Used 2020 Ford Shelby GT500 Coupe Trims Comparison

Standard equipment starts with a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 (760 horsepower and 625 lb-ft of torque) paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and rear-wheel drive. Other key performance features include three powertrain coolers (oil, differential and transmission), adaptive dampers, a Torsen rear differential (with 3.73 gearing), race-grade Brembo brakes, and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.

Hardcore performance doesn't limit comfort, however. Inside, the GT500 offers leather-wrapped front seats with simulated-suede inserts, a digital gauge cluster display, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and Ford's Sync 3 infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.

Serious enthusiasts may want to add the optional Handling or Carbon Fiber Track package. The former adds a Gurney flap to the rear spoiler for improved aerodynamic performance. The latter, meanwhile, equips the GT500 with 20-inch carbon-fiber wheels, upgraded tires and adjustable strut top mounts for fine-tuning alignment, Recaro front seats, and carbon-fiber interior trim. The Carbon Fiber Track package also removes the rear seat for weight savings.

If lap times aren't an obsession, consider the Technology package instead. It adds an upgraded Bang & Olufsen sound system, a navigation system blind-spot monitoring and driver-seat memory settings.
