// May 2nd, 2009 // No Comments » // Motoring
Garage419′s season finale brings the team to Sonoma California to drive the new toy from the boys at Ford SVT, the Shelby GT500.
According to the Ford Website the muscle behind the New 2010 Shelby GT500 is a supercharged and intercooled 5.4-liter 32-valve V8 engine that’s capable of delivering 540 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine is mated to a quick-shifting and smooth Tremec 6-speed manual transmission. SVT performance-tuned suspension components, unique 18-inch bright machined-aluminum wheels with SVT center cap (convertible) or 19" premium painted wheels (coupe), and sport bucket seats with leather seating surfaces are additional features that push this spectacular vehicle to the forefront of the herd.
I have to admit that this is one of the Muscle Cars that I’m becoming really fond of, not only because of the raw power, but also because every generation seems to bring with it further refinements and improvements which ultimately improve the performance, safety and driver experience.
