2013 Shelby 1000 cranks up the horsepower dial to 1,200

Just in case a stock 662-horsepower Shelby GT500 isn't powerful enough for your taste and the 850-hp Shelby Super Snake still fails to tickle your fancy, Shelby American has introduced the monstrous 2013 Shelby 1000 as the king of the Mustangs.
Using the same supercharged 5.8-liter V8 as the GT500, Shelby almost doubles the stock engine's power, which lays down an incredible 1,200 hp... on pump gas! Aside from the upgraded engine, the Shelby 1000 also has a fully adjustable suspension and big brakes.
So how much does it take to get a Shelby 1000 in your driveway? Well, after buying a stock GT500, which starts at $54,650, Shelby will build you a 1,200-hp 'Stang for a cool $154,995. Spare Pirelli P-Zeros not included. Feel free to read through the press release below for more.

Shelby Raptor is a 575-horsepower off-road goliath

Shelby American has definitely proven itself when it comes to tuning the Ford Mustang - look no further than its new 1,200-horsepower Shelby 1000 - but now the Las Vegas tuner has turned to the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor.
The big change for this already high-performance off-road pickup is the addition of a supercharger atop Ford's 6.2-liter V8, with spent gasses exiting through a Borla exhaust system. This improves the horsepower rating from a stock rating of 411 up to a shenanigan-ready 575. For a Shelby, the styling of this F-150 is very toned down, with only the company's name etched into the Raptor's digital mud to go along with custom wheels wrapped in 35-inch tires.
The company is only planning to build 100 of the Shelby Raptors per year, with pricing set at $17,995 on top of the stock donor Ford, which starts at $43,630. Scroll down for the official press release.
