The new Hertz GT’s are tuned by Shelby American in Las Vegas to produce approximately 20 HP more than the 300 HP rating of the stock Mustang GT.
Considering you can’t even rent a standard 5-speed GT through Hertz, the new GT350H will surely be a popular upgrade - assuming any of the cars are returned after the first rental.

  2. Rented #07H350 for a week. Attracts a lot of attention, but mostly from men. Pros: sounds awesome on the highend, relatively quick, handles a little better than a stock mustang. Cons: Attracts unwanted attention, no switch to disable traction control (fortunately, power-braking to warm up tires for launch is still possible.) Overall, the 350Z, Crossfire, and the Miata are better rental upgrades. The 350Z is faster overall, the Crossfire is unique, gets wanted attention, and is moderately quick in a straight line and handles well but the open diff detracts, the Miata handles very well and the upped hp of the new models helps.


  3. DROVE ONE IN VEGAS FOR A WEEK. AWESOME CAR REAL HEADTURNER. FAST HANDLES GREAT AND LOOKS FANTASTIC. HAD A 2007 VERT. #07H414.


  4. i have one. 2007 mustang shelby gt 500. i love it. its black with black chrome rims and its lowered more.


  5. Just for any potential renters information,your insurance company is responsible for damages or lost while you are renting.


  6. The Shelby looks like it is a nice car. I am a car fan and I like to see an old car with a new look, That is why I like the Shelby it has that new look.


  7. It’s sounding like you have the right things. But i like to se some small power to. Like the SHO 3.2 come back. I mean i love the big V-8 but im a little man. lol


  8. Sounds like a fun thing.
    It’ll be interesting to see if all the Mario wanta-be’s can handle one of those babys.!!!


  9. Thats awesome ok hit miami rent a stang paint that bitch and get the hell out of there.


  10. Good luck getting one. I doubt they would be that easy to get..


  11. Perfect. I would be relocating to SF this month.


  12. Heading to Tampa this weekend so I gave them a call - they’re not there yet! According to the person I had on the phone they’re not showing as part of the “fleet” - however I should ask at the counter as that may be the only way to get one……

    I wonder how many will get rented and never returned. Seems that that’s going to be the cheapest way to get one (as opposed to waiting until they go to auction after they’ve been beaten to death). I do not believe that legally Hertz can charge a replacement cost much in excess of the actual value of the car….


  13. Right on — does anyone know where they are going to be , and what the rental price is going to be — Can’t wait to go on my next trip — even if I have to create one
