EVO: Shelby GT500 vs Mercedes C63 AMG drag race video

[Zafiro]

These two may look an unlikely pair photographed together, and on paper, Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe versus Ford Shelby GT500 seems equally odd. The German car's 451bhp and 442lb ft are dwarfed by the American's faintly ridiculous 662bhp and 631lb ft. So despite the Mustang's bulk, its claimed performance makes it top dog, completing 0-60mph nearly a second quicker (3.5sec plays 4.4) and its 202mph top speed embarrassing the 175mph Merc.

Wow! I thought the C63 would eat it alive. Impressing. Seems like even the M5 would have trouble with this Mustang.

We'll see hehe.

But a C63 Black Series would probably do better here?

Probably. But we have to admit that from a performance point of view the Shelby is bargain.

And it looks damn good on the outside. To bad that the inside looks like shit. Just as in other american musclecars of today, such as the Camaro, Challenger, Charger etc
