2013 Mustang: world's most powerful V-8? - CSMonitor.com

The Detroit muscle car horsepower race escalated Tuesday when Ford Motor Co. announced that the 2013 Shelby GT500 Mustang will have a 650-horsepower V-8 engine.
The company will unveil the GT500 and a freshened version of the regular Mustang on Tuesday night at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Ford says the Shelby version will have the most powerful production V-8 engine in the world, with a top speed of over 200 mph.
The 5.8-liter engine is mated with a six-speed automatic transmission. Ford wouldn't release the gas mileage but said it would be good enough to avoid the U.S. tax on gas guzzlers.
The GT500 beats the most powerful model put out by rival General Motors Co. by 12 horsepower. The Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 is rated at 638 horsepower.
Ford also will unveil the freshened 2013 Mustang, which comes with more aggressive styling and new LED lighting to give it a high-tech look, the company said.

Old Mustangs > New Mustangs

If it has paddle-shifting then you need an auto box for that or it causes too much wear and has a slight lag.
They also keep saying that it has a 650 HP ENGINE so I'm thinking after factoring in weights & drivetrain loss you're looking at closer to 550 HP @ the wheels, if not less.

Hell yeah I'd take a 68 Fastback or any Mach over all of the newer mustangs anyday. But then again when it comes to AMM any older model is better

automatic transmission on mustang is like non alcoholic vodka :D
Re: 2013 Mustang - World's Most Powerful V-8?
650 horsepower is totally useless is modern society. Plus, all the mustang can do is go in a straight line, unless you like drifting. lol

I prefer the classic mustangs, I see a few of the classic ones around here in England still and hearing them engines makes me orgasm.
Re: 2013 Mustang - World's Most Powerful V-8?
isn't the Koenigsegg agera r the most powerful v8? i guess it has a twin turbo in it but its a v8 o.o and the shelby has a supercharger in it anyway looks nice I'd certainly buy this if I had the money :P: but I don't see this happening
