We're looking at the 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR
and 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, but we're
imagining a '68 Shelby GT500KR staging next
to a Corvette with one of the 427-cubic-inch
V8s on the Connecting Highway in Queens, New
York, probably sometime during the Nixon
administration. We don't know how the cars
are tuned or which driver has the better
hole-shot technique, but we're calling our
street race in favor of the Vette.
You see, there's no historical basis for a
close Corvette-Mustang rivalry. A Corvette of
any year is a little too fast and smart to be
street racing ratty muscle cars. It's a real
sports car, the kind of car that's still fun
when you start going around corners.
But maybe it's a different story with this
2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR and 2008 Chevrolet
Corvette Z06. Each of these rear-wheel-drive
coupes has a V8 rated for more than 500
horsepower at the flywheel. And with the
release of the limited-edition 2008 Ford
Shelby GT500KR, Ford has moved in on
Chevrolet's price territory. The GT500KR
leaves the Ford factory as a $46,730 GT500
coupe and is shipped as a rolling chassis to
Carroll Shelby's facility near the Las Vegas
Motor Speedway in Nevada. By the time the KR
cruises out of Shelby's shop, it's an $82,395
Mustang.
As such, the King-of-the-Road Mustang must
now contend with this $76,920 2008 Chevrolet
Corvette Z06. And though the Z06 is a few
horsepower shy of the upcoming ZR1, it's not
an easy mark. The GT500KR will have to play
like a sports car just to keep up.

Ford doesn't build Mustangs to fly. That was
true back in 1968 when Steve McQueen sent a
GT 390 soaring over the hills of San
Francisco in Bullitt. And it's true of the
new 315-horsepower 2008 Mustang Bullitt.
We jumped it anyway. Not because we wanted
to, but because we had to. It's a Mustang
Bullitt, and that means it's gotta fly.
