the 011 GT500 is 550 hp now.. With the bolt on Ford racing power parts(installed by a dealer) 750 hp kit(new blower and fuel pump and tune) its a 680 HP rear wheel car.. Nothing short of amazing. Remember its a 331 cube motor

I also was a GM guy my entire life until 2006 when i picked up my 2007 GT 500 Shelby. Don't forget that its been 3 straight years that the GT500 was the king of the Muscle Pony cars from 2007 to 2010. (i will not include a corvette as a muscle car as it is a sports car, Is a GT 40 a muscle car?)
Sure GM may come out with a Z28 with 550 H/P but it may be a little late come 2011 as Ford just keeps raising the bar.
In 2011 the GT 500 will now come with an Aluminum block and bigger super charger with just as much H/P or more.
Let the Muscle car wars begin !!
Hoestly i am glad i bought my FORD 2007 Shelby GT 500 when i did as i have driven the other 2 Pony cars i still to this day would not have bought a new Camaro or Challenger as i still think the GT 500 Shelby is the best Muscle Pony car out there.
Just my 2 cents. </div></div>
