lacks handling, but muscle cars are not made for handling and speed its more for power. the almost 6 litre supercharged ford GT engine supplies 500bhp to the drive system! its great fun to drive but fuel at 12mpg and just being what it is does not make it a practical car. would definately recommend for hiring for a day or two to enjoy driving with power but handling is not too good.

Pros — power, power, power, looks, performance, fun
Cons — impractical, 12mpg, handling

Reviewing: 2008 Ford Shelby GT500 KR

In 1967, the New York auto show played host to the launch of the original GT500KR, a version of the Shelby Mustang powered by a 428-cubic-inch Cobra Jet V-8 rated at 335 horsepower. With the '08 model's supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 underhood wearing a Ford Racing Power Upgrade Pack (revised ignition timing and throttle calibration, plus a cold-air intake), the 2008 KR outdoes its predecessor by 205 horsepower—a margin greater than the entire output of some V-8 Mustangs of the 1980s—with 540. That herd travels rearward through a six-speed manual with a short-throw shifter to a shorter 3.73:1 rear end (stock is 3.31:1) for quicker giddyap, while snorts and whinnies get an extra edge from a revised exhaust system.

Pros — Every single piece.
Cons — None.
