And I HIGHLY DOUBT that Ford's claims for the 2013 Shelby is "Dearborn drivel"... Ford's been under-rating for years now, even the Ford GT was putting over 500hp to the rear wheels on Dynojets with a factory 550hp rating. I doubt they're going to put their foots in their mouths now..
...like they did a dozen years' ago...385 hp, many of which fled the shed...

And BTW, what was the GT's number @ VIR? 4/10ths on a Z06? TWICE the dough? Now THERE was some Ford Value...
