2015 Shelby GT500

  Parts found on Ford’s website for the 2015 Mustang hint at there being a 2015 Shelby GT500; could this be true? The rampant speculation surrounding the S550 Mustang chassis has been working overtime for the SVT/Shelby options. We know we are getting a Shelby GT350 and have already seen the badging for it, but could we be getting a Shelby GT500 as well? There have been numerous reports from a variety of anonymous insiders saying that the Condor Engine (Shelby motor) assembly line has been shut down/dismantled. This has lead to mass reporting that there will be no more Shelby GT500, or at least for the 2015/2016 model year. However, the fact that the Condor Engine Line is gone does not mean we might not see a GT500. There are a few other options laying on the table that would all make great options for a 2015 Shelby GT500. As you're surely aware by now, the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 boasts a 5.8-liter beast of an engine making 662 horsepower, partnered in crime by 631 pound-feet of torque. There seems little to gain in rehashing what we already know – namely, that the 2013 GT500 is fast. Is there any doubt that it'll be earth-shatteringly fast. Ignorantly fast, even. This much is a given. This Mustang will gallop to two 202 miles per hour in fact, which is pure insanity. There's an argument to be made that the best-looking Mustang is the simplest Mustang. It takes a staggering 150 horsepower just to spin 14 PSI out of the 2.3-liter Eaton supercharger, which is a real drag, but with an end result of 662 horses at 6,500 RPM and 631 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 RPM, with that said there really is no reason to complain.
