- coupe 14,073 gasoline grey manual
One of 370 of this color and stripe scheme. Back in 1967, the shelby gt500 was the most powerful mustang to date, with 360 horsepower. This iconic pony car, along with its less powerful gt350 stablemate, was renowned for its snarling performance and distinguished by its wide body stripes and strip-style taillights borrowed from the mercury cougar. Years later, the gt500 would make a pop-culture comeback, starring as eleanor alongside nicolas cage in the remake of gone in sixty seconds. Now the gt500 is back, and this time it has an equal amount of hp to back up that number. The 2009 ford shelby gt500 is a true embodiment of its illustrious forbear, with retro styling and an even more retro overall character. Like those muscle cars of yore, this car is all about laying as much power to the pavement as possible, with going around corners a secondary concern. Those 500 horses are generated by an engine derived from ford s future-classic gt super-car. Differences include a wet-sump oil system (versus race-oriented dry-sump), a cast-iron block (instead of aluminum) and a roots-type supercharger. The result is an engine that s gruffer classic muscle-car. And that mission is obviously to go fast, obliterate tires, embarrass obstinate wrx drivers and make raucous noises more in line with a rocket ship than an automobile. On those counts, mission accomplished. This is truly a bad, nifty car that can rip from zero to 60 mph in 4. 6 seconds and make the quarter-mile disappear in 12. 8 seconds.
