Milestones In Horsepower: 20 History-Making Ford Mustangs

18. 2013 Shelby GT500

The swan song of the SVT supercharged Mustangs is the 2013 Shelby GT500. This glorious muscle car had a 5.8-liter supercharged V8 that pumped 662 HP and 631 lb-ft of torque. At the moment, this was the most powerful American-made V8 and it was a proper beast of an engine. Installed in RWD, live axle platform it was a tire smoke generator.

But besides its burnout and show potential, it was also a serious performance machine. The 0 to 60 mph sprint took only 3.5 seconds and the $50,000 Mustang could embarrass a $250,000 Ferrari at the stoplight drag race. Buyers loved this overpowered Mustang, so despite being discontinued, it still is the king of the hill among Mustang fans.
