 Let’s get right to the numbers, shall we: 650, 600, and 200. The 2013 Ford  Shelby GT500 produces 650 hp and 600 lb-ft of torque from its supercharged  5.8-liter V-8, and can  reportedly top out at more than 200 mph. Yes, we said 200 mph. With the GT500,  Ford has put the Bow Tie boys on notice — the Blue Oval is gunning for the  580-hp Camaro ZL1, so they’d better duck and cover !!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The GT500 also gets exterior changes that carry over to the rest of the 2013  Mustang lineup. All 2013 Mustangs now get standard HID halo headlights with two  LED bars, lending the Mustang a more aggressive, modern look. The LED treatment  continues around back, where all Mustangs get new taillights. The Mustang’s  triple taillights gain a smoked appearance and circular LEDs that surround the  newly concave design.

 

 
Speaking of that new 4.2-inch screen, Track Apps are now available on the 2013  Mustang. Similar to the F-150′s Truck Apps,  the Mustang’s Track Apps allow drivers to monitor performance metrics that  they’d otherwise need specialized equipment for. An on-board accelerometer  allows Track apps to measure the car’s g force as it pulls from left to right  while turning, or fore and aft while accelerating and braking. Track apps can  also measure 0-30 mph, 0-60 mph, and 0-100 mph times, and for drag racers,  eighth-mile and quarter-mile times. All five of those metrics can be initiated  with a virtual drag racing start light, so Mustang drivers can hone their skills  off the track. There’s also a Brake Performance screen, where 60-0 mph and 100-0  mph stopping distances can be measured.

BE CAREFUL DONT GET BITTEN!!
