Some new info/pics: 2013 GT500 Reveal and Q&A with Jamal Hameedi & Jim Owens - Team Shelby

Quote:

The engine was just recently certified at 662 hp and 630 ft lbs of torque, 16 mpg city, 24 hwy, no gas guzzler tax, 0-60 in first gear! Cooling this beast was a challenge and the final production car has no grill. There are even pressure activated trap doors on the fan shroud to increase cooling when needed!

I am impressed/surprised!

If I were not going after land/house, I would be totally butthurt about buying a 370Z instead of trading my Z06 for one of these. Then again, it's no better than my Z06, just different, but kudos to Ford for making it perform like a Z06!

The cool thing is that it's like 1/2 a 370Z cheaper than a Z06! :D

Sir, can I interest you in some high quality confidence? Our confidence has been lab tested to nearly red__zed levels and should fulfill any desire you may have for more horsepower. We use only the finest quality unicorn blood and lemonade in our product.

An excellent point! If I just believe in my Z, I bet it could have this much horsepower!
