New 500 Belts Out 662
Not a surprise with Ford anymore, but the 2013 GT500 was a little
unrated. Read on... ---- You might recall that a few scant minutes ago, Ford had declined to confirm that the 2013 Shelby GT500 was certified by the SAE to crank out no less than 662 horsepower and 630 lb-ft of torque. In light of the leak, they've reversed their decision and have decided to officially confirm the number. The rumors, apparently, were off by one foot-pound of torque. Officially, according to the Society of Automotive Engineers and the Ford Motor Company, the 2013 GT500 makes 662 hp and 631 lb-ft. Which is one louder, innit? What's more, there's 395 lb-ft available at 1,000 RPM, and according to Ford, over 90% of peak torque is available from 2,200 to 5,800. Tires, thy name is haze. Perhaps the most startling factoid, though, is that at 15 mpg city/24 highway and 18 combined, the stonkingest factory Mustang that ever was actually avoids the gas guzzler tax. --- Patrick |
