Description: $59,995. That is what it'll cost you to own this particular 2012 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 coupe. As you can clearly see, this is no ordinary GT500, fitted as it is with exotic supercar-style doo...Add Comments8
Cory PoteetDec 16, 2012 Carroll is up there somewhere shaking his head at this.... And Ferrucio and Enzo are laughing their asses off. How do you say "nice doors" in Italian?
Lando PerazaDec 15, 2012 Are they actual doors from an Aventador? No right? Then why call them Lambo doors? Who writes these articles?
Alex ArvanitisDec 15, 2012 Not a fan, I've seen stangs with these door kits, the door pockets become useless (anything falls out) and it looks goofy. Brawny muscle car with verticals doors? Not really a good combo
Donte PerinoDec 15, 2012 Scissor doors are another name.
Dale SchroederDec 15, 2012 Swing-up doors, subwoofer, radar detector... did we go backwards to 2003? Does it have flashing underglow neons and LED washer fluid nozzles too? Maybe a drift charm?
Adam ThomsonJan 27, 2013 Nope this dont work on the Mustang
Taylor LittleDec 19, 2012 Nope, needs suicide doors. [Doors that open from front to back, instead of back to front.] If I had the money.
Edgar JaureguiDec 16, 2012 It's not bad I think people really overreacted. I wouldn't mind them but they look good stock too
Cody GillardDec 16, 2012 No what happened to the muscle car being simple and unique why why would you do this
Yosef SahliDec 16, 2012 I don't find it so bad!! It is pretty nice
Cory AllenDec 16, 2012 No no no no no no no.....no.
Tom WilsonDec 16, 2012 Send it to the junk yard destroyed a beautiful car
Greg KenerlyDec 15, 2012 Lambo doors...so played out even Lambos don't have them anymore.
Justin RouthDec 15, 2012 You guys are taking this all WAY too literally. Obviously theyre not off a lambo but theyre lambo style in the way they open. Get your panties out of a bunch and quit stressing the little stuff
António Villas-BoasDec 15, 2012 These are not Lambo doors, Lambo doors only go on a Lamborghini! (For those who don't know, a Lamborghini is a great car with special scissor doors but that isn't just as good a car as a Ferrari...).
Lane HeinzDec 15, 2012 Idk whats so bad. Better than normal gt500...
David ParentiDec 15, 2012 Brandon, you are fighting a useless battle. People will forever call them Lambo doors. Let it go.
David ParentiDec 15, 2012 Unless you wanted to pay extra, because the company would have to purchase rights to the name. So they are sold as "scissor door kits".
David ParentiDec 15, 2012 If you buy a Lamborghini they are called lambo doors.
If you put them on your car, the correct aftermarket term for the door kits are "scissor doors".
The name lambo is trademarked/copyrighted.
The aftermarket kits can't be marketed as "lambo".
Michael NienDec 15, 2012 Sexxxxxxxxx-yyyyyy. I hope this makes it into production. But if you look at it long enough, it also seems to be saying, "I give up!"
Patrick SchalkDec 15, 2012 My condolences to the hardcore Mustang fans. Today is a sad day.
William DownsDec 15, 2012 Hey dumbass Brandon guess what scissor doors are also know as... Lambo doors dip shit, learn something before insulting people because u lack the knowledge to know there the same
Shane CarrollDec 15, 2012 If they didn't come factory, it don't need em. End of story
darrellbell24Dec 15, 2012 only lambos need lambo. doors...hence the name
Tyler TarboxDec 15, 2012 You'd think someone rich enough to buy this would have enough sense not to do something stupid to it like this but I guess not
Owen TiernanDec 15, 2012 @Jens Totally agree... They don't suite Japanese imports either!
Jens-Kristian Gram LarsenDec 15, 2012 In my opinion these doors don't fit this car. Only exotic cars like Lamborghini and Ferrari should have these doors. Theyre not for muscle cars which this is.
Quinn ConnerDec 15, 2012 Lambo doors...
So played out even lamborghinis don't have them
Description: It has a total of only 4,672 miles on the odometer and as you can see from the photos (courtesy of dnmotorcarsinc), it looks to be in near-perfect condition. Whether you think it improves the Mustang&...Add Comments7
Alex ArvanitisDec 15, 2012 Haha, I love when that happens, it's always good for a laugh when the google searches show 2013's with prices at dealerships
David ParentiDec 15, 2012 @alex yeah I know lol. I work with a guy who argued with me that you can NOT buy a 2013 car in 2012.
Alex ArvanitisDec 15, 2012 True but with the earl release of the 2013's late summer, the 2012's are more like 2011's.
It's be nice if models were actually released with the proper model year designation because most cars are really miss represented.
This one has 550hp
David ParentiDec 15, 2012 @jimmy, what? This is new, a 2012.
David ParentiDec 15, 2012 KBB doesn't take into account aftermarket add on's. and a dealer will not really pay you any more than your cars worth from KBB because of aftermarket parts.
If you think a car will be worth more because of minor mods. Bend over.
Jimmy CaseDec 15, 2012 @Alex especially with the new GT500's out. Big depreciation hit.
Alex ArvanitisDec 15, 2012 A used car being sold $5k above retail because of a $600 door actuator kit, a sub, maybe a deck and a catback? What the hell is wrong with these guys.
Good luck, you'll get $47xxx in cash from some dude or chick in january
Alex ArvanitisDec 15, 2012 It's a $600 kit, I'd love to put an IRS in one of these but the kits are $9k, couple it with an sla front for $5k and you would have an exotic fighter with accessory mods like brakes/tires/weight reduction.
These doors actuator kits fail so hard
Alex ArvanitisDec 15, 2012 On the 12 ya, for 13 they fattened them out again.
Ryan SansossioDec 15, 2012 Anyone else think shelby makes the stripes too skinny?
Alex ArvanitisDec 15, 2012 That door gap is obviously from the installation of the door actuator crap kit. They are $600 and do not work well to say the least.
Taylor GarryDec 15, 2012 Wow that gap is really bad
Alex ArvanitisDec 15, 2012 Needs 4" tips, those 3" tips are tiny.
My mechanics 2011 5.0 has a 3" with 4" tips tucked in and they look perfect. The older stangs don't flow near as well with anything over 3.5" but the number cutouts and design were much smaller back then
Alex ArvanitisDec 15, 2012 nals but once built correctly run well, vq's need block mods-main's crack, k, b, and d series mills need extensive mods but can make great peak power built, Sti/Evo mills break often at 600whp,
Anyone know another 1kwhp capable stock engine family?
Alex ArvanitisDec 15, 2012 it didn't blow up for a few thousand miles.
For comparison, stock valve train/internals jz Toyota mills experience head issues around 800whp, and much sooner, hundreds of miles.
Rb's need $tens of thousands to make 700whp, ls mills need new inter
Alex ArvanitisDec 15, 2012 very capable and tunable cam timing/head flow allow the modular line of svt v8's to really shine. Even the smaller 4.6L sc'd 03 cobra mills have made 1166whp with bone stock internals and simple gasket/studs but stock valve train. Not long, but
Alex ArvanitisDec 15, 2012 100% stock internals, and valve-train, these 5.4 modulars have handled upwards of 1000hp for a few thousand miles. Just head studs and gaskets.
No rb, b, k, vq, jz, b rotoray, ls, lt, or other car engines can claim that.
A tough block plus
William DownsDec 15, 2012 I agree there are plenty of legendary or even sucessful engine lines, I'm sure they could and shod make a series about them... that and how about some articles about the technology that made great cars... well great.. something different then articles about the same 10 cars
John M WeishahnDec 15, 2012 CarBuzz should post more stories about engines and performance than wheels and trick doors.
Alex ArvanitisDec 15, 2012 After, I can appreciate retro but the materials and gaps aren't as good as the c63, better than the gen 5 camaro IMO but its not like muscle cars are really about super spiffy awesome interiors anyways
Trey VillarrealDec 15, 2012 Before or after looking past the semi-retro intention?
Alex ArvanitisDec 15, 2012 It's not bad by any means, but competitors have better interiors, especially the c63
Alex ArvanitisDec 15, 2012 I wanna like this but it's just not up to date, 2015 will fix all of that though, so excited.
Alex ArvanitisDec 15, 2012 Ya I only get complaints about my 03's interior from girls that aren't into cars, the next time I scoop them I pull up in the gs or the fx and they quiet right up. Some girls are too materialistic. Most aren't buy some take the cake.
William DownsDec 15, 2012 Yea my friends got a sweet stang, the interior is horrible but when the motor is screaming the interior is the last thing u notice.. as long as the interior layout is nice I don't give a crap what materials there made out of.. not gonna affect the performance if they use plastic vs soft touch fancy materials
Alex ArvanitisDec 15, 2012 William, it's more so import and euro guys thy knock gm interiors, not American guys. Most mustang guys are like Chevy guys, they are driving the car, not looking at surfaces.
My 03's interior is rubbish but its quick so no shits are given.
Chris FriendDec 15, 2012 Wow what a horrible place to put the infotainment screen.
William DownsDec 15, 2012 Its personal preference... cause it based on looks and there subjective, so fords aren't any better.. there still crap and plastic just like gm.. but I also find the new ford interior extremely bland, like the current gm interior about 100x more
A.J. BradyDec 15, 2012 GMs interiors get bashed because they are worst then Fords. Fords are not great, just better then GMs. Fords intors. are about 18 to 30 months ahead of GMs. But its still like finishing 1st & 2nd in a Special Olympics race. No records are set by them
William DownsDec 15, 2012 I'm not saying it looks bad, but I find it funny that a lot of mustang fans bash gm interiors when there interior is the exact same thing... personally I don't car if its plastic, I'm driving not fondling my interior, I don't care what its made out of as long as the design looks nice... in was just pointing out that ford fans need to stop bashing gm interiors cause fords is the exact same thing
Oren BlumensteinDec 15, 2012 i'm a huge mustang fan but when it comes to this dash i'm out
looks too plain and flat
Owen TiernanDec 15, 2012 It's not too bad. It's not one of the greatest interiors by any means but it's not bad. Quite a step up from the mustangs before it.
William DownsDec 15, 2012 I'm 6'2 and have no problem getting in and out a a camaro, maybe your doing it wrong ;)
Zack HartmanDec 15, 2012 At least when I get in I don't hit my head like the camaro interior
Jacob MullnerDec 15, 2012 It really is pretty bland. I'm not bashing the use of plastic because I get the cost savings, but come on this is just dull
William DownsDec 15, 2012 In don't see how mustang fans talk crap about gm interiors... this isn't any better looking then anything gm is using... and that center stack, looks like it was a last minute thought... looks super cheap
Alex ArvanitisDec 16, 2012 The2013 gt500 obliterated m3's and c63's.
M cars are well balanced and amazing but the gt500 with track packs is much more capable.
I know you mentioned seats, but they are such different cars that its easy to see BMW=comfort/quick gt500=fast
Alex ArvanitisDec 16, 2012 Very true, but they also are much much much much slower. A $30k gt with the brembo package was .09 seconds off a $70,000 m3 csl around streets of willow in motortrends comparison test, the vids on YouTube.
This gt500 was 1.5 seconds faster than gt
Stas AllenDec 16, 2012 M3 or just 3 Series in general have MUCH MUCH MUCH better rear seats.
Carroll is up there somewhere shaking his head at this.... And Ferrucio and Enzo are laughing their asses off. How do you say "nice doors" in Italian?
Are they actual doors from an Aventador? No right? Then why call them Lambo doors? Who writes these articles?
@Dale You are 100% right!!!
Just makes it gaudy.
Not a fan, I've seen stangs with these door kits, the door pockets become useless (anything falls out) and it looks goofy. Brawny muscle car with verticals doors? Not really a good combo
Scissor doors are another name.
Blasphemy!!!!!
Swing-up doors, subwoofer, radar detector... did we go backwards to 2003? Does it have flashing underglow neons and LED washer fluid nozzles too? Maybe a drift charm?
