Say the word “Shelby” in automotive circles and almost invariably, visions of a Mustang with dual full-length stripes will pop into everyone’s heads. The American speed shop founded by racer Carroll Shelby was one of the first to realize the pony car’s potential as something more than a stylish sportster; within a year, it had turned the fastback into a bona fide racing car. More recent collaborations include the 2022 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, a track-ready special with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and a 760-horsepower supercharged V8.
