65 Mustang Hood
2011 Shelby GT500 – Ford’s Ferrari
Let’s face it car buyers come in two varieties: sensible individuals who just need something to get them to and from their daily destinations and car fanatics who forge a romance with their vehicles. For decades the Ford Mustang has been owned and treasured by the ‘enthusiasts’ group and as the Ford Motor Company continues to improve upon this adored American icon the romance continues.
The old GT500 version of the Ford Mustang proved to be a favorite among car aficionados. Now 2011 marks the return of the 5.4 liter aluminum engine. Huge power numbers will make your head spin at 550 horsepower. In addition to the return of the 5.4 liter engine, the all new Shelby GT 500 is lighter and much faster than previous models. A lighter structure, enhanced horsepower and awesome speed are a great combination for a muscle car. In addition this model comes tuned by SVT Performance which added components to the suspension. Lightweight wheels and better performing rubber complete the 2011 Ford Shelby package.
The 2011 Shelby GT500 is 100 pounds lighter than the 2010 model and weighs in at a slight 3820 lbs. . Also the weight is better distributed at 57/43 front to rear weight distribution. With a monsterous 5.0 liter V-8 engine under the hood, the 2011 Shelby is nearing Ferrari territory. Speaking of the engine lets crack this puppy open. Most significantly the engine block is not made of aluminum instead of iron. Aluminum is not only lighter but it distributes heat more quickly, making the engine block much more efficient. . Why is heat important? Well, the 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 has a big supercharger sting on top of the engine. The Shelby also has DOHC which control 32 valves for effectively moving air and exhaust out of the cylinder. Out back the 550 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque is distributed to the road through a 3.37 limited-slip rear end.
Performance times are what you would expect to see from a Supercharged Muscle car! The 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 can clip off 0-60 MPH in the low four second range. The ¼ mile drag is conquered in 12 seconds flat at 115 MPH. This all from a car costing $50,000. Till now, this level of performance was reserved for the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini. Believe it or not the car gets good gas mileage. With an amazing 15 MPG city and 23 MPG hwy, the 2011 Shelby GT500 avoides the extra gas tax imposed on gas guzzling sports cars. These are phenomenal numbers considering you have 540 Horsepower available under your foot.
For safety, the GT500 has front and side curtain airbags to protect driver and passenger alike. This Shelby also received good score on crash safety from not only the NTHSA but also the IIHS. These are the two governing bodies on crash test safety and data in the U.S. Outstanding traction control to avoid spinouts and dependable stability control to avoid collisions were two of the top reasons for the high marks by both departments. And a 60 month/60,00 mile warranty is standard.
The 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 is well within reach of Mustang enthusiasts at $50,000. And if the last few years of sales numbers are any indicator; you should see a Shelby GT500 prowling the streets near you. Oh and the sport stripes are awesome!
