2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Continues Drag Strip Dominance by Defeating Acura NSX

Ford's 760-horsepower Mustang is a monster in a straight line.

The 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is no slouch at the drag strip. Despite being built primarily to tackle road courses, it has no trouble defeating its competitors in a straight line, as we've seen multiple times in the past.
