Think 540 horsepower isn’t enough? Check out the Geiger Cars Shelby GT500…
The German tuner, Geiger Cars, seems to be fascinated with American muscle cars. Karl Geiger just can’t seem to get enough of them…and speed…and power for that matter. His latest project involves the Shelby GT500. The GT500 Ford Mustang already comes from the factory with 540 horsepower but that wasn’t enough, so changes were made. What kind of changes you might be wondering? Well, how about a larger Whipple supercharger, larger throttle valves, upgraded fuel injection system and ported cylinder heads. Some modest suspension tweaks were made as well. What does all of that get you? How about 799 horsepower and 697 pound feet of torque. Yowza! Geiger predicts a top speed of somewhere around 220 miles per hour. For more details, head on over to Autoblog.
