The New Shelby GT350


Yeah, the only problem with that is your coffee cup sitting in the console needs to be half empty or youll be cleaning up the mess. ;-))
 
When I broke my right wrist, Im fully functional to shift left handed and steer with the knee, no cup holder needed.
 
SVTperformance speculates as to whether new GT350 is in production:

prototype.. hard to believe cars are going threw production when no one can order one and pricing hasnt even been released yet
 
Showcars? For touring the country. As soon as winter lets it's grip loose on most of the country!
 
 
Wow, well done Ford. Nice Recaros.

Anybody have an idea on production numbers? What about the R?

This may be a stupid question but I'm not a Ford expert like a lot of you guys. Does this mean the GT500 is dead (for now)? So by 2016 what Mustang models will there be? Will they be making the GT350 for the next 10 years like they have the GT500?
 
 
I would still love to know what the car might weigh.
I wonder if this 5.2 could drop right into my 2013?

Hope springs eternal….

I am somewhat amazed at how this subject continues to surface. It is unlikely you can take this 5.2L engine out of a GT350 and be pleased with the outcome.

This is not your regular “type” engine and generates a number of new/unique NVH characteristics which have been specifically addressed by the Ford designers in the GT350 application. As Jamal stated in his interview, not sure if it will ever be offered as a crate engine.
 
Dave Pericak said the same in the Autoline video Cobrar posted.

According to another site, Ford's Jims Owens said the GT350 will have over the magic 100hp/liter.
 
That's good but I am not sure why that level might be said to be "magic".

Certainly a threshold to achieve but from recent memory Ford has done this before.

FGT (550hp)/5.4L = 102 hp/L
GT500 (662hp)/5.8L = 114 hp/L
FGT new (600+hp)/3.5L = 171 hp/L

And GM may have done this as well, but I do not follow these engines. Perhaps others do.

And the new 5.2L is a real screamer and likely as you point out based on historical data to be released at 520+ hp.
 
Magical when it's naturally aspirated. Ford, Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche is pretty much it.
 
Bill, all the engines you mentioned are forced induction. 100hp/liter for a NA motor is impressive for a fully warrantied street car in the price range of the GT350. When I was growing up 100hp/liter was the stuff of legend.

Edit: Dave beat me to the response.

Also, I can't think of any other domestic NA production engines that have had 100hp/liter.

Be reasonable. Steam could only get you so much power.
 
8,000 hp

Throw in BMW with the E60 M5. 4.4L with 500hp.

The E60 was the 5.0 500hp motor which does qualify. The new F10 has the new 4.4 turbocharged motor.
 
2009 Ariel Atom. NA 3 liter, 500bhp = 167 hp/liter.
