The horsepower race has gone nuclear: 2013 GT500

New GT500 looks sick, I'm 90% sure I'm going to be ordering a 2013 Mustang GT this spring. Going to do Recaro / Brembo / Track Package! Ford has really come a long way in the last few years.

Why style for 420 HP when you can get 650 HP and 200 mph?

Because you can get the GT for ~$35,000 very well equipped vs. $80,000+ (with markup) for the GT500.

Just like the dealers asking $60k around here I can still find Internet pricing for less than MSRP. Yes there will be a mark up for the first 2013s on the showroom floor. But after a while when more show up at dealers they will come down in price. My only concern is how much of an increase will ford place on the MSRP.

If ford does raise the MSRP I will then look into a SC 5.0 off the lot.

Because 420 is still scare-your-face-off fast

The newest stones are always the shiniest. So the newer and the more talk we give the shelby, the less shine the 5.0 seems to have. I would be happy with both methinks. what is the final drive on the shelby anyway? isn't it like 3.1 or something really tall.

ok, why/how are we comparing these two cars? Since when do people sit there and decide between a $30k car and a $80k car? Hmmm, should I buy a 370Z or a GT-R? A 328 or an M3?

Doesn't happen really. The 5.0 and Shelby are both amazing cars for their price range.

I was just refering to the new kid in school syndrome. The 5.0 came out, amazed most. two years later the shelby comes out, amazes most. again. but one is newier and shinier than the other.

How much will a 5.0 with full boltons add in terms of rwhp?

Im assuming the 5 liter v8 responds better to NA mods than my ex-370.

Full exhaust, CAI, tune, and a Boss 302 manifold and you are at about 440-450 whp.

Just a CAI/Tune should get you to around 400-410.

It depends, but usually around 370 whp.

Don't know much about Stangs but from what I remember a pulley swap used to do wonders for the engine, does this still hold true?
