The 2013-2014 Mustang GT500 and its 5.8-liter supercharged Trinity V8 is nothing short of an American engineering work of art from its era. Capable of producing 662 hp and 631 lb-ft (855 Nm) of twist, the Shelby got from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. Also, the analog dials were oozing muscle car vibes, unlike 2024's Mustang models complete with not-iPad tablets for a dashboard.
While driving one in an arcade-style racing game like The Crew Motorfest is far removed from the real-life experience, at least it's more feasible than buying the actual car itself. That's unless you have roughly $50,000-$65,000 extra change in your pocket for a used one.
The 2013 Shelby GT500 usually costs 315,000 in-game Bucks or 45,000 Crew Credits (CC). It has a 529/750 Performance Level and a top speed of 199.5 miles per hour or 321 kilometers per hour, with the same 3.5-second time from 0 to 60 as its real-life counterpart. Luckily, for the next four days (at the time of writing), you can get it for cheaper, along with two other modern classics, like the 1998 Honda Integra Type R and the '98 Nissan 240 SX.
The "THATDUDEINBLUE EXPERIENCE BUNDLE" costs 251,999 Bucks or 35,999 Crew Credits, down from 315,000 Bucks or 45,000 CC. The Integra Type R has a 365/600 Perf. Lvl., produces 190 hp, has a top speed of 145 miles per hour, and reaches 60 mph in 6.7 seconds. The 2.4-liter Nissan 240 SX has a 301/600 Performance Level, makes 155 horsepower, and unfortunately, the top speed and 0 to 60 figures are undisclosed. You'll have to find them out on your own after adding the car to your inventory.

Next, the Custom bundle costs 101,500 Crew Credits, down 30% from the initial price of 145,000 CC. It features the newly introduced 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm and vanity items that visually complement it, such as the Deep Blue Segment Underglow, Navy Molten Core Tire, Dark Blue Nitro, and Black Window Tint.
The Giulia GTAm name sadly doesn't stand for "Grand Theft Auto," but Gran Turismo Alleggerita. It has a front-mounted 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine that produces 533 hp and 443 lb-ft or 601 Nm of torque.
It has a rear-wheel drive system and an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and while it comes with four complete doors, it can only accommodate two people. Off the line, it should hit 60 mph in 3.3 seconds while finishing the quarter-mile in 11.5 seconds. It also has a top speed of 186 mph or 300 kph and looks spectacular.
Obviously, the Mustang Shelby GT500 is the one to go for. Its RWD system makes it handle superbly in corners when you need to drift instead of hitting the brakes. It's a joy to play with and looks great on a sandy beach.
Codrin just loves American classics, from the 1940s and ‘50s, all the way to the muscle cars of the '60s and '70s. In his perfect world, we'll still see Hudsons and Road Runners roaming the streets for years to come (even in EV form, if that's what it takes to keep the aesthetic alive). Full profile
