A new, lighter, aluminum block 5.4 liter V8 DOHC engine adds 10 horsepower, totaling 550 HP, and sheds 120 pounds off the front end, leaving the same traction to the rear-driven wheels to fully explore the lighter weight and massive 510 pound-feet of torque. Performance reports show the 2011 GT500 snarling its way from zero to 60 in just 4.2 seconds and the quarter mile in 12.3 seconds at 119 mph. Furthermore, with its tuned suspension, the 2011 GT500 manages 1.01g on the skid pad, making handling even better than anticipated.
