The introduction of the Shelby Super Snake marks an exciting addition to the esteemed S650 Ford Mustang family, offering a formidable 830 horsepower from its supercharged 5.0L V8 engine. Limited to just 250 units for the 2024 model year, prospective buyers are encouraged to act swiftly to secure this high-performance marvel.
In contrast to the Super Snake’s commanding presence, the standard Mustang lineup includes familiar variants such as the EcoBoost, GT, and Dark Horse. While the EcoBoost boasts respectable performance with its 350-horsepower four-cylinder engine, enthusiasts seeking V8 power can opt for the GT or Dark Horse models.
The GT variant, featuring a 5.0L Coyote V8 engine, delivers 480 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, with the option to enhance performance further with an available performance exhaust system. Meanwhile, the Dark Horse variant offers a similar power output, providing a compelling option for enthusiasts seeking a blend of performance and style.
With the departure of competitors such as the sixth-gen Camaro and the impending arrival of the new Dodge Charger, the S650 Ford Mustang stands as the sole contender in the muscle car arena. Its proven performance and enduring legacy make it a formidable choice for enthusiasts seeking uncompromising power and style.
Recent tests, including drag races against competitors like the Volkswagen Golf R, reaffirm the Mustang’s dominance on the road. Despite facing stiff competition, the Mustang’s relentless performance continues to fascinate enthusiasts and solidify its status as an icon of American muscle.
