Top Speed = 202 mph

The 2013 Shelby GT500 actually has a top speed of 202 MPH

Yes I am aware of that, I forgot about that.
I understand y'alls points and my view is different. I just feel the GT500 is not worth the 'value' but hopefully the rumors I have heard are true and Ford begins or has already development of a modern GT40. :tup:

Value is relative so I won't argue with that.

Yep, I still want to drive a Boss 302 but no one I know has bought one yet. :shakes head:
Why won't people buy cars so I can drive them...what is wrong with my friends? :stirthepot:

Some numbers from it's competitor the ZL1.

0-60 = 3.9 s
1/4 mile = 12.0 s
Top Speed = 184 mph
Price = $54,995

2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1: 0-60 in 3.9 secs for $54,995 - WOT on Motor Trend

What are the new GT500 numbers?

No details yet aside from power and top speed.

Lame, I am curious how it is going to hook up.
I wonder if Ford will engineer a new feature for the Mustang/GT500 which is basically launch control which can break it into the sub 3 second 0-60 time, now that would be crazy.

It has launch control.

I don't think sub 3 seconds is possible with RWD on street tires, though.

Really? Yep, 2013 has it, guess I missed that in the article.
So, will we see a sub 3 second time now? Huh...huh....:p

m4a1mustang 11-16-2011 11:41 AM
I think it could be in the mid-high 3s. Traction is still going to be really limited.

The good news is 1st gear will now run through 60 mph, which should help a lot with the 0-60 time.

While my older brother was in highschool he had a friend who's father founded a local fast food chain and owned an exotic use car lot. His dad would let him take some of the cars out on "test drives". One day my brother and his friend showed up at the house in a ferrari 308.

It would be pretty tough. Depends what tires they go with though

For reference the Corvette ZR1 is rated to 3.3. I would expect the GT500 to be a little bit off of that time.
