Shelby Shifter Installation

Saturday, November 13th, 2010

 

Shelby GT500 ShifterWhen we got our new 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 project car (full story) we were sorely disappointed in the car’s shifter feel.  It was by far the worst stock shifter we had ever used on a Mustang.  Each shift drained the enjoyment normally found when driving a new car.  Something had to be done quickly.

Unsure of whether or not it would fit our 2011 we went ahead and ordered Shelby’s 6-Speed Shifter.  (Fortunately this unit will fit on a 2011, despite being labeled at the time of publication of this article with an application from 2007-2010.)

2012 Boss 302Ford has released the final specs on the 2012 Boss 302, and the numbers are good.  The 2012 Boss 302 Mustang makes the most horsepower ever to be offered in a naturally aspirated version; 444 horsepower to be exact.

The Boss 302 is the most track capable Mustang ever produced by Ford and Team Mustang.  But unlike previous track-only offerings like the 1993, 1995 and 2000 Cobra R’s the Boss 302 is not a one-trick pony.  Ford’s revolutionary TracKey technology the 2012 Boss 302 is now able to have a track calibration that provides a loping idle and over 200 other changes to the engine calibration.  Simply use a special ignition key to unleash the Boss 302’s maximum potential.  Starting the car with the other key, puts the car back to stock.
