Just kidding...would have been nice to see them break 200 but looks like it is legit anyway.

Bad azz car though. I love the color combo.

Great Video. I knew this is the Shelby to have but, did not know it was that much of an improvement over past Shelbys. Very honored to be able to get one even at Canadian prices. Thank you Ford and Mr. Shelby.

The sound in that video is the best sound I've heard coming from these cars. Unbelievable.

Me too!! We are truly living in a Golden Age of Mustang Badass-ness!

The only off part was the 583 RWHP. I thought 5.0 Mustang Mag got 609.

So many variables in play, you could get different readings on the same dyno at different times of the day just like the runs in the video.

That's just the difference between measuring HP at rear wheels vs measuring at the flywheel. The difference being caused by losses thru the drivetrain.

Awesome video. They needed to pick a better place for the 200 run. The altitude and temp prevented the magic number achievement. Randy's on board though stating that this is the real deal. I cannot imagine what'll be possible when the speed shops start tuning this monster up. I'd have to think 750 at the fly isn't too distant.

Yeah I know, but 5.0 Mag got 609 RWHP, and MT got 583 RWHP.

The Flywheel HP on the 5.0 Mag is somewhere 705-712 and MT got 662 HP...
