2007 Ford Shelby GT 500 - The New King Of The Road

Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords has published their review of the new 2007 Ford Shelby GT 500.

We've spent considerable seat time in the first Mustang to be branded a Shelby since 1970. We've flogged it on the infield road course at California Speedway in Fontana, on some challenging twisty roads outside of Berkley, California, then finally, two weeks later, in Michigan at Milan Dragway. Everything about it is worlds better than the current Mustang GT, from the seats and interior, to the appearance and the powertrain, to the tires and the handling.

Will the Shelby GT500 have what it takes to whip up on the onslaught of muscle that Chevy and Dodge are cooking up? That's the hot topic around Dearborn today with the launch of the production 2007 Shelby GT500 just months away. And even though they are only concepts, Ford is taking the threat of the Camaro and Challenger seriously.

There has been a lot of discussion and hype about the supposed death of Ford's SVT group. To the contrary though, Ford recently pledged to keep their 10+ year history of building affordable and exciting performance vehicles alive (ARTICLE); although, in a two vehicle only format.
