Driving your Shelby GT500 Your vehicle is equipped with a twin disc cera-metallic clutch. This clutch incorporates racing technology to combine a low inertia clutch assembly with a very durable friction material with high torque capability. Depending on your driving technique, the smoothness of how the vehicle reacts to clutch engagement may be different from other vehicles you have driven. This behavior is typical of a cera-metallic clutch and is not indicative of any abnormal issues with your vehicle. DRIVING YOUR SHELBY GT500 THROUGH WATER The Ford Shelby GT500 has aerodynamic devices attached to the underbody designed to help control airflow for superior performance. Therefore, the driver must be especially careful to avoid driving through deep or standing water. If driving through deep or standing water is unavoidable, proceed very slowly. Never drive through water that is higher than the bottom of the wheel rims. GROUND CLEARANCE Note: Because of low vehicle ground clearance, use caution when approaching curbs/curb stops from the front and rear as vehicle damage could occur. 9 2008 05+ Mustang (197) Supplement USA (fus)

Your vehicle is equipped with a twin disc cera-metallic clutch. This
clutch incorporates racing technology to combine a low inertia clutch
assembly with a very durable friction material with high torque
capability. Depending on your driving technique, the smoothness of how
the vehicle reacts to clutch engagement may be different from other
vehicles you have driven. This behavior is typical of a cera-metallic
clutch and is not indicative of any abnormal issues with your vehicle.

unavoidable, proceed very slowly. Never drive through water that is
higher than the bottom of the wheel rims.
