Ford Shelby GT500


The Shelby GT500 seems to breed of two different animals the American Muscle and the Super car. It provides raw power and torque for those speed demons but it does up the power with the added Supercharger; it has some classic style and design for most and some luxury and exotic feel for others; and, it possesses a surprisingly luxurious interior for those yearning for a bit of pampering from their sports car. Its powered by a 5.4L supercharged V8 that pumps out and incredible 550 horsepower and 510 lb-ft. of torque. It will hit 60 in a little over 4 seconds and still maintain a decent fuel economy. Which is impressive from a superchargered monster V8. The gigantic Brembo brakes bring stopping power to a rather remarkable 106 feet from 60 mph, and the confident handling makes for a very well-balanced feel. Its interior mimics its 1960s ancestors, but provides a technological look and feel of a modern sport car. Insurance for an animal like this will sure be high but it is worth it.
