President Barack Obama took time out from watching the Republican field eviscerate each other in Florida to visit the Washington D.C. Auto Show. He sat in roughly six cars, but seemed to focus on the 2013 Shelby GT500, which he apparently called "sick." Right on, Mr. President. More »

The Camaro ZL1 is built to be run hard, no doubt about it. "Track-ready" is the word of the day from the engineering team. (And we're out at Bondurant to prove it., more on that later) But it takes an extra-large bucket of stones to use a competitor's owner's manual against it. More »

The 2011 Shelby GT500 Super Snake carries all the baggage of a Carroll Shelby-ized vehicle — including the signature plaques — but it also carries about 800 horsepower. So why are you complaining? More »
]]> http://jalopnik.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5794332&view=rss&microfeed=true There's much disagreement over what engine the 2013 Shelby GT500 will get, with some hinting it'll be a 500+ HP twin-turbo 5.0-liter V8 and now Car And Driver stating it'll be a 600+ HP 5.8-liter supercharged V8. Such wonderful disagreement. More »

At this point, we're wondering if NBC is captained by a board of masochists, as news comes down the pipe they've ordered up four more Knight Rider scripts from the show's writers. Mind you, they're just scripts, not necessarily full episodes...yet. If you've watched the show religiously, you're a sturdier breed of television consumer than we are, as we've given up on the thing. We've driven the blacked-out Mustang Shelby GT500KR, and that's going to remain the highlight of the show for us. Well, that and the day we hear the show gets the axe. [THR via Autoblog] More »

Just in time for the September 24th premier of NBC's new Knight Rider show, the local NBC news affiliate in Grand Rapids, Michigan has found a great way to shamelessly promote the show a woman claiming that her recently sold Mustang GT was bought to be turned into a real-life example of KITT for the show. Deb Fralick had to sell her beloved Ford Mustang GT for $19,000 after faced with bills from a life-threatening illness and several visits to the Mayo Clinic. We're not exactly sure how much time her car will actually spend on-set, as right now it's said to be in the Toronto area on a promotional tour. More »

Mere hours after we showed our renderings of the 2010 Shelby GT500 the photographers from KGP had a surprise for us: photos of a very lightly disguised 2010 GT500 convertible. This topless and likely line-topping version of the 2010 Ford Mustang will likely debut sometime after the base Mustang and offer a fiercer look and more power. As with the renderings from earlier, this GT500 seems to sport new hood ducts to help the mighty Mustang breathe deeply. The GT500 was conveniently captured within a fog that managed to obscure the spot where the engineers were snapped. Spy report below the jump. More »

That's right boys n' girls, I'm cruising down Woodward Avenue today in the 2008 Woodward Dream Cruise in none other than the Mustang-powered KITT from the new Knight Rider TV show hitting NBC this fall. Unlike most of those used in filming, this isn't a fancy-pantsified Mustang GT. Nope, it's a heavily-modified GT500KR, with light bar and all. I'm not sure what else I can tell you about the car as my drive impression's embargoed until September 1st, but let's simply say it's got more horsepower than the run-of-the-mill King of the Road. Screw it, there's 605 HP under the hood. But if you happen to be cruising down Woodward, or sitting on the sidelines today — keep an eye out for a midnight black 'stang with the cobra on the front — one of our team will more than likely be behind the wheel. Then remember to come back on September 1st to see Ben's review of the new beast from Knight Industries. More »
