Luckily for us, Road & Track just tested the 2015 Shelby (Mustang) Super Snake*. It has someplace between 750 hp and 850 hp. The as-tested price of the car R&T tested was $96,716. Interestingly, it ran to sixty in 3.9 seconds and did the quarter mile in 12.3 seconds. Of course, these tuner Mustangs are all about track work and brakes matter a lot on a track (or on the road for that matter). Here the Mustang has a 113 foot stopping distance to the Camaro's 117 foot stop from 60 MPH. I am lucky enough to have driven a couple high-priced tuner Mustangs at media days on track. What struck me was that in my hands (clumsy as they might be) the basic Mustang GT with its track pack always felt faster. Maybe it's not just me. Would you pay $56,000 more for a tenth of a second to sixty and a 3-foot shorter stop from 60? * Road & Track - October 2015 issue, page 46. Note: Image is a Ford Shelby GT350R
