2011 Shelby GT500 Convertible rolled up to the Arrivals area at Detroit Metro Airport.
And like that, we were off, the beginning of a 5,000-mile journey, in the most expensive Mustang you can buy. Starting in Detroit, we were to drive to New York City to participate in the Bullrun Rally, a 3,500 mile checkpoint-style rally from New York to Las Vegas over six days. We would see, on our coast-to-coast journey, almost every type of terrain and conditions that the United States had to offer.
The 2011 Shelby GT500 is not radically different from the 2010 model (shown) that it replaces, although it is significantly improved from the 2007-2009 models, which has been described as “a Crown Victoria with a supercharger on it.” The new car is faster, tighter, better appointed, and just, well, better.
