Shelby GT-H

[motoroller]

I had the pleasure of hiring one of these on a recent trip to the US - what a car! I've not found any conclusive numbers for the car though, as it's nice to know what 450hp "feels" like. Any ideas? I'd be guessing 450hp and mid-4s 0-60 based on seat-of-pants feelings, and on my previous cars.

What is a Shelby GT-H? What year? A Shelby GT500 from 2012 is 540bhp, low 4s. A 2014 Shelby is over 600 bhp, high 3s.

They're Hertz special editions. This one was non-supercharged, I know the supercharged Shelby is 500-600hp. This one was nearly new, probably 2016 MY. But it definitely had a N/A Coyote V8.

Ahha, so a Shelby look-alike for rentals. Std Coyote is around 420 bhp, 4.8s.

So given a few mods (definitely wasn't a "stock" exhaust), my figures could be bang on! :P

A GT-H is a GT with FRPP suspension, Borla exhaust along with a CAI and re-tune I think. Circa 440-450BHP.

My car which has similar modifications is seeing easy 4.7s 0-60 which is achieved just walking it off the line and 10s 0-100mph. Not tried using LC yet but one would expect around 4.5s to 60 and around 9.5s to 100.

I stumbled upon this at the IMSA racing a few weeks ago.
I like the side skirts trim, but IMO the bonnet make it look a bit fat fronted.

I like it, but would rather have a real GT350 S550, or preferably a 2012 GT500, the later ones are too big a step up from 400ish bhp.

Me too - but there aren't many of those for rentals!

True, guess I'll have to buy one then.
