2016 Shelby GT350
2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 unveiled, ready to hunt Z/28s - Road & Track
Seems like a real outside the box thing for Ford. And that exhaust note...
The engine breathes better as a result, and Ford says that this 5.2 is the most powerful naturally aspirated engine the company has ever produced. Final output is still under wraps, but Ford says we should expect more than 500 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.

I'm sure everyone will be up in arms about 100+ less horsepower than the outgoing SVT car but by the looks of it this will be twice the car. I had an 07 GT500 and to be honest it really didn't impress me all that much. I liked my 12 Boss 302 far better. I think this is a step in the right direction, and chances are the motor will be able to handle some aftermarket boost anyway!

Its at a much more streetable, useable power. I think Ford, and GM have shifted to an overall complete package from who can make the most power. I'm sure Dodge will follow suit with something once they get the Hellcats off the lots.

I am going to have one 
Rumoured starting price, 52,800 US
Plus tech pack, track pack, fully loaded version looks close to 68,000 Cad.
But a 500 + NA 8200 rpm, beast if you ask me.
I am going to take a bath selling my 08 GT/CS
