So in the last post Eleanor, I promised my readers a future blog on the newer Shelby mustangs and I am finally getting around to it. This car will be a classic 50 years from now I can promise you that. It just blows my mind how they can make a car so great, yet so affordable and soon you will also feel the same way as me. This car was of course inspired by the earlier 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, but it has its own taste to it. In the new age of vehicles bigger is BETTER. So the designers broadened up the stance of the 08’ Shelby and bulked up just about everything else to create the new age of muscle.
The Shelby is different from other Mustang. It is the baddest and best they have, Shelbys aren’t just any mustang they are the mustang. For starters, they are the only Mustangs to feature a supercharged engine. The wheels are equipped with 14 inch rotors in the front and 12 inch discs in that total basically an immediate stop anywhere on the track (rotors and disc). The rims are custom 10 spoke with the SVT symbol in the center that add a nice touch to the muscle feel of the car.
Okay so here is the nitty gritty on the 2008 Shelby GT500. The 5.4 liter V-8 pours out over 500 horsepower. It comes with a 6 speed manual transmission. It also comes with a fully custom exhaust system and the patient Shelby paint scheme. And the best part is the new Eleanor tops out around 150 miles per hour.
Okay, I know what you’re thinking now. With a throe bred this good the price has to be around one hundred thousand dollars. I am actually proud to say that this car that is 500 HP is only $46,500. That is a complete steal cars this nice and fast are not $46,500 dollars. So this is why this is THE affordable car that can blow your socks off. It’s a sure win with any buyer so when you get out of college I would highly recommend putting the Shelby GT500 on your list.
