First, you use Line Lock to turn some of your tires into smoke. Then, you engage launch control, and when the lights change, you let off the brake, and the car does the rest. The best of my three runs, although the only real difference in any of them was my reaction time鈥攖he car did everything else flawlessly. We weren't being timed on track for sensible reasons. I include this to show that it was capable of pretty good lateral Gs, and the trip computer decided that the on-track range is only 50 miles. Which is probably around 30 laps of the road course at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. We found out at the drag strip that a GT500 is capable of accelerating very quickly indeed. Drag racing a GT500 is extremely simple, as long as you manage to engage the car's line lock function to properly warm the tires.
You can tell the GT500 how many revs to dial up when you use launch control, and with the car in Drag mode (separate to Track) the transmission will shift automatically with more precision than most of us meatballs. With those systems active, your sole contribution will be reacting to the lights鈥攕omething you'll note I wasn't great at according to the timing slips. After three runs, my best quarter-mile time was 11.493 seconds, of which 1.221 seconds was reaction time. Going fast in a straight line is fine, but as regular readers know, the corners are what get me excited. Admittedly, I've had some bad luck with the weather at previous Mustang track drives, but this time there was nothing but sunshine, blue skies, and plenty of time to get some laps in. At which point, it became clear just how competent the GT500 is. In Track mode鈥攚hich tweaks the engine throttle map, transmission shifts, and magnetorheological dampers鈥攖he GT500 was near-unflappable.
I had expected to see the traction control intervene, particularly as the car transitioned out of slow corners on full throttle, and yet I don't think I saw the little yellow warning glyph appear even once. The best I could manage was a little bit of unwanted oversteer on one corner exit, easily caught. The GT500's brakes deserve special praise. A Shelby GT500 weighs 4.171lbs (1,891kg) thanks mostly to the supercharger and all the extra cooling systems, which is a considerable amount of mass. If I had any issues in the brake department, it's that the pedals could be slightly better spaced for left-foot braking, which is an extremely minor complaint. Whether or not you should buy a Shelby GT500 is actually quite simple. If you don't intend to track it, then save your money and buy one of the lesser Mustangs. If the answer to that question is yes, then the Shelby should be considered alongside more exotic trackday specials, stuff like Porsche's 911 GT2 RS maybe, or domestic competition like the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and Dodge Challenger Hellcat SRT. Whether a GT500 is quicker around a given track than any of those is actually immaterial. These aren't race cars鈥擬ultimatic and Ford will happily sell you a GT4 Mustang if you need one of those鈥攕o the GT500 is more about the emotion it engenders rather than competitive lap times. And in this regard, the GT500 delivers plenty of smiles per mile.
I give this one a pass. If ever there was a vehicle I didn't expect to see at a Texas car show, the Renault Alpine GTA is probably it. An updated successor to the A310, the GTA was a plucky turbo-powered sports car from France. Alpine had plenty of experience with performance cars, most notably the A110, which was a force to be reckoned with on a rally stage. This GTA is a 1986 model, and I imagine there aren't many of these in the U.S. As such, it's a treat to see one, especially one in such incredible condition. The Volkswagen Beetle is a very popular car in Austin. Most of them are 1970's models, with a healthy smattering of 1960's models mixed in. This, however, is a 1959 Beetle, and that is decidedly less ubiquitous. Custom wheels and a roof rack add a personal flair, but this would be cool regardless.
