VIDEO: Ford test-drives the 2011 Mustang GT500 at Virginia International Raceway

What's it like to drive the 2011 Ford Mustang GT500? Watch this video and get a taste.

Ford's Special Vehicle Team engineers recently put this new pony car though its paces at Virginia International Raceway. In this video, you get to sit in the cockpit as one tester flogs the car. Cool, right?

The driver hits better than 140 mph, and there's plenty of engine, road and brake noise to arouse your senses.

It's 3 minutes and 15 seconds of your life worth spending on something very 'Stang.
