"At the 2010 Ford Mustang debut in Santa Monica, Mark Fields told us that the Blue Oval would reveal "another chapter in the Mustang story" at the Detroit Auto Show next month. If the camouflaged Shelbys running around Motown were anything to go by, the "next chapter" would come in the form of the new GT500. While Ford has yet to officially announce the car or when it will make its debut, a leaked order guide posted on MustangBlog.com confirms that the car will be produced as a 2010 model and reveals new details about the updated Shelby.
In addition to the new-for-2010 sheetmetal, the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 benefits from a set of 19-inch wheels (the convertible gets new 18-inchers) and comes equipped with a new aluminum hood with a power dome and a single functional heat extractor. The supercharged 5.4L V8 remains, and although specific power output is not listed, the new model will offer "increased performance." A 3.55 axle ratio is now standard, and the suspension has been tuned by SVT. Inside, an optional Electronics package provides a voice-activated nav system and dual climate control. The leather seats will feature a stripe that color coordinates with the exterior stripes as well as Alcantera accents. New exterior colors will correspond with the standard 2010 Mustang and include Grabber Blue, Kona Blue, Sterling Grey, and more."
Okay - for anyone who's been around a while, my passion regarding getting a Z28 up-and-going has always pushed me toward madness and drives me crazy that is not practical right now (not that I could likely afford one at the moment) and there are many other more important things and things to be thankful that we have right now. However, I posted this as a kind of rationalization, in my mind, that apparently there is still a market for Z28 (in whatever form) and that if there's another GT500, we may still have a chance in a few years (I hope
). Please - no flaming and please comment strickly on the GT500 and Z28. I'll either delete the thread or merge if it's goes toward the Z28 thread we already have
