Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Mk V

The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Mk V reaches 60 mph in 3.85 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.83 s, tripping the lights at 124.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.95 s and the eighth mile in 7.78 s, reaching 100 mph in 8.34 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Mustang Shelby GT500 Mk V

The 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Mk V is a rear-drive turbocharged muscle car of 1,750 kg with 662 bhp, which works out at 379 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 379 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.95 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 701st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 3rd quickest of the 109 Fords here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 124.8 mph, the 355th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Mk V is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
