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.
