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.

The other important area we really got the chance to sit back and reflect on is the interior of the car. With all the horsepower and great exhaust noises, we haven’t payed that much attention to the interior of the car but got that chance today. Traditionally, the Mustang has a horrible interior that is carried over into the SVT or Shelby cars. In 2010, the interior is where they spend most of their focus, making it more upscale and better quality. This quality is carried over into the GT500 with even more racing inspired quality to boot! Just look at the leather wrapped steering wheel with alcantara added for extra grippiness. The all important SYNC system is a great upscale quality in this car as well as the great Shaker audio system. The seats are two tone leather, also with alcantara added to the bolstering to help grip you in your seats. The ambient lighting around your feet and doors helps set a mood and look really good. And lastly the shift knob, it has a great feel and great movement and was specially designed for this car.

Check out the video and let us know what you think. Keep checking in for day 5-7 and go back and watch days 1 – 2 – 3 if you haven’t already.

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!
