The 2010 Shelby GT500 does the Mustang Name Proud
The Ford Mustang is perhaps the most famous sport coupe in the world. It comes in many forms, from a moderately priced V6 to an incredibly powerful supercharged V8, called the Shelby GT500. The Mustang in any form is a comfortable, fun, and fast car. The Shelby GT500 is, in fact, the most comfortable, most fun, and fastest of the Mustang line-up.
The 2010 Base Mustang comes with a 210-horsepower V6 engine connected to a 5-speed transmission. The 2010 Mustang GT has a 315-horsepower V8 engine and a 5-speed transmission. The 2010 Shelby GT500 comes with the 5.4 Liter, 32 Valve, Supercharged V8 engine, complete with a whopping 540 horsepower, and a 6-speed transmission, giving it enough power to outrun a 2010 2SS Camaro.
The 2010 GT500′s engine has a 90.2mm bore. It has a 105.8mm Stroke, and an 8.4:1 compression ratio. It has a double-overhead cam, and four valves per cylinder. This is indeed a powerful engine, having 40 more horsepower than the 2009 model. The engine cranks out 510 ft lbs of torque at 4,500 rpm.
The new Shelby GT500′s transmission is also an upgrade from last year. It is still a 6-speed with the same first through fourth gears, but the fifth gear has been changed from .8 to .74, while the sixth has been changed from .63 to .5. The new gears allow the 2010 Shelby GT500 to perform at a lower rpm than earlier models, increasing efficiency. The car now gets an impressive 21 mpg on the highway.
The Mustang is a car that will not be uncomfortable on the drag strip. From the classic 1964 Mustang, with its 260 cubic inch engine, to the 514 cubic inch Super-Mustangs built by both professional and amateur muscle car fanatics, the Mustang has always been one of the most beloved cars on the market. The 2010 Shelby GT500 does the Mustang name proud.
