It must be great to be a Mustang fan these days, as you have more choices than you can shake a stick at, from Ford’s entry models to the Shelby GT350 and GT350R, and now, Shelby itself has something for you.

Shelby American, a subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc., presented their new 2015 Shelby GT based on the V8-powered Mustang GT at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction.

For a starting price of $39,995 over the price of a regular 2015 Mustang GT that has with an MSRP of $32,300 which brings the total to a $72,295 (in reality less, as no one pays MSRP), you can get a 627hp supercharged Mustang. Mind you, Shelby states that it will retain all take-off parts, so you won’t be able to make any money from any components.

At the heart of the conversion is Ford’s stock 5.0-liter V8, which with the help of an upgrade kit that includes a supercharger and Ford Racing Borla exhaust and half shafts, pushes out 627-horses. Shelby also offers a 700hp optional performance upgrade.

The program enhances the Mustang’s handling with upgraded shocks, springs and sway bars, a Wilwood six-piston front brake system, plus new 20-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin tires size 275/35 front and 305/30 rear. Gearing has been upgraded (3.73 gears) and paired with a short show shifter for the manual gearbox model (you can also get the Shelby GT with an automatic).

Shelby dresses the exterior of the Mustang with a carbon fiber kit that includes the hood, front splitter, side skirts, rear deck lid and spoiler, and mirror caps, along with special stripes, a faux gas cap and billet aluminum upper and lower front grilles.

On the inside, you’ll find Shelby-branded headrests, door sills and floor mats, and a carbon fiber dash pod.

“The 2015 Shelby GT is a nicely balanced muscle car that does everything well, whether on the track or on the drag strip” said Gary Patterson, Shelby American Vice President of Strategic Sales and Media Relations. “This post-title program takes performance to extreme levels. At the same time, the styling is sleek yet uniquely American with touches from Shelby history.”
