The 2016 Shelby GT350 is a modern marvel, with magnetic dampers as well as a flat plane crank to reduce engine weight, this Shelby is the most advanced Mustang to date. The heart of the new Shelby will be Fords all-new 5.2 – liter N/A engine capable of an impressive 500 hp and over 400lb ft of torque.

ReplyDeleteTrade your Mustang in on that, the monthly payment shouldn't be more than a fortune.......... :)
DeleteHmm... A Mustang with a 318 cubic inch engine. I wonder if it has a hemispheric head?
ReplyDeleteAll kidding aside, a 500 HP normally aspirated V-8 will be needed for the 3800 lb Mustang. It will be quicker than the current offerings and offer a good challenge to the SRT and Z28. The first generation Mustang only weighed 2500 lbs so it only needs a 330 hp engine to equal the HP to weight ratio for the proposed New Shelby GT350. I hope Ford puts it on a serious diet of carbon fiber and aluminum to shed at least 800 pounds. Get rid of all of the excess weight and please put an independent rear suspension under it.
The 318 family has been around since the dawn of time, it seems like.

I believe my fastback was more than the coupe in weight and the Hi-Po motor was nice.
