2020 Mustang Shelby GT500: More Muscle For America?s Supercar
The 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500 is one of America’s most powerful muscle cars.Â
Engineers developed an advanced transmission to handle the GT500’s horsepower.
Zero to 60 in the mid-three-second range and equally-impressive quarter-mile times.
I?ll never forget my first encounter with a Shelby GT500. I was driving along at a gingerly pace when everything came to a halt. Apparently, the Shelby GT500 up ahead was trying to execute a three-point turn on a two-lane road. The car in front ? who refused to be bothered by all the commotion ? went ahead and passed the Shelby. I, on the other hand, applied the brakes and signaled the Shelby driver to go ahead.
Setting The Stage
Obviously mesmerized by what I was seeing, the Shelby made quite a noise as it lazily made the turn. The driver ? who rolled the window down as he completed the turn ? gave me a friendly honk, a smiling nod, and stepped on the gas. As he did, I caught the exhaust pipes which exited right under the driver?s door. It was an aftermarket titanium system with a sound I can only describe as mighty loud. I was 25 in my moderately-flashy, Japanese sports coupe. I?m telling you, seeing this powerful muscle car making a three-point turn ironically became a turning point (no pun intended) in my own life. That moment deepened my passion for the motor car. And if I can?t have them, then I should probably just write about ?em for passion?s sake.
So here we are with the 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500. I can only ass...
