Deliveries for the 2016 Shelby Mustang GT350 are bound to commence soon, and we're not talking about the dealer source book we showed you last week.
This time, the Shelby GT350 owner's supplement surfaced on the Internet courtesy of Mustang6g, telling us one simple thing: deliveries are getting really close at this point.
If you're wondering how is the Shelby Mustang GT350 owner's supplement of any assistance, allow us to add it will give you quick insights on specs, the functionality of the steering wheel buttons, instrument cluster, information displays and track apps.
Also, you'll be able to find info on gear ratios and the Tremec 3160 6-speed manual gearbox and maintenance tips and advice.
Sure, those who kept a close eye on autoevolution were able to discover some of the information from the dealer source book, as well as the sticker on the Shelby GT350R carbon fiber wheels.
For the magic to happen, mechanical wizardry had to be employed here. For example, the engine runs on 93 octane gasoline, operates at a compression of 12:1 and uses an 87 mm throttle body.
Also, the second-generation block is packed with torque plates, with the cylinder heads being 6 percent lighter than those of the 5.0-liter V8 we got to test in the 2015 Ford Mustang GT.
So, if you're wondering how the engine will be, let's hear it in Dave Pericak's, Director of Ford Performance, words:
“A new Mustang as exceptional as the Shelby GT350 deserves an equally extraordinary engine. The all-new naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V8 perfectly fits the balanced dynamics of the Shelby GT350, and we believe this new engine will become a performance legend.”

The goodies
The central piece of the Shelby GT350 and GT350R is a soon-to-be-famous 5.2-liter flat-plane crank V8. The powerplant has 526 horsepower and 429 lb-ft (581 Nm) of torque made sweeter by the 8,250 rpm rev limiter that promises a lot of high-quality track action.For the magic to happen, mechanical wizardry had to be employed here.
