Description:
Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas directs your viewing attention to this menacing 2008 Ford Shelby GT500, a masterpiece of American muscle and engineering prowess. This stunning vehicle boasts a sleek Vapor Metallic exterior, accented with a pair of broad Black stripes that run from front to back. It’s a great color scheme that’s attention-getting without being over the top, as this definitely isn’t a car that needs help attracting attention. Shelby’s iconic design features complement its aggressive stance and bold presence.
The mere mention of the Shelby name conjures up images of smoking rubber and exhilarating acceleration and this 2008 delivers on that expectation. Lurking beneath its striped hood is a 5.4 liter supercharged V8 that’s good for 500 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. The engine is mated to a 6-speed TR-6060 transmission that’s ideally geared to take full advantage of its performance and yet still offers a civilized driving experience in a variety of conditions. When Motor Trend tested the 2008 Mustang Shelby GT5000 upon its release, it clocked a 4.3 0-60 time and yet its .63 sixth gear ratio brings nice, low revs on the highway. Aftermarket trailing arms – that’s the well-chosen add-on we mentioned earlier – makes for a bind-free suspension that delivers more predictable handling. That’s not to say that this ’08 needed help in that regard – during that same Motor Trend test, it logged a very strong .89g on the skid-pad. Sizable anti-lock Brembo power disc brakes at all four corners bring rapid stops when needed. This Shelby rides on a set of 18″ wheels outfitted with P255/45ZR18 tires in front and stout 275s in back for a nice, strong grip on the asphalt.
The 2008 Ford Shelby GT500 is not just about raw power; it comes equipped with a host of features designed for both convenience and safety. Step inside and you are greeted by a refined black interior, fine crafted to provide support and style. Enjoy the comfort of air conditioning while cruising to your favorite tunes on the AM/FM radio. Safety is paramount with anti-lock brakes, driver and passenger airbags, traction control, and seatbelts. Performance tires ensure optimal grip and handling, while power brakes and power steering provide precise control and responsiveness.
For added convenience, this GT500 includes power locks, power seats, and power windows, allowing for effortless adjustments and ease of use. The history of the Shelby Mustang GT500 adds to its allure. Originally introduced in 1967, the GT500 was a product of the legendary collaboration between Carroll Shelby and Ford. Known for its high performance and racing pedigree, the GT500 quickly became a symbol of American muscle car excellence.
Overall, the Shelby GT500 is a remarkable vehicle that combines historical significance with modern performance and features. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Shelby Mustang and a must-have for any automotive enthusiast.
