Shelby GT500 (1967)

The Shelby GT500 (1967) reaches 60 mph in 5.53 s (100 km/h in 6.26 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.21 s, tripping the lights at 101.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.36 s and the eighth mile in 9.28 s, reaching 100 mph in 13.76 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 GT500

The 1967 Shelby GT500 (1967) is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,532 kg with 355 bhp, which works out at 232 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 232 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.36 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,698th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 10th quickest of the 11 Shelbys here. Its 101.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Shelby GT500 (1967) 0-60 time?
The Shelby GT500 (1967) reaches 60 mph in 5.53 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,698th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Shelby GT500 (1967) quarter mile time?
14.21 s at 101.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.28 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.36 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Shelby GT500 (1967) have?
355 bhp and 1,532 kg, which is 232 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 212 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Shelby GT500 (1967)?
Closest here on pace: Marcos Mantula (193 PS) (5.49 s), Morgan Plus 8 4.6 MK I (5.66 s), Plymouth Prowler facelift (5.58 s). Each one can be raced against the Shelby GT500 (1967) in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
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 Shelby GT500 (1967) is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
