It’s easy to imagine how a monster like the 2010 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 will perform on the track under heavy pressure from the driver, but how will the beast go under normal driving conditions? What will the people walking along Asian Heritage Row or Jalan P. Ramlee hear when you roll down the street with your machine? What kinds of sounds will the supercharged V8 produce in response to your clutch, shift and throttle work? The video after the jump might be one of the most boring performance car videos in the world, but it also answers the questions above somewhat. Watch the video after the jump.

Hey Paul, any idea if this ‘beast in beauty skin’ will ever arrive in Malaysia? Roughly how much would it cost in Malaysia? Damnnn…tats a sweettt looking car….wish someday i could drive one, moreover OWN one!!! Hahahahahaha….
P/s: Watching too much of Knight Rider….aisey…drooling all over….
Cheers!
IMHO, no cars can ever beats its masculinity!
I love the stance. So darn masculine.
Hey Paul, the driver’s an old guy trying to get a feel of the car. Notice how he gripped the steering wheel oh so tight? If he were to drive any faster he’ll go off roading which the car is not meant to be.
Maybe they should have invited us to do the test drive? He he he!

Depends on what sort of exhaust you have on. Its not fun with the stock mufflers.
I had Series 40 flowmasters on my z28 camaro. I suppose standing in a thunderstorm would be a close proxy off what you’d hear when you stomp on it.
Its loud enough to set of alarms…..come think of it, it would probably set off seismic sensors.
The same series 40 on a NA 4G63 at 8200rpm sounded like an old GP car.
this car i sub-zer0
that is quite a good looking muscle car …
dang! thats one mean looking machine!
wish i could see it here in malaysia.
I actually saw this car in this same colour in Hartamas on Monday night. Too bad it was parked though and i was rushing off for something. But it looked like a monster!
boss is not boring its show how ford is slowing down the sales and even with the big V8 too got to slow down
how much to bring it here
one way the us can regain some of its loss cash, remake gone in 60 sec….this as eleanor 2010….it will be a holywood hit hands down!
great car, sweet sound, bad video!!

someday, comrades we will have a revolution like russia, now everyone in russia has a ferrari
hey, i heard that we will never have this mustang in malaysia…is it right?
why? its not because of his V8 engine right?
ehh…i hope to own it someday, but poorly we cant have it here…
i saw this car (in the same color) on the way to LCCT airport !
What a nice beast with the upgrade on the engine and stuff on the 2010 V8, this beast will smoke the Camaro~~~
Calculated price to bring in the brand new GT500KR last year was about RM900k and it was not even 5.0 engine yet, with the new 5.0 It will cost even more even in the states. and I think now you will need atleast RM1mil to bring in the car. The 2009 version Mustang GT500KR cost around USD60k which after currency exchange its aroud RM180k and when it hit Malaysian shore prepare for ateast 5x more expensive cuz with 300% import duties and shipping price and all the document needed to go through our goverment just calculate yourself and see how much it will cost here.
Sorry Its 2011 GT500KR
Oh yea btw someone did bring in the older version GT305 into malaysia and it cost RM400 – RM500k…
