2011 Ford Shelby GT500 nearly sold out

 Jul 17th 2010
Filed Under: 2011 Mustang, Ford

It’s no secret once the 2011 Ford Mustang was promised to return with the legendary 5.0-liter V8 that the car and its many Ford variants would sell like ice cream in the Mojave desert.  So what happens when we  have a Mustang coupe with a V6 pumping out over 300hp and a Mustang GT producing over 400hp?  You wonder just how awesome the 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 had to be.

Well, the 550 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque (10 horsepower increase vs model year 2010) equipped 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 is just that–awesome.  It’s so popular (and much better in all ways) that Ford is going to limit the 5,500 production set of the Shelby GT500 to maintain exclusivity of the car.  This is great for would-be 2011 GT500 owners, but not so great if you happen to be the 5,501st person to place your order.  What’s more daunting is that over 3,300 orders have already been filed to date, leaving under half of the production run up for grabs.

So what do you think about this, guys?  Good move (production limitations) by Ford?  Not so good?  Let us hear it in the comments–in the meantime, check out the Press Release from Ford to get the rest of the scoop.

First 2011 Ford Mustang is turbocharged

 Jul 14th 2010
Filed Under: 2011 Mustang, Aftermarket

Well, we all knew it was just a matter of time.  The aftermarket for the late-model Ford Mustang is one of the most carnivorous we’ve ever seen in any automotive spectrum.  The latest tweak from a set of Mustang modification nuts comes in the form of a turbocharger for the all-new 5.0-liter equipped 2011 Ford Mustang GT.  Utilizing a solid platform from Borg Warner, the Fastlane folks tweaked a 2011 GT with the 5.0 V8 to safely pump out over 530 rwhp and 500 rwtq…on a mere 6 to 7 pounds of boost.  That’s awesome!

Keep reading to get all the specifics from the Fastlane Press Release.

2011 Ford Mustang V6 hits 49mpg in 1,000 lap challenge

 Jun 24th 2010
Filed Under: 2011 Mustang, Events, Ford

What happens when you mix a group of die-hard Ford engineers, a renowned oval track, and a bone-stock 2011 Ford Mustang V6?  You get some fine folks out to make a mark in history and put their hooves to the pavement, making history for the legendary pony car.  Most of the time, a Ford Mustang rider is out for pure speed, cornering, lap times, or straight-line bursts of adrenaline.  This time, on June 23rd, 2010, a team of Ford fanatics were out for one thing and one thing only; economy.  Wait.  What?

Yes, the 1,000 mile lap challenge held at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee pitted a base 2011 Mustang against, who else, but itself and its own design & engineering specifications.  The goal: see just how far the V6 Mustang could go on just one tank of fuel.  Well, after over twelve and a half ours after the green flag, the Mustang covered 1,457 laps with an average speed of 43.9 mph and the 16-gallon fuel tank was sipped at a miserly 48.9 mpg.  That’s right, folks–the new Mustang V6, sporting 305hp, was able to eek out compact and sub-compact fuel economy numbers…in a sterile environment.  Either way, who cares?  This just goes to show how well Ford and its team have it together in this latest pony car installment.

Keep reading to catch the official Ford press release as well as a video clip showing some highlights of the 1,000 lap challenge.
