The 2016 Ford Shelby GT350, arguably the most anticipated and most popular muscle car of all time, is here and it's simply unparalleled.
As reported by Yahoo! Autos, the 2016 Ford Shelby GT350 is everything that Ford has claimed it to be and then some. One of the first things you'll notice with the new Ford Shelby is that much of its components are custom-made. With the front track increased compared with the Mustang GT, the suspension of the Shelby was also stiffer.
Driving enthusiasts will love the 2016 Ford Shelby GT350 as it's only available with a six-speed manual transmission. The manual gearbox, described as direct and precise, would make the driver enjoy shifting through the gears.
Be wary though as the clutch release of the Shelby is a bit springy, so drivers should disengage the clutch pedal with precision, or else, they might risk getting their engines stalled.
Speaking of the engine, it isn't a genuine muscle car if it doesn't come with a V8, right? The 2016 Ford Shelby GT350 is equipped with a 5.2-liter V8 engine that delivers 526 horsepower, 71 horsepower more than its direct competition, the Chevrolet Camaro.
People would think that a car with this much power would be tough to drive and only experienced "pilots" can tame this beast from Ford. Good news, as noted by Cars, even non-pro drivers won't have a problem navigating the road with this car — how's that for flexibility?
According to Automoblog, for the first time in history, the 2016 Ford Shelby GT350 will be fitted with 19-inch carbon fiber wheels. In addition, this would also be the first time that carbon wheels are used in a car that costs less than $70,000.
Which begs the question, how much would a 2016 Ford Shelby GT350 cost you? Surprise, surprise, it costs only $47,795 as its starting price.
