In the first quarter of the year, the 2024 Ford Mustang, part of the S650 seventh-generation lineup, outsold its predecessors, including the discontinued sixth-generation Camaro and third-generation Dodge Challenger.
Despite this success, Ford reminisces about past rivalries, particularly those involving models like the Camaro ZL1 and various SRT variants competing against the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500.
Speculation arose when photographers spotted a mysterious prototype resembling a new Shelby model from Ford. However, any new Shelby releases will likely be postponed as Ford gears up to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Mustang, possibly explaining the camouflage seen on the prototype.
For enthusiasts eager for Shelby action, attention can still be directed to the S550 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. Notably, a recent video from the Wheels channel on YouTube showcases exciting dragstrip footage from The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
The video features various muscle car matchups, including the showdown between a green Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 and a gray 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock from the Last Call special series. Despite both models boasting impressive capabilities, one emerged victorious with an 8.93-second pass, showing the continued competition between Ford and Dodge in the market for muscle cars..
