Vehicle Summary: 2008 Ford Shelby GT500 Coupe
Legendary racer and tuner Carroll Shelby lends his name and expertise to the Ford Shelby GT500 version of the iconic Mustang. This raging coupe packs a 500-horsepower 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. Limited amenities ensure that all that muscle is available for a relatively affordable sticker price.
