A weapon on the road, drag strip, & track.

The 2020 Shelby GT500 produces 760 horsepower and 625 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful production car Ford has ever built. The car was designed with three goals in mind: dominate the road, track, and drag strip. The 5.2L crossplane V8 engine shares an upgraded block with the Shelby GT350, as well as plasma sprayed cylinder liners. On top sits a 2.65L supercharger, with a clutch that never decouples, encouraging endless boost in the manifold.

I had the opportunity to try out the GT500 on some curvy Nevada roads, as well as on a drag strip, and a race track. On top of this, I had discussions with Ford Mustang chief engineer, GT500 chief engineer, and a cooling systems/aero engineer for the GT500. Check out the video for all the nerdy details about the engineering of this car, as well as how it drives!

  • I wanted another Mustang for 30 years. This one makes me want to take my truck my bike and my car down and trade them all in so that I could afford it, LOL.

  • I find it weird that the one glaring difference wasn't mentioned when discussing the weight differences.

    The Supercharger itself. How much does it weigh?
