History of the Generation

The 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is part of the fifth generation Mustang (S197 platform), produced from 2005 to 2009 at Ford’s Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan. This generation revived the Mustang’s muscle car heritage with retro-inspired styling and modern engineering, selling over 1 million units globally and rekindling interest in American ponycars amid competition from the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger revivals. The GT500, introduced in 2007, marked the return of the Shelby name to production Mustangs after a 37-year hiatus, developed by Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT) with input from Carroll Shelby himself. It was offered as a coupe and convertible, with production focused on high-performance variants to appeal to enthusiasts.

The 2007 model year was pivotal, as it debuted the supercharged V8 and set the tone for subsequent updates like improved interiors and optional electronics. The fifth generation’s legacy is its blend of classic design with contemporary technology, earning awards like “Best Pony Car” from various outlets and establishing the Mustang as a global icon. Its production emphasized affordability and power, resulting in vehicles that remain popular for modifications and daily driving nearly two decades later.

Fuel Economy, Horsepower, Torque, and Tow Ratings

The 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 VENOM 645 HP is powered by a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine, producing 645 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 480 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 RPM (up from stock 500 hp and 480 lb-ft). This setup delivers blistering acceleration, with 0-60 mph times around 4 seconds and a quarter-mile in the low 12-second range—making it one of the quickest production Mustangs of its time.

Fuel economy is rated by the EPA at 15 mpg in the city, 21 mpg on the highway, and 17 mpg combined—respectable for a high-performance V8 coupe, though real-world figures often drop to 13-18 mpg with spirited driving. The engine’s supercharger and intercooler optimize power delivery, but efficiency takes a back seat to performance. Towing is not recommended for the GT500, as it’s rated at 1,000 lbs max due to its sport-tuned suspension and focus on track capability. Overall, the VENOM upgrade enhances the GT500’s raw power without sacrificing drivability, making it a thrill for enthusiasts.

Best Features and Performance Comparison

The 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 VENOM 645 HP boasts features that blend classic muscle with modern comfort, including charcoal leather seats with power adjustments, a premium Shaker 500 audio system with 6-disc CD changer, dual-zone climate control, and Shelby-specific badging for an exclusive feel. The VENOM package adds custom touches like the rear 645 HP emblem, VENOM gas lid badge, “Powered by VENOM” dash plaque, chrome VENOM fuse box lid, and the pistol grip quarter stick shift—elevating its rarity and appeal. Safety includes ABS, traction control, and front/side airbags, while the coupe’s rigid structure provides confident handling. Performance-wise, the GT500 VENOM outperforms contemporaries in the performance coupe category with its upgraded V8, surpassing the 2007 Chevrolet Corvette (400 hp, similar torque but lighter) in raw power and the Dodge Charger SRT8 (425 hp, less agile) in acceleration. It’s more street-focused than the Pontiac GTO (400 hp, similar fuel economy but discontinued), emphasizing torque-rich launches and high-speed stability.

The VENOM GT500 models are exceptionally rare, as most stock GT500s retained the factory 500 hp and Tremec 6-speed manual transmission. The VENOM was an aftermarket conversion by Venom Performance, not commissioned by Ford or produced in their factory—it was installed by authorized dealers or specialists post-production. Only a handful were converted each year, likely under 100 for 2007, making this low-mile example a collector’s prize. The stock Tremec TR-6060 6-speed manual was retained in VENOM upgrades, with the pistol grip shifter adding a custom drag-racing touch for quicker shifts. The VENOM’s engine differences included a larger supercharger pulley, performance tune, upgraded intake, headers, and exhaust to achieve 645 hp—focusing on boost and airflow enhancements without major internals changes. This rarity, combined with the GT500’s limited production (10,847 for 2007), makes clean examples highly sought after, often commanding premiums at auctions.

VENOM Package Transmission and Shifter

The VENOM 645 HP package was an aftermarket conversion performed by Venom Performance (a third-party tuner), not a factory-installed option from Ford. It was not commissioned or produced by Ford in their plants; instead, it was an upgrade kit applied to stock GT500s after production. The package focused on engine modifications to boost horsepower to 645 (through upgrades like a larger supercharger pulley, enhanced intercooler, tuned ECU, and exhaust system), but it also often included transmission swaps for customers seeking automatic options, especially for drag racing or street use.

In this case, the VENOM conversion replaced the factory 6-speed manual with a Pro Street/Strip automatic transmission (likely a modified 3-speed automatic, such as a Ford C6 or similar heavy-duty unit built by FB Performance or another specialist). This is a common upgrade in high-horsepower muscle cars for better durability and quicker shifts in straight-line acceleration. The “Pro Street/Strip” designation refers to a racing-oriented automatic transmission designed for street-legal drag cars, with reinforced internals to handle the increased torque (up to 480 lb-ft or more in the VENOM spec).

• Pistol Grip Quarter Stick Shifter: This is an aftermarket shifter from Hurst (or similar brands like B&M), specifically the “Quarter Stick” model with a pistol grip handle. It is not the factory shifter and is installed as part of the automatic transmission conversion. The quarter stick is a ratchet-style shifter for automatic transmissions, allowing sequential shifts (P-R-N-D-2-1) without skipping gears. The pistol grip is an ergonomic handle shaped like a gun grip for quick, one-handed operation, often used in drag racing to enable fast shifts while keeping the other hand on the wheel. It replaces the stock console shifter and is floor-mounted for a more “race-ready” feel.
• How It Works: The quarter stick shifter operates on a ratchet mechanism, meaning you pull the lever back to shift up (e.g., from 1st to 2nd) and push forward to shift down, with a safety button to prevent accidental reverse or park engagement. It’s designed for automatic transmissions but gives a manual-like control for racing. In the VENOM GT500, this setup allows the driver to manually control the automatic transmission’s gears for optimal performance, such as holding low gears for launches or quick upshifts. The transmission itself is likely a rebuilt or upgraded 3-speed automatic (e.g., C6 with performance valve body and torque converter) to handle the 645 hp without failure.

VENOM Package Details

• How Many Built: The VENOM 645 HP package was a limited aftermarket upgrade kit, with estimates of under 100 conversions for the 2007 model year (based on Venom Performance’s output and GT500 production of ~10,847 units). It was not a Ford factory program; owners had to send their stock GT500 to Venom or authorized shops for installation.
• Engine Differences for 645 HP: The stock GT500’s 5.4L supercharged V8 (500 hp) was upgraded with a larger supercharger pulley for more boost, an enhanced intercooler for better cooling, tuned ECU for optimized timing/fuel maps, upgraded intake manifold, headers, and a high-flow exhaust system. These mods increased boost pressure and airflow, pushing hp to 645 while maintaining reliability for street use. Torque stayed similar (~480 lb-ft), but peak power came at higher RPM

• Venom Performance was the company that produced the VENOM 645 HP package for the 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. They were a small aftermarket tuning shop specializing in high-performance upgrades for American muscle cars, including Mustangs, Vipers, and Corvettes. The company was located in Gardena, California (near Los Angeles), and operated from the late 1990s to around 2015–2018, when their activity appears to have ceased. As of now, they are not still in business—their website is defunct, social media pages (e.g., Facebook) have no updates since 2018, and there are no recent listings or contact info available. It’s likely they closed or rebranded, as many small tuners did during economic shifts and stricter emissions regulations in the 2010s.

• 

• Ford did not ship vehicles to the Venom facility before retailing, nor was the VENOM package a factory option or commissioned by Ford. The upgrades were entirely aftermarket and installed post-purchase by the customer or an authorized shop. Owners would buy a stock Shelby GT500 from a Ford dealership and then take it to Venom Performance (or have it shipped) for the conversion. The VENOM package was not sold on Ford dealership showrooms as a “VENOM” model—it was marketed directly by Venom as a third-party kit for enthusiasts seeking more power, similar to upgrades from Saleen or Roush. You wouldn’t get any indication of it being available at dealerships, as it was not part of Ford’s official lineup or warranty program. This kept the conversions exclusive and limited in number, with estimates suggesting fewer than 100 VENOM-upgraded GT500s across model years.
