Also the modern GT500's have only come in basic colors, Grabber (Baby) Blue and Kona (Dark Blue/Purple Mix) being the most 'exotic' colors ever to be given to them. They are getting red tint coat this summer though!
The 2011+ GT500's are only available with HID headlamps also.
BTW the stripes on that 'GT500' were Super Snake stripes, that makes the car even funnier. The Super Snake is the ultimate/super rare/super fast Shelby Mustang, not to be faked. Only a idiot would try to make a V6/GT into Super Snake. That's so lame.
Just some info for you to help your Mustang knowledge to spot a fake 'GT500'. This isn't a Mustang forum so I won't post any more info unless asked.
Also people might be negatively replying to your post because it appears that this is the SS/LS/LT sub forum, try posting in the Off-Topic or General Automotive sections and see if response improves. I don't see anything wrong besides that in your post.

That's some good info indeed! I've never looked too far into modern gt500s, I'll never own one. I appreciate the info though.
Just from the side, I noticed he had no supersnake hood. However, he DID have the SVT rims from the GT500.
And I see your point on where to post this. I posted this thread here mainly because of what happened, not because it was a mustang. Like I said, it coulda been any other car. Just an idiot in the car.

I wondered the same about Ace.
And It's not my fault some idiot badged his car something it was not.
I know more that most about mustangs, thank you very much. I thought I was getting a mustang before I got my camaro. And I've been a member of mustangfroums.com since April 2010. I've got a '67 and '68 mustang back at home.
Now please, don't doubt my ability to properly identify a mustang.
If the car was parked in a parking lot I would tell the difference. 7:30 at night, in the dark, lined up next to me, I made the best of the few glances I took. I didn't want to dignify the toolbag by looking his car up and down. Seems like the guy had enough ego issues.
