[QUOTE="cam346, post: 16224311, member: 56973"] Ford famously claimed that the 2013 Shelby GT500 was good for 200 mph in a straight line. That car had 662 supercharged horsepower, so you might think that the 2020 GT500, with its 700-plus hp could go even faster, but that won't be the case. Our colleagues at [i][URL='https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a26802817/ford-mustang-shelby-gt500-top-speed/']Car and Driver[/URL][/i][URL='https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a26802817/ford-mustang-shelby-gt500-top-speed/'] report[/URL] that Ford has decided to limit the new GT500 to 180 mph. Why? Well, it costs a lot to engineer a car to do 200 mph, and Ford thought it'd be wiser to engineer a new dual-clutch transmission and develop a high-downforce aero package for the car. Ford Performance wants the new GT500 to dominate at the drag strip and on a road course, and for that, exceeding 180 mph apparently isn't necessary. [/QUOTE]
