Whether on the test track, highway, or your favorite stretch of mountain pavement, you'll notice a substantial difference in the way the Mustang performs in Shelby GT trim. Given a 19-horsepower increase, you wouldn't expect a huge drop in acceleration times, but we got consistent 0-to-60 runs of five seconds flat, a nip better than the usual 5.1-5.2 seconds for the stock GT. But the sensations make it feel like more. There's a deep, throbbing intake roar from the open-element air filter and wonderful subwoofer noises courtesy of the exhaust system. You'll be driving this thing through parking garages just to set off a few car alarms. The stouter rear gear helps, too; the car launches harder, revs up quicker, and midrange passing power again feels like more than 19 ponies' worth. The Hurst shift cures the stock unit's side-to-side slop when in gate. Baby it, and it feels notchy, but treat it like a precision rifle bolt, and it snaps from gear to gear.
