Ford will unveil its 2013 Shelby GT500 Convertible in the Windy City next week at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show. The Shelby GT500 is shaping up to become one hell of a sports car and its convertible variant just might be the ultimate, top-down cruiser.
Powered by a potent 5.8-liter supercharged V8 engine, the GT500 packs 650 hp and 600 lb-ft of torque, making all Mustang fanatics worldwide salivate in joy. Despite Chicago hardly being the optimal city to imagine driving with the top down – especially in February where the weather is freezing – Ford seems to enjoy unveiling performance models at the Windy City. 20 years ago, the American automaker revealed the 1993 SVT Mustang Cobra at the Chicago Auto Show which ultimately became known as the GT500′s forerunner.

I live close enough to spend two days at the recent Detroit International Auto Show, and have to admit it is a slice of heaven on earth. The Ford exhibit alone must have cost several million dollars. It included a Shelby GT500 on a Dynojet that they run every hour on the hour! But... to live in Naples and enjoy my Vert year-round, I might be willing to sacrifice my proximity to the show!

Did they give any rides in it? They did in the boss, but only like three people per demo but still I thought was cool. BTW I asume it was the new 13 500 right?
