Default The 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Will Make 760 HP

Borderline ridiculous video. They will be and always have been two very different cars.

Besides, he is comparing the new Shelby to. a Ghost. The C8 is only numbers and picture so far.

We need the real auto press to be able to drive the new C8 before any REAL comparisons can be made to any car.

It’s like comparing a pair of speakers to a newly announced pair of speakers that we only have specs and pictures of. Useless speculation.

Look I know they don’t make it anymore - but
Dodge Demon
840 horsepower; 770 lb-ft

And apparently there is something called the “Red Eye” that now has the same engine in it.

So a wealth of pulse pounding acceleration available that can only be realistically used on a track.
