The 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 is a highly rated and powerful sports car from the fifth generation of Mustangs. This model carries a formidable supercharged 5.4-liter V8 engine with 550 horsepower, and 510 lb-ft of torque, mated to a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission. The rear-wheel-drive coupe boasts improvements over its predecessor including an all-aluminum engine reducing the weight by more than 100 pounds. It features Ford’s AdvanceTrac electronic stability control system which enhances safety. The GT500 comes packed with tech amenities like Ford’s SYNC system offering voice-activated controls, Bluetooth, and navigation. A notable change for 2011 is the switch from a dual-disc clutch to a single-disc unit for better engagement and reduced pedal effort.
