With the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 a dominant force on the Internet this year, we mustn't allow its predecessor, the rowdy S197-gen GT500, to exit the spotlights just yet. Fortunately, examples like the one you see here make that task easy.
This pony doesn't need a mean color to impress - given the serious mods fitted to the slab of America, its white finish seems to work just fine.
The snake belongs to the 2007 model year when the fifth generation entered production. However, Devon, its owner, made sure that the machine stayed fresh by upgrading its most important areas.
The factory setup of this GT500 involves a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 delivering 500 horses. However, we can now talk about a built motor receiving boost the custom way, with the muscle number having jumped all the way up to 810 hp. However, this is no sleeper as the hood cutaway easily shows.
The gaping holes in the front apron are just the start of the visual party, as the Blue Oval toy features a complex widebody kit delivered by Shirokai. This is the complete incarnation of the package, which includes goodies such as the air extractors on the front fenders and the roof fins. The said aficionado also drives a 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, so perhaps that's where his fetish for the latter elements came from.
The air suspension fitted to the muscle car means the gap between the overfenders and the custom Heritage Wheels is microscopic - we're looking at three-piece units here and while the ones in the back are 13.5 inches (343 mm) wide, 7 inches (178 mm) are dedicated to the lips.
Heck, given the rest of the tech and visual setup, those exahaust tips might just look restrained. In fact, you can check out multiple angles of the GT500 in the Instagram post below (helmet tip to the_broken_specialist for the images and the kit installation).
