Day7: 2010 Shelby GT500
Day 7 2010 Shelby GT500
Day 7 with the 2010 Shelby GT500 was by far the most fun we had all week. We worked hard and tried to get lots of video and pictures of the car to show to you guys. As we talk about in the video, after tearing up the streets of Texas for a week in the GT500 we were never faced with an obstacle that the car couldn’t handle. Ford, SVT, and Shelby have made a great car with this one and we cant wait to check out the 2011 GT500 with the all aluminum block!
Till then, check out our video! › Continue reading
Review: 2010 Shelby GT500
2010 Shelby GT500
When you think about the history of Carroll Shelby, his racing, and his cars, there is no doubt that performance Mustangs pop into mind. As a matter of fact, Shelby Mustangs have been ever improving for the past 45 years making Shelby one of the most signed names on a car in the world. Carroll graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in Dallas, Texas making him a Texas boy who’s heart never went to far from home. The Terlingua Mustang was named after the town where Shelby decided to open a ranch with Dallas friend David Witt. › Continue reading
Day5: Shelby GT500
Day5 Shelby GT500
Today we went from rain to freezing weather to snow here in Dallas and unfortunately didn’t get the chance to shoot any video of the GT500 today. What I thought I would do, though, is take some time and relate our thoughts on the GT500 now that we have had 5 days behind the wheel. We also give a big shout out to some local guys in the car fanatic realm that we often talk to and who have helped us along our way. If we didn’t mention you, sorry we’ll get around to it!

Day4 Shelby GT500
Day4 Shelby GT500
Day 4 was pretty miserable out as it was raining all day long. The rain, though, gave us the opportunity to check out two features on the car that we have yet to discuss. The first of those would be the traction control system. The system works pretty well and will catch you pretty quickly if you become a little stupid in the rain. You would have to be driving stupidly to really engage the traction control system though as this 540 horsepower beast is actually quite good in the rain. Don’t get me wrong though, if your right foot and your nerves are strong you can most certainly have some fun with the traction control disengaged. › Continue reading
Day3 Shelby GT500
Day3 2010 Shelby GT500
On day three, we took the GT500 out cruising a little more and finally produced some day shots of the car so that you can enjoy the beauty as much as we do. Today we are talking about power! The 2010 GT500 has the same 5.4 liter engine as the previous generation but thanks to some tweeks by the SVT guys this car now produces 540 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. The engine is matched with a six speed, manual only, transmission and sits atop 19 inch wheels all around. Wrapping those wheels are Goodyear Eagle F1 rubber that helps keep that power on the road pushing this car from 0-60 in 4.3 seconds. The car also has a special package from Brembo that brings this beast to a halt with no fade.

Day2: Shelby GT500
Day2 2010 Shelby GT500
Day two with the 2010 Shelby GT500 has not left us disappointed. We have gotten lots of driving time behind the wheel and are enamored by the power and beauty of this car. The interior is comfortable and a nice place to be, even on a long drive. The one complaint I would have with sitting in the car is that you cant enjoy the artistry of the exterior. No matter if you are outside or in though, there is no escaping the whining of the supercharged 5.4 liter engine or the burble of the exhaust out back.
Just remember, this is only day 2 so keep checking in for even more video and information on the 2010 Shelby GT500!
