Great news for all muscle car fans! One of our most reliable sources about the Mustang project just confirmed that the Mustang GT500 will not get a twin-turbo overhaul. Yes, muscle car fan, the Mustang GT500 will still be equipped with a supercharger! To further whet your appetite for more muscle, the 2014 Mustang GT500 is expected to roll onto showroom in all its flexed glory by early 2013. But that’s not all. The 2014 Mustang GT500 will roll out not with its current 550 horsepower but with more to go head to head with its competitor Chevy’s Camaro ZL1.

The war between the Supercharger vs. Twin-Turbo has kept the online and publishing automobile communities busy for more than a year. While most rumors favored on the side of supercharger, the rumors about the Mustang GT500 getting a twin-turbo engine just won’t cease to end, until now.

The 2014 Mustang GT500 that will roll out early in 2013 will surely get more than 550 horsepower, which then confirms that its competitor, Chevy’s Camaro ZL1 will get more than that too. Perhaps a 570 horsepower?

Now while the 2014 Mustang GT500 will be released early, the fully redesigned Mustang GT500 won’t see the light of the showrooms until 2014. Engine design, lightweight materials, and design overhaul specifications are still all speculations with lots of suggestions thrown by experts and enthusiasts alike.

All ears are tuned in for the showdown between the 2014 Mustang GT500 and Chevy’s Camaro ZL1 but for now, let’s be content that the former will still carry a supercharger.

When the 2010 GT500 Ford Mustang was release in January, it was just a matter of time before motorsports firm Shelby Automobiles toys with it. During the recent Mid America Ford car show in Oklahoma, Shelby unveiled the blue Mustang in blue equipped with the Super Snake 725hp package.

Shelby fixed a supercharged to the donated coupe and boosted the power of the DOHC V8 5.4L engine to 725hp. Their mechanics also tweaked the car with better radiator and intercooler, JBA exhaust system, and cold air intake.

The Ford tuner company also produced a tamer 630hp variant which uses Borla exhaust instead of the JBA.

Adjustable dampers were also installed to provide the ride with better handling. This came with stiffer springs, tougher anti-roll bar, and some tower brace for the front strut. The Super Snake deal also comes with customized 20-inch rims in combo with P-Zero Perelli rubbers.

The most popular ford models ever begin with the legendary Model T. The Model T was the first practical car suitable for the average American. The car went about 45 mph and was only offered in the color black. About 15,500,000 models were sold just in the US. It remained the top car on the market and was sold for the equivalent of $19,000 in today’s market.

After this, the Model A was produced. Being one of the most popular ford models ever, it was greeted with a great enthusiasm after the 18 year reign of the Model T. It had a new style and was available in the station wagon design. It was available in four different colors, but not black.
