The 2012 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 injects blood-pumping performance and retro styling into a package that is suited for every day driving. In other words, the new GT500 is the top dog when it comes to modern muscle cars. It’s quicker than a Camaro, more practical than a Corvette, and more powerful than the Challenger – it’s the 2012 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 and it’s available at Mike Davidson Ford, the premier Jacksonville Ford dealership. Here is a look at how the 2012 Shelby GT500 stacks up against the competition:
Beneath the Hood
The rear-wheel drive 2012 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is powered by a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 that produces 550 horsepower. By comparison, the 2012 Chevy Corvette produces 430 horses while the new BMW M3 produces just 414. The 2012 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is more powerful and less expensive than most of the vehicles in its class. What can 550 horsepower do? The GT500 does 0-60 only 4.4 seconds on its way to a quarter-mile time of 12.4.
On the Track
Although the 2012 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is not quite as fast as the Nissan GT-R or the Audi R8, it is remarkable how close the numbers are considering how much heavier (and less expensive) the Mustang is. In a test by Motor Trend, for instance, the new GT500 registered a figure eight time of 24 seconds—just 7 hundredthsof second behind Nissan’s supercar, the GT-R.
The Bottom Line
The 2012 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 proves that world-class power and performance can be attained without stratospheric prices. Thanks to its aggressive styling, finely tuned engine, and superior performance, the new GT500 will no doubt be a highlight in the lives of those lucky enough to own one.
