    The GTD uses an R version of the 5.4 engine regarding upgraded internals and a dry sump oil system for heavy cornering. Ford advertised 815 horsepower. When you build a track car like the GTD. It's not all about horsepower. It's the overall package starting with the 8 speed DCT transaxle. The Multimatic active Areo and Suspension components with a top speed over 215 mph. If you attended the Rolex 24 at Daytona. You saw the Mustang GT3 win the GTD Pro Class with their team car finishing on the podium in 3rd place beating competition like the C8 Z06 GT3-R. Mercedes AMG. Porsche 911 GT3. BMW and Lexus. The GT3 Mustang uses a 550 horsepower 5.4 Ford engine. The GT500 is an aggressive and amazing muscle car. But Ford has taken the Mustang to the next level creating a strong track car with the new S650 Dark Horse and IMSA Dark Horse R racing class that for the first time will compete in WEC at the 24 hours at LeMans along with the Mustang GTD Pro Something that never happened for the S550 GT500.

Neither are the fastest but they looked and sounded awesome, plenty enough power for fun, etc. realistically on the street, you’re not going to fully run out a vehicle with all these 800hp vehicles. I currently use a Model Y Performance for a DD and even that in seconds you’re already pushing speeds that’ll send you straight to jail, let alone some crazy super snake model etc

    You don't need to use the paddles. The transmission shifts faster in automatic mode instead of manual mode

    I LOVE mine!!!! May never sell "Apollonia" now that Ford won't be making anymore factory Shelby's. Will be calling Fathouse Performance soon.

    I think it might be worth it if buying a favorite vehicle is not a headache over leasing

    Another beautiful Ruby Red Machine ! This is NOT a teenagers car, you need to know what you are doing driving this car or you can hurt yourself and others in another car if you are not careful and don't forget to buy two or three radar detectors while you are at it.

    Joe the gt500 has only ONE size front splitter (both CFTP and standard version - same splitter). The gt350R has a larger front splitter versus standard gt350, but not the 500.

    Really wish I had bought one before they stopped making them. Now it seems like a steal for that price compared to what we get now.

    Ford Should’ve kept the side vent on the fender like the 350. Look more aggressive
