drives even sicker, this is the first rental car I don't want to return I would buy it on the spot if they let me. X2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Cool! I've read about these rentals in the various auto-rags, and I remember thinking "oh, sweet!" Definitely a great ride to roll around in during a vacation or a work-assignment. Congrats on landing this special rental! <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bama Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 You will be able to buy these after about 13k miles. Once the cars hit that Hertz is reportedly selling them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X2Board Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 I waited till it had 50 miles on the odo before I let it rip, that took a lot of restraint on my part, but the car certainly didn't complain when asked to perform. X2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psucaptainkickass Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 On my trip to Vegas about a month ago, I saw a Auto Carrier filled with these. Glad to see that they are hitting the streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
