5 Used Cars Will Smoke a 2025 Ford Mustang GT
Newer doesn’t always mean faster. When it comes to the 2025 Ford Mustang GT, the seventh-generation Mustang model is much quicker than some previous models. However, just because the 486-horsepower GT boasts budget-friendly speed doesn’t mean you can’t find a faster used car alternative to the ‘Stang, like the Toyota GR Supra 3.0 or the S197 Shelby GT500.
Any of these used cars would show some taillights to the already-speedy 2025 Ford Mustang GT
Outrunning a 2025 Ford Mustang GT isn’t a simple feat. The GT (with the performance exhaust option) produces 486 horsepower from its 5.0L Coyote V8 and can hit 60 mph in around four seconds. Still, the Mustang isn’t an insurmountable foe. Here are a few of your top options for modern used cars with GT-beating speed.
| Make and model | Fair purchase price (KBB) |
|---|---|
| 2020 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 | $42,485 |
| 2022 BMW M240i xDrive | $44,113 |
| 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 | $32,907 |
| 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat | $31,371 |

The Mk5 Toyota GR Supra was a controversial addition to the market. On the one hand, the GR Supra boasted razor-sharp driving dynamics and unique styling. Conversely, critics were quick to call it a rebadged BMW. Either way, the 2021 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 could hit 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds on its way to a 12.1-second quarter mile. That’s properly quick.
At the mention of the BMW-ness of the GR Supra, we’d be remiss to omit one of its close mechanical siblings: the BMW M240i xDrive. Sure, it packs the same BMW 382-horsepower B58 inline-six-cylinder engine as the Supra. However, with its grippy xDrive all-wheel drive (AWD) system, the M240i xDrive will hit 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds.
So, if you want a Mustang-beating Mustang, there’s just one name for it: Shelby. Specifically, the 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, a 662-horsepower supercharged punctuation mark in the S197 Mustang story. Better yet, even with a TREMEC six-speed manual transmission in place of an automatic, the Shelby Mustang will hit 60 mph in 3.6 seconds.
The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat represented a hilariously high-horsepower development in the muscle car market. 707 horsepower right from the very beginning. However, even with traction limitations (duh), the first model-year SRT Hellcat could hit 60 mph in 3.7 seconds. Better yet, the SRT model could dispatch of a quarter mile in just 11.7 seconds.
The 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 topped the Camaro range with a 650-horsepower supercharged 6.2L V8. The result? A razor-sharp Camaro with the ability to reach 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds.
