Ford Hits Magic Number with 2007 Shelby Mustang

The auto industrys best performance car value? No doubt Ford dealers would like to hang a similar moniker around its new Shelby GT500s rearview mirror when pricing is finally announced, but boosting horsepower over the magical 500 mark will definitely make up for any increases over the previous SVT Mustang Cobras sub-$40K range.

of 25 hp makes all the psychological difference - its now in Viper territory. Torque will be just shy of the Viper at 480 lb-ft, but ample nevertheless.

"With 500 hp and the Shelby name, this car is an instant legend," commented Hau Thai-Tang, director, Advanced Product Creation & SVT programs.� "This is the most powerful, most capable Mustang ever."
