Vehicle Description
With its great color combination and adrenaline-inducing
performance that must be experienced firsthand to be truly
appreciated, this 2009 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is an ultrasharp
example of the iconic Mustang in optimized form. Having logged an
unusually low 10,000 miles since it first left the factory, it's
also in its absolute mechanical prime and stands ready to deliver
an unbeatable driving experience for its next lucky owner.
Mustangs that have been fortunate enough to receive the Shelby
treatment emerge with an aesthetic that's far more dynamic than any
of their more common counterparts, resulting in curb appeal that's
eye-catching and yet always tasteful. Each modification Shelby
makes has its purpose and the Vapor Silver Metallic exterior that
this '09 wears provides the perfect backdrop for all of them - the
paint is in top form, with a great shine from front to back.
Despite the obvious temptation that this rocket on wheels offers
for extreme driving, it has steered clear of any collisions, so its
exterior alignment is beyond reproach and its doors and hood shut
with a reassuring thud. Take a closer look and you'll notice just
how fresh its overall appearance is - clear window glass and fresh
weatherstripping are strong indications that this car has seen
consistent sheltering over the course of its lifetime.
While Shelby's modifications tend to center largely around
performance enhancement and curb appeal, there's also evidence of
this GT500's top-tier pedigree on display inside the doors. The
sport bucket seats, along with the special edition steering wheel,
bear the instantly recognizable Shelby logo and the upholstery in
both front and back still features the deep pigmentation it left
the factory with. A low-profile shift lever sits within easy reach
on the transmission tunnel, surrounded by an unblemished center
console, and the dash cap immediately above it is straight and
clean. Comfort and convenience amenities include air conditioning
that blows nice and cold, power seats, power door locks, windows
and mirrors, and cruise control. Front and side airbags provide
collision protection, and an anti-theft system helps deter anyone
with bad intentions. A Shaker 500 AM/FM/CD stereo is on hand to
offer a premium audio experience.
Of course, any Shelby carries lofty performance expectations and
this GT500 more than meets them. It's powered by a 5.4-liter
supercharged V8 that wields elite power, churning out 500
horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque to deliver a 0-60 time in
the mid-4 second range. The engine sits in a well-maintained
compartment, with nothing out of place, and belts, hoses, and wires
that look nice and fresh, and it pairs with a 6-speed T56 manual
transmission to deliver an exhilarating, hands-on driving
experience. When it's time to come to a stop, this enhanced Mustang
features 4-wheel ABS power disc brakes with Brembo four-piston
calipers up front, so it can get it done in a hurry - Motor Week
noted that it only took 130 feet to go from 60 to 0 when it tested
the car upon its release. Top-tier suspension components equip this
car with excellent handling, but its agility doesn't come at the
expense of ride quality - unlike many of its rivals with strong
skidpad ability, it's a pleasure to drive in everyday conditions.
This head-turner par excellence rolls on a set of 18" SVT wheels
that are wrapped with Goodyear Eagle F1 tires still showing plenty
of tread.
Exceptional power and tasteful, stare-inducing looks make this 2009
Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 a definite must-see. Call today!
