Second Test: 2010 Ford Shelby GT500
2010 Ford Shelby GT500 - Ford Sport Coupe Second Test Review - Automobile Magazine

The numbers produced were certainly respectable, but we felt more could be eked from the powerful ponycar. Having recently wrung the car under better conditions, our suspicions were confirmed.
