Is it me, or does 410 hp sound kind of low, coming from a
5.4 litre with a blower? It could be that they are downplaying the performance figures, but why do that today, the insurers already nail cars like this? My Mach-1 with it's smaller engine and no blower is probably and arguably rated at around 330-340hp, around 300 at the rear wheels so I find it hard to believe the Shelby is only 410. Apart from that, the car looks superb, but the $70-$80k U.S. price tag seems a little high.-Rich
Rich,
Horsepower numbers are like badges, they don't mean a thing. It's all about the performance, and that Shelby is going to perform! It will be able suck up your Mach 1 and spit it out.
As for the price, it's listed at $39,999.

I'm holding the May edition of Motortrend in my hands, and it does NOT say that the Shelby GT500 will cost $80K. It says the following:
"Best guess? 40-45 grand.
It also says "I can tell you the GT 500 is going to have at least
450(horses)."-Andrew
Thanks Andrew.
That means I can still keep my fingers crossed.
