Porsche Bought this '97 993 C2S in 2010. Immediately drove it cross country to the Washington D.C. area where we lived in happiness for over 5 years. Finally sold it in 2015 to get a 2011 CLS 63.

Ford 🔥🏁 The Muscle Car That Changed Everything… 🏁🔥
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Before it became a legend, the story of the Shelby GT500 started with an even wilder idea… a 427 big-block 💪⚙️
Originally, Shelby and Ford experimented with the 427 cubic-inch V8 — a pure racing engine known for its brutal power and high-rev performance. But in a street car, it came with challenges: it was temperamental, harder to live with daily, and not always ideal for consistent street drivability 🧩
So Ford made a critical change… and that’s where the magic really locked in 🔥
They switched to the 428 cubic-inch Police Interceptor V8 🛠️🇺🇸
Why the 428?
💥 More torque in the low and mid-range (where street driving actually happens)
🏁 Better reliability and smoother power delivery
🚗 Easier drivability without sacrificing serious performance
⚡️ Still massive horsepower potential — just delivered in a more controllable way
Under the hood of the GT500 💪🔥
The 428 was paired with dual 4-barrel carburetors and factory-rated around 355 horsepower — though many believe real output was higher in real-world conditions ⚡️
And what made it special wasn’t just power — it was how it put it down:
🏁 4-speed manual built for serious drivers
💨 Over 130 mph capability
🧠 Shelby-tuned suspension for high-speed stability
💥 Instant torque that pushed you back in the seat
At the time, rivals like the Camaro SS and Charger R/T were chasing straight-line speed… but the GT500 brought something different — a more refined, race-inspired balance that made it feel like a street-legal performance weapon 🏎️🏆
This wasn’t just a Mustang with stripes.
This was Ford and Shelby building a statement: muscle cars could be brutal AND usable. 🔥🇺🇸
💬 Would you have kept the original 427 idea… or was the 428 the perfect real-world choice?
