SHELBY'S ACTUAL RWHP?
 

Does anyone know what a stock Shelby gets for RWHP? I know they say 500, what is the more realistic number.
Thanks for your input.

I have read around 435rwhp. 500 is at the crank.

I have read as low as 425-450 RWHP depending on many factors! and yes 500 is from the crank!

depends on the atmospheric conditions and the dyno used but those numbers are in the ball park

Top Gear tested it and said 437RWHP

Have a friend thats dyno'ed a bunch of them and they're running 425-435

I just watched that Top Gear Video, and I thought he said 447 RWHP.

Yeah I saw that top gear episode.

The GT500 is a great car but I think, all things considered, it isoverpriced. I'm happy with my '08 GT and I'll be happier with my Steeda CAI and tune installed after this weekend.

In 3 years or so when I am ready for a new car I am thinking I will be looking at a Z51 vette since you can find one of those for around $45k new and I have a beater to drive during the snowy months anyways. The Z51 has a better 0 - 60 and 630hp stock.

If I wanted a GT500 I would be paying 5 - 10k over sticker so figure $47,500 + over sticker = $54,000ish a full $10k more then a vette? Unless pricing changes I know aht I will be buying next. Until then I'll enjoy my 2nd mustang.

Z51 vette only has 430 hp... the ZR1 has 630 and is $100k+

+1

I would have loved at GT 500 vert, even for sticker, but I just wont pay anything over sticker, on principal, especially in this market...
