Vehicle Description
The second-generation Shelby GT500 appeared for the 2007 model
year, exactly forty years after the original GT500 debuted in 1967.
This was no coincidence as Ford had styled the S197 generation
Mustang to recall the classic good looks of the 67-70' Mustang
fastbacks, the Ford SVT team just took the ball and ran it into the
endzone for a touchdown. The new generation of GT500 was not just a
sticker and stripes job, it was every bit the performance car that
the original was. In place of the standard 300hp 4.6L V-8 in the
GT, Ford installed a hand built 5.4L, four-cam, 32 valve V8 that
breathed 8.5psi of pressurized air from a roots style supercharger.
All this added up to a nice round 500HP, a 200 horsepower increase
over the GT, and made the 2007 GT500 the most powerful Mustang Ford
had produced to that date. This monster mod motor was bolted
exclusively to a TR6060 six speed manual transmission and fed power
back to a Ford 8.8-inch rear solid axle with a specific 3.31 gear
set. Chassis upgrades consisted of Tokico gas shocks and struts, a
lower ride height, bigger sway bars front and rear, and a chassis
brace in the engine compartment. Front brakes are huge 14 Brembo
with four piston calipers while out back are 11.8 single piston
discs. Staggered Goodyear Eagle F1 supercar tires help to put the
power down to the pavement but can easily be overwhelmed with a
mash of the throttle. This is a true driver's car, and it rewards
the enthusiast driver with an experience that usually only comes in
a much higher price range. The GT500 you see on offer here is a
very well maintained, low mile beauty that causes envious stares
and thumbs up from passersby. Equipped with the best color
combination available this year and matching red and black seats,
this GT500 has the race cars looks and the performance to back it
up. The exhaust note from the dual exhaust system in a melodious
burble at idle that turns into a ferocious bark as the revs rise.
The whine from the supercharger is a like a sirens call and you
will be entranced by it as the RPMs race to the 6,000rpm redline.
This supercharged V8 revs so fast that you can get caught out so
the thoughtful engineers at SVT installed a flashing red SVT shift
light in the cluster and an audible alarm to tell you when to
shift. This GT500 would make ol' Shell' a happy man, but it would
make the new buyer truly ecstatic to be behind the wheel. Contact
