Ford's Special Vehicle Team (SVT) engineers are taking high performance to a new level with the 2011 Ford Shelby GT500, resulting in a car that has an all-new aluminum-block engine, even better driving dynamics and handling, improved fuel economy and more horsepower than ever.

"The SVT team continues to push the performance standards of the Shelby to even higher levels and better refinement," said Jost Capito, director of global performance vehicles and motorsports business development. "All the changes we made reflect a desire for even better handling and outstanding driving dynamics - from weight savings to improved balance."

Edelbrock is excited to announce the release of their E-Force Supercharger system for 2010 Ford Mustangs equipped with a 4.6L 3V (#1582). Based in large part on the existing supercharger for '05-'09 Mustangs, this new kit will allow the 2010 Mustang to produce an impressive 466 HP and 439 ft/lbs of torque with very low boost. This design is engineered and manufactured by Edelbrock and features an Eaton® Twin Vortices Series (TVS®) GEN VI rotor assembly - the same internals used on the new Corvette ZR-1.

The supercharger assembly is integrated into Edelbrock's unique intake manifold for a truly seamless design with minimal components. The intake features 15" long runners for maximum low-end torque and an integrated bypass valve that helps reduce parasitic loss under light throttle, which improves mileage potential. Keeping the air cool is a 110 square inch high capacity air to water intercooler - the largest of its kind available on the market today - and full face low temp heat exchange. A new injection molded high-flow air-box cover keeps the 2010 50-state emissions legal (EO pending). The assembly is finished with a matching set of coil covers uniquely styled to give your engine compartment a custom look.

One of the most appealing aspects of the Ford Mustang is the ease of modifying them to fit the driver's personal needs and tastes.  There is probably no other car available in the United States with such a booming aftermarket, with options to make the car look and run exactly how you want.

As you begin to modify your Mustang to make more power, keep in mind that you want to increase air flow both in and out of the engine and if you modify both ends of the combustion process equally you will see greater gains as you go.  Starting off, the most common and easiest modifications for newer Mustangs are cold air intakes, exhaust systems and 'tuners'. 

Fidanza now offers four different performance clutches for the 05-up Ford Mustang with 26-spline upgrade. Selecting a Fidanza clutch is as easy as matching the vehicle's performance level to driver habits.

Daily driven Mustangs with mild performance upgrades - including a cold air intake, performance exhaust and headers - will benefit from the durable and long lasting 2.1 clutch kit.

Meanwhile, more serious Mustangs performers, like those with an engine management system, might opt for Fidanza's 3.2 clutch - still mindful of its street manners but with Kevlar buttons for better grip and even longer life.

Ford unveiled the 2011 Mustang with the new 3.7L V6 at the Los Angeles auto show late last year but for the debut of their all new 5.0L Mustang GT, they kept the Mustang in its own back yard and introduced the 2011 Mustang GT at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show. There was plenty of information and a few cars to show off the 2011 Mustang base model but the key attraction of the Mustang Alley was the 5.0.

Mustang Alley featured a 2011 Mustang GT with a glass roof turn onto its side, giving everyone a close up look at the engine, interior and undercarriage of the new Mustang. Next to that was a special edition silver V6 Mustang and on the other side, the unveiling of the 2011 Mustang GT California Special. Enclosing the Mustang Alley from the rest of the massive Ford Motor Company display was a long countertop with a variety of interactive displays starting at one end with a simulated ¼-mile dragstrip run and finishing on the other with a video explaining the roots of America's longest running pony car. Between those two areas was a closer look at the gauges, interior options and exhaust system of the 2011 Mustang GT and finally a chance to superimpose a picture of yourself into a spread of unique images of the new Mustang.
