It is a wonder this engine was even approved for production. That it's available in a street car is marvelous. Contrast this with the blown GT Predator. It makes much more torque lb-ft at an even higher 5, rpm, but it doesn't feel like that. Despite the supercharger, the power delivery and the shove in the small of your back is very linear with no discernible peaks or valleys. It just pulls everywhere in the rev range and doesn't nose over, and because of this, it's too easy to run up against the rev limiter.
And it is explosively powerful. I don't know how, but it just does. If I had to choose a winning engine between these two, I'd go with the GT's. I was conditioned to dislike supercharged V-8s see Dodge because they're sometimes hard to modulate and predict, but this lump is different. It can be docile and fade into the background, or it can erupt like Vesuvius—driver's choice. Plus it puts down power like an all-wheel-drive car. It's addictive.
I know it wouldn't fit, but I want to put one in the Ford GT to make that car really sing. There's nothing like a well-sorted manual transmission to connect the driver to a car, to make the car "need" its driver. The clutch uptake is intuitive, it doesn't mind being hurried on a dragstrip, and there's something immensely satisfying about nailing a matched-rev downshift while operating all three pedals simultaneously.
This is clearly the purist's choice, and it would be a good one. The new Tremec TR seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual mandated in the GT is in a different category, really. It could have gone terribly wrong, but this is world-class stuff here.
Clever programming and mapping change its behavior in the various drive modes, and we put it in a close second or third place to the benchmark Porsche PDK or McLaren "seamless shift" dual-clutch unit. Driven on the street, it effectively hides shifts and feels like an automatic. In Track mode, it cracks seamless millisecond upshifts. In braking zones, it blips the throttle and smoothly downshifts, never upsetting the chassis.
These new tires give the car better acceleration, handling, and improved braking. But they didn't stop there. They added a new rear spoiler to further improve the car's aerodynamics. The sports car was also given a brand new grille which was designed to restrict the air going into the engine bay and therefore reducing it's drag coefficient.
The Shelby Mustang GT is a car built for the purists, people that truly love driving a good car. Behind the wheel, you need to always be focused while driving it but that just adds to the excitement of owning one of these incredible cars.
If you're gonna buy a new Mustang buy the GT The GT may have the upper hand in terms of raw power and quicker quarter-mile times but the differences between the two do not justify their difference in price. The GT is a car you show off to your friends and the GT is a car you drive. If you really want to own a Shelby Mustang just get the track oriented one!
Let's be honest, no one likes spending a fortune at the gas station regardless of what your bank account says. So any car that doesn't blow a hole through your pocket or bank account when its time to fill it up is a bonus.
The Shelby Mustang GT has a fuel economy of 12 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway. In comparison, the GT has a fuel economy of 12 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway.
