Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 (Mk VI facelift) specs

This is one heavy car compared to a regular Mustang. What happened? It has carbon fiber parts, and I doubt a huge supercharger is very heavy. It might be the dual-clutch, of course.

Why every Ford Mustang has this stupid top speed limiter?
Safety reasons?
Or may be something else?

I don't understand Ford (or Shelby). They own the GT supercar and put a V6 in it. While putting 700 hp in a Mustang

Merged the Carbon Fiber Track Pack data into this page. With note.

Big Willow with Randy Pobst behind the wheel.
1:28.15 for GT500,
1:27.2 for ZL1 1LE,
1:32.59for Redeye hellcat.

Motor Trend magazine just did a test comparing this to the C8 Corvette with and without the carbon track pack, and the corvette on or not on performance tires.
Track: Virginia International Raceway
GT500 w/ Track Pack: 1:56.30
GT500 without Track Pack: 1:59.68

C8 Corvette w/ track suspension: 2:00.69

Motor Trend Magazine, March 2020 issue, article is “Wait, What?”

You can run 9.70's by making some minor modifications to the GT500...

Odd that both the 3.7 sec 0-60 and 1/4 mile times have already been beaten online. Several places rolled 3.5 sec 0-60 times and sub 11 sec 1/4 miles at 133/34 mph. Are these times produced by Ford? If so I bet it's without the carbon fiber track pack. While it only lowers the weight by a 150-ish lbs the carbon fiber wheels lessen the power needed to the wheels...

One of my fav cars out today. Think about it. You can get a Mustang with more power then a NASCAR and even an F1 car without the electric boost.

2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Laptime: 1 minute, 55.72 seconds vs
2019 Porsche 991.2 911 GT3 RS Laptime: 1 minute, 55.57 seconds at Chuckwalla with Randy Pobst driving. No mention of tyres used?

According to Ford, and confirmed by testers on a drag strip, 0-60 is in 3.3 seconds, and 1/4 mile is in 10.6. If you’re looking for instrumented tests, Car and Driver got 0-60 in 3.6 seconds, and 1/4 mile in 11.4 on a non-prepped surface.

Should we separate the standard GT500 and the GT500 with the track pack seems like there is a notable difference in performance.

Interesting the 2020 stock Mustang Gt500 just put down a 10.4 : 1/4 mile - interesting to see what it does on drag radials. Although Ford understate the power With 705 rwhp equates to over 800hp (825hp) more accurate.

The 2019 GT500 did a 1:59.68 for Standard pack and Carbon Fiber track pack did a n Viper ACR beating 1:56.30 and has almost reached the Corvette ZR1 territory at VIR Full course track, I am sure the new GT500 wont beat the Corvettes that much on slower tighter tracks, still those numbers are really good for a car that weighs a whopping 4200 lbs , some who have tracked the GT500 in streets of Willow-Willow Springs say the stock GT500 can do 1:25.xx-1:26 almost C7 Z06 levels of lap times without any modifications.

Looks like same gen car with yet another facelift. But that's not too bad - looks good.

All the money went into Match E.

Ford make a new GT with V6 Twin Turbo and a Shelby with a 5,2 liter V8 Supercharged. No sense...

Oh come on! It's an absolute beauty.

Do most people like the way this car looks? Am I in the minority for not liking it? I think it looks a little ridiculous and not in a good way. The gt350 is designed so much better imo. I just wish it came with an automatic :(

It's an awesome car, but it's useless now that the C8 Corvette's out. S*it.

Could you change the torque to 625lb-ft
