The 2020 Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang in new Grabber LimeFord Ford is still keeping a few secrets about the upcoming Mustang Shelby GT500, but we now know the zero-100-zero time, and its wild.Although this metric is rarely used, the new GT500 with its 760 horsepower and 625 lb.-ft. of torque, can sprint to 100 km/h from a standing start and back down to zero in just 10.6 seconds.Most of this is due to the 5.2-litre supercharged V8 engine, but there are other factors at play here. The Michelin Sport Pilot Cup 2 tires help get all the power from the engine onto the ground without smoking the tires, and the available carbon fibre wheels keep rotating mass to a minimum. Thats all well and good, but the time wouldnt be as impressive if the GT500 didnt stop well, but the 16.5 inch brakes on the front wheels Ford says theyre the largest of any domestic sports coupe certainly help. Another critical factor in the search for the quickest times is what actually sends the power from the engine to the rear wheels. With the GT500, a dual-clutch automatic is the only option, but in Sport mode, it can over-torque shifts for uninterrupted power delivery similar to old-school power shifting, where the gas pedal stays firmly planted on the floor during shifts.The rear axle is a 3.73:1 Torsen limited-slip unit with stronger half -shafts. The 3.73 is actually quite mild, so its possible the GT500 could go even faster with a 4.11, or even a 3.90.While the numbers are impressive, it still is not a true zero-to-100 km/h time, leaving some numbers a mystery for
