      In any case it's reassuring that the States hasn't completely cornered the market on the clueless...lol
      All this over a little commercial...too funny...and funnier still is that a bike 1/5 th the cost of the 500 (which I happen to like BTW) will kick it's back side but good....for the uniformed the USA has wonderful curvey roads as good as any in the world....have a great day...

  • Exaggerated

    The Shelby would never overtake a Porsche Carrera GT. 500hp vs 612hp, 4.7sec 0-100 vs 3.8sec 0-100, 250 km/h vs 330 km/h...

    • technical

      If you want to get technical why not just compare all these euro cars to to saleen s7 twin turbo or even the new saleen s7 twin turbo competition which is supposed to have 1000hp. End of story. Not even Bugatti Veyron could keep up with that.

  • ok look...

    cars from USA have very bad motors just look at 5-6 liter engine and it only has 200 or maybe 300 hp (if not maybe even tuned) from factory. But the european engine (porsche) has like 3.8 liters and about 400 or maybe 450 hp from factory so there you have it UsA S**ks at motor technics. And BTW al of you should serouisly think about another feul oil is going away pretty quick and theres a small problem about GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!!

  • Nice car

    it's true you can't get a european car to go that fast at that money... but you are forggeting something... muscle cars are made to accelerate fast,not to go very fast.With a porsche carrera you can reach 300 kph,how fast can you go in a shelby?

  • Grow up people

    You are all missing the point. Here, you get a 500hp sports car that goes like stink and handles to boot for less than 50 thou US. Now, unless you want to go for the typical asain hairdryer, the only other 'real' sports car are hundreds of thousands of bucks. Oh, and pug boy, you wouldn't have a chance on bitumen.

  • All you need to know about the differenc...

    American cars go very fast in a straight line, they have wide tires and soft suspension, so at a certain speed the car will begin to shake and wobble and potentially spin out. European cars are designed to corner very well, and go very fast. They have hard suspension so they dont wobble at all, european cars are the best. End of story... unless you like very loud American cars that crash when you go too fast. They dont sell that car in Europe becasue no one would buy it.

    • I have an idea

      Let’s forget about the cars. This is not about the cars. Americans have nice cars, Europe has nice cars etc etc...This is really about people hating America and Americans, no matter what the video. Since you all will be there with every video that shows any American doing Anything, I will propose this. If you can come up with a legitimate reason why you hate America or Americans, I will sign off from posting on this site for good. Now, before you start, keep this in mind...I'm not talking about the media, the media S**ks for most countries...I’m not talking about our gay ass President, we hate him too. Your beef is pointed at Americans, so grab a beer (I have mine) or whatever it is you drink and start writing.

      1. Why do you need to have a "Target"?
      2. Not all people hate Bush, just the smart ones
      3. Republicans vote their line no matter how stupid the guy is...like Dubya or how about Dan Quail? - Real bright guys. Those 2 idiots combined have and IQ of room temperature
      4. So, you're right, stupid is as stupid does!

    • Forrest Gump is fictitious, DumbA_ _

      besides you'd vote for a predictable idiot over an ambiguous power hungry politician too if that's all the choice you had.
      Also said ambiguous politician won... unfortunately We don't really choose our presidents... The obsolete yet still operational Electoral College chooses our presidents.

    • You're all dumbasses

      American speed limits range from 55-75 mph. The American roads are straight and way more maintained than European roads. Therefore, and American car has no reason to go around a corner at 140 mph.

      Purpose built: To kick the living S**t out of anything from 0-60 mph. And you know what...they do it too. That's why a supped up American V8 will beat a high-reving European engine on the strip. If BMWs are soooo fast, then why don't I see people drag racing them?? That's why you see old Chevelles and Challengers winning races. They handle like S**t , but honestly what red-blooded male wouldn't want a 600 hp monster that scares the living S**t out of those turbocharged weed-whacker engines they use in other countries.

      Oh, and find a 500hp BMW that costs less than a 500hp American car...you can't. I'll take cheap and raw grunt anyday. And don't worry about cornering. Unless you're a F**king dumbass that hits the gas around the corner doing 140 mph, then you'll be fine.

    • i agree

      i had corvette before now i just got 2007 bmw 550 with sport package and 6 spd trans, this car it s like glued to the road, no matter how hard i change lanes and at whatever speed the car just stuck to the road with out any chance of skiding, so whatever patriotic S**t u dumb ass americans say, the truth is what this guy just deskribed.
      And i m not even saying anything about quality of the vehicles. American cars are putten together by mexicans so expect what you pay for. My car was built in Germany and then sent here. I trust it to last me untill i have to replace with one of those future flying cars.

      As for the corvette .... clutch replaced, trans rebulit, rear differential replaced and othe minor S**t Beside after like 15000 miles the car makes some weird anoying sounds that were really pissing me off. As for the Mustang I saw Saleen at dealershit for 58 K, this car exept for fast take off cant offer nothing else, the seats are so stiff that i had back spasm after few seconds of seating in it, good luck on the long distance trip.
      So be more realistic no matter how hard it is for your patriotic asses to sleep at night.

    • Are you serious?

      Are you reading articles from Motor Trend 1977? Nice of youy to generalize all American cars dipshit. so, have you driven all cars? you must have a lot of time on your hands. I have a Roush Mustang, very very fast and never even came close to loosing it. A moped corners well too, so what. and by the way, you buy Harleys in Europe..arent they loud ass hell?

    • you're a tard

      good thing you don't foolishly generalize (sarcasm). Ever heard of a corvette z06? I suggest you find it's lap times on the N'ring, I believe it's the 7th fastest production car on there, it costs around 70,000 grand and was only beaten by cars like, Zonda F, Carrera GT, Enzo, don't want to know their prices.

    • exactly

      Actually, because of supply shortages GT500s really go for like $60-65, so you're much better off buying a C6 Z06.

  • American Muscle at its finest.

    That Shelby Mustang would beat any German car for that same price hands down. And if you know how to drive you won't crash it. And if you can't drive the car because of the soft suspension spend some money and beef it up and there ya go your still cheaper than a German sports car and better. WOW we Americans actually know something.
    P.S.
    About the American President he reprsents only a certain amount of people in the United States.

    Do you guys think German cars are better than others?
    Like Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, VW (Volks-Wagen) and so on..?
