Shelby GT500
If the 300 hp Mustang GT just isn’t doing enough for you, you may be interested in the new Shelby GT500 model, to be introduced next year as a 2007 model. Exact figures aren’t available yet, but it’s going to be equipped with a 5.4 liter supercharged V8, producing somewhere between 450 and 485 horsepower, depending on whom you talk to.

The car is reportedly more of a driver’s car than the previous SVT Mustangs. Handling has been improved, even over the 2005 Mustang GT. Even at a fairly hefty 3850 pounds, the car covers the quarter mile in the 12’s.

Price is expected to start at around $40,000. Where else can you get nearly 500 horsepower for $40,000? Hats off to Ford and the SVT folks.
