A twin turbo 5.0 with 600+ hp sounds pretty nice!

8cd03gro · 06-08-2011, 06:17 PM

I have been waiting for a turbo v8 pony car. Win.

Apex Chase · 06-08-2011, 07:00 PM

Love it.

brandotron · 06-08-2011, 07:15 PM

That would be interesting

KXRM · 06-08-2011, 07:34 PM

If they twin turbo charged the 5.0 I might have to consider that my next car.

This article says they found this Shelby GT500 testing around the Nurburgring in Germany. Sounds familiar to the ZL1's testing. Hope GM responds and owns them the following year!

Thanks for the link Demon..

Me and others have been saying this all along. But folks insist on a stroked/bored 5.4 to 5.8L..

Here's the article if u don't want to follow the link..

"Ford is expected to unleash a new Shelby GT500 around 2013 and various reports have suggested anything from a 5.8-liter supercharged V8 to a twin-turbocharged version of the company’s new 5.0-liter V8.

Today, our spies managed to capture a current-gen GT500 testing at the famed Nurburgring that suggest a turbocharged unit could ultimately find its way under the hood of the next Shelby GT500. If you look closely, you will notice the addition of what appears to be an extended intercooler in the vehicle’s left foglamp housing rather than the lamp itself.
By contrast, the opposite side features a simple tape coverup, likely intended to give the appearance of the same darkened area created by the removal of the bulb and housing for the left side. Furthermore, it appears additional cooling lines – possibly an extension of an intercooler system – are visible in the upper grille area.
Given the continual push toward more fuel-efficient vehicles due to rising fuel prices and more stringent CAFE standards, it makes sense that Ford and Shelby would opt for a presumably more efficient 5.0-liter V8 than a traditionally supercharged large displacement V8. "

I'll post a couple pics.. Guess this answers the previous crap on that hideous scoop lol..

Sure would be an interesting combination, but lets put it into a SVT Cobra instead of a Shelby GT500.

Crowley · 06-09-2011, 08:07 AM

Turbo 5.0 .. sign me up!!

28. · 06-09-2011, 08:08 AM

I agree with u on that Newmoon.. Always liked the SVT tag on them better.. I know Shelby has a very strong following, but after the 03/04 terminators I just love the SVT's that much more.

newmoon · 06-09-2011, 08:49 AM

SVT makes it a Ford, Shelby GT 500 makes it a Shelby, I like Ford better

*radz28* · 06-09-2011, 08:54 AM

That'd be pretty sick, honestly. I'm not really a turbo guy, but that sounds like some technology to take notice of! Interesting to see it at the 'Ring, though.

chain777 · 06-09-2011, 09:10 AM

The beauty of twin turbo is more power but still good CAFE numbers. Not to mention tune-ability.

win - win

Shardik2SS · 06-09-2011, 09:54 AM

Wish I had the coin to buy this when it arrives. I would love to have this and my SS side by side in the garage.

This Shelby looks alright dont get me wrong. But I would still rather have either a ZL1 Camaro or better yet why not wait for the new C7 Corvette that is going to have a new Twin Turbo Charged Mid Engined V8 that rivals Lamborghini and Ferrari and looks good doing it.

Is that a done deal..?

I'd like to have my V6, SS, ZL1, and this sitting in a garage, but I also love to dream.

I would honestly take this over the ZL1 and a TT Vette would be way out of my price range with the way the Vettes are priced.

Well there is an article on yahoo right now talking about the new C7 Corvette saying it is going to be a mid engined twin turbo charged V8 but that there will be other engine options available as well if you dont want the turbo charged one. It says in the article that Chevrolet is looking to take more customers away from Ferrari and Lamborghini and are doing everything they can to compete with them and be faster.

Is the TT GT500???

Having said that.

TT GT500 = HAWT!!!

Blue Maro Demon · 06-09-2011, 12:48 PM

Chevrolet will just turbo charge the Camaro too...They are already talking about the new twin turbo V8 Corvette engine going into the Camaro eventually and this has been in the news waaaay before Ford even had glimpses of a Shelby with one.

those rear tires still look pretty slim....

That seems to be the norm for the GT500 though. It needs to have some 305s in the rear.
