2007 Ford Shelby GT500 Coupe

Vehicle Summary: 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 Coupe

Legendary racer and tuner Carroll Shelby again lends his name and expertise to the Ford Mustang, with the new-for-2007 Ford Shelby GT500. This raging coupe packs a 500-hp 5.4-liter V8 under its bulging hood. A heavy-duty, six-speed manual gearbox is the only transmission offered. The standard Mustang's brakes and suspension have been modified to handle the extra power, and assorted exterior and interior additions differentiate it from the rest of the Mustang line. Amenities are limited, but all that muscle is available for a relatively affordable sticker price.
