In the world of muscle cars, few names elicit more of a visceral
reaction than the name Shelby. After taking several decades off,
Ford's SVT performance division decided to revive the venerable
Shelby name. Spanning just three years, this 2008 Ford Mustang
GT500 represents the second generation of this iconic nameplate.
Whether it is the functional hood scoops, subtle front lip spoiler,
or its full Vista Blue Metallic repaint, this follow-up to the
Mustang Cobra does not disappoint. And with just 55,421 miles on
its odometer, this Pony Car will continue to provide miles of
smiles for a long time to come.
Inside, we find a great-looking black leather interior. A center
console separates a pair of supportive bucket seats, while a
six-pod gauge cluster features a 160-mph speedometer and 7,000-rpm
tachometer, short-throw shifter, power windows, mirrors, locks, and
seats. An AM/FM/AUX/CD head unit provides almost as much excitement
as serialized and signed Shelby dash plaque commemorating this
car's rare existence.
Under that expansive vented hood is where this car earns its Shelby
namesake. A hand-built, supercharged 5.4-liter DOHC V-8 engine
produced an impressive 500 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 480
pound-feet of torque at 4,500 rpm. This particular car also
features a cold air intake, which undoubtedly adds a few more
ponies to the stable. That ginormous power is then funneled through
a Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual transmission before heading out
to the limited-slip rear end. From there, a set of 18-inch
ten-spoke Race Star wheels shod in Nitto NT555 tires measuring
295/45R-18 in the rear, while narrower 255/45R-18 units handle
steering duties up front.

With just 3,004 coupes produced in its second year, this 2009 Ford
Mustang Shelby GT500 is a rare ride indeed. Riding on a MacPherson
strut front and live axle rear suspension, this Shelby was
outfitted with four-wheel disc brakes with Brembo front calipers to
rein in those 500 ponies under the hood whenever necessary. If
