If you're a driving enthusiast, you owe a huge debt of gratitude to the Ford Mustang. Once that pony car hit the
market in 1964, affordable and stylish performance was finally in reach for the average American. Even though early
versions weren't exceptionally fast, it didn't take long for Ford to pump the car up with some real muscle. Shortly
after the first 'Stang hit the streets,
Only a few thousand of the original Ford Shelby GT500s were built from 1967-'70, and they've remained very popular
with Mustang enthusiasts and collectors. As expected, the modern version is obviously a much better car in terms of
comfort and overall performance. However, potential buyers of the modern-era GT500 should know that the first few
years of the car were let down by disappointing handling capabilities. Newer GT500s are much more appealing by
virtue of revised suspension tuning and massively more powerful engines.
Current Ford Shelby GT500
The Ford Shelby GT500 is the ultimate performance version of the Mustang and is available in both coupe and
convertible body styles. As the top horse in the stable, it boasts a number of significant upgrades. Chief among
them is an all-aluminum, supercharged 5.8-liter V8 that cranks out 662 horsepower and gives the coupe a top speed
of more than 200 mph (the convertible is electronically limited to 155 mph). That powerhouse is hooked up to a
six-speed manual gearbox and spins the rear tires through a limited-slip solid rear axle. There is also an
adjustable launch control system (allows the driver to select preferred launch rpm) as well as adjustable steering
assist.
Standard feature highlights for the GT500 include 19-inch alloy wheels, Brembo brakes, xenon headlights, leather
sport bucket seats, the Sync multimedia voice-control system and an audio system with a CD player, auxiliary/USB
audio jacks and satellite radio.
Option highlights include a glass roof for the coupe, a navigation system (with HD radio and dual-zone climate
control), an upgraded sound system and a handful of performance packages (should a standard GT500 somehow be
lacking). The latter include such ultra-performance hardware as adjustable Bilstein dampers, even larger Brembo
brakes and separate engine oil, rear differential and transmission cooling systems.
In reviews we've been impressed by this Shelby GT500's incredible performance potential, precise gearbox, crisp
steering response, agile handling, fairly comfortable ride and solid cabin quality. Also making this supercar an
agreeable daily driver are its supportive seats and thoughtful features such as the Sync system and
hard-drive-based navigation system.
Used Ford Shelby GT500 Models
The reincarnated Shelby GT500 debuted for 2007. At the time, its supercharged 5.4-liter V8 had an iron block and
produced 500 hp. Standard front-seat side airbags and optional xenon headlights arrived the following year.

Thu, 05 Dec 2013
It'd be unwise to bet against the sixth generation of this legendary nameplate.
The 2015 Ford Mustang is assuredly the most anticipated new vehicle of the year. The redesigned Pony Car has been the subject of frantic gossiping and covert spy photos covering everything from the way it looks to the tech it will include, its performance, mechanicals and a bevy of other aspects of Ford's performance icon.

Ford Gets The Aluminum F-150 Ready For Prime Time
Wed, Nov 12 2014Russell Barnett, a Ford dealer in Tennessee, is ready for aluminum. Ford is using the metal almost exclusively in body of the 2015 version of its best-selling F-150 pickup, which starts arriving at dealerships next month. Barnett is already answering customers' questions about the truck. And he's updated his repair shop not only for the F-150, but in anticipation that other Ford brands such as the Mustang will eventually make the switch from steel. But, just in case, he ordered some extra steel-bodied 2014 pickups. "There will be some people who won't want to change for a while," says Barnett, who says pickups make up around half of the annual sales at his dealership in rural Winchester. Ford is doubling down on aluminum, which is lighter - and more expensive - than steel but just as tough. The new truck is the company's response to customers' requests for a more fuel-efficient and nimbler pickup. Fordhopes the advantages outweigh customer doubts about the durability of aluminum or potential repair costs for the pricier metal. It's a big risk. So far this year, one out of every three vehicles Ford sold in the U.S. was an F-Series pickup. Morgan Stanley estimates F-Series trucks account for 90 percent of Ford's global automotive profit. On Tuesday, it kicked off production of the new truck at its Dearborn Truck Plant, four miles from the company's headquarters. "Yeah, this is a risk, but it's one well worth taking." said Bill Ford, the company's executive chairman, as he stood alongside the assembly line. "For our customer, this is a big, big leap forward." The trucks have been the best-selling vehicles in the U.S. for 32 straight years; last year, Ford sold nearly 100,000 more full-size pickups than General Motors. Aluminum isn't new to the auto industry, but this is the first time it will cover the entire body of such a high-volume vehicle. Ford made 647,697 F-150 pickups at its two U.S. plants last year; that's one every 49 seconds. If Ford's bet pays off, it could pad its lead in the lucrative truck market. More importantly, aluminum "future proofs" the truck - and the company - in an era of rising fuel economy standards, says Karl Brauer, a senior analyst with Kelley Blue Book. Ford will announce the truck's fuel economy figures later this month. That could determine if it steals customers away from the Silverado or Ram. Truck buyers are among the most loyal in the auto market.
