2007 Ford Shelby GT500 Auto Show Photo

The 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 is back for a second view at the 2006 Chicago Auto Show. It features a supercharged 32-valve 5.4-liter V-8 is a whopping 475, just 30 short of the Z06, and will be offered in a ragtop version when it goes on sale this summer. The convertible weighs just 125 pounds more than the coupe, and its lid is made of cloth, not vinyl. Other details include a Roots-type blower and wider tires at the rear than up front, a Tremec T56 six-speed manual, Brembo brakes, leather instrument panel cover, and aluminum interior trim. For serious-driver props, its speedo and tach are reversed to give the rev-counter its correct place on the IP.
