2010 Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang Revealed

True but at least its looking good now.

yeahh, it does look abit better than the current one

Can there please be a news about an American car that doesn't involve discussion and negative comments about its nationality? Is it too much to ask?

I'm sorry. That was not in reply to your comment. I was intending to reply to attesa45.

yeah but... the mustang needs a supercharger and increased engine size to obtain 540 hp. Naturally aspirated, now that takes a bit more engineering/better quality materials. Redline @ 6,250 rpm? Weak! Mustang = over hyped looks before performance. Forget the fake hood scoops, the retarded barrel racing stripes, retro styling, and teach it how to turn a corner then maybe we'll talk.

Actually, its reported as 4.2s, but you know, whatever. And yeah, you can have a super high revving NA engine, but why would you? Sure you get high peak power, but no torque, and you have to ring its neck to get the power. For day to day driving, thats tiring. It might be harder to ring more power out of a NA engine, doesn't make it better.

NA is better than Inducted for reliability purposes, also the performance is more constant. Induced is better for performance figures, i mean if you take the same engine in NA and Inducted it will never have better performance. Sure u can get 550hp NA out of an LS7 and u can get the same with a S/C but if you take that 550hp NA engine and then throw a S/C ontop it will be in the 700s. Also there are 2 ways of making power, pump in more gas, or pump in colder and more air, seeing how air is still free it is more fuel efficient to build a small engine which uses very little fuel but has a turbo and sucks in lots of air to compensate. Long story short each has their advantages and disadvantages, all depends on what the purpose of the engine is.

Radmeister thats not right. All engines need to run with a near constant air fuel ratio. More power comes from the efficient burning of more fuel, period. Thus in a forced induction engine, a turbo or supercharged pumps more air into the cylinders, and the car responds by pumping more fuel in to keep the air fuel mixture near constant to ensure a stoichiometric mixture, thus ensuring that there is sufficient air to burn the fuel completely and minimise harmful emissions caused by burning too hot or too cold. So a 2L turbo with 1 bar of boost will have (theoretically) the same amount of air in its cylinders as a 4L engine, thus producing more power and torque. Where turbo engines become more efficient is when you are cruising and don't require much power from the engine. During these low rpm periods, the turbo or supercharged will not generate much boost, allowing the engine to inject less fuel, resulting in an engine thats close to NA in fuel consumption and power, during those periods. NA might produce more linear power, but for everyday driving, you want a lot of low rpm torque so you don't have to reach high into the rev range all the time.
