With cars like the new Camaro Z/28 and Dodge’s ridiculous 707 horsepower Challenger SRT Hellcat , it’s a good time for fans of modern American muscle cars. With the launch of the new Mustang just around the corner, Ford is also planning to dive right back into the fray with hot versions of the new pony. This video clip from Road & Track shows the upcoming 2016 Shelby GT350R testing at the Nürburgring. Rather than the horsepower monster that is the Hellcat, the GT350R will be the athletic, track-friendly replacement of the previous generation Boss 302.
The word is that it’s going to make about 500 naturally aspirated horsepower, and if this video is anything to go by the pony car wars are about to get even more interesting.
