2007 Shelby GT500 Road and Track
By Larry Hendrick | October 15, 2007
If the 500 HP Shelby GT500 wasn’t enough for you, and the GT500KR’s 600HP didn’t float your boat, the new Road and Track option might be your thing. Set to be an add-on soon, this minor tweaking sets this as the power option for the “more power” crew.

In supercharged Shelby GT500 guise, the Mustang packs more horsepower for the dollar than anything in the solar system. Unfortunately, it also packs a lot of weight. What’s a GT500 lover to do? Add more sauce. Enter Ford Racing and the Shelby GT500 Road and Track.
This one’s the real deal. Nearly all of the parts shown on the Shelby GT500 Road and Track will soon be available for any power-crazed GT500 owner. In case it’s not obvious by the car’s unwieldy name, the Road and Track has mods intended to increase performance without compromising livability too much.
Most of the Road and Track’s parts are fugitives from Ford Racing’s prototype shop. A Ford Racing Super Pack elevates the GT500’s stock 500 horsepower to a dizzying 600 in the Road and Track with the help of a blower upgrade, headers, exhaust and a reflashed engine controller. Jamie Allison, manager of Ford Racing’s Performance Parts division, says they’re “still working out the details of the Super Pack” and that an entry-level Power Pack, good for 50 hp over stock, will be available in January.
