Recall, one Ohio dealer in May was selling 727-horsepower Mustangs prepped by Roush for less than $40K. You’ll find even more power in some of the Mustangs on display at the SEMA show in Las Vegas.

He pairs quite a bit of speed with a ton of opposite lock. This results in glorious noise and a cloud of tire smoke...

  • 2017 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350
