Video: 2013 Shelby GT500 Shredding Rubber

What can we possibly say about the 2013 Shelby GT500 that hasn’t already been said? It is by far the most powerful street-legal Mustang Ford has ever produced, blowing away even Ford’s own horsepower estimates to ring in at a head 662 horsepower and 631 ft-lbs of torque. It is, to be blunt, the ultimate Mustang.

The 2013 Shelby’s are only just starting to hit dealerships. While Ford is still embargoing most reviews, Motor Authority was able to upload a video of the 2013 Shelby GT500 doing what it does best; turning tires into burnt rubber.

As with most major automakers, Ford gives members of the motoring press a chance to drive new cars before they actually start selling them. All Ford asks is that the journalists keep their opinions to themselves until a designated time. We imagine the first reviews for the 2013 Shelby GT500 will crop up on Monday morning.

Even so, that didn’t stop motor authority from uploading this video with three different angles of Shelby tire-shredding goodness. And just listen to the roar of that Mustang! It’s a truly intimidating car, and a fun video if you haven’t fulfilled your daily dose of burnt rubber.
