![http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2009/01/11/automobiles/autoshow/600-shelby-mustang.jpg](http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2009/01/11/automobiles/autoshow/600-shelby-mustang.jpg) [Ford](http://www.motortrend.com/new_cars/01/ford/index.html) is wasting no time rolling out variations on its perennially popular ponycar, and the restyled and revamped 2010 Ford {{{Shelby GT500}}} aims to trump its newfound competition with 540 hp and 510 lb-ft of [torque](http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/#) – that’s the same 40-horse, 30-lb-ft bump the old GT500KR enjoyed over last year’s GT500. In fact, the engine is little changed from KR duty, although the addition of two knock sensors allows the timing to advance a bit, and a cold-air induction system improves breathing (the intake snorkel’s location in the grille is responsible for moving the Cobra badge to the opposite side). The additional torque allowed SVT to alter the gearing in the Tremec TR6060, using the ultra tall 0.50:1 top gear to help boost [fuel economy](http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/#) slightly, despite a slightly shorter axle ratio (3.55:1 versus 3.31:1). Another welcome upgrade reduces clutch-pedal effort by upsizing the twin-disc clutch from 215 mm to 250 and changing the friction material to an organic compound. The shorter-throw shifter is topped by a true white cue-ball (it’s actually manufactured by a company that makes billiard balls). As before, no automatic transmission is offered. > **[2010 Ford Shelby GT500 - First Photos and Details of the new Ford Shelby GT500...](http://www.motortrend.com/cars/ford/shelby-gt500/2010/2010-ford-shelby-gt500-mustang-first-look/)** > > The revamped 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 aims to trump its competition with 540 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque -- that's the same 40-horse, 30-lb-ft bump the old GT500KR enjoyed over last year's GT500.

im pretty sure this car has closed valve injection during closed loop, and open valve injection during open loop, which is as close to direct injection as you can get in a pfi set up. awesome. ---

I should buy one, store it in a bubble for 30 years, and sell it for 500,000 (or whatever that will equal at that time from inflation) ---
