More Details: Ford says the 2007 Shelby Cobra GT500 Mustang is the most powerful factory built Mustang in history, more powerful than the 1969 Mach 1 428 Super Cobra Jet or even the legendary 1969 Boss 429. Just make an offer!!

Ford is calling the car a unique collaboration between the legend Carroll Shelby and the Ford Special Vehicle Team, SVT. Each engine is hand built and signed by the technicicians on the engine.

Shelby, who built the legendary Shelby Mustangs and Shelby Cobras in the 1960s, served as a senior advisor to the "Dream Team" that was assembled inside the Ford Motor Company to develop and build the 2007 Ford GT 500 supercar.

The Shelby supercharged 5.4 liter, 32 valve V8 is similar to the engine in the GT. Ford started with the cast iron 5.4 liter Triton V8 truck engine and added aluminum heads from the GT, specially calibrated camshafts, a Roots type supercharger making 8.5 pounds of boost, and a water to air intercooler.

Under that blower is an all new low profile intake manifold, which allows the engine to fit under the GT500s special air extraction hood. Fuel comes from a dual bore electronic throttle body borrowed from Fords 6.8 liter truck engine program, however, the larger radiator, increased capacity cooling system and the exhaust manifolds are unique to this application.

The engine is also dressed with special "Powered by SVT" finned cam covers which are reminiscent of the "Cobra Powered By Ford" covers used by Shelby five decades ago, and its backed by the same T 56 six speed that appeared in the supercharged 2003 SVT Mustang Cobra.

Fords SVT signature chassis has refined tuning with a balanced, performance ride that still maintains the compliance required for everyday driving. And Ford says it accomplished these goals, with the GT500s MacPherson strut front suspension and three link rear suspension, which locates a solid rear axle.

The Mustangs solid rear axle setup in the GT500 has been proven in race competition with a Mustang FR500C taking the checkered flag at the season opening Grand Am Cup race at Daytona.

The GT500s suspension is lower than a Mustang GTs, and uses recalibrated front and rear shocks, upgraded front and rear stabilizer bars and revised spring rates. The key to the GT500s three link architecture is the Panhard rod that provides precise control over the rear axle. It is centrally located and fastened to the upper front end of the differential, while trailing arms are located near each end of the axle.

It all rolls on 19 by 9.5 inch wheels wrapped in massive tires measuring 255 45ZR19. And the brakes are equally impressive. The Brembo front rotors are 14 inches in diameter, cross drilled and clamped by four piston aluminum calipers. In back it has 13 inch rotors and four piston calipers.

According to Ford, the GT500 show car, which debuted at the New York auto show in March, points to a brand new era in Ford Motor Companys performance future.
