2007 Shelby GT 500 - Test Drive
|
This is what we've all been waiting for: a supercharged Four-Valve 5.4between the fenders of the Mustang. Sure, the iron-block 5.4 adds moreweight to the car's front, but the potential lurking inside an 8.5:1 5.4that sports only 9 pounds of boost from the factory is immense. TheEaton M112H blower is more efficient than the blower found on theTerminator, so simple pulley swaps should be more efficacious, thoughthis pulley is a press-on too. Ford uses petroleum jelly to ease thepulley's installation, and this lube burns off during the hot testing ofthe car, so the pulleys are likely to give fits coming off. We're surethe rewards will outweigh the struggle. The M122H is considered ahybrid, hence the "H," as it features sixth-generation rotors in afifth-generation case. For more on the blower, check out our drive ofthe GT 500 prototype back in the February issue. Likewise, the enginemanagement is a step up from even the Spanish Oak fare in the '05-'06Mustangs. The GT 500 is run by Silver Oak with a faster processor and aunique calibration for a blown 5.4. View Related Article
