2013 GT500 662 HORSEPOWER AND 630 POUNDS OF TORQUE !!!
« on: April 26, 2012, 11:23 AM »
I know there are a few RPM Shelby GT500 owners that are also on Team Shelby, and this is amazing news for those that do not already know. Chief Engineer Jamaal Hameedi said that the official numbers would be 662 horsepower and 630 lb ft of torque.


Here are a few choice quotes from the article and the rest is after the jump below the picture.


Quote from: TEAMSHELBY
Jamal Hameedi / Chief Engineer of SVT and Jim Owens / VP of Marketing for Shelby and Boss were both in attendance.


Quote from: TEAMSHELBY
The engine was just recently certified at 662 hp and 630 ft lbs of torque, 16 mpg city, 24 hwy, no gas guzzler tax, 0-60 in first gear!

I want a car so violent that the mere thought of full throttle would cause a heart attack. That actually going wide open throttle in would result in nothing less than instant death!

Those sure are impressive numbers!  I really want the Top Gear UK guys to get ahold of one to put through its paces, but that probably won't happen until 2014-15 when the Mustang goes global, sadly.

660 Horses and 16 mpg? Now I'd say that's pretty good!

Bossman did ask if we could buy one as an RPM project car, I am wondering if we should.....

I think it would be acceptable to sell the creamsicle and buy the new Shelby!

There are quite a few cars that do 0-60 in 1st gear and the experience has to truly be felt to be experienced!
