One quick glimpse of the GT500, and you can almost hear the thunderous bark of the dual exhaust and smell the scent of burnt rubber in the air. And if you’ve got a chance to pour over this thoroughbred for more than a minute, be prepared to lose yourself in dreams of hair-raising turns, smoky burnouts, and triple-digit runs down your local highway. Just don’t forget that little Johnny Lawman is out there dreaming of catching you.

The previous, non-supercharged Ford SVT Mustang Cobra R reportedly reached 60 mph in about 4.5 seconds and 100 mph in about 11 seconds – look for the 2006 Ford Mustang Shelby Cobra GT500 and its 450 horsepower and 450 lb.-ft. of torque to improve on those numbers.
