Well guys, I traded in Lucy (Lucifer) my Red 2016 GT350 after 6 1/2 years and 48k miles. While I considered the GT500, I came to the conclusion that I seldom if ever use 526 HP, there is no chance that I would need 760.... Now parked in the garage is a 2022 BMW Z4 M40i... 0-100 9.1 sec and 12.2 quarter mile... Not the fasted, but more than I need and a really nice ride. Whenever I see a Shelby on the street, I know I'll be a little jealous and envious... Have Fun All!!!

You’ll find your way back to the stable 😊
^^^ They always do....

Nice Z4, glad to see BMW is taking styling cues from the S550.... you could always slap a Mustang pony on it and some folks wouldn't know the difference...

I don't doubt that a little bit. Lucy was #9, so another would surprise NO ONE!

You lead with how you would not ever need all the horsepower, then finish by posting times of your new car. You seem confused.

NOT AT ALL. I factually nearly never used all 526 ponies. I absolutely have no need for the 760 of the GT500. I do appreciate that if I want to my new ride scoots well. These things can peacefully co-exist.
