Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500
Germany 2007
The 2005 Mustang GT is capable
of performing a quarter-mile
test in 13.5 seconds, with
acceleration from 0-60 mph in
4.9 seconds.[10] Added to the
rear suspension is a
three-linked system which
controls the vertical and
lateral movements of the axle.
All model years of the S-197
Mustang retain a live axle
rear suspension providing the
benefits of reduced cost and
weight over a heavier, more
expensive and complicated
independent rear suspension,
at the expense of more
efficient handling. The
2005-present Mustang GT also
come equipped with a limited
slip differential complete
with the same carbon-fiber
clutch discs used in the
2003-2004 SVT Cobra and the
2007 Shelby GT500. The
differential is designed for
the 31-spline axles and the
8.8' ring gear. The basic V6
model (without the Pony
Package), unlike the V8 GT
model, lacks a rear anti-sway
bar to prevent severe
oversteer on hard
cornering.[11] The 2007
Mustang V6 and GT chassis,
suspension, and body shares
many of the same construction
designs as the GT500. Thicker
sheetmetal support and extra
welds can be found on the 2007
chassis. Re-designed strut
towers on the 2007 Mustang
accommodate the wider 5.4 L 4V
V8 engine in the GT500. The
rear diffuser on the 2007 GT
California Special package
(GT/CS) is also found on the
Shelby GT and GT500.
