Ford Mustang Shelby GT500
Do you want badass? You've got badass! Take a walk around this Dearborn monster and try and hold back a smile or smirk. Impossible. It's like trying to eat just one Lays. If you're lucky enough to hold the keys and fire it up, you will be hooked worse than any drug addiction. The only way to find some solace is to discover what this supercharged 5.4L V8 can do at wide-open-throttle. Belting out 550 hp, this car will knock your socks, pants and shirt off!

This is not a refined automobile. This is an angry crude car that, when compared to the other three, gives off an aura of a rabies-stricken bull bent on crushing everything in its wake. Seriously, although far more impressive than the 2010 car, the 2011 is still soft and only lightly focused on serious track applications. Mind you, this is when compared to these other cars that cost more than twice as much. On its own, the GT500 is a phenomenally rewarding piece.

The Stang's passenger quarters are well thought out with fine materials and good craftsmanship. This latest super Mustang won't punish its occupants nor require them to pull mega-pretzel-yoga moves to get in and out of. With enough space for four, say two adults and two kids, this could be the ultimate bargain super family car!
