The latest auto news, reviews, prices, product and vehicle releases. 
The screaming blue paint, bold American styling, and 540 horsepower create a perfect street cruiser that's always ready to open the throttle and blast down an open road.
It looks like we're back to a familiar conundrum: should I buy a supercharged Mustang or a base Corvette? A base Corvette coupe starts at $49,515 with destination, and the only option that you'll really need is the two-mode exhaust system at $1195, so a worthy Vette starts at $50,710. That's actually $185 less than this particular Shelby GT500 coupe (and that's ignoring any potential dealer markup on the Shelby). Yes, the Shelby has more horsepower, but the Corvette is a better handler, more fuel efficient at 16/26 mpg, and 707 pounds lighter. By no means is this an apples-to-apples comparison, but it's certainly one that will be explored on many Web sites.inline_mediumwraptextright24817471/reviews/editors_notebook/0908_2010_ford_mustang_shelby_gt500_coupe0908_01_z+2010_ford_mustang_shelby_gT500_coupe+profile.jpgTrue
