Looking back at my early years of becoming addicted to fast cars, I've always had a thing for Ferraris and Japanese sports cars. While I wasn't necessarily crazy about muscle cars, still to this day a video of a 2003 Kenne Bell Mustang haunts my dreams. And while I've chosen the path of turbo rotaries, I would always be down to drive a supercharged V8-powered vehicle.

YouTuber Shmee150 is living the American dream this year, touring the country in this brand new Shelby GT500 in search of supercars and content. A short stop at the Hennessey test track sees him putting the mighty Mustang up against a formidable opponent, the C8 Corvette. 12 photos
If you ve been following this YouTuber, you ll know he just picked up the GT500 about a month ago. The plan is to later have it shipped back to the UK, where it will sit alongside the Ford GT and Focus RS. It s a mighty supercharged machine, but today, we re going to find out if he made a mistake not buying the Corvette instead.
We reported on January 5 that Ford was planning on bringing a new option to the GT500 to split the difference between the Handling Pack and the Carbon Fiber Track Pack. Today reports suggest that the package will cost $10,000.
The information comes thanks to an order form shared with Musclecarsandtrucks by a customer. That price point would make the new “Carbon Fiber Handling Package” considerably less expensive than the $18,500 Carbon Fiber Track Pack, but would be equally considerably more expensive than the $1,500 Handling Pack.
For your $10,000, you would get, arguably, the CFTP’s highlight feature, the carbon fiber wheels. Whereas they are finished so that you can see the weave of the carbon fiber in that package, though, they would be painted black for the CFHP.
