In the world of muscle cars, few names elicit more of a visceral reaction than the name Shelby. After taking several decades off, Ford's SVT performance division decided to revive the venerable Shelby name. Spanning just three years, this 2008 Ford Mustang GT500 represents the second generation of this iconic nameplate. Whether it is the functional hood scoops, subtle front lip spoiler, or its full Vista Blue Metallic repaint, this follow-up to the Mustang Cobra does not disappoint. And with just 55,421 miles on its odometer, this Pony Car will continue to provide miles of smiles for a long time to come.
Inside, we find a great-looking black leather interior. A center console separates a pair of supportive bucket seats, while a six-pod gauge cluster features a 160-mph speedometer and 7,000-rpm tachometer, short-throw shifter, power windows, mirrors, locks, and seats. An AM/FM/AUX/CD head unit provides almost as much excitement as serialized and signed Shelby dash plaque commemorating this car's rare existence.
Under that expansive vented hood is where this car earns its Shelby namesake. A hand-built, supercharged 5.4-liter DOHC V-8 engine produced an impressive 500 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 480 pound-feet of torque at 4,500 rpm. This particular car also features a cold air intake, which undoubtedly adds a few more ponies to the stable. That ginormous power is then funneled through a Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual transmission before heading out to the limited-slip rear end. From there, a set of 18-inch ten-spoke Race Star wheels shod in Nitto NT555 tires measuring 295/45R-18 in the rear, while narrower 255/45R-18 units handle steering duties up front.
