The swan song of SVT supercharged Mustangs was the 2013 Shelby GT 500. This glorious muscle car had a 5.8-liter supercharged V8, which pumped 662 hp and 631 lb.-ft of torque. At the moment, this was the most potent American-made V8 engine and a proper beast of an engine. Installed in RWD, a live axle platform, it was known as a tire smoke generator, but besides its burnout and show potential, it was also a very serious performance machine (via Motor Trend).

The 0 to 60 mph sprint took only 3.5 seconds and the $50,000 Mustang could embarrass a $250,000 Ferrari at the stop light drag race. Buyers loved this overpowered Mustang, and despite it is old model, it’s still the king of the hill among Mustang fans.
