A 202 MPH Mustang?!So this has been a big year for the Ford Mustang.  New engines for 2012 mean the entry-level V6 makes over 300 horsepower and the V8 GT clears 400 horsepower.  The Boss 302 laps racetracks faster the the iconic BMW M3.  And now we have news that the upcoming Shelby GT500 will make 650 hp, 600 ft-lb of torque, and hit a confirmed 202 mile-per-hour top speed.
For those of you still thinking that the late 60’s were the golden age of the muscle car, it’s time to wake up and smell the smoking rubber. Hot damn!
