As the most powerful and quickest factory Mustang ever, the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 blends modern sports-car performance with iconic muscle-car presence. It builds on the same racetrack-capable chassis as the excellent.

With an additional 234 horsepower that lends it credibility at the drag strip as well. The GT500 makes speed effortlessly with equal parts brains and brawn, including a supercharged V-8 that hammers out 760 horsepower, a quick-shifting seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, and. Optional carbon-fiber wheels, track tires, and aerodynamic aids are available for drivers looking to get the most out of this monster Mustang.

The 2020 Shelby GT500 is the best-performing Mustang to ever exit a Ford assembly plant. The Shelby GT500's single powertraina 760-hp supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 that revs to 7500 rpm with a seven-speed dual-clutch automaticis engineered for speed but trying to put the engine's full might through only the rear tires means this Shelby isn't as quick as you might expect.

We anticipate the GT500 will be good for a 3.5-second rip to 60 mph and an 11.0-second quarter-mile once we run one through our testing protocol. Cars with significantly less power but more rear grip, such as the mid-engine. Will handily outrun that zero-to-60-mph time. Of course, it's not all about straight-line performance. On a racetrack, the GT500 snaps off raucous shifts and sounds every bit as menacing as it is.

While it's heavy with an estimated curb weight of 4200 pounds, the GT500 corners with confidence and turns in without hesitation. We wish the brake pedal were firmer, but the massive Brembo brakes hold up nicely to track abuse, with no evidence of fade. The Mustang Shelby GT500 is palatial compared with the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. But if you want comfort with your tire-smoking burnouts and quarter-mile launches, you can't do better than the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.

The GT500's cockpit is tighter than the Dodge's, and its suspension is firmer. That said, the Mustang is surprisingly livable for how laser-focused it is on performance.

If you plan to actually use the rear seat, it's the Dodge you want. The GT500's trunk, at 14 cubic feet, is significantly larger than the Camaro's (9 cubic feet), but slightly smaller than the Challenger's (16 cubic feet). Every Shelby GT500 comes with an 8.0-inch touchscreen running Ford's Sync 3 infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. The standard setup also includes SiriusXM satellite radio, a CD player, two USB ports, and nine speakers. Ford offers several active safety and. On lesser Mustangs that are unavailable on the GT500.
