Lab tests and test track for the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500.

On this episode of Ignition, Carlos Lago tests the most powerful production car made in America – the new 2013 Ford Shelby GT500. After running the GT500 through Motor Trend’s instrumented testing gauntlet, including top speed pulls on the dyno, we head to Kingman, Arizona, where pro racer Randy Pobst gets behind the wheel to see if Ford’s 662-HP beast can break the elusive 200 mph barrier.

60 in 3.5 seconds — car hits 60 mph in first gear.

Quarter-mile in 11.6 seconds at 125.7 mph.

101 feet for 60-0.
