Are you kidding!? ^^

The Shelby GT500 will be the slowest of them all-- easily. The M3 would come in 3rd, the 63 second, and the 55 first. Of course, you have to remember HP figures vary in these hand built engines and there is a possibility a 63 will beat a 55.

One thing I will say though, I remember my SL55 pulling like a freight train though.

SL55, ML500 & Acura TL
I was at the track last year when a brand new Mustang S GT500 was running. He was running low 14s. Later that night, we lined up next to each other. The little SL turned a 12.22. The Mustang ran a 14.2. The crowd (all american muscle guys) was shocked.

According to Edmunds, the car should run high 12s stock.

I ran head-to-head against a modified Shelby GT500 earlier this spring. He ran high 11s; I was a couple tenths faster. Not sure what mods he had, though.

Andy, That's not a shelby gt500 of any kind, it's a modded-stang but certainly not a stock Shelby Gt500 which are relatively slow

Out of these 4, V8 M3 traps the fastest
