24 hours with Mustang SHELBY GTH PIX

I was bored at home so the other day when i returned the rental at Hertz at the Ontario airport I noticed this beast on their lot. Looked into it yesterday and it is part of Hertz's fun collection and rented out at 113$/day. CHEAP!!! I checked it out for 24 hours just to see what the deal was with this Mustang GTH (only available at Hertz in this configuration and color scheme).

Well the car is really really LOUD. Very nice out of the box set up as far as that is concerned. The car is a bit slow off the line, but once it rolls, it picks up HARD. It's a small V8 setup from what I gather, only 325hp, but comes complete with CAI, catback exhaust and lowered suspsension. Drives like shit, it's very rough on the distance and cruise drive, very noisy interior and every piece of plastic in there ratttles like crazy! Overall I think its a great car but could use a lot of savoir faire of the japanese and german in terms of fit and finish....

Go rent it for a day of fun while they still have them! Hertz required a 6 hour prep of the car before i could pick it up (dont know why really...) but I heard they are available at most major airports or something...

Enjoy the pics!

while i havent driven one of these, I had a regular mustang for a rental a little bit ago. ride was harsh, steering needed help, and the plastic interior made me want to puke.

The one you got seems like it would be more fun, but driving the one I had made me think I needed to put in some dip and throw on some wranglers.

awesome! Those were specially made for Hertz, and very expensive. There are less than 500 of them on the road.

Those are tie downs. Not needed , but remind you of old hot rods that required them.
Great write up and even better pix.
It may rattle, but damn it looks great!

Those will be collectors items as soon as they are sold. It's my understanding that they plan to auction them off at some point.
