American Muscle: Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

The new 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 is a Mustang on steroids, a lot of steroids. It has 5.8 liter V8 which bangs out 662 horsepower and 631 feet-pound of torque but the torque figures are actually lower when used in real life (dino testing). The GT500 has supercharger that along has more displacement then 80's Mustang. It is said the GT500 can spin its tire all the way through 3rd gear when you really punched down. The GT500 can do 0-60 in just 3.5 seconds and will go all the way up to 200mph when really pushed. It can also do a 11.6 second quoter-mile crossing the line at 125.7 mph. So for $63,000 you get too much power, no grill, a stripe and not sat nav... I'll take it for the Recaro seats.
