Finally, a muscle car with manners.

When you start the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 – at least one equipped with the optional navigation system – its angry cobra logo appears on the display in the center console subtitled with a polite “Good Morning,” or “Good Afternoon,” or whatever time of day it is. It’s a gracious gesture that serves to put you off guard, like when a movie hitman offers his mark a cup of espresso before introducing a crowbar to the back of his head.

That's just a bit creepy.  I don't want my car talking to me.  It was bad enough when I had one of the Hertz GPS units in my car for testing.  That thing was annoying. 

I'd like to see one of the Shelby GT500's cruising around town though.

I had a Nissan 200SX, I believe it was a 1984 or 1985 and it talked. It said "lights are on" "fuel level is low" and a few other things.  I heard "fuel level is low" constantly.  :p
