  • 2013 Shelby Mustang GT500 to boast over 600HP

    Car and Driver reports that the 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 will boast as much as 620 horsepower. Naturally, the powerplant providing all those ponies will be a supercharged V8, in this case bored out to displace 5.8 liters instead of the 5.4 we've been seeing for the last several years.

    Car and Driver's math tells us, assuming the power and weight estimates are in the ballpark, to expect a scorching 12.0-second quarter mile time from the 2013 GT500, a top speed that could be as high as 190 miles per hour and a sticker price of roughly $60,000.

    For what it's worth, Chevrolet is estimating that the supercharged and intercooled 6.2-liter LSA V8 engine that will power its Camaro ZL1 – the top run (so far) of Chevy's muscle car lineup – will put out around 550 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque. Naturally, that's all subject to change...

    While english faggots are driving smart cars on roads infested with speed cameras, America is making 600HP cars that can actually go around corners, have proper brakes and suspension.

    Oh how the tides have changed. Europe, better step up your game. Making heavy, under powered, over priced M3's isnt going to cut it.

      I'd give it a run:D

        bro your car just beats the 370 by .4 seconds 0-60.

        your car and my car are not even a comparison to those cars. it would beat our cars by well over a second.

        your issue is weight. its a sedan bro. put the engine from your car in a proper sports car and then you would be in the same league.

              I'm heavier and faster than you:rofl:

              and fuck you...the 2011 and 2012 look exactly the same asshole....don't make me come over you house right now...I'm right down the street:)
              you are slightly faster to 60 because of the 80-90 HP advantage.

              even with that its only .4 seconds quicker. do you understand how close that is? by the time we got to 60 you would only be like 2 feet in front. the front of my car would be even with your passenger side door.

                Doesn't matter how many horses that shellby has under the hood if ford doesn't fix the rear end of that car it's not gonna be able to put the power to the ground properly so it's 0-60, 1/4 mile and even track time will suffer.
