The new Shelby is a beautiful, sleek, and very capable sports vehicle that can make even the most laid back racing enthusiast excited.

There is a new technology called Plasma Transferred Wire Arc that replaces the cast iron liners that typically are used in aluminum engines. This technology is what was able to save over 102 pounds on the engine's weight.
