The 2013 Mustang raises the bar yet again with an even more impressive lineup of engines. There's the Shelby GT500™ with the most powerfuel production V8 engine in the world – the 650-hp 5.8L supercharged V8 capable of more than 200 miles per hour on the track. The Hi-Po 302 Boss® 302 delivers 444 horsepower** and 380 lb.-ft. of torque. There's the first-ever 305 horsepower, 31 highway mpg* V6 and the 5.0L V8 that pumps out a smoking 420 horsepower** and 390 lb.-ft. of torque. And all engines are mated to six-speed transmissions. For the crowning touch, you can equip your GT500 with the Performance Package, featuring Bilstein electronic adjustable dampers you access on the dash. Simply push a button to go from normal mode to the performance-oriented sport mode.
This is insane. Truly. Just a few years ago, it would have been unthinkable. Now it's not just real, it's available from your local Ford dealer, with a warranty. For about sixty grand. It's a 200-mph Shelby Mustang with 662 horsepower.
It's an American supercar for the 99 percent.
It's also, as you'd expect, fun. At its heart, it's still very much a 2013 Ford Mustang, with all of the incremental improvements and tweaks that have been made over the car's model run, plus a whole host of changes to the chassis, suspension, and, front and center, the engine.
The 2013 Shelby GT500's 5.8-liter supercharged V-8 runs at about 14 psi from the 2.3-liter Eaton TVS twin-screw unit, generating that massive 662 horsepower figure along with 631 pound-feet of torque. But that's not the whole story. The large displacement V-8 and supercharger mean there's so much torque available at any given RPM, there's rarely less than 500 horsepower on tap.
Not that you'd necessarily know it from the way it drives around town. This is easily the most docile 600-plus-horsepower car around. A relatively light clutch (pedal effort is about 30 pounds), tall gears, and smooth power delivery make it as easy to cruise from stoplight to stoplight as it is to rocket off toward the horizon. The Bilstein selectable ride suspension offers normal and sport mode settings, and the difference is instantly noticeable. You'll want the normal setting on the street unless you like punishment, but on the track, the sport mode is shockingly capable.
It's so easy, so drama-free, and so simple to drive in part because of the advanced stability control--which will still let you play a bit in its half-off mode--and driver-tunable launch control, which enable even relatively inexperienced drivers to get off the line and around a corner or twelve with minimal issue, and to do it quite briskly.
