RPM Collection's Steve Cage takes you for a quick spin in a 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 muscle car.

The 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is the most powerful factory-built Mustang in history.This 2007 Shelby is more powerful than the 1969 Mach 1 428 Super Cobra Jet or even the legendary 1969 Boss 429.

Ford called the car a bold collaboration between the legendary Carroll Shelby and Fords Special Vehicle Team (SVT). Carroll Shelby is a living automotive legend. Its a dream come true to be able to see the Shelby name on a Mustang again.

The Shelbys supercharged 5.4-liter, 32-valve V8 is similar to the engine in the GT 500. Ford started with the cast-iron 5.4-liter Triton V8 truck engine and added aluminum heads from the GT, specially calibrated camshafts, a Roots-type supercharger making 8.5 pounds of boost, and a water-to-air intercooler. Under that blower is an all-new low-profile intake manifold, which allows the engine to fit under the GT500's special air-extraction hood. Fuel comes from a dual-bore electronic throttle body borrowed from Ford's 6.8-liter truck engine program, however, the larger radiator, increased-capacity cooling system and the exhaust manifolds are unique to this application.

The engine is also dressed with special finned cam covers which are reminiscent of the "Cobra Powered By Ford" covers used by Shelby five decades ago, and its backed by the same T-56 six-speed that appeared in the supercharged 2003 SVT Mustang Cobra.

A balanced, performance-tuned ride is achieved through SVTs signature chassis tuning.The GT 500 features MacPherson-strut front suspension and a three-link rear suspension to locate a solid rear axle.
