Ultimate Muscle Car - 2011 Ford Shelby
Let’s face it there are two types of car buyers: sensible individuals who just need something to get them to and from their daily destinations and automotive enthusiasts who forge a romance with their vehicles. For decades the Ford Mustang has been owned and loved by the ‘enthusiasts’ group and as the Ford Motor Company continues to make improvements on this beloved American icon the romance continues.
The old GT500 version of the Ford Mustang proved to be a favorite among car aficionados. All dressed up for 2011 is the New Ford Shelby, with a 5.4 liter aluminum engine and an astounding 550-hp. Not only is the 5.4 liter engine back after many years, but the all new GT 500 is lighter and more importantly faster. A lighter structure, enhanced horsepower and awesome speed are a great combination for a muscle car. Plus this version is enhanced by SVT Performance and additional suspension components. This new 2011 Ford Shelby also gets lightweight wheels with better performing rubber.
The 2011 Shelby GT500 is 100 pounds lighter than the 2010 model and weighs in at a slight 3820 lbs. . A 57/43 front to rear weight distribution marks better overall weight spread and a more stable ride. This is close to Ferrari territory, all coming from a car with a gigantic 5.0 liter V-8 engine under the hood. Speaking of the engine lets crack this puppy open. Most significantly the engine block is not made of aluminum rather than 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 transferred to the pavement through a 3.37 limited-slip rear end.
Supercharged muscle cars deliver performance times and the 2011 Ford Shelby is no exception. The 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 can clip off 0-60 MPH in the low 4-second range. The ¼ mile drag is conquered in 12 seconds flat at 115 MPH. All this and a price point of around $50,000. This kind of performance has only been seen in cars costing twice as much like a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Remarkably this new Shelby also gets good gas milage! With an surprising 15 MPG city and 23 MPG hwy, the 2011 Shelby GT500 side steps the extra gas tax imposed on gas guzzling sports cars. These are phenomenal numbers considering you have 540 horses available under your foot.
As far as safety goes the GT500 has front and side curtain airbags. The NTHSA and the IIHS both gave the new Shelby good scores on crash test safety. These are the two governing bodies on 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. In addition to the peace of mind these safety measures serve up a 60 month/60,00 mile warranty is standard with all new models.
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!
