2011 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 order guide leaked?

For whatever reason, all the latest Mustang news has been leaked on internet forums before anybody else gets it. It makes sense, as the best discussions and sources for info (real or fake) can be found on these social gateways of the interwebs.

The latest tidbit comes to us courtesy of ModularFords.com. One of the members there has posted an order guide for the 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang. Most interestingly, the document (if it is real) confirms that an aluminum block replaces the old iron block in the new Shelby.

There are many other nice revelations, such as standard HID lights, 19 inch wheels for the convertible, and an SVT Performance Package. The package adds 3:73 gears, stiffer shocks and springs, staggered 19 inch in front and 20 inch in back wheels, and a Gurney flapped rear spoiler.

Head over to the thread at ModularFords to see the document in it's entirety.

2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 order guide leaked online

At the 2010 Mustang's debut in L.A., Mark Fields told the crowd that "another chapter in the Mustang story" would be revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January. With all sorts of camouflaged Shelby GT500's running around Detroit, the assumption is the next generation GT will be the "next chapter."



While Ford has not announced any details about the new Shelby or when it will be released, a leaked order guide posted on MustangBlog.com confirms that the car will be produced as a 2010 model and reveals some details about the new car.



In addition to the new sheetmetal, the Shelby benefits from 19 inch wheels, while the convertible gets 18 inchers. The car will come equipped with an aluminum hood complete with a power dome and a single functional heat extractor.



The supercharged 5.4L remains, but power levels are unknown. A 3.55 ratio is now standard, and the suspension is tuned by SVT. An optional electronics package provides voice activated navigation and and dual climate control. The leather seats will feature a stripe that color coordinates with the exterior stripes as well as Alcantera accents. New exterior colors will correspond with the standard 2010 Mustang and include Grabber Blue, Kona Blue, Sterling Grey, and more.
