Submitted by Kirk Pedersen on Thu, 2009-10-15 13:10

Yesterday we revealed three more cars in the upcoming Need for Speed NITRO, but today, we're kicking it up a notch and blowing eight more out the door for your viewing pleasure. All cars are rated on a 1-5 scale in speed, acceleration, strength, handling and drifting ability.

First, we have one of the most sought-after performance cars on the market today, the new Shelby GT500.
