October 7th, 2010 Whether it's Eleanor you think of when you hear GT350 or the racing greatness of the original Shelby Mustangs, the new 2011 Shelby GT350 should quicken your pulse. If it doesn't, there's a 624-horsepower "R" tune add-on that will do the trick. Yes, it's a Mustang, but don't let that fool you. The standard 525-horsepower supercharged 2011 GT350 scampers to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and runs the quarter-mile in 12 seconds dead at 121.4 mph. It can corner at 1.05 g, and shuts it down from 60 in 107 feet. Opt for the R tune package and you'll get a brawny 624 horsepower out of the supercharged 5.0-liter V-8. Shelby hasn't released performance specs on the new R tune pack, but with another 99 horsepower on tap, it can only be faster. Other upgrades beyond the R tune supercharger include a Watts link rear suspension, track-worthy brakes, and a range of comfort and appearance mods. Those looking to put the GT350 into SCCA wheel-to-wheel action also have a normally-aspirated option. For the full list of components and options, hit page two.
