Roush Shows The Shelby GT500 Who's Boss

Here we were, thinkingFord's new Shelby GT500was about as potent as a Mustang could get. Then the doors opened at SEMA to show us just how wrong we were.

Enter the new Jack Roush Edition – themost powerful MustangthatRoush Performance, in all its tuning and racing expertise, has ever put out for the road. Just how powerful, you ask? Try 775 horsepower on for size, more than the GT500's 760 (or so), with 670 lb-ft of twist to go with it, all courtesy of a 5.0-liter supercharged V8.

It also has an active exhaust, upgraded cooling system, Brembo brakes, variable carbon-fiber rear wing, and a specially calibrated MagneRide suspension with lowered springs. Roush also enhanced the pony car's appearance with a new grille, forged alloys, a full aero kit, blacked-out rear panel, and an enhanced cabin in which to experience its prodigious performance potential.

The Jack Roush Edition is made to honor the company's namesake on the occasion of his (forced) induction into the Nascar Hall of Fame earlier this year, having already been named to the Automotive Hall of Fame two years ago.
