Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas directs your viewing attention to
this menacing 2008 Ford Shelby GT500, a masterpiece of American
muscle and engineering prowess. This stunning vehicle boasts a
sleek Vapor Metallic exterior, accented with a pair of broad Black
stripes that run from front to back. It's a great color scheme
that's attention-getting without being over the top, as this
definitely isn't a car that needs help attracting attention.
Shelby's iconic design features complement its aggressive stance
and bold presence. The mere mention of the Shelby name conjures up
images of smoking rubber and exhilarating acceleration and this
2008 delivers on that expectation. Lurking beneath its striped hood
is a 5.4 liter supercharged V8 that's good for 500 horsepower and
480 pound-feet of torque. The engine is mated to a 6-speed TR-6060
transmission that's ideally geared to take full advantage of its
performance and yet still offers a civilized driving experience in
a variety of conditions. When Motor Trend tested the 2008 Mustang
Shelby GT5000 upon its release, it clocked a 4.3 0-60 time and yet
its .63 sixth gear ratio brings nice, low revs on the highway.
Aftermarket trailing arms - that's the well-chosen add-on we
mentioned earlier - makes for a bind-free suspension that delivers
more predictable handling. That's not to say that this '08 needed
help in that regard - during that same Motor Trend test, it logged
a very strong .89g on the skid-pad. Sizable anti-lock Brembo power
disc brakes at all four corners bring rapid stops when needed. This
Shelby rides on a set of 18" wheels outfitted with P255/45ZR18
tires in front and stout 275s in back for a nice, strong grip on
the asphalt.The 2008 Ford Shelby GT500 is not just about raw power;
it comes equipped with a host of features designed for both
convenience and safety. Step inside and you are greeted by a
refined black interior, fine crafted to provide support and style.
Enjoy the comfort of air conditioning while cruising to your
favorite tunes on the AM/FM radio. Safety is paramount with
anti-lock brakes, driver and passenger airbags, traction control,
and seatbelts. Performance tires ensure optimal grip and handling,
while power brakes and power steering provide precise control and
responsiveness. For added convenience, this GT500 includes power
locks, power seats, and power windows, allowing for effortless
adjustments and ease of use. The history of the Shelby Mustang
GT500 adds to its allure. Originally introduced in 1967, the GT500
was a product of the legendary collaboration between Carroll Shelby
and Ford. Known for its high performance and racing pedigree, the
GT500 quickly became a symbol of American muscle car
excellence.Overall, the Shelby GT500 is a remarkable vehicle that
combines historical significance with modern performance and
features. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Shelby
Mustang and a must-have for any automotive enthusiast.This 2008
