2019 Shelby GT is an Angrier Mustang GT
Slideshow: Shelby American is continuing their tradition of building super Mustangs with the addition of the 2019 Shelby GT and GT-H.
Shelby American is Going Strong
The fact that Ford itself offers customers ultra-high-performance Mustangs under the Shelby badge doesn't mean that the power-crazed engineers at Shelby American aren't still putting their own magic into Mustangs. In fact, their own lineup of awesome Shelby cars is probably more exciting than Ford's.
Performance Upgrades
The Shelby GT gets a 20-HP bump in power from the Mustang GT to take it from 460 HP to 480 thanks to its Borla exhaust system. The suspension is improved as well with stiffer springs and anti-roll bars. Plenty of performance options will be available as well, the most significant of which is the Supercharger that brings the power output to 700HP!

Visual Upgrades
And as with any Shelby product, the styling cues are apparent in the new Shelby GT. The major changes from the Mustang to the Shelby include the addition of the Shelby grille, Shelby stripes, a new rocker panel, a rear spoiler, and plenty of Shelby badging all around. The GT-H features a special gold stripe livery, as well.

A Special Kind of Mustang
While the starting price for the Mustang GT is at around $37K, all these Shelby-brand upgrades will bring up the price tag to $61,345. The GT-H will cost an additional $5,000 on top of that. If you ask me, given how special Shelby American cars are, these Shelby GTs are worth the price. If you're interested in ordering one of these, my tip would be to opt-in for the supercharger!
