In addition to the specifications laid out in the press kit, Ford officials made the following claims about the 2011 Shelby GT500 at today's press conference in Detroit:

- It will be one tenth quicker to 60mph and two tenths quicker in the quarter-mile than the 2010 model.
- The Performance Pack will add 18% more downforce.
- The exhaust has 32% less backpressure.

That's about it, which is clearly isn't much, but in the land of Mustang, no detail is too small to rub in the face of the bowtie boys.
