2010 Mustang Quarter Mile Times

October 23rd, 2009



More Muscle Than Ever For The New 2011 Ford Shelby GT500

Many car lovers admired the old GT500 model of the Ford Mustang.Now 2011 marks the anticipated return of the 5.four liter aluminum engine.  Huge power numbers will make your head spin at 550 horsepower.  The all new GT500 is a lot more lightweight and faster and best of all, the 5.4 liter engine is finally back after all these long years.These are all great qualities in a classic muscle car.SVT Performance has graciously added components to the car’s suspension.This new Shelby also utilizes lighter wheels with superior performing rubber.

The solid Shelby packs in a heavy 3820 lbs which is 100 pounds lighter than the 2010 model.  Also the weight is better distributed at 57/43 front to rear weight distribution.  This is near Ferrari territory, all coming from a car with a gigantic 5.0 liter V-8 engine under the hood.Let’s see what’s going on underneath the hood of this car.It is important to note that the engine block is not made of aluminum instead of iron.  The aluminum block is not only lighter, but it can distribute heat easier.Want to know why this is important??The 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 has a huge supercharger sting on top of the engine.  The Shelby also has DOHC which control 32 valves for efficiently moving air and exhaust out of the cylinder.Out back the 550 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque is transferred to the pavement through a 3.37 limited-slip rear end.

Performance times are what you would hope to see out of a Supercharged Muscle car!  The 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 can clip off 0-60 MPH in the low 4-second range.  The ¼ mile drag is over in 12 seconds flat at 115 MPH.  This all from a car costing $50,000.Usually this level of excellence can only be seen in autos costing twice as much such as the Ferrari.This car is also very fuel efficient for its size. This car gets fifteen miles per gallon and twenty three miles per gallon on the freeway and avoids the extra gas tax imposed on gas guzzlers.Considering that you have 540 horsepower at your toes, these are all excellent numbers.

Many safety features are included in the shelby, including front and side airbags.  This This vehicle also received excellent scores on crash tests from both the NTHSA and the IIHS.These are the two entities in charge of crash test safety and data in the U.S.  One reason for the good score is the addition of traction control which helps to avoid spinouts and stability control which helps to avoid accidents.  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 zooming down the freeway.  If you love muscle cars take a look at the all new 2011 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500
