Description: We're figuring the coupe will set you back by around $60,000 (the convertible will likely be a bit more), but that's still an incredible bargain considering the power to dollar ratio. And wi...

Let's run the numbers 2013 5.8 2.3 (supercharger) 650 60,000??? .... YES PLEASE!!!!!
I have my doubts that it will only be $60,000 with their claimed carbon fiber chasis and performance specs, that stuffs expensive
Those rear tires aren't "little" (perspective) and that same solid axel does well for drag cars (mucho horsepower) and the Mach, which will outrun an M3 on the tracks.
Looks pretty...just wondering about that solid axle and those little rear tires
@Luke how is the old one? This is the 2013 it hasn't even been released yet.
They don't need to change the looks much because the car is already stunning
@Michael a whole new generation is coming in 2014 so ford probably didn't bother I do a major facelift on this one.
why buy this one if a new one is to come out a year later? didn't work out so well with the 2010 mustang buyers
ya, it does look great, but with a completely new emging & stuff you would think they'd facelift it a bit more.
@Michael then you don't know mustangs very well. Even if they aren't major changes, they're very noticeable little ones. Especially under the hood.
That's where ur wrong hood has changed siding has as well and I'm sure there are other things that have changed
I'm a Chevy guy but I gotta admit those tail lights are some of the coolest I've seen in a while
Apparently they didn't learn anything from the super snake massive power and skinny tires do not match well
Still not sold on the front ends of the GTs, but these Shelby's just look mean as could be. That's why I'll be ordering my '12 Kona Blue on Sunday. :)
Ya judging by that ride height there is no way this is hittin 200 without taking off like a paper airplane
There is no way in hell those skinny tires can handle 650 HP without some crazy understeer occurring. Fit 280s up front, 300s in the rear, and let it fly.
I don't know what dope means but those exhaust are pretty normal looking too me
Hang the antenna idea!! If ur n a car w650 hp u want to hear the engine not the radio
Pretty nice improvements. Can't wait to test drive one. May have to trade my '07 GT convertible in for one.
I love those lights for their shape, not the signals. These just look mean! To add, the dual tips on each side are amazing!!!
Ya it only took them fifty years to copy the thunderbirds lights onto the stang, 65 t bird had the sequential taillight back when this car was just a baby
I'm with you, Jim, this car looks like a cross-eyed, overweight kid on the hunt for a Twinkie.
kitchen?! lol that comments too funny! while she's in there bake me a cake!
@Jim lmao your kidding right? Let me guess, you think the most aggressive looking car is a Prius or Leaf?
That looks like the least aggressive\mean front end ever it looks like its cross eyed and smiling
Is that the fastest kitchen in the world? There is a woman in there, so it has to be a kitchen.
It looks like it just wants to eat anything in its path. It's so aggressive.
@Jim only trolls comment on every single last page to complain because their cars aren't good enough.
One day, when I'm older. And the fame brings money my way lol. But in all seriousness, this is a purchase on the bucket list.
@Jim why the hell do you have a Confederate flag as your profile picture?
I should rephrase my last comment. They're not automatic from the factory, but there are third party companies that convert them to autos that are supplied by Shelby. Rumor has it they will make a factory auto for the new GT500
Yes, just so they can sell more. The ZL1 will have an auto, why not this?
Between the mod motor and the Ls the ford is the high tech one. Suspension is a different story and the zl1 is more modern. Well we'll all see who is gloating after the gt500 is tested
Brady what I you mean 'pushrod tech'? You know pushrods are the old way to build motors right? The camaro engine is good, but it certainly isnt new technology.
Chevy is ahead of for regardless with the ZR1 and I don't car ford tried to punk Chevys best camaro and did ( at least on the hp). And when ford decides to punk ferrari again with another ford GT type car the ZR1 will just be one of many left in
@Brady. Apparently you don't read very well or just haven't been paying attention...but...both the ZL1 and the ZR1 are supercharged too. And yet the GT500 has more horsepower than either. Read before you make wild comments.
If i'm not mistaken this is a blown 5 8? Chrvy is ALL motorz Ford hasn't even came out with push rod tech!! Wtf there is no comparison. You're comparing Fords top best most extreme model to Chevy's what, 3rd best model? Chevy is so far ahead of Ford.
I am a ford guy and I think Kia and Chevy are only ford straight line and everything else suks
i say each the mustang is for a straight line and the camaro is for twist and turns
Lmao Mario xD And we can't really say yet that this at will suck at corners. Hopefully Ford upgrades the handling to a point where it can handle extreme speed and fast corners. I can't say who would win on a track until a head to head race.
@ Jim Jimm. I am Kia guy. Kia is better then any car company because I like Kia. I really have no facts to support my statement.
I'm a Chevy guy always have been always will be ford sucks and dodge ain't worth talking about
I think Vincent is referring to the vid of the guy in his v6 that broke his drive shaft that was on here a while back. The gt500 has a beefed up drive train of course. I'm not insulting your intelligence. Just for those who didn't know
Hope the driveshaft holds up at speeds 135. Lolol
Hope the drive shaft holds up ;)
@Chloe I'd still take it over the 2. Hell I'd just look at it
The original pony car and the king! Thank you zl-1 for making it that much better, competition is awesome for the consumer.
That's only on paper, Chloe. The spec sheets are only half the battle.
Finally a good car debuting in Detroit, yay, I'm happy now!!!!!!
I love the power on it but I wonder how it will handle. The ZL1 isn't as fast and is heavier but I wonder if it's settings for racing and its magnetic ride control will help it win? I really wanna see the two head to head
Oh I'm so proud, Ford finally waking up to smack down Chevrolet. And people complaining about this not being the most powerful, they probably mean most powerful production V8 at stock.
I think this will spank the ZL1 but if ford thinks this can even complete with the Z06 it will be sadly outgunned. The ZR1 goes without saying. Ford will punk those cars with a Ford GT... If they ever make a new one.
I would not want to go 200 in a low aerodynamic muscle car
Oh yeah. Lol only been up 15 minutes at the time I retract that comment
@Michael, Ford is claiming this is the most powerful V8 in mass series production. They are not saying it's the most powerful V8 ever but the claim is vague enough to make it sound that way. While it's true they are much more powerful, the Agera, Zenvo, and Ultimate Aero are all limited production supercars.
Saleen S7, Gumpert Apollo, I could list more hp V8's all day
@ Sean, exept it's not naturally aspirated it has a supercharger
I say the Ford gt500 edges out Chevy ZL1 when they hit the real world.. its gonna be close.. but if ford has figured out how to handle that HP there won't be a thing stopping it. Chevy is too heavy in my book.
I'm pretty sure they mean most powerful "NA" V8 that's mass produced.
a few faster V8's are the Koenigsegg Agera R with a twin turbo V8 putting out 1,099hp, and the Zenvo ST1 with a super & turbocharged V8 putting out 1,104hp, I think these have the right to claim most powerful V8's not the Shelby.
I'm probably still going to get a ZL1 in a few years, the Shelby news is a little displeasing, but their claim to be fastest V8 is false, so I'm not really sure if I beleive their numbers until I see a dyno.
Some of the comments I see is ridiculous. The mustang is better engineered than a chevy. Ford is not what they use to be. Ford have better vehicles than the past. I believe this mustang will beat down the ZR1. I only agree about the weight.
200 is risky for such a heavy car? How massive is the veyron again?
Over 200 seems a little risky for such a heavy car..I prefer less HP and lighter for better cornering
haha most powerful V8 the most powerful V8 is in the SSC ultimate areo
It's production v8...
The Camaro ZL1 is heavier than the GT500, you GM tool. :)
Too bad its too heavy for its own good and is hampered by the ancient technology of the solid axle. They are shooting for the zr1 and will fail. A mustang will fall apart with that kind of power
U do know da sls only makes 563hp right?
The Mosler MT900 can't be considered a production car because they made less than 50 of them, racecars not included. And they used LS engines anyway. This is the most powerful V8 put in series production. Compared to the GT500, the SLS, Agera R, Venom GT, and Ultimate Aero are all in very limited production.
I like the mustang, the modern ones corner really well
The Amg 6.2 in the sls makes more power, and it's NA. And don't even talk about the agera r's twin turbo 5.0 v8. 1200 hp. Same with the venom gt.
Or maybe production.
The ZL1 guys are probably pissed as hell about this car haha
Most powerful v8? There are v6s with more hp and torque than that
