<div>Much speculation has surrounded the upcoming GT500. While we know a good deal about the Mustang GT and its new 5.0 engine (more so now thanks to a released order guide) Ford has kept mum on the GT500. What engine will it get? How much horsepower? What features will it have?<br />
<br />
Well we have at least some of those answers due to <a href="http://www.mustangheaven.com/info/2011ShelbyGT500-Order-Guide.pdf" target="_blank">another leaked order guide</a> found by <a href="http://www.mustangheaven.com/2010/2011-shelby-gt500-details-come-via-order-guide/" target="_blank">Mustang Heaven</a>. But we still don’t know what kind of power the "new" engine will make.<br />

As much of the speculation suggested though, we now know that the new GT500 will get an aluminum block, something enthusiasts have wanted for awhile. And the engine will not be the 5.0, but the 5.4 liter, though how much it shares in common with the 5.0 we don’t yet know. Nor does the order guide specify how much horsepower it makes, though 550 or more is not unexpected. Plus the aluminum block will drop quite a bit of weight, making the GT500 even faster. <br />
<br />
Though we don’t know the horsepower of the new GT500, we do know it will get several new features unavailable in previous years. It can now be ordered with a glass roof and comes with an HD radio system. But perhaps even bigger than that is the SVT performance package. This package adds a 3.73:1 rear end gear ratio, unique 19” forged aluminum wheels, unique rear shocks, front and rear springs, special stripes, and a unique spoiler with a Dan Gurney flap. We can’t wait to hear how fast the new Shelby will really be.<br />
