Modified 1,100-HP 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Races 2020 Ferrari 488 Pista

Forced induction is the recipe for big power, so what happens when a twin-turbo 2020 Ferrari 488 Pista lines up against a supercharged 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500? Mustang fans that follow Stangmode know he has pushed the new GT500 farther than anyone thought possible. The Coyote block is a marvel of modern metallurgy, but it is going up against the pride of Italy. The 2020 Ferrari 488 Pista weighs in at 3,054 lbs and offers 711 horsepower along with 567 lb-ft of torque.

In stock form, the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is 4,225 lbs. But to reach 1,100 horsepower, upgrades must be made to the primary and secondary cooling systems. The transmission gearing and shift speeds are also favorable to the Mustang, so a rolling race should equalize the odds.
