What is the Shelby GT500 (2010) 0-60 time?

The Shelby GT500 (2010) reaches 60 mph in 3.93 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,002nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Shelby GT500 (2010) quarter mile time?

12.36 s at 115.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.02 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.99 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Shelby GT500 (2010) have?

540 bhp and 1,767 kg, which is 306 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 307 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Shelby GT500 (2010)?

Closest here on pace: Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst S (3.89 s), Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG (3.92 s), Jaguar XJR575 5.0 V8 575 (3.93 s). Each one can be raced against the Shelby GT500 (2010) 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 (2010) is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 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.

Shelby GT500 (2010)

The Shelby GT500 (2010) reaches 60 mph in 3.93 s (100 km/h in 4.10 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.36 s, tripping the lights at 115.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.99 s and the eighth mile in 8.02 s, reaching 100 mph in 9.57 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 2010 Shelby GT500 (2010) is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,767 kg with 540 bhp, which works out at 306 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 306 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.99 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,002nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 3rd quickest of the 11 Shelbys here. Its 115.7 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 11 published acceleration figures for this car.
