Ford Mustang Shelby GT500
The first Mustang to wear the Shelby name in almost 40 years was the 2007 GT500. Conceived by the SVT department, the same folks who brought us Cobra R models with the help of Carroll Shelby as a consultant, the 2007 Shelby GT 500 was something else. It looked mean, had an aggressive design with multiple upgrades, and sounded terrifying thanks to the new 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine with 500 hp and 480 lb.-ft of torque (via Car and Driver).
It was the first production Mustang that broke the magic 500 hp barrier and the most powerful muscle car at the moment. With racing stripes on the hood, roof, and trunk, four exhaust pipes, and a scary rumble from the massive V8, the 2007 Shelby GT 500 would make Carroll Shelby proud. Of course, the performance was terrific as 0 to 60 mph took only 4.5 seconds. And it could have done better, but massive torque burned the rear tires if you pushed the pedal too hard.
