Ford Car Talk

When the 2010 GT500 Ford Mustang was release in January, it was just a matter of time before motorsports firm Shelby Automobiles toys with it. During the recent Mid America Ford car show in Oklahoma, Shelby unveiled the blue Mustang in blue equipped with the Super Snake 725hp package.

Shelby fixed a supercharged to the donated coupe and boosted the power of the DOHC V8 5.4L engine to 725hp. Their mechanics also tweaked the car with better radiator and intercooler, JBA exhaust system, and cold air intake.

The Ford tuner company also produced a tamer 630hp variant which uses Borla exhaust instead of the JBA.

Adjustable dampers were also installed to provide the ride with better handling. This came with stiffer springs, tougher anti-roll bar, and some tower brace for the front strut. The Super Snake deal also comes with customized 20-inch rims in combo with P-Zero Perelli rubbers.

When Ford officials said that the future of Ford Mustang will be revealed during the Detroit Auto Show, there is nothing to think about but the unveiling of the 2010 Ford Mustang GT500.

The new Ford Mustang GT 500 definitely will make a presence in the event knowing that it is the most powerful Mustang to come into production as of today.

The road bully will have a power plant similar to the 2008 GT500KR limited edition which sports a supercharged V8 5.4L engine that can leave any soul behind with its output of 540 horsepower at 6200 rpm and a torque of 510 lb-ft at 4500 rpm.
