==Shouldn't the 2010 model go AFTER the 2008-09 model?????==

==BIAS DETECTED ON GT500?==

The last part of this article sounds really opinionated. Sure it got all the fact, but the tone is really pathetic it sounds really biased.

:I disagree.  It is what it is.  The rest of the article can be argued as being biased going the other way.  This piece actually balances out the article.  One cannot expect everything to be positive.  There are always negative components to anything; and they should be laid out to present a full and complete picture.  Also, the last part of the article is FACTUAL.

::Note this thread is about the GT500 section. I am not complaining about the accuracy about GT500's perfomance, BUT the way the article is written is just bad, it is so unprofessional and deeply biased. It seems it was written by a Chevy Fan saying that "boohoo you can't beat our Corvette".

::" This makes the $42,000.00 price tag hard to swallow." - WTF is this?? this is a good example of bad encyclopedia writing.  Besides Corvette cost $44,000 (according to Chevy offical website) and it only seats 2 ( another one in the trunk because the trunk is so friggin big). If $42,000 price tag is true, Shelby GT500 is a decent buy and it seats 4 and you got a lot of room to move around. Do you really expect a sports car that is based on a cheap coupe to beat a fiberglass clad Corvette?  Take note that the Shelby GT500 is heavier, more inferior suspension setup, and higher centre of gravity. 

::"Car & Driver put the Shelby GT500 up against the Corvette (not Z06) and could only get 12.9 sec quarter-mile while the Corvette ran a 12.8." - I dont see the problem here, I dont know why someone is  making a huge deal about GT500 performance. Besides Corvette's advantage is only 1-3 seconds advantage. Sure the price is est. $42,000 roughly similar to Corvette but GT500 seats 4 and based on a mainstream car! Now lets make a comparisson a $200,000 Bentley vs a $60,000 a Viper! 

::"Early test performances recently published in the standard periodicals have NOT been very flattering" - Another bad one. It sounds like written by a 16 year old girl. 

::Really I don't know where to start the GT500's section is so poorly written, it should win a Darwin awards.

:::[[Wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages|Be bold]] and fix it instead of sitting around here complaining.  I've removed the section in question because it is so POV.  I'm copying the text below, so the original author or another editor can give it a POV rewrite.

::::Early test performances recently published in the standard periodicals have NOT been very flattering.  Even with all the horsepower it seems the GT500 can't get much better than a 12.9 sec quarter-mile ET.  Car & Driver put the Shelby GT500 up against the Corvette (not Z06) and could only get 12.9 sec quarter-mile while the Corvette ran a 12.8. Road & Track magazine could muster only a 13.1 quarter-mile out of the Shelby GT500. It seems the weight of the car is really causing less than ideal performance issues. With a driver the GT500 coupe weighs in at nearly 4100 lbs.  The 2003 or 2004 Cobra by contrast can usually get mid 12 sec quarter miles ET's with an average HP dyno measured rating of 430.  There seems to be too much hype concentrated on the HP rating and not enough on the actual performance characteristics of the car.  This makes the $42,000.00 price tag hard to swallow.

:::I'm not doubting that the information in the above section is true, as the GT500 does suffer from some severe disadvantages compared to the Corvette.  However, it's very poorly written and drags the entire article down.

:::Note that in my edit summary I said that the above was unsourced, and I was wrong about that.  Sorry, it references Car & Driver and Road & Track.  It is still badly in need of a rewrite. [[User:TomTheHand|TomTheHand]] 18:23, 13 June 2006 (UTC)


:::: I stressed that I have NO problem about the  accuracy of performance figures and I seen the Car and Driver article and I agree with it. I stand on my argument that the GT500 article is biased. I would like to fix it myself, but I dont like giving someone a surprises. I have to let them know that the article needs to be revise (POV-wise) (Reference - http://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/11151/2007-ford-mustang-shelby-gt500.html)

:::::I understand what you're saying, but don't worry about it - Wikipedia guidelines say to [[Wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages|be bold]].  It's a good idea to check the talk page before making a big change, because there may be a discussion already in progress, but otherwise just do it.  If the person who wrote the section in question has a problem with your edits, you two can discuss it on the talk page, but your default action should be to go ahead and make the changes you feel need to be made. [[User:TomTheHand|TomTheHand]] 19:08, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

You guys sound like a bunch of whiners.  The facts are indisputable.  Just read the articles in the SOURCES sited.  If someone wants to say the same thing differently; that is fine but, the tests are NOT going to change no matter what verbiage is used.  The fact that a 2003 or 2004 cobra is going to smoke the shelby is also NOT going to change.  Come on guys it is what is no sense in ignoring the facts.

I suggest we compromise and let someone reword the section keeping the facts in place since they are correct.[[User:FrankWilliams|FrankWilliams]] 19:28, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

:I believe that's what's already been said: that the facts are fine but the section is badly written and unencyclopedic.  I've read the Car & Driver article, and it has a lot of good things to say about the GT500, so you've managed to write something incredibly biased from a nice, neutral article.  I would ask that you refrain from [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks|personal attacks]] in the future. [[User:TomTheHand|TomTheHand]] 19:44, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I believe that what you said was different than what you did.  In the discussion page you alluded to revising the section.  In actuality you DELETED the section. User 138.162.5.13 added the section back.  As a compromise between the two parties I volunteered to "Rewrite" the section.  I don't think it was user 138.162.5.13 intent to personally attack anyone.  I read through the discussions and the other users were a bit reactionary.  Just my two cents. [[User:FrankWilliams|FrankWilliams]] 19:24, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

:I moved the section to the talk page because it was so full of POV and original research that I felt the article would be better without it.  The only facts it contained were the quarter mile time and curb weight, and the rest of it was your personal rant and interpretation.  You can't cite a source that describes a car as "the best bang for the buck around" and say that its $42,000 price is hard to swallow.  I moved it here because I thought that you might like to use it as a basis for a NPOV rewrite.  I thought that user 138.162.5.13 was you, and I apologize for not realizing the distinction.  However, "you guys sound like a bunch of whiners" is a personal attack and is not appropriate for Wikipedia. [[User:TomTheHand|TomTheHand]] 19:49, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Agreed.  If you look at the discussion log it was user 138.162.5.13 that made those remarks for the record.[[User:FrankWilliams|FrankWilliams]] 21:39, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

:I understand.  Thanks for pointing it out, and I apologize for accusing you of making personal attacks. [[User:TomTheHand|TomTheHand]] 21:40, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

GT500 displaces 11.6L of atmosphere, why don't we count superchargers displacing air
14.7psia is about the air pressure @sea level
5.8L @14.7psia is not the same as 5.8L @30psia. GT500 has 15psig(30psia) of boost doubling it's displacement
I have all the math and proof it has 15psi boost but someone who is a fan of ford will delete this if i try to add it, even though it is completely true

also the testers stated GT500 would only win 3 laps out of a thousand against ZL1, so how is that winning when no race track in the world only goes for a couple of laps

==Porsche==

In the section 1966 it is stated : "Most people would agree that Honda's are better."

Can someone explain this to me, as I can't find a reference to Honda in the article. Editing error perhaps?

Why dosent this encyclopedia have anything of the details on this car, such as horse power, as 500 is not relevent to the car, and the materials used to make the body

==Quarter mile times by Major magazines==

Just to comment, those quarter mile times by the majors are pathetic. I watched a GT500 go down a crappy track yesterday and do a 13.5 on the guy's first DRAG RUN IN HIS LIFE EVER. He hasn't even driven a stick in 7 years! How Motor Trend can only get a 13.1 with that car is beyond me. They suck, I could do a flat 13 in that car no problem, and I'm pretty inexperienced. Somebody with skills (i.e. a driver from an actual drag racing magazine, or team) could get that car into the low 12s no problem a la Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords, with their 12.2s run. [[User:70.29.190.17|70.29.190.17]] 17:14, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

==Performance facts==

I removed the following paragraph due to several untrue statements:

:''"The heavy iron [[cylinder block|block]] V8, with supercharger and water-to-air [[intercooler]], shift the weight bias further forward than the standard Mustang GT (57/43%; front/rear), but the car is said to handle predictably and ride comfortably. According to ''Car & Driver'', the Corvette was deemed to be a better performance vehicle based on the tests performed, but found the Shelby to be more practical, and to offer a more comfortable ride, and stated that the Shelby offered the "best [overall] bang for the buck around." One of the considerations for the for Car & Drivers statement was based on the top end speed test conducted at the same time. The Shelby attained 155 mph (Electronically limited) while the Corvette reached 186 mph."''

Besides the fact that none of this has been properly cited (please use [[Template:Cite journal]] to do so), a very recent ''Car and Driver'' article (January 2007) has stated facts that disagree with many of these numbers. I have made sure to place a proper magazine citation in the article as a real resource. Thoughts?

==Little technical information?==

Sorry, this is only a sugestion but i found little tecnical information about the Shelbys , the history is OK and great details, but i didnt find any info about what engine and how many HP and torque each produced, only adding those two data would improve the quality IMHO

==Disputed Sentence==
The sentence: "The GT500 is the best bang for your buck around, but for pure performance at the price, there’s a better alternative" seems very non-sensical to me.  How can the shelby be the "best bang for the buck" but for the price there are better alternatives. ??????  This needs to either be deleted or changed around. I would normally do the edit but for the life of me I really don't understand what the intent of the sentence was.  Any help?? [[User:FrankWilliams|FrankWilliams]] 13:58, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Its a quote from the auto media article. This car is the best bang for the buck in terms of hp, number of seats, enjoyment, ownership experience, etc. Its obvious someone has inserted some weasel words there. [[User:CJ DUB|CJ DUB]] 14:46, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Well if that's what the sentence is attempting to convey I think it needs to be deleted as the statement is:

*C.  An opinion not a fact.

==Article Contributions==
I totally revamped the section of the article regarding the 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 by adding the car's specifications and performance figures. I hope this can resolve the dispute over its capabilities. I also added a section regarding Carroll Shelby's collaboration with Unique Performance on the GT500E.

According to the edit history as far as I can tell, there has not been a 1967 section.

==School Project==
Hi, everyone. I am an international student from USC. I am doing a school project for the WIKIPEDIA and I chose the section "Shelby GT350" to be my project since I have been a fan of Shelby since long time ago. Anyway, I updated and add third paragraph under the "Shelby GT350" last week. The paragraph was going to be the Shelby GT350 road test based on the Motor Trend, but someone just removed the paragraph after two days. However, I am international and I am new for WIKIPEDIA. I am here to ask everyone's help. I am going to add the paragraph back again, and if you have any suggestions or improvement you went me to make; just let me know instead of remove the paragraph.

==Photo Advisory==

Caution should be exercised when posting photos of vehicles where the license plate (vehicle's registration tag) is visible.  If the vehicle is owned by a rental agency, permission may be needed by that agency.  If privately owned, the plate may be subjected to criminal abuse.  It would be advisable to have the plate "blurred" or covered up, or to even take the photo without the plate visible.

==Improperly Labeled Picture==

I don't edit Wikipedia or anything but I noticed the picture labeled as a "2007-2009 Shelby Cobra Mustang convertible" isn't one. Many things are different than a GT500, like the hood, rims, rear wing, hood pins, front fascia, front grille, and side scoops. The only things identifying it as a GT500 are the cobra emblems on the side. This might be Shelby's newest project, the CS6 or CS8, I don't really know, but I do know that it's not a GT500. I would fix this myself but I really don't know how. Someone should either find out what it really is or remove it.

A N/A engine displaces Atmosphere, a supercharged engine displaces Boost and must be converted to atmosphere, as superchargers add to an engines displacement by displacing air(AKA positive displacement, Forced Induction)


GT500 has 5.8L of mechanical piston displacement & 2.3L of mechanical supercharger displacement. Both compress & displace air.
Many times supercharger turns faster than the crankshaft, creating more boost, increasing atmosphere & Effective displacement by causing the engine to displace more air per Revolution.

What is engine displacement? how much atmosphere(14.7psia) an engine moves per 4cycles of all the pistons

*Volume is adversely proportionate to pressure, so you can't tell displacement without a set pressure of atmosphere(14.7psia @Sea Level)
Displacement can be noted in Volume of atmosphere displaced for supercharged engines. For N/A they already use atmosphere
atmosphere is about 14.7psia @sea level but we will round to 15 for ease.
5.8L @15psia would be 5.8L of air(atmosphere(15psia)) being displaced.
GT500 has 15psi boost meaning 5.8L @30psi = 11.6L@15psia or 11.6L of air.
5.8L@30psia is NOT equal to 5.8L@15psi.


Increasing boost to approximately 15 psi, the equivalent of two atmospheres, is sufficient to effectively double an engine's displacement along with a corresponding horsepower increase
http://www.hotbikeweb.com/tech/0903_hbkp_turbos_nitrous_superchargers/viewall.html


Any Cylinder getting 15psi of Boost(30psia) instead of N/A atmosphere(15psia) is moving(displacing) twice as much air.
Any air going into an engine is being displaced, air going into the supercharger @atmosphere(14.7psi) will have to displace 11.6L of air(14.7psia) to get 30psia into 5.8L of volume.
Supercharger BOOST/PRESSURE is created by DISPLACING AIR. for GT500 that is 2.3L turning about five times per 2 turns of the crankshaft.

Exercises: Does GT500 engine need twice as much fuel as a 5.8L N/A, keeping the stoichiometric ratio within limit proves the engine must be displacing twice a much, raising air pressure does not lower fuel ratio requirements.
*Does a supercharger agitate the air and magically make the fuel more potent a fuel source or does it increase displacement, more air = more fuel.
*If a supercharger compresses air it is a stage of the entire engine.
*are superchargers called positive displacement for a reason.
*You CANNOT compress 5.8L of air to 30psia and still get 5.8L of volume.
*supercharged engines need to lower compression ratio because they are displacing more air.

Thermal inefficiency is made up by the fact a supercharger scavenges without needing valve overlap.
GT500 exhaust valve open to atmosphere leaving 14.7psia in the chamber but when the intake opens to 30psia air flows in, half of the chamber has been scavenged.
GT500 9:1 compression means 5.8L would have a .64L combustion chamber, half(.32L) has been scavenged making up for 5.55% of thermal expansion on the kelvin scale.

either a supercharger increases displacement or you believe a supercharger creates black holes from 15psi of boost then air gets accelerated to near the speed of light falling into the black hole to gain mass and have more energy. In the universe you don't get something from nothing. There is no magic way to increase the air going through an engines without it being displaced

If not explain ONE SCIENTIFIC PROCESS that would cause a supercharger's actions to make more HP in any other way than increasing displacement.

an engine’s ability to make power is directly proportionate to the amount of air and fuel that can be brought into the combustion chamber.
Supercharger increases the displacement or “blows” more air into the engine. This is called “forced induction,” <ref>www.houseofpower.com.au/index.php/performance/</ref>

Simplest way to understand it: 
Put 15psi(absolute) in 5L
you are displacing 5L of atmosphere
Put 30psi(absolute) in 5L. That's 1atmosphere Boosted 15psi + 15psi
you are displacing 10L of atmosphere
Any engines pulling in 15psi Boost(30psia) instead of N/A atmosphere(15psia) is moving twice as much air
30psia is twice as much as 15psia

<b>In one week i will being including the effective engine displacement of GT500 in the article, you have one week to get a more accurate number.
ALL i need to source is GT500 15psi boost & piston's mechanical displacement to prove it's effective displacement.

11.6L is much closer to correct than 5.8L which is near to being 100% incorrect.</b>
*a supercharger is a compressor, an engine is a compressor, when rating a 2stage compressor, you don't just count one compressor!

I look forward to a discussion, but i guess i didn't get it, just non stop delete with no reference to prove my references wrong

== ALL GT500 engines made in 2000 ARE Modular FORDS ==

The GT500 engines are Ford Modular engines. The engine design is created by Ford and the design is their intellectual property. 
Ford chose Honsel to cast the blocks but Ford is still the owner of the Modular design. The GT500 Modular engine is designed by Ford engineers, and that is what designates the GT500 block as a Ford Modular. Who they hire to cast the blocks does not change the GT500 engine is a Ford engine.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/64.134.147.252|64.134.147.252]] ([[User talk:64.134.147.252|talk]]) 04:18, 8 September 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== GT500 engine displacement ==

Your souce link does not say anything about the GT500 engine displacement being 11.6L just because of the supercharger. 
According to the link to House of Power.com, they only said superchargers can make a smaller engine make the power of a larger engine. It never said it makes the smaller engine grown into a larger engine. 


 Increasing boost to approximately 15 psi, the equivalent of two atmospheres, is sufficient to effectively double an engine's displacement along with a corresponding horsepower increase

GT500 5.8L @15psi boost displaces 5.8L @30psia which equals 11.6L of atmosphere(14.7psia)[[User:XXXVaporXXX|XXXVaporXXX]] ([[User talk:XXXVaporXXX|talk]]) 07:16, 8 September 2013 (UTC)




Additionally, your link to House of Power is only a brochure to their products. 
An advertiseing page or a home page to a store website is not an appropriate source. 


Just because everything is sold by someone does NOT make a tech article about it a ADVERTISEMENT
There is NOTHING for Sale or SOLD on that website[[User:XXXVaporXXX|XXXVaporXXX]] ([[User talk:XXXVaporXXX|talk]]) 07:16, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Superchargers displace air, aka how superchargers work

A technical paper about products that are for sale, does not mean the website sells them. THIS WEBPAGES WAS NOT AND HAS NEVER BEEN A STORE  <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:XXXVaporXXX|XXXVaporXXX]] ([[User talk:XXXVaporXXX|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/XXXVaporXXX|contribs]]) 05:17, 8 September 2013 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

"approximately 15 psi, the equivalent of two atmospheres, is sufficient to effectively double an engine's displacement"

"supercharger increases the displacement or “blows” more air into the engine.  This is called “forced induction"
Quoted from
http://www.houseofpower.com.au/index.php/performance/

15psi AKA 30psia is twice as much as N/A(15psia)
Math not feelings


Would you like a link on how to do MATH

5.8L with 15psig boost is 5.8L@30psia

5.8L@30psia is 11.6L of atmosphere. Atmosphere is what engines displace

''My uncle's brother tested this car in Germany (at the Nordschleife), and it completed in under 7:20.000. Guess what? It completed in just 7:13.547 (100% stock)!''

''BTW, it was tested in normal condition and by a professional driver. :D''
