Being a mustang owner myself, it hurts to say this. But after reading Car&Driver and Road&Track this new Shelby looks like a total crap. 500hp! So what? If it can't beat a entry level corvette, this mustang is just a poser.
So you guys will say this mustang is a heavy pig, right? But that's no excuse for the slo-mo performance. Look at the BMW M6: heavier than mustang, same HP, but the performance is day and night difference Ok, mustangs got no traction...But how come the heavier bimmer leaves 1/4 mile 9 mph faster?
Ok, this mustang is still a pre-roduction, blah, blah. Either way, it will never get close to 121 mph. Yes, I know the BMW costs more than twice. But most of that money goes for refinement and luxury, not for a drag race.
Something terribly wrong here: either M6 underrated or our beloved pony overrated.
Sad but true.
