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, if we didn't mention you sorry we'll get around to it, that we often talk to and who have helped us along our way.]]> http://txgarage.com/day5-shelby-gt500/feed 1 http://txgarage.com/day4-shelby-gt500 http://txgarage.com/day4-shelby-gt500#comments Fri, 29 Jan 2010 00:27:15 +0000 adam_txGarage http://txgarage.com/?p=1199

 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...]]> http://txgarage.com/day4-shelby-gt500/feed 4 http://txgarage.com/day3-shelby-gt500 http://txgarage.com/day3-shelby-gt500#comments Thu, 28 Jan 2010 01:45:32 +0000 adam_txGarage http://txgarage.com/?p=1192

On day three we too 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.]]> http://txgarage.com/day3-shelby-gt500/feed 1 http://txgarage.com/day2-shelby-gt500 http://txgarage.com/day2-shelby-gt500#comments Tue, 26 Jan 2010 07:26:35 +0000 adam_txGarage http://txgarage.com/?p=1188

 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.]]> http://txgarage.com/day2-shelby-gt500/feed 3 http://txgarage.com/day1-2010-shelby-gt500 http://txgarage.com/day1-2010-shelby-gt500#comments Mon, 25 Jan 2010 15:03:19 +0000 adam_txGarage http://txgarage.com/?p=1183
