Greenlight 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang

While Greenlight tends to make a few mistakes, there's a few 1:64 castings that I think are the best in the industry.  One being the 2008-current Dodge Challenger, the other is the 2010 Shelby GT500 Mustang.

New-Age Shelby GT500 Mustang, take two

After a successful return of the Shelby namesake to the Ford motor company on the Mustang in 2007, the GT500 Mustang carries over onto the new 2010 Mustang body style.  The biggest change is more differentiation from the regular Mustang's; an issue that the 2007-2009 Shelby GT500 faced despite the dual stripes, snake badges, and dome hood.  The mesh grille and snake logo carry over, but the snake shifts to the right-side to allow room for the cold air intake snorkel on the left.  Hood now has larger vents, dual 5-spoke wheels are concave and give the Shelby an aggressive look.  The rear gets a flat Gurney-style spoiler and revised lower bumper with dual exhaust.  Other Mustang changes include new projector-beam headlights (first on V6 and Shelby models, offered on all Mustangs starting in 2013) and a revised rear bumper with larger taillights featuring sequential turn indicators. 

Inside the interior looks mostly unchanged, but there was a few revisions.  First the center air vents are now rectangular to allow the navigation system to fit, the center console was redesigned to allow for better shifting without hitting your elbow on console surfaces, multi-color gauge cluster configuration, and improved interior materials.  The engine still remains the Supercharged 5.4, now all-aluminum, V8 producing 550 hp. and 510 ft-Ib. torque through a six-speed manual to the rear wheels.  Also improvements were made to the front strut, multi-link live axle rear suspension setup. Further improvements in the coming years to the suspension and engine perfected the Shelby GT500's track performance equivalent to today's modern sports cars, preparing the next version in 2015-2016 with the new independent rear suspension.

Just look and drool!

In Dark Blue with white stripes and dark gray 5-spoke wheels, this Shelby looks stealthy and mean!  The front is nicely done, especially the projector-beam headlights and the snake in the front grille.  The big, fat (sorry!) rear end is my least favorite part of the 2010-2014 Mustang, and it kills the otherwise great looks of this 2010 Shelby GT500.  Anyways the taillight and SHELBY lettering is nicely done.  The metal base features the correct drivetrain layout, and I like the added touch of the cross-hatch heat shields.  The engine is a beaut: Big block, separate supercharger, all in 3D effect, and it looks great!  The interior is nicely done and is spot-on accurate to the real Mustang interior,

I really don't have anything else much to say.  Just look at it and be amazed by the details!
