"The 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 can do 200 mph. Yes, that's right. We now have a 200-mph Mustang. By deductive reasoning, the Shelby is absurd. And it's surprising, since the GT500 appears just as we were thinking Ford had gone all yuppie with the Boss 302 -- the impressively multidimensional Mustang that's so well-rounded it could conceivably find its way into the garage of a BMW owner.

The GT500, on the other hand, has one purpose: to go fast. The Shelby can hit 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and blow through the quarter-mile in 11.7 seconds at 125 mph, and it's got the most powerful series-production V-8 ever. Yep, the 2013 Shelby GT500 is the biggest, baddest bragging machine this side of a Chevy Corvette ZR1 or an SRT Viper -- especially since it costs less than either and has more horsepower than both."


"What the GT500 is capable of is 200 mph for $55,000. In that regard, it's unquestionably in a class of one. Ford feels that the Shelby GT500 doesn't compete in any way with the Boss 302, despite the fact that they're both Mustangs. We agree, because as sophisticated and well-rounded as the Boss is, the GT500 is equally muscle-car brash. It's neither rewarding nor particularly involving, but it's unbelievably fast. If cheap speed is your thing, boy, does Ford have a Mustang for you."
