7. Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500

Top Speed: 189 mph
Zero to Sixty: 3.5 seconds

With a 5.8 liter V8 under the hood, the Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 pumps out 662 horsepower and 631 lb-ft of torque. This power allows the GT 500 to reach a blazing top speed of 189 mph, and reach 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. The GT 500 is equipped with adjustable dampers that allow the driver to switch between settings appropriate for track or road use. The suspension does a great job of keeping the tires planted, and there is almost no body roll. The stability can be switched off, but it works so well in sport mode that you may not even feel the need to. The system doesn’t cut power, instead adding momentary one-wheel braking to keep the car in line.
