Laying Em Out This 2011 GT500 Drives Like a Monster.

HE wasn’t easy to catch, but we finally pinned down owner Salvador Meza to tell us why he is still not done with his nearly 1,000-rwhp GT500.

Meza pulled in a deep breath and exhaled before saying, “The car does drive like a monster, although at idle she feels like stock when you’re driving like a regular human being. Once you go full throttle your head slams back into the Recaro seat and the car pulls like a freight train, only wanting to go faster. She handles and corners very well even though the 950 ponies tend to slew her sideways from time to time.”

Though he is just 24, Meza is no rookie. Early on, he cut teeth on a V-6 Mustang, then pumped up to 2002 and 2005 GTs. He began to get serious with a 2003 Cobra, the 2006 SRT8 Charger, and his daily squeeze, a 2012 SRT8 Grand Cherokee. Meza is probably a little freakier about his cars than most other Mustang drivers. He says he sees and hears with a different ear.
