Ford Shelby GT500
Having reviewed the previous version of the Shelby GT500 not that long ago, there’s no doubt, the 2010 ride is a different machine. For starters, Ford upped the car’s engine output to 540 hp and 510 ft.-lb of torque. That’s 40 extra horses to brag about. Then there’s the exterior which is based on that of the 2010 Ford Mustang. There’s no denying the car looks tough, from its aluminum power dome hood, complete with hood extractor, all the way down to its classic white shift knob complete with racing stripes.
Of course, die-hard Shelby enthusiasts will notice the Shelby snake emblem is now on the passenger side of the grille instead of the driver's side. Moving the emblem was implemented to improve air flow through the grille into the car’s cold-air intake system.
Best of all, Ford says the 2010 Shelby GT500 gets two more miles per
Behind the Wheel: And Upgraded GT Interior
2010 Shelby GT500 Ford Mustang
The interior of the 2010 GT500 feels like an upgraded version of the standard GT Mustang. The driver’s seat with power lumbar support is definitely more comfortable, and visually things are more appealing. For instance, my eyes were immediately drawn to the GT500’s leathers seats adorned with white racing stripes. This is a nice touch. Then there’s the obvious cue-ball style shifter knob along with a leather-wrapped steering wheel that features Alcantara suede inserts. To be honest, it took a while for my fingers to get used to this soft-touch fabric on the wheel. It’s a nice feature, but I’m not sure its place is in a “fearsome” Shelby GT500 Mustang.
My test car also included a built-in navigation system, My Color visual effects, and dual-climate control settings. A pretty nice feature is the Ford SVT (Special Vehicle Team) logo that appears on the instrumentation display. Never fear. If you change the My Color settings, the SVT emblem still remains red. Another nice touch is the GT500’s door sills which light up, thanks to ambient lighting, with an SVT script insert when you open and close the doors.
As for the rear seats, they are nicely appointed as well, although I wouldn’t put any of my friends back there for an extended period of time. And trunk space, well it’s still a Mustang which means space is minimal.
As for steering response, the car handles like a dream. I spent a full day tearing up the scenic back roads of Northern California and never once grew tired of the car’s responsiveness or handling abilities.
On the Road: This GT500 Has Table Manners
There’s no doubt about it, the GT500 can get up and go. This car was just as fast, if not faster, than the GT500 I tested last year. We’re talking 0-60 in an estimated 4.3 seconds and the ¼ mile in less than 13. There’s one big difference, however. If you’ve ridden in the last version of the GT500 (or watched Will Smith tear it up behind the wheel of the car in “I Am Legend”), you probably remember that ever-so sweet sound of the supercharger winding up when you stepped on the gas. Well, the supercharger is still there, but you don’t hear it in the 2010 car unless you really put your foot to the floor. For some this might be viewed as a godsend. For those of us who love Shelby Mustangs because of their rough/tough factor, this really takes things down a notch. I know, it’s not a big deal you say, but it is. If I plan to spend more than $40k on a Shelby Mustang, I want to hear rumble, and plenty of it! The 2010 GT500 is surprisingly refined and quiet inside. I think it would be fair to say the car has definitely acquired table manners since our last outing.
As for the clutch, the guys at SVT completely redesigned it for 2010. Remember the old GT500 clutch? Some might say it was a bit unforgiving. Well, the new GT500 clutch has a much lighter feel and is darn right manageable in almost any situation. In fact, most would be hard pressed to miss a gear in this car. This, combined with the short-throw shifter, makes for a great overall experience. My only complaint is the gearbox feels a bit too notchy at times, but believe me when I say this car was very easy to drive.
Journey's End: It Cleans Up Nicely, But You'd Better Watch Out
2010 Shelby GT500 Mustang
The 2010 Shelby GT500 Mustang is still a dream ride, and there’s no denying it’s a head turner wherever it goes. Heck, I’d love to own one. But the way I see it, the car has morphed into something new. It’s no longer the rumbling rocket ship of yesteryear. The car still rumbles thanks to its Tuned stainless steel X-pipe exhaust, and it’s faster than ever, but the GT500’s tough edge has been tamed a bit. I’d compare it to the rough and tough biker who folks say “cleans up real nicely”. He got a haircut and a shave, but don’t let that fool you. If you test him, he’ll still put you through a wall! The GT500 has been refined in many ways and it shows. But deep down the car is still a force to be reckoned with. For instance, on the race track, we were able to log ¼ mile times of around 12.6 seconds. Not bad for a factory ride.
Other notable features include Ford’s stability control system called AdvanceTrac. This saved me from spinning out on more than one occasion. Racing stripes on the convertible are a GT500 first, and Ford’s new Easy Fuel Capless Fuel Filler System makes filling up at the pump a lot quicker. The car will also be available in new colors. My advice; go with the Grabber Blue.
The 2010 Shelby GT500 will arrive at dealerships in the coming weeks with a price tag around $46,325.

LINCOLN NAVIGATOR 2010
2010 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR
It's hard to believe, but Lincoln's iconic Navigator has been in production for over a decade. Trends come and go but, in the case of the Navigator, one thing is certain: It's a rock solid big SUV that offers considerable luxury and capability. Now, it should be no secret that the brand Lincoln and luxury go hand in hand, but many tend to forget that the big Navigator is a well rounded, capable SUV.
Luxury and Capability
Don't believe it? Think about this: When properly equipped with Lincoln's available Heavy Duty Trailer Tow Package, the big sport ute can yank a 9,000 pound trailer (2WD). For 2010, buyers automatically receive Lincoln's unique ?trailer sway control? as standard. From a trailer towing perspective, this is pretty much a stroke of genius. It functions in conjunction with the AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability Control?). Combined, they monitor the yaw motion of the vehicle to determine if the trailer is swaying. If it is, the control takes charge: It can reduce engine torque or precisely
Even without a trailer attached, the standard AdvanceTrac with RSC is always functioning in the background. This is the industry's only electronic stability system with two gyroscopic sensors, one of which is a unique
Providing the grunt necessary to move big loads is a 310-horsepower, 365 foot-pound torque 5.4- liter, single overhead cam V8. Where this engine differs from many others is the fact that it's flexfuel friendly. This means you can fill up with regular 87-octane unleaded gasoline, E85 (ethanolgasoline mix) or a combination of both. Compared to pre-2009 Navigators, the engine is certified to reduce smog-forming emissions by 55 percent. Backing the SOHC V8 is a six-speed automatic gearbox. The smaller steps between gears improve acceleration, while the double overdrive gearsets (fifth gear and sixth gear are both overdrive) help to improve fuel economy.

As you can see, the mechanics and platform electronics are plenty stout, but what about the personal amenities? Truthfully, Lincoln never lets you forget you are in fact driving a Lincoln. Climb behind the leather-wrapped, wood-trimmed steering wheel and you'll be met with an instrument cluster that's reminiscent of the fabulous dual cowl job first seen on Lincoln's legendary 1961 Continental. The wood trim extends through the door trim and across the cluster center stack and through the sweeping center console. Chrome plated trim is abundant while the seats are scrumptiously trimmed in what seems like acres of high end leather. There's considerable space for passengers in all three rows of seating; and, in part due to the independent rear suspension system, legroom is rather abundant, even in the third-row seat. Pedals are power adjustable. Ditto with the PowerFold? feature of the third row seat. Front row seats are heated and cooled and the sound system is based upon a 14-speaker (no misprint), 600-watt stereo complete with a six-disc in-dash CD changer.
Lincoln's SYNC® voice-activated, in-vehicle communications and entertainment system (with a USB port in the first-row center floor console) is standard, as is a SIRIUS® Satellite Radio receiver. A voice-activated Navigation System with SIRIUS Travel LinkTM is available. This system, working by way of the SIRIUS Satellite Radio network, provides access to information and entertainment such as real-time traffic data, weather reports, fuel options sorted by price and/or distance, major league pro and college sports scores and much more. Other standard comfort and convenience equipment includes a rear view camera system, rain-sensing windshield wipers, Easy FuelTM capless fuel filler, forward and reverse sensing systems (that helps make parking a breeze), and heated second-row seats.
Options and Safety
If that's not enough, Lincoln offers several healthy option packages: Included is a Monochrome Appearance Package that features a revised grille, body color lower body side cladding, a bodycolor hood accent, and power-folding, heated body-color mirrors. The Monochrome Limited Edition Package adds ebony wood trim, unique Camel or Stone color Premium leather-trimmed seats with black leather inserts and black piping, and head restraints embroidered with the Lincoln star on all three rows. The Elite Package includes the voice-activated, hard drive-based Navigation System featuring SIRIUS Travel Link (with complimentary six-month subscription), nearly 10 gigabytes of digital storage for pictures and music, and on-screen image from the Rear View Camera, THX® II certified 5.1 surround audio system with AM/FM stereo/single-CD/DVD/Jukebox, MP3 capability, 14 speakers (including an 8-inch subwoofer), 600 watts of power and 12-channel amplifier, rear-seat DVD entertainment system, and power moonroof.
From a safety perspective, the Navigator includes six standard airbags: Driver and front-passenger coverage includes dual-stage front airbags along with front-seat side airbags. All outboard passengers benefit from the Saftey Canopy® System side-curtain airbags. Note that in certain types of side impact or rollover accidents, side-curtain airbags deploy from the headliner to cover all three rows. Lincoln also includes the SOS Post-Crash Alert System, designed to signal for help after an accident where an airbag has been deployed or if a safety belt pre-tensioner has been activated. Sensors direct the horn to sound and lights to flash so that the driver and passengers may be located. This safety gear is in addition to the previously mentioned AdvanceTrac with RSC system.
Driving Impression
Okay. So the 2010 Lincoln Navigator is a fully loaded luxury SUV. And a safe one to boot. What's it really like to drive? There are no hidden (unwanted) surprises when you climb behind the wheel. Suspension is tuned for compliance. That means it rides nicely and handles well for such a big vehicle. And, in truth, the big Lincoln Navigator does what you ask. The best way to describe it is quiet, confident and, most important, secure.
Lincoln Navigator - What the Auto Press Says
The 2010 Lincoln Navigator ranks 8 out of 11 Luxury Large SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 55 published reviews and test drives of the Lincoln Navigator, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
With a third row that's actually comfortable, the Lincoln Navigator is a plush place for all passengers. Not only does the Navigator offer adult-sized third-row accommodations but it also has good driving dynamics and head-turning style.
Despite the praise for its third row, an area where most SUVs get knocked, the Navigator loses some points for its engine, which some reviewers say is underpowered. Still, several reviewers call the Navigator a decent alternative to the Cadillac Escalade, offering a more useable third row seat and an almost equal amount of bling. However, the
If you just want a comfortable large SUV and can do without the bling, check out the Ford Expedition, the Navigator's less ostentatious cousin. It is just as capable and comfortable, but offers more casual surroundings and a lower price. Opt for the Expedition, and you're looking at a savings of about $19,000.
The Navigator is available in a base trim and a long-wheelbase L trim, and comes in either two- or four-wheel drive. The Navigator was last redesigned in 2006. For 2010, changes to the Navigator are few. The new features include standard trailer sway control, power running boards, and Ford's MyKey system. The MyKey system allows parents to limit the

Performance - What the Auto Press Says
Reviewers say the 2010 Lincoln Navigator is a competent, but not standout, performer. The engine is disappointing to most, but the Navigator gets praise for its smooth ride.
- "The Navigator is rock-solid yet surprisingly agile and comfortable on the road, even on rough surfaces. Performance is more than adequate." -- Kelley Blue Book
Acceleration and Power
Every Lincoln Navigator is powered by a 300-hp 5.4-liter 3-valve V-8 engine which makes 365 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,750 rpm. Reviewers say the engine isn't up to the task of moving the large SUV, especially when compared to the thrust provided by the
- "About the only thing glaringly wrong with the Navigator is its overburdened 5.4-liter V8, which feels anemic relative to the Escalade's brawny 6.2-liter motor." -- Edmunds
- "This Lincoln is not as muscular as rival Cadillac Escalade. It is still up to the task in any situation, abetted by an adept 6-speed automatic transmission." -- Consumer Guide
- "This 5.4-liter feels pretty weak and never sounds particularly graceful. With a better engine and brake upgrade, the Navigator would be much more convincing." -- Automobile Magazine
Handling and Braking
On balance, most reviewers feel that the Navigator delivers acceptable ride and handling for such a large
- "Stopping, turning, and accelerating are not much fun in this tank, but once you're up to speed it's a smooth cruiser." -- Automobile Magazine
- +"It rolls down the road in isolated splendor." -- Car and Driver
- +"Accurate, slop-free steering feel and a relatively taut suspension combine for confident cornering for a large
truck . There's relatively little body lean in turns." -- Consumer Guide - -"The ride is relatively smooth, but the vehicle is not easy to control at speed, in part because the steering doesn't provide crisp or immediate feedback from the road surface and requires constant corrections." The Detroit News
Exterior - What the Auto Press Says
The 2010 Lincoln Navigator has plenty of chrome and an imposing stance. Several reviewers say they like the standard automated running boards and doors, which make the tall Navigator easier to live with.
- "This
vehicle is tall enough that most folks will find running boards useful for climbing in and out. These [standard] power-deployable units present themselves when any side door is opened and retreat neatly out of sight when all doors are closed." -- Kelley Blue Book - "Every door and seat is heavy, so it's a good thing that the rear hatch and back seats are power-operated." -- Automobile Magazine
- "Chrome-tastic exterior may be too much for some." -- Edmunds
Interior - What the Auto Press Says
Reviewers praise the 2010 Navigator for having a spacious and comfortable interior, superior cargo room and a long list of modern standard features. The third-row seat, according to most, is even comfortable enough for adults. A few reviewers say the Navigator stumbles with down-market materials and switchgear.
- "The Navigator's retro-fabulous interior features a throwback dual-cowl dash design, square gauges that evoke a '77 Continental Mark V, and an impressive array of standard luxury features." -- Edmunds
- "The Navigator's ultra-quiet, leather-lined cabin is divided by a "flow-through" center console that sweeps up into rectangular "eyebrows" that frame both sides of the dash." -- Kelley Blue Book
- "Luxuriously soft leather upholstery and real-wood interior trim are standard. The premium ambiance is let down by low-budget switchgear feel, painted plastic panels, and a few too many unpadded surfaces." -- Consumer Guide
Seating
On balance, most test drivers were pleased with the seating in the Navigator, noting its spacious layout with room to spare in almost every direction.
- +"First and second-row seating offers good head and legroom . . . Seating is soft but supportive." -- Kelley Blue Book
- +"Passenger room is excellent, even in the third row." -- Edmunds
- +"No shortage of room in any direction. The seats are generously sized and very supportive. " -- Consumer Guide
- "The non-telescoping wheel made it difficult to find a truly comfortable driving position. Sure, movable pedals may help shorter drivers fit better, but when you're over 6' tall and prefer to sit close to the wheel, there isn't much room for your legs. My complaint applies to pretty much all modern
Ford products, but it felt especially cramped in this Navigator given its prodigious dimensions." -- Automobile Magazine
Interior Features
The 2010 Lincoln Navigator has retro-styled gauges that are not well-liked by reviewers. However, Ford's SYNC infotainment system wins praise. The system allows drivers to control the stereo, navigation, and even their Bluetooth-enabled phones through voice commands. Plenty of other features, like leather, a rearview camera, heated and cooled front seats, and heated rear seats, are standard. Options include a DVD entertainment system.
- "Soon the whole world will be singing my tune about the wonders of Sync!" -- Automobile Magazine
- "Navigator strays from Expedition's large, clear presentation of gauges with a retro design of smaller, fussier, and harder-to-read shapes. The dashboard otherwise shares the Ford's straight-forward arrangement of controls" -- Consumer Guide
Cargo
Cargo space in the Lincoln Navigator is abundant. With the second- and third-row seats folded down, the Navigator delivers 103.3 cu. ft. of storage space. With only the third row folded, the vehicle maintains 54.4 cu. ft. of cargo room. When all the seats are placed in their upright positions, the Navigator still maintains a respectful 18.1 cu. ft. of space. The folding third-row seat gives the Navigator a distinct advantage over the Escalade, which has a heavy third-row seat that must manually be removed for extra cargo space. Reviewers especially like the fact that the third row power folds with just the touch of a button. .
- "In any event, the power fold-flat third-row seat makes hauling cargo easy. With both the second- and third-row seats folded completely flat, the Navigator can carry 104 cubic feet of cargo, respectable for this segment" -- Edmunds
- "The 2nd- and 3rd-row seatbacks fold flat into the floor, creating a vast storage area. The available power-folding 3rd row is a terrific feature as it saves awkward stretching." -- Consumer Guide
Safety - What the Auto Press Says
The government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awards the 2010 Lincoln Navigator a top score of five stars for frontal crash protection as well as four out of five stars for rollover rating in four-wheel drive trims.
Among other basic safety features, every 2010 Lincoln Navigator comes equipped with Advance Trac with Roll Stability Control and a rearview camera. Moreover, dual-stage driver and front passengers, as well as side-curtain air bags for all seat rows -- something that not all competitors offer -- are standard.
New for 2010 is the MyKey system. MyKey lets owners customize the Navigator's performance, limiting speed and stereo volume. The different performance parameters are saved on the Navigator's keys. The system is handy for owners who will be sharing the Navigator with teen drivers as Junior's key will make sure he stays within the limits Mom and Dad set when he's driving the Navigator.

The 2010 Lincoln Navigator reliability score of 7.0 out of 10 is the Predicted Reliability rating provided by J.D. Power and Associates. This score is based on trending the past three years of historical initial quality and dependability data from J.D. Power's automotive studies, specifically the

The Fastest Motorcycles in the World
Here is a list of the fastest motorcycles in the world. It's amazing how fast something can move with only two wheels. Enjoy.
9. BMW K1200S 167 mhh (268 km/h)
On 25 September 2004, BMW globally launched a radically redesigned K Series motorcycle, the K1200S, containing an all new in-line four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine featuring 123 kW (165 hp). The K1200S was primarily designed as a Super Sport motorcycle , albeit larger and heavier than the closest Japanese competitors. Shortly after the launch of the K1200S, problems were discovered with the new power plant leading to a recall until the beginning of 2005, when corrective changes were put in place. Recently, a K1200S set a land speed record for production bikes in its class at the Bonneville Salt Flats, exceeding 174 mph (280 km/h). - wikipedia.org
8. Ducati 1098s 169 mph (271 km/h)
The Ducati 1098 is a super bike manufactured by the Italian motorcycle company Ducati since 2007. There were three different versions, called the 1098, 1098S, and 1098R. The first two models were replaced by a successor model, the Ducati 1198, that was introduced in 2009. The 1098 shares more design elements with the older 998 than with its predecessor the 999, such as horizontally placed headlights and a non-integrated exhaust system. Another carryover from its 916/998 heritage is the single-sided swingarm. - wikipedia.org
7. Aprilia RSV 1000R Mille 175mph (281 km/h)
The Aprilia RSV 1000 R is a super bike motorcycle manufactured by Aprilia from 2004 through 2008. Along with the bike's redesign Aprilia renamed the RSV from RSV Mille to RSV 1000 R. It is offered in three versions: RSV 1000 R (while the "R" designation on the RSV Mille signified the higher spec version) is the standard version, the higher spec version is the RSV 1000 R Factory, and Aprilia made a limited edition version called RSV 1000 R Nera. - wikipedia.org
6. Yamaha YZF R1 176mph (283 km/h)
In late 2008 Yamaha announced they would release an all new R1 for 2009. The new R1 takes engine technology from the M1 Motogp bike with its cross plane crankshaft, the first ever production motorcycle to do so. Crossplane technology, puts each connecting rod 90° from the next, with an uneven firing interval of 270°- 180°- 90°- 180°. The idea of this technology is to reduce internal crankshaft torque, thus giving the new R1 a more linear power delivery. Yamaha claims the bike would give the rider 'two engines in one', the low torque of a twin and the pace of an inline four. As with previous incarnations of the R1 the 2009 model keeps its YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle). The R1 is now rated at 182 PS @ 12,500rpm at the crankshaft (without ram-air). - wikipedia.org
5. Honda CBR 1100XX Super Blackbird 178mph (286 km/h)
In the mid 1990's, Honda Motorcycles were determined to produce the world's fastest production motorcycle and to take over the associated bragging rights and marketing impact, at the time held by Kawasaki with its ZZ-R 1100. This led to the creation of the CBR1100XX Super Blackbird which was released to the market as a 1996 model and achieved a verifiable 177 mph (285 kph). The Blackbird name is a nod to the Lockheed SR-71 aircraft, once the world's fastest aircraft. - wikipedia.org
4. MV Agusta F4 1000 R 185 mph (299 km/h)
The MV Agusta F4 was the motorcycle that launched the resurrection of MV Agusta in 1998. The F4 was created by famous motorcycle designer Massimo Tamburini at CRC (Cagiva Research Center), following his work on the Ducati 916. The F4 is unique with its four pipe undertail exhaust, single-sided swingarm, large front forks (49 or 50 mm diameter) and traditional MV Agusta red and silver livery. The F4 is also one of the only production superbikes to have a radial valved engine. - wikipedia.org
3. Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 (ZZR1400) 186 mph (300 km/h)
The ZZR1400 (Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 in North America) is a hyper sport motorcycle manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries and is currently their most powerful sport bike. It was introduced at the Tokyo 2005 show and released for the 2006 model year as a replacement for the ZX-12R. Its direct competitor in the hyper sport segment is the Suzuki Hayabusa. The ZZR1400 is capable of accelerating from 0–60 mph in 2.5 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 186 mph (299 km/h). This limit has been in effect on both Kawasaki and Suzuki sport motorcycles since 2001 when both companies realized that the speed war between them would only serve to bring about government regulation. - wikipedia.org
2. Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa 190 mph (305 km/h)
The Suzuki Hayabusa (or GSX1300R) is a hyper sport motorcycle made by Suzuki since 1999. It immediately won acclaim as the world's fastest production motorcycle, with a top speed of 188–194 miles per hour (303–312 km/h). Hayabusa is Japanese for Peregrine Falcon, a bird that often serves as a metaphor for speed due to its vertical hunting dive, or stoop, speed of 180 to 240 miles per hour (290 to 390 km/h), the fastest of any bird. In particular, the choice of name was made due to the fact that the peregrine falcon preys on blackbirds, which reflected the intent of the original Hayabusa to unseat the Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird as the world's fastest production motorcycle. - wikipedia.org
1. MTT Turbine Superbike Y2K 227 mph (365 km/h)
MTT Turbine Superbike (often styled SUPERBIKE, also known as Y2K Turbine SUPERBIKE, is the world's second wheel-driven motorcycle powered by a turbine engine, created by Ted McIntyre of Marine Turbine Technologies Inc. Reports of the MTT Turbine SUPERBIKE appeared as early as 1999 in a May issue of Cafe Racer magazine, but the production model was introduced in 2000. Powered by a Rolls-Royce-Allison Model 250 turboshaft engine, producing 238 kW (320 hp), the motorcycle has a recorded top speed of 227 mph (370 km/h), with a price tag of US$150,000 (US$185,000 in 2004). - wikipedia.org
