  | Edmunds Inside Line - 2010 Shelby GT500 Dyno Test  Do something enough times and patterns become apparent. Dyno testing is no exception. For example, supercharged cars usually produce their best dyno result within the first few pulls. Heat soak tends to quickly get the best of the intercooler circuit and erode the engine's output. Once this happens, we call it quits and review the data to select the run that represents the car's stabilized output. Not so with the 2010 Shelby GT500. With each pull on MD Automotive's Dynojet chassis dyno in Westminster, CA, we witnessed the power from the supercharged 5.4-liter V8 creep up further and further. Five, six runs in and the power was still climbing. Finally, upon the seventh run, the output of our color-coordinating GT500 stabilized. And we saw that it was good. This new Shelby appears to have the thermal capacity of an industrial meat locker. That, and Gary and Jeff deserve a high-five for their efforts.  Edmunds Inside Line - 2010 Shelby GT500 Dyno Test Love this car. Look at those numbers! M
