Default I drove them both...

....and I bought the Shelby GT. My favorite original Shelby was the '66 GT350. No spoiler, no supercharger, and converted at Shelby American...just like the Shelby GT. The car has a great roar when you step on the gas and a cool Hurst short throw shifter. Ford racing springs/shocks/roll bars are a bit stiff on rough roads but the car has tremendous grip without the nosedive and body roll of the GT500. It hauls ass but the GT500 is much quicker. I chose the Shelby GT over the GT500 to go with my Ford GT and 427 Kirkham. I have 2000 miles on it and LOVE the car. Shelby GT's get a Shelby CSM#plate on the dash and under the hood and they go into the Shelby registry. Mine is # CSM07SGT0582. Here's a photo of my Shelby trio.
