The 2011 Ford Shelby Mustang GT 500 Meets Will Rogers in Bartlesville Oklahoma

Will Rogers at 155mph- I understand that at 155-mph that the divided white line down the center of the Will Rogers Turnpike appears to change to a solid white line. Is that Fact or Fiction? Before I can answer that let me introduce a special team.

Ford’s High Performance SWAT team– the Service Vehicle Team–”SVT”.  So now back to the Fact or Fiction 155mph question. That answer starts right here. Ford has assembled a talented team of high  performance  engineers with a unique DNA.  Their DNA is a braid of performance, style, speed, and pure class that they inject into everything they touch. This handpicked Ford Performance Vehicle Design SWAT team has their own moniker the Special Vehicle Team or “SVT” for short.

A Current Example of their Talent: The 2011Ford Shelby Mustang GT 500. For instance they have injected this DNA braid into the  2011 Ford Shelby Mustang GT 500. There is no other car that can measure up to the Shelby Mustang in its price range. I think the vehicle is actually underpriced. You get a lot more than you pay for. You could say this is due to their lean, tough and smart design philosophy.

The Speed Daemon-This Car is Fast!   From a dead standstill to 155mph not only does the illusion of the solid white occur as you close in on the 155mph mark, it does so amazingly quick. If I reavealed how quick -I might be breaking the law!

Onward!…..Why the 2011 Ford Shelby Mustang GT 500 is intoxicating. One reason of many the performance and speed is intoxicating lies with the SVT’s  talent in developing an all aluminum-block engine. This aluminum engine dropped 120 pounds as compared to its 2010  predecessor. Combine  this with the boost in horsepower to 550 the results for brute  power and speed are reaching obscene levels.  With this in your driveway you will have the  hottest car in the neighborhood, if not the entire city.

Say Goodbye to the Gas Guzzler Tax. Nifty trick here. Add more speed and power and at the same time increase the gas mileage. They figured a way to squeeze a few more miles per gallon thus abolishing the gas guzzler tax. The weight loss combined with the introduction of electric steering has for one improved the feel of the road. The beast is easier to handle on tight curvy roads.

But wait there is more!!! What in the world is electric steering? Electric Steerings is invisble to the operator but a marvel because of all the benefits it brings to your driving enjoyment.                                                                                  

Let me explain.                                  

Electric Power Steering Eliminates:

1. The old fashioned steering pump that sucks up to 10 horsepower.
2. Hoses, leaks and grinding. No longer do you have to buy power steering fluid or check for leaks.
3. All that extra weight due to the pump, hoses, brackets and the harness is jettisoned. This adds not only to your fuel economy it just makes the car faster.
4. The extra noise decibel level brought on by the hydraulics of a mechanical power steering system. You benefit from a surprisingly quite ride. Now just sit back and enjoy the quite roar and hum of the 5.4L 550hp power plant.

Here are two short videos that give you a bird’s view of the 2011 Ford Shelby Mustang GT 500

Have you ever been in a dealership and read something about torque but really have never understood what 400 or 500 pounds of torque really mean?  If so go check out these two sources. The short and sweet version is here .  http://largiader.com/articles/torque.html

Horsepower=Speed.Torque=acceleration and towing ability. A car could have 500HP and 100 torque. It would accelerate from 0-60mph in 10 seconds, but reach 180mph. A car could have 100HP and 500 lbs torque. would accelerate from 0-60mph in under 4 seconds, but only reach 110mph.    

 When you go to  http://largiader.com/articles/torque.html  Bruce Augenstein explains in detail how torque works.
