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

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 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 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!

There are some things in life, things you have the opportunity to experience, that can change your perspective and desires. When you first hit that age where you notice girls and become infatuated with your first love, for example. Or the day your first child is born and you know above all else that because of you this beautiful baby has a life. I ran into one of these life changing situations the other day, where I know, no matter what I do, I can never go back. Continue reading →
