You've no doubt read by now everything we've had to say about the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/08/2011-ford-shelby-gt500-finally-gets-aluminum-engine-loses-120-p">2011 Ford Shelby GT500</a> with its new aluminum engine. But what does it sound like? Glad you asked. We've got two clips of B-roll <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/08/video-2011-ford-shelby-gt500-plays-its-new-aluminum-soundtrack/#continued">after the jump</a> showing both the GT500 coupe and convertible out running on what appears to be a frigid Michigan afternoon (feel sorry for the guy driving the drop top). Fortunately, lots of time is spent mashing both their throttles so we can hear that new 5.4-liter supercharged aluminum engine howl. Question: Can a car look lighter? If so, the GT500 definitely does, especially at WOT as the car transfers its weight to the rear wheels with haste and boogies off. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/08/video-2011-ford-shelby-gt500-plays-its-new-aluminum-soundtrack/#continued">Follow the jump</a> and twist the dial to 11 before you hit play.<br />
