Jean Cocteau once said “A car can massage organs which no masseur can reach.

I bet Jean was probably talking about a Ford Mustang when he was writing this quote. Now if you want to find a Mustang that will give you the best message then you should ride in the 2008 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500KR.
The 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR is a specialedition GT500 in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the original “King of the Road.” The GT500KR is a product after the GT500 to wear the mostly extinct SVT Badge trying to prove to us that Ford still has a performance division.
