They cost about $50k brand new, and they weight between 3600- 3800lbs not 4000 and above. And AGREED the handling may not feel on par with an M3, however it was stated before that the new 2011 GT, laid down on par times with an M3. Surely the GT driver may have been a bit better, but no matter which way you cut it ,that's still impressive . I cant say it enough . The 2010 models are VASTLY improved over the 05-09 models. I do find it hard to believe that you have driven a 2010 GT500 . And were UNIMPRESSED with the car overall for the low price of $50k. If you were unimpressed with the performance then i STRONGLY advise you to drive a GT500 with BASIC bolt ons because truth be told.... a Stock GT500 is practically ASLEEP at 540hp.

I test drove an 09. the 10 model 0-60 in 4.3 not that impressive for 540bhp but it is quick.

The 09 4.5 0-60 like i said NOT IMPRESSED!!!! lol
"According to a road test in the July 2006 issue of Car and Driver magazine, the boys from Ann Arbor clocked their Shelby GT500 at 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds with the quarter-mile at 12.9 seconds. Although the Challenger SRT8 is quick, it does appear as though the Shelby GT500 is the faster of the two."
Very expensive, the ones on the lot were more then this on too.

Lastly i LIKE mustangs. So please stop taking it personal. I hate the 05-09 models, if the 10 models are that much better I would love to buy one.
