The SVT team also worked extensively on the exhaust system of the Shelby GT500's engine ::2011-10-08 06:03:43

First there was the 2011 Ford Mustang V-6. Then came the 2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0. And just when one wondered what more could Ford do with its precocious pony car, along comes the new 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 with an all-new all-aluminum engine "inspired", they say, by the engine from the exotic Ford GT. Ford's Special Vehicle Team made a number of changes to the Mustang-based Shelby, including a stiffer chassis for the convertible that, according to Ford, makes the topless GT500 handle like a sports car instead of a "cruiser." By far the most important new element, however, is the new

The assist levels of Shelby 2012 are less than Mustang models. ::2011-10-08 05:47:24

Maintaining the same base of 2011 Shelby, the members of Ford Special Vehicle team has added many key features for 2012 model.

Ford Shelby GT500 will be available to the public next year!!! ::2011-10-08 05:40:30

The main attraction at this year’s Chicago Auto Show was the new and improved Ford Shelby GT500 which will be available to the public next year. Among the many improvements is a new 5.4-litre aluminum engine to replace the older iron one that also had the same displacement capacity. According to Ford, this helped them shave off 50kg from the car’s gross weight. This new engine outputs 550-hp of power and 510-lb/ft of torque which is 10 more hp of power than the older engine. Power-to-weight ratio of the car will of course be significantly higher than its predecessor. This engine is

Ford GT500s 2011 seem like a dubious combination. ::2011-10-08 05:34:29

Like its lesser V-6 and V-8 siblings, the Mustang's ripsnorting Shelby GT500 variant received its own tweaks for 2011. They're relatively slight, compared with the vastly upgraded drivetrains on the V-6 and V-8 'Stangs. The biggest news is gas mileage: Thanks mostly to new aluminum engine construction, which saves some 100 pounds versus the 2010 GT500's iron-block supercharged V-8, Ford expects the Shelby to earn an EPA rating of 15/23 mpg city/highway. That's up from last year's 14/22 mpg, and it keeps the car from incurring last year's $1,000 gas-guzzler tax. Improved exhaust flow
