Since its launch a few years ago, the current-generation Shelby GT500 still receives a lot of praises. The hot Mustang won over critics, whether it's for dynamics or straight-line performance. Plus, that flat-plane crank V8 is music to any muscle car fan.
The Shelby GT500 uses a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 good for 760 horsepower (567 kilowatts) and a torque figure of 625 pound-feet (847 Newton-meters). Per factory claims, the car runs the 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) sprint in 3.3 seconds. When we tested it a few years ago, we said there is little reason to doubt those numbers.
