00:02 Last year's Los Angeles Auto Show was supposed to be
00:06 the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1's big coming out party.
00:10 But then the Ford folks crashed it
00:12 with the announcement of a new Shelby GT500.
00:15 With an all new supercharged 5.8 liter V8 on board,
00:18 the Shelby now boasts a stunning 662 horsepower
00:22 and 631 pound feet of torque.
00:25 With selectable sport steering and a new front wheel drive,
00:28 selectable sport steering and two mode Bilstein shocks,
00:31 not to mention untold hours of tuning
00:33 on the world famous Nurburgring,
00:35 the new GT500 was designed to do more than win drag races.
00:39 A lot more.
00:39 (upbeat music)

00:50 Some horsepower right there, people.
00:55 We're liking that.
00:56 (engine revving)
00:59 Little power oversteer in turn two.
01:04 That's a car I like.
01:06 (engine revving)
01:09 Big drift on the way out.
01:20 (engine revving)
01:23 (engine revving)
01:26 Less understeer in the middle of the corner than the Camaro.
01:45 Woo, less confidence on the brakes.
01:47 The Mustang will get in kind of a weird slide mode.
01:51 It's disconcerting.
01:53 Let's break a little early up here for the course.
01:57 Yeah, down boy, sit, sit.
01:59 (engine revving)
02:01 Yeah, the braking not as confidence inspiring as the Camaro,
02:18 but it has less understeer in the middle of the corner.
