The Windy City hosts the largest auto show in North America
2011 Ford Shelby GT500
What it is: The king of the
Mustangs, now with an all-aluminum 5.4-liter V8 that weighs 102 pounds
less and makes 10 more horses.
What’s New: With 550
horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, the 2011 Shelby GT500 is the
most potent production Mustang ever. Fuel economy is also up one mpg
both city and highway, doing away with the gas guzzler tax. The
convertible is stiffer thanks to additional body bracing. An SVT
Performance Package improves the handling even more.
Bottom Line: Adding power and
reducing weight are two of the best ways to improve performance. If the
new electric power steering works as well as Ford says it does, this
will be the best Mustang yet.
