It looks like we weren't the only ones to get our hands on the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/shebly GT500). Jamal Hameedi (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/jamal hameedi), SVT chief nameplate engineer, recently stopped by the Big Dog Garage to show off both the Mustang Boss 302 (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/mustang+boss+302/) and the GT500. It's no secret that Leno has always been a Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/mustang) fan, and with the ridiculously powerful supercharged 5.8-liter pumping out more grunt than the comedian's own Ford GT (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ford gt), the 2013 Shelby has earned itself another proponent. Leno takes the big horse out for a ride around town, including over some of the more punishing stretches of Los Angeles freeway before heading home.
Of course, it wouldn't be an episode of Jay Leno's Garage without a proper burnout, and the clip doesn't disappoint. Looks like fun (http://www.mnfords.com/2012/05/21/jay-leno-gets-nostalgic-driving-shelby-gt500-and-boss-302/#continued)to us. Now the only question is whether Leno will add one of these machines to his own personal collection. Scroll down below (http://www.mnfords.com/2012/05/21/jay-leno-gets-nostalgic-driving-shelby-gt500-and-boss-302/#continued) to watch the video, which concludes with a little tribute to the recently deceased Carroll Shelby (http://autoblog.com/tag/carroll shelby).Continue reading Jay Leno gets nostalgic driving Shelby GT500 and Boss 302 (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/05/21/jay-leno-gets-nostalgic-driving-shelby-gt500-and-boss-302/)
