3 The IFP* Halton Hills* WHEELS February 23, 2012 The 2013 Shelby GT500 convertible offers an astounding 650 hp V8. Shelby has link to the past The official launch of the Special Vehicle Team (SVT) came during the 1992 Chicago Auto Show with the unveiling of the 1993 SVT Mustang Cobra and SVT F-150 Lightning. Now Ford has returned to Chicago to celebrate its past and look to the future with the 2013 Shelby GT500 convertible. In honour of SVT's anniversary, a commemorative lighted sill plate will be used in the 2013 Shelby GT500 to celebrate the many years of performance vehicles. The 1993 SVT Mustang Cobra offered a 235horsepower 5.0-litre V8 engine, which demonstrates just how far the products have come in 20 years. The 2013 Shelby GT500 with its 650 hp V8 marks the latest offering from one of the oldest and most successful automotive performance groups in the world. The 2013 Shelby GT500 convertible with the optional Performance Package is faster around a track than the outgoing model. The new convertible shaved nearly 3.5 seconds off its lap time at Sebring International Raceway compared to the 2011 and 2012 models. Keys to the improved lap times are the power boost from the new 5.8-litre supercharged V8 producing 650 horsepower, as well as the SVTdesigned Bilstein electronic adjustable dampers available on the Performance Package and the all-new chassis tuning. Accessed on the dash with a simple push of a button, normal mode gives customers a more comfortable ride over road irregularities. Sport mode is all about performance, delivering improved response time on the track and less body roll while cornering with reduced pitch under braking. The upgraded dampers allowed SVT engineers to tune the convertible more aggressively for the track, while still being able to maintain desirable on-road manners. --Metroland Media/Carguide Magazine WHERE THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS Sale e Pric Sale e Pric Sale e Pric Sale e Pric #1 $ + 10,998 HST $ Stk# 02235 + 25,998HST $ Stk# V14947D + 20,998 HST $ Stk# R15657D + 12,498HST Stk# 02195 2008 F250 SUPER CAB 4X4 XLT 5.4 V8, R/SENSING TRAILOER TOW, REAR SLIDING WINDOW, 53,326 KMS One Owner, Very Clean!! 2009 CRV EXL AWD LEATHER, MOONROOF, ALLOYS, 70,558 KMS One Owner, Very Clean!! 2009 Corolla LE FULLY LOADED, COMES WITH SNOW TIRE PACKAGE, ALLOYS, 81257 KMS A must see Super buy 2007 FUSION SE AUTO, LOADED, ALLOYS 58,231 KMS One Owner, Very Clean!!
