Prepare to discover what makes this Revology 1967 Shelby GT500 a truly special machine, offering an unparalleled driving experience that respects its heritage while embracing the future.
Powering Your Passion: Engine and Driveline
Under the hood of the Revology Shelby GT500 resides a heart-pounding supercharged Ford/ROUSH Performance 5.0L Ti-VCT “Coyote” DOHC V8. This incredible engine delivers a staggering 710 horsepower, ready to unleash massive power on demand. Yet, it remains remarkably docile and easy to manage, even in bustling city traffic. This dual nature ensures both exhilarating performance and comfortable daily driving.
Unyielding Strength: The Driveline’s Foundation
Every Revology Mustang and Shelby GT features a robust Ford 8.8″ rear end with a Traction-Lok limited slip differential. This setup ensures quiet operation and superior durability for years of enjoyment. Unlike many aftermarket options, these 3.31 (A/T) and 3.73 (M/T) gear sets are genuine Ford engineered components. Heavy-duty 31-spline axles reliably transfer the immense power to the pavement, ensuring a direct connection with the road.
Lightweight Advantage: Carbon Fiber Driveshaft
A carbon fiber driveshaft is a crucial component in high-performance vehicles. Its lightweight and high-strength properties are ideal for handling extreme power. Furthermore, carbon fiber offers more forgiveness than steel or aluminum. This contributes to reduced driveline harshness, significantly improving the overall refinement of the vehicle.
Command and Control: Stopping Power and Sound
When you have a car with a power-to-weight ratio comparable to a Ferrari 488, exceptional braking is non-negotiable. The Revology 1967 Shelby GT500 boasts a formidable braking system. Large six-piston forged aluminum calipers grip 13.08″ slotted and vented rotors up front. In the rear, four-piston forged aluminum calipers work with 12.88″ rotors, providing incredible stopping power.
The Voice of Power: Exhaust System
The stainless steel dual exhaust system, custom-built by Borla, gives the Revology Shelby GT500 its distinctive voice. Tuned precisely for the Ford Coyote engine, it produces a soft burble at idle. When cruising, it remains wonderfully quiet with no drone. For those seeking an even more aggressive tone and increased power, an optional Performance Exhaust system is available with lower restriction mufflers.
