Shelby wants to know what you want from them, shows new models including twin turbo GT500

After announcing that they would be focusing more on producing parts than entire cars, Shelby built a brand new speed shop in Las Vegas and has brought its manufacturing in house. And now they have posted a query on their website asking what you want from the company going forward. In the process, they have proposed a few new models including a V6 Mustang and a twin turbo Shelby GT500.

The twin turbo GT500 is code named 2010-04a, and features a setup that promises to exceed 1000 horsepower (at the wheels) and is based on the 2009 and prior model. Other goodies include an adjustable suspension to lay that power to the pavement, a 10 point roll cage, and a widebody kit.

The V6 Mustang is perhaps a model that is long overdue, as the sixer is actually a very potent motor in itself and the majority of Mustang sales feature the smaller powerplant underhood. This car is tentatively called the Shelby GTS, and is already a working prototype. The package features a number of visual upgrades and figures to cost between $9,000 and $12,000.

In addition to these two models, there are a pair of other concepts on the Shelby American site, as well as a repop Cobra concept.

DUB Edition Mustang now available, priced at $3,599

We got a glimpse of one of the first special edition 2011 Mustangs back in May when Ford showed us the DUB Edition package. Unlike most aftermarket focused Mustangs, the DUB is based on the V6 model, and sports a good number of body bits and pieces to give it a unique look.

In addition to the aero bits, the car features 20 inch wheels, lowering springs, 3:31rear gears, and some other niceties. The DUB Edition will be available next week at Ford dealers nationwide, starting with a launch party at Galpin Ford in Van Nuys California this weekend. Pricing is a very reasonable $3,599 plus $100 for shipping.

Roush supercharger for Coyote 5.0 now available

Hot on the heels of Ford Racing's own pair of superchargers comes the latest power adder for the 2011 Mustang GT, the ROUSHcharger by none other than Roush. The Roush setup is based on the TVS2300 setup, which replaces the Eaton M90, was first seen on the P-51A Mustang and is now available to everyone with deep enough pockets.

The 90mm pulley brings boost up to 7 psi, and the supercharger features 47 lb. fuel injectors, high-flow fuel rails, a high-flow ROUSH air lid, and a twin 60mm throttle body. The kit boosts horsepower to around 550 with 470 lb-ft of torque, and can be had for a suggested retail price of $5,999.

Press Release

LIVONIA, Mich. (August 26, 2010) – Since the day Ford announced the new 5.0L engine for the 2011 Mustang, people have been asking, "What is ROUSH® going to do with that engine? When will the ROUSHcharger® be available?"

The answer to those questions is finally available. ROUSH has engineered a 5.0L ROUSHcharger Tuner Kit that can boost the horsepower on the 2011 Mustang upwards of 550 horsepower on stock pump gasoline with more than 470 lb.-ft. of torque. This 5.0L ROUSHcharger Tuner Kit (part number 421140) has a suggested retail price of $5,999.00 and is available for shipment now.

Many people got their first look at the 5.0L ROUSHcharger in the ROUSH display at Mustang Alley during the Woodward Dream Cruise. The display car got many double takes as people walked by, looked, and then realized that car was, in fact, a 2011 Mustang with a ROUSHcharger installed.

Based on the popular TVS2300 ROUSHcharger, the 5.0L ROUSHcharger Tuner Kit comes with a 90mm pulley and generates an estimated seven pounds of boost. Included in the kit are 47 lb. fuel injectors, high-flow fuel rails, a high-flow ROUSH air lid, and a twin 60mm throttle body. The heavy-duty ROUSH tensioner is included for the first FEAD belt.

This Tuner Kit includes a 90-day parts warranty, but does not come with a calibration or maintain the Ford factory engine warranty. Professional tuning and installation is recommended.

"While the new Ford five-liter engine offers amazing performance right from the factory, and the new ROUSHcharger will kick it up a level," said Jack Roush, motorsports legend and chairman of ROUSH Enterprises. "Our engineering team has worked hard to deliver a product that will satisfy the demands of the ROUSH customer on an extremely tight deadline, and they have come up with another great solution for a powertrain upgrade."

Orders for the 5.0L ROUSHcharger Tuner Kit are now being accepted by calling 1-800-59-ROUSH. Information can be found online at www.ROUSHperformance.com.

There will be a 5.0L ROUSHcharger Kit available this fall that will come complete with a ROUSH calibration and full warranty. Pricing and details to come.
