12. Shelby GT500

The swan song of the SVT supercharged Mustangs is the 2013 Shelby GT 500. This glorious muscle car has a 5.8-liter supercharged V8 that pumps out 662 HP and produces 631 lb-ft of torque. At the time Ford presented the GT500, it came with the most powerful American-made V8 engine. Ford installed it with RWD and a live axle platform, making it famous as a tire smoke generator. But besides its burnout and show potential, it was also a serious performance machine.
