2009 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

We are pleased to present this beautiful 2009 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 in our MaxMotive Pittsburgh Showroom. Everything is the way it was when it left the factory in Flat Rock, Michigan. The magic 500 horsepower threshold is achieved through its 5.4L modular V8, with aluminum Dual OverHead Cam four-valves-per-cylinder heads sourced from the Ford GT supercar. Team Shelby says these heads were developed specifically for supercharged applications and use high-flow ports and specially calibrated dual-overhead camshafts to deliver optimum engine breathing along with surprisingly good fuel efficiency. On top is an Eaton supercharger and water-to-air intercooler generating 8.5 psi of boost. It produces a broad torque band that peaks at 480 pound-feet. The connecting rods are unique to this engine along with forged pistons to handle the boost. This engine was proudly hand assembled, so in the engine room is a plaque with the technician’s signature. A Tremec T56 6-speed manual is stout enough to live behind 500 horses and provide quick, smooth shifts. The power is transmitted to a 3.31 axle. Vapor Silver Clearcoat Metallic exterior paint and Black LeMans stripes give the car the look of a serious performer. A Shelby rear spoiler teamed with a special front splitter keeps the car planted at speed. The GT500 retains the same Mustang suspension setup used on the Ford Racing FR500C to win the 2005 Grand-Am Cup championship and earn Ford the manufacturers’ title. That means coil-over MacPherson struts in front with lower control arms formed from lightweight I-section steel. In back, there’s a three-link live axle with coil springs, Panhard bar, stabilizer bar, and outboard shocks. Carrol Shelby’s cars are indeed born to run, but you certainly don’t have to drive this car hard to enjoy it. It’s also a great place to relax. Of course it’s air conditioned with power steering and tilt, and the power windows go up or down with just one touch. There’s a Shaker 1000 CD-6 sound system with speed sensor volume control. In the trunk are two big subwoofers that look real mean, to say nothing of the sound. Nice details like leather bucket seats with embossed Cobra emblems, bright aluminum pedal covers, special SVT finned cam covers, and fog lights add an exclusive feel. And when it’s time to slow down, 4-wheel Brembo brakes with 14-inch 4-piston front calipers and 11.8-inch rears ably handle the job. Staggered Goodyear F1 Supercar tires, 255/45ZR18 fronts and 285/40ZR18 rears wrap the original SVT machine-finished aluminum wheels, a tough combination to beat for looks and functionality. It comes with the complete Owners Package including the Mustang Owner’s Guide and the Shelby GT500 Supplement. Here’s a great opportunity for you to own a 2009 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500.
