Ford’s recent lineup has had some spectacular performance cars. The Mustang is an icon, and the recent Ford Raptor had the company’s competitors making their own off-road pickups. A new video pits the ultimate versions of each in a pair of drag races to see which is the track king.
Powering the Shelby is Ford’s supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine. It produces a staggering 760 horsepower (566 kilowatts) and 625 pound-feet (847 Newton-meters) of torque. The coupe routes its power to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. While the GT500 is powerful, it’s also plump, weighing nearly 4,200 pounds (1,905 kilograms).
