2008 Shelby GT500: Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode 243
A 500 horsepower Shelby Mustang was a tough sell in the 2008 recession against high gas prices and a falling economy. But what about the car? Is the 2008 Shelby GT500 worthy of the name? We think so! Check out this upgraded GT500 from The Brothers Collection in this episode of Muscle Car Of The Week! #Shelby #Mustang #GT500

Love my 08. She's been with me for 9 years and will not be selling her. It's the original comeback Shelby, the one that inspired dodge and Chevrolet. It will forever be part of history

These cars, in my opinion, really started it all. They may not be the performers of today's standards but they are still quite fast, comfortable, smooth and very easy to deal with. $1500 bucks and you can have a 650 hp car easily. They are great looking and a great bang for your buck car.

There are a couple of errors in the video; this wasn't the first year of the re-released GT500, it was first offered in 2007. I have a 2007 also in Vista Blue with white stripes that I bought new. The GT350's mentioned came out after the 2007 GT500, not before. This one in the video is also lowered; it has the FRPP struts from the FRC500 GT class race cars; I recognized the lowered profile/additional rake and the adjustable struts in the video as I also did this mod on mine. Not criticisms and love the video series, just wanted to correct some of the details.

You are correct! I have the 2007. As they were panning under the car I too noticed the Ford Racing suspension. I installed a 2014 GT500 supercharger larger throttle body and tune, I put out over 700HP. The Ken Bell is a great supercharger but it's always compressing so bad mileage. I think the 2007 to 2009 is the coolest body style.

I owned a black on black 65' mustang 289/271 hp/4 spd car which my buddy still owns. That Mustang has evolved into this Shelby. There is one thing the 65' will do that these new mustangs can't and that is getting a thumbs up at a stop light. These newer cars will do everything better (acceleration,,braking,handling,comfort etc.) Evolution cannot be stopped. Great article Kevin.....keep em' comming. I pasted this to my friend and now he is a subscriber to Mustlecaroftheweek!

Joseph Webb hey I’m not saying you can’t be a douche, you certainly are a douche and I wouldn’t try and take that away from you, it probably is a mental defense for your insecurities in life. I was just curious. Personally i think the 07-08 GT500’s look better. The 13-14’s just look to added onto. Both can be made very fast. I suppose it just depends on personal taste.
