<span class="quoteStyle">The Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 took home top honors as the winner of the <span class="s1">2016AutoGuide.com Reader’s Choice Car of the Year Award.


With Ford keeping a tight grasp on AutoGuide.com readers, the fifth-generation Mustang also won last year’s Reader’s Choice Car of the Year. This year’s high-performance edition seems to have just as many fans.

Powered by a hand-built, naturally aspirated, flat-plane 5.2-liter V8, the Shelby lives up to its legendary predecessors with 526 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque, and with a redline of 8,250 rpm, it is the highest-revving production V8 in the American automaker’s history. Adding to its appeal is surely its starting price of $49,995, including destination, which cements its place as an attainable and very capable sports car.

Awwww....drool. Our dealership is only getting two for the year. Our first one sold immediately and the next one already has a deposit on it. Sigh...they've already told us to not even dream about any employee discount/D-plan deals. I did get to drive our first one for about 30 seconds into the shop. The automotive answer to Viagra...lol.

Dealers around here have a "market adjustment" price they add to the bottom line, usually around $20K
