Car test Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500

[MrSwizzli]

Hmmmm Cobra Kai never die.... I always knew I had seen their Cobra elsewhere... ;-)

[wwxasw]

de el ultimo modelo no hablo,lei que lo hicieron mas europeo y ahora si esta fuerte,pero del primer modelo de gt500 es un trasto,consola interior como la de un ford fiesta,plasticos del motor de la misma calidad que un ford fiesta en un coche de mas de 300cv,os lo explico,ese coche donde yo vivo en pleno verano dandole caña por una carretera de curvas y pasa de ford mustang a ford antorcha que hasta la carcel cojo,con un m3 e36 que tiene menos cv me lo como con PA-ta-tas fritas¡¡¡jajajajaja

[mkai4492]

The opening music does NOT fit the car

[xMPcss]

Is it just me or do i hear porn in the background of the music

[KradiaKid]

He's right about the back end getting lighter and holding on to the steering wheel. My dad and I almost did a full 360 coming out of target parking lot haha then again it needed new tires anyway.

[www41WorldUSAcom]

FORD Mustang Shelby

[Mike2VP]

I love it!

[davidhindu]

this is good, but best one is the exclusive shelby cobra KOTR.

[cgamorph]

anyone knows the price?

[kaka22brzele]

سمحلي الشيلبي يروحي فديت خشتك

[Rlnthndr]

they need to test the new one

[pershing22]

@Rlnthndr

wich one? the 2011 GT-500 SVT or the 2011 Shelby GT350?

[Rlnthndr]

@pershing22 the 2011 Gt-500

[ms7ory]

انت ززق

[bobek9000]

Ford Mustang GT 500 rules thumbs up if you think it too !!!!

[spandy234]

@bobek9000 Asking for thumbs up is GAY ... loser

[MagicMirror981]

@spandy234 That guy posted the comment 8 months ago when it wasn't as gay to ask for thumbs up.

[spandy234]

@MagicMirror981 it would have been 5months look at the date of my comment dumbass .

[MagicMirror981]

@spandy234 5 Months before your comment. Back then it wasn't as gay to ask for thumbs up. -.-

[MetalTala]

does it have back seats?

[anzew88]

get it on dyno! is it realy 500 HP?

[watso64]

lol its probably 500 HP at the crank only like 460-470 at the wheels.

[magicalpoop]

@watso64 yup. but the 2011 Shelby has improved a lot.

I wouldn't get one though, I'd still get a 2011 5.0 Mustang GT and slap on a supercharger.

The 2011 Mustang GT runs the same #'s as a BMW M3 for 30,000$ less.

[watso64]

@magicalpoop yeah I wouldn't get this one either.{I'm a GM fan lol.} but I would get a GT or even a 2011 V6 make more HP then a 09 GT. plus you can get better MPG and can use reg gas unlike a GT500

[masterd151]

@watso64 no shit dumbfuck...find me one OEM that rates their cars on RWHP.......

[watso64]

@masterd151 Its called real HP. If your really a into cars you would know what that means. Real car guys look at Dyno sheets for power number,not what the dealer rates their cars. BTW not all cars are RWD either.

[bestamerica]

NO thank,,,

i dont like this car

[texasccl2]

i would love to see this car with a 427 fe series, supercharged aluminum block, heads and intake with fuel injection.

[kwei123]

they don't use the horse logo anymore?

[SavageSS2010]

Simply the best car ever laid down by Detroit. The 03-04 Cobras were fast and had a lot of potential, but theres more potential in the GT500 . 5.4 litres , GT heads ,, the old 03-04 Cobras , albeit awesome, were only 4.6 motors. Money for maoney in mods, the GT500 will eat its lunch. And with a few bolt ons, they will take new ZO6s too. Just a killer car.

[wignigeater]

no, the 5.4 is just a stroked and bored 4.6, same motor...the 03-04 cobra is lighter too. Plus, mods are cheaper for the cobra, I have a 634rwhp cobra...I gave my 98 gt with 175,000 miles and 11,000 for it...beat that with a gt500???? The cheapest shelby I could find was a mammoth supercharged one with heavy mods (OHHHH YEAA!!!!) for 32,000...hell of a deal, but love the cobra...just matters what your opinion is really, lol!

[SavageSS2010]

@wignigeater You need to see 5.0 Mustangs very thorough test between a "Terminator" and a "Condor" , the designated engine names. In stock form, the 08 Shelby they had beat the 03 Cobra significantly. They then added equal mods, which test results put the Shelby SIGNIFICANTLY faster , once again, EQUALLY modded . Its a cool article. By the way, the 5.4 is NOT the same engine. You may want to read up on that. I do like the 03/04s, but they were replaced by the Shelby for a reason.

[wignigeater]

no, plus they are much much more expensive to maintain and mod. I LOOOOVVVEEE them, don't get me wrong, but if you wanna go super performance, get the 03-04 because they have been out longer and therefore are cheaper/easier to mod in any way.

[SavageSS2010]

@wignigeater yes theyve been out longer but the fact is stock or EQUALLY modded a Shelby is faster . The engine is a better engine in the Shelby, thats why the 03-04s engines arent in the Shelbys . Im rather skeptical of the new aluminum 5.4 too,, aluminum isnt near as strong as iron, despite the sleeves . I love the 03-04s, they are great cars with INSANE potential, just not "as" insane of potential in the Shelbys. Both are great American muscle machines.

[magicalpoop]

@SavageSS2010 I heard Ford put in some really innovative and new technology into the 2011 Shelby.

But the 2011 5.0 Mustang looks more appealing with it's price tag + aftermarket potential.

[wignigeater]

naw, I like d cobras better since the style is verrrry sweet...plus, the cobras are lighter, haha, not light though, but the gt500 is still heavier

[meshal4444]

ooooooooooooohhhhhhhh

[dragot79]

top car..la mia preferita

[chad121777]

03-04 cobra weight 3,665 390hp 390tq top speed 155-160 0-60 4.5 1/4 mile 12.9 05-07

gt500 wieght 3,920 500hp 510tq 0-60 5.4liter 0-60 4.6 1/4 mile12.8 top speed 155

2010 gt500 540hp 510tq 0-604.3 1/4 mile 12.6 toop speed 179 wieght 3,924

In my opinion the 2007 gt500 didnt best the 03-04 cobra, but the 2010 has. but dollar for dollar the 03-04 cobra still wins & with 2grand u can best the 2010 performance & with 5grand destroy it remember the 2010gt500 540 hp & 03-04 cobra 390hp

[TheTerrorbunny]

An American car with a high quality finish & interior?? ... I'll believe it when i see it in person

[ElCid48]

Yeah, Terrorbunny. That's why there are so many fucking Australian cars being sold around the world. Go back to drinking your beer, mate!

[xmodrock]

.... trust me.. its amazing!!!

[96Vyper]

why is a brittish dude reviewing an american car?

and its called a HOOD, not a BONNETE!

[humanparody12]

That's like asking why an American guy is reviewing a BMW, and calling the bonnete a hood. You're not bitchig about that, are you?

[96Vyper]

naww, i just didnt know thats what they called hoods over there, lol. i thought he was just making fun of it, i dont know very much about the british way of speaking lol, i know american english.

[humanparody12]

I try and study different types of dialect so I can understand what people from all walks of life are saying. Some do say hood overseas, but it's about as common as someone over calling it a bonnete.

I used to not understand their alternate spellings, though. Like Tonnes instead of tons.

[96Vyper]

lol, yeaa, different languages, different ways of speaking, its all confusing, but as long as everyone smiles and waves, noone can get mad, lol

[ungatoniko]

I understand what you are saying, but BMW is German, and Die Deutscher Leute sagen nicht Bonnete oder Hood.... Bayerische Motoren Werke kommt mit keine Hood oder Bonnete...Vielen Dank, meinen Freund

[rockerryan18]

at 48,000 dollars for starting price and its 540 horse power 2 offer. YA I THINK ITS WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!

[delzottoj1]

only a european would complain about this car.

[manu24v6]

here in Europe does not need a 5.0 350cv us just a 3.0

[togglenuts]

Yes, but you have higher octane fuel, allowing for fairly stout compression ratios.

From what I've observed Europe's performance vehicles are one of two things when compared to the GT500, half the size, or twice the price.

I would like to see even smaller engines (V8's of course, I'm a Yankee) making more power here in the states, but we're still on that "there's no replacement for displacement" mindset...

[manu24v6]

although this is the car of my dreams

[shawnleenassim]

did you see it in I AM LEGEND ? thats when i fell in love with the car.

[flyjake]

that is a great scene

[fatzac86]

I thought snakes and horses hated each other?

[fitz207]

subnoize85....BMW's are for snobs....for those who think they're better. They break down just like any other car, and cost twice as much to fix when they do.

[fitz207]

EuroTunerX314...You're from Bosnia? You probably can't afford any of the German cars you're praising. So shut up. This video is about the GT500 not BMW or MB.

[subnoize85]

you can even compare that american SHIT

with the beauty of the BMW's.

[Nirvanasiert]

small bad mustang.

[chad121777]

lets take a look at porshe rs they made an even better version they made a light high performing car even lighter hence bettering its 0-60 times its breaking its cornering etc lambo and ferrrari does the same. so shelby svt and ford and more hp and more weight wtf doesnt make sense drop 500-600lbs off these fat basterds listen to the stang bangers I mean hell we do buy the cars

[pass558]

worst car ever if you want a real car get (bmw-mercedes bens)

[OGRM]

first of all its spelled Mercedes-benZ

second of all GERMAN CARS SUCK!

[EuroTunerX314]

and americaan cars cant even touch them

[OGRM]

Cadillac CTS-V > BMW M5

Saleen S7 > Ferrari Enzo

Chevy Corvette > Porsche 911 (997)

Chevy Camaro > BMW 3 Series

Cadillac Escalade > Mercedes G class

SSC Ultimate Aero > Bugatti Veyron

Dodge Charger > Mercedes E class

Cadillac DTS ... NO COMPETITION

Dodge Ram/Ford F/Chevy Silverado.. NO COMPETITION

i rest my case

[EuroTunerX314]

HAH! typical narrowminded american, not even worth arguing with, ur pathetic

[OGRM]

i'm from Belgium... last time i checked Belgium is not America

[EuroTunerX314]

i dont realy care where yur from budy

[pass558]

are you kidding me that germans car suck maybe  you should take a look between the two brands and at the end you'll say how stupid i was by saying that germans car suck

[DevPack]

thats my car im thinking of trading it for the 2010, but the markups are ridiculous

[nivrin13]

lol you are just beeing pretensious

why trade a sick car for another sick car?

[Winjury]

shelby is more expensive then a vette- hmmmmm. shelby or vette- ill take the vette:)

[CRF150Ffoxrider]

shelby is nowhere close to the vette in price. shelby 48,000 vette at least 70,000

[xTechnoKillerx]

@CRF150Ffoxrider Why comparing the GT500 to the Corvette? They're two completely different cars.

[cstrikeplaya]

im in love with shelbiesss ILYShelby:P

[warriorneverdie]

U right and i agree with u!

[Gwdler]

i have one and this is the greatest car ever...i can´t get enough of it :D

[knokoutboy]

this car is awesome but this show is horrible it doesnt do this car justice watch garage 419 they really no how to show off cars and highlight them.

[shafoz]

why has a radio antenna? that is PREHISTORIC TECHNOLOGY, like the suspensions,

and it has not 500 BHP, but 447

[piwright42]

2008 Mustang Shelby GT 500 Ala Car and Driver:

Engine Order Code 99S

Engine Type Supercharged Gas V8

Displacement 5.4L/330

Fuel System SEFI

SAE Net Horsepower @ RPM 500 @ 6000

SAE Net Torque @ RPM 480 @ 4500

So where did you get your 447 horse power number? Then again why do you even bother to waste your precious time ragging on a two year old vehicle you do not like nor understand?

[FirebirdKnight]

In europe a cars horse power is measured by the output to the rear/front wheels not the crank.

[piwright42]

I can appreciate that, FireBirdKnight. Drive wheel power is a more realistic expression of potential performance. Still the car is an American car sold to a primarily American market. If the SAE, (Society of Automotive Engineers), measure horse power at the crank then some credit should be given to the notion that it is a 500bhp, (Brake Horse Power which means measured at the crank), car. There is no false advertisement on the part of Ford when it comes to the power output of the Shelby GT 500.

[FirebirdKnight]

Yep I was just mentioning that the guy was from Europe where we measure HP in a different way, I love my muscle cars and appreciate the difference between them and Euro performance cars :).

[piwright42]

Trust me, FireBirdKnight, I was not offended by your comment. shaoz seemed to insinuate that there was an attempt at deception on the part of Ford, and I just wanted to clear that up. I think we are on the same page though when it comes to mutual respect for the differences between European and American performance. Still I would like the see the differences between them blurred a little more. It would be nice to see a stock Mustang hold with a BMW or a Jag in the corners before I die.

[FirebirdKnight]

Yea he was ott with that comment while Mustangs may not be my favorite muscle car I can appreciate them as great muscle cars. I'd like to see Ford pour more into the production value of the Mustangs as you said I'd like to see it hold it's own against a BMW.

I saw a video of it going around a track against a Lotus Elise and it just it's edge in the corner due to it still using a live rear axle. If Chevy can manufacture the Camaro with a limited slip diff etc why can't Ford?

[piwright42]

True that. I saw a similar match up between the Mustang and the Elise on Top Gear a ways back. Still I can't see a Mustang, even without a live axle, beating a Elise around the Top Gear proving grounds any time soon. When it comes to the live rear axle fail I could not agree with you more, despite the fact the the 2010 Mustang turns in harder, the Camaro enjoys a higher slalom speed because of it's independent rear suspension and LSD. A shame really the Mustang is 300lbs lighter than the Camaro.

[FirebirdKnight]

Yea I think that is actually where I saw it lol. True the Mustang without the live rear axle would have trouble beating the elise with the weight difference. I guess Ford are pushing the Mustang sales based on it's name and heritage rather than build quality.

[piwright42]

I am a fan of the of the old '66 Mustang, because I owned one. The new ones don't inspire me the same way. My loyalty to that old Mustang makes me protect the new ones. I agree though the Mustang could have a better build quality, a poor weather seal on the windows is just bad business. I learned to drive in a canyon with allot of corners, so yes I feel the Mustang would benefit from IFS and LSD. Though heavier and more expensive than the Mustang, the Camaro is the better car for the time being.

[FirebirdKnight]

I agree with you there I like the classic Mustangs they have character, the new one is just a bit on the chunky side for me I know it's got to be bigger for all the new required safety features but still :).

With the new Camaro out I'd expect Ford to raise their standards on the Mustang build it would be suicide not to.

[piwright42]

The Camaro has without question raised the bar, Ford needs to step up and find a way to meet the challenge. Consider that GM built the Camaro on the Australia based Holden, Commodore platform. Now think of the Mustang's roots. The '66 Mustang was based on the US Ford Falcon, which is still made, and raced by Ford of Australia. If the Commodore and Falcon compete in V8 Supercar, then perhaps Australia is where Ford should look for the solution to the Mustang's handling woes.

[FirebirdKnight]

Seems like a logical choice Aussies seem to know what they are doing when building cars :).

[redd7188]

how so? the camaro is an image car thats not even comfortable

[piwright42]

To do honest I have not driven the new Camaro so I have no right to speak for it's comfort. I can only go by what the reviews have said. The fact that the 2010 Camaro maintains a higher slalom speed despite it's higher weight and softer suspension settings supports my assertion that Ford should offer the option for an independent rear end to interested buyers. Bear in mind that in the real world curves have bumps mid corner.

[juanm429]

It puts down about 447 to the wheels, but the engine does provide 500 horsepower.

[HomesliceDrummer]

Obviously that guy is just retarded and doesn't know anything.

lol

[xWARBRINGER]

2:05

did u have traction control on?

lol

no smoke! just skids...

[dgguy111]

Plz tell me you ppl aren't going to get this SVT over the Roush 427R? Much better car that outperforms this car in every way. Sadly the 500 just isnt performing up to its price tag =(. If you want a name, get the GT500.. if you want performance, get the Roush. Not to mention the last batch of roush was the last to be made. Resale value on them will be amazing.

[mytalkingmouth]

we're deciding on this, its for on sale in the local delarship for $45,000CAN or we're looking at an Infiniti G37S for $50,000. Think you'd stick with the muscle? Or the foreign luxury

[FirebirdKnight]

Go for the new Camaro better build quality :).

[piwright42]

That was a good comment. I have some good news for you as well. Roush is bringing back all three stages of the 427R for the 2010 model year. Also if you are interested Steve Saleen is has thrown his hat back into the ring with announcement the SMS 460 and SMS 460X.

[3xtr3m3PwNag3]

I think i got a boner

[robinladen63915]

Love that car!

[lemonpie6]

how much does a gt 500 2010 cost about? i love mustangs they r the best car in the world! they give american muscle cars a REALLY good name

[AJ5354]

46,578 why are going to get one iam

[BeboAltizer]

could i replace my f150's 5-speed tranny with a Tremec TR-6060 like whats on this car?

[Adam44516]

LOL the narrarator sonds like Alex De Large from Clockwork Orange.

[othehitmans]

LOL he does

[undead600]

only GAYS Don't like the mustang....

but this car ROX^^

[enuxsg]

@undead600 Sorry to say, but I'm gay, I like Heavy Metal and that's what the car is for me - I just love it. A friend of mine drives a 2010 Shelby GT 500 and I've tested it. I think this car rocks no matter if you love women or men.

[soarer205]

@undead600 or guys that rather the old real mustang... 69 fastback? yes please

[undead600]

@soarer205 i wouldn't mind if i had an old mustang, i like all mustangs ... but i dont like it when idiot people say mustang is a crappy car cuz it's hard to drive or they always come up with some cheap problems..which aren't true

[sphinxmunkey]

The video was bland, but the shot of the rear tires at the end OMG I need a set lol

[albertoteto2]

you are crazy

the gt500 is the best!

challenger too!

[masterd151]

Long live challenger? Youll be lucky if Chrysler survives as a company...period.

[Youvegotnothinonme]

damn wanker, speak english not english english.

[gjgray]

my god! that narrator sounds so posh and english lol

[dcnhvhb]

this guy sounds like an idiot.

[Headshot426]

I want to punch the narrator in the face

[zenithomega19]

"whistle of the compressor"

nothing like a little British civility to go along with the "ride".

still a bad ass car, don't think I would drop 56 k for one though

[xxxhilariousxxx]

its 65 K

but it is awesome

you could get it for like 40 k if it has like 10 k miles

[DODODOK]

um... the GT500 sticker price is 43,125.... The KR is 80K.

43k is not 65k

[DiEGO2DaBAY]

FORGED INTERNALS!!!!!!!!

[DiEGO2DaBAY]

i would love to see this car with a nasty, aftermarket twinturbo setup!!!!

[KalingaNations]

yeah.... better to have a turbo charger rather than a super charger

[papspito]

if anything look at my videos and ull c it.

[nicolucha]

regalenme uno de esos

[hottest1ever]

Can anyone pls tell me if there is such thing as an automatic transmission Shelby GT 500?

[atlanticblue98]

not from the factory, a couple people put the 5r55s from the gt and v6 for drag racing only

[hottest1ever]

Thanx.

[nemabass]

if there is i will be sick to my stomache

[myyvaine]

true..automatic sucks

[Bankotsu897]

yea automatic does suck manual is better because you can regulate speed

[makpak]

and it doesnt damage gear box.

[Bankotsu897]

yea your right

[MoParguytilidie]

just plain sexy! i love this car

[XAerozX]

wat a nice car , actually how much hp he have ? any1 can tell me ?

[amar354022]

500

[rudedude101]

badass car!!! i want one so bad

[AnDrEwEsTeS53]

slow

[vonfred54]

dont know bro he peeled the fuck out of that path at 2:00.

[c0c0asauce]

my only problem with this one over the early ones is that after 2 years you wont want it anymore because all the buttons, handles, and knobs will fall off and everything is plastic

[CrazyEskimo1212]

i wish ford would build the 6.1 hurricane V8 they have been promising us. they need to build a bigger engine for their trucks and their muscle car. i also agree that they need to do some turbocharging of their engines for example a twin turbo mustang Gt with the 6.1 would be unstoppable. also they need to build a powerstroke for the f150 and soon

[seniorcat03]

its coming...not sure if u know but the Ford "777" mod motor is a stroked version of the 6.2 thats in development for the 2010 mustang...its codenamed the 777 for its figures...7.0 liters, 700hp @7k rpms naturally aspirated

[CrazyEskimo1212]

oh sweet thanks for the info, will that be the only the shelby version cause i just want to know what will be the engine for the Mustang GT replacing the 4.6L that was in there up until now...do you know what that will be?

[missxxxinnocence85]

i think the mustang is getting a 302 again...its the same 4.6 3-valve 281 ci. but stroked to 302 ci. its supposedly goin to make 350hp and maybe the BOSS 6.2 4-valve for the next gen GT500. the 2010 GT will be underpowered when compared to the camaro but it'll be cheaper as usual, which leaves money left over for mods to beat camaro and challenger all over again.

[marcusdearmond123]

what year is it set to come out cus right now i am saving for the down payment, on a 07 gt500, but i think i am willing to wait for the 777.

[DODODOK]

Nice car!! Whats with the RANDOM B-17 at 3:40?! WWII bombers are not GT500's!!. Nicer plane anyways lol

[HypnoticSuggestion]

I own a 2004 Terminator Cobra, a bit cheaper than the new GT500 heh, basically the same engine, just 110hp less. But because the shelby is so heavy, the '03/04 Cobra's can usually out pace them in a straight line, even through the corners as they have a IRS, where the Shelby is a live axle.

Great cars tho, my friends father just bought one, I love it!

[Avatarblackwolf]

God bless Shelby

[Aguila852]

Why does ford always had superchargers to there sports cars? can they make bigger engines? They always use the cheap triton 5.4 or the 4.6

[seniorcat03]

triton 4.6&5.4 are truck engines, that and the modular architecture (tight cylinder spacing) doesnt allow for alot of cubes. its so much easier to make power with FI, which correct me if im wrong, is what any gearhead would want. the 4.6 terminator cobra can easily make twice its factory rating of 390hp. evolotion performance just made over 1000hp on a TT-GT5OO STOCK BLOCK/INTERNALS. we should be greatful a manufacturer builds their engines to take the abuse like Ford/SVT does

[98musclestang]

those cheap motors make good horse power is why they use them.

[Avatarblackwolf]

Aguila852......is there something wrong with 500hp?

injection is nice, but I would rather be blown.....

[Aguila852]

My favorite car is The Z06=505HP im just wondering why ford had superchargers and not only a bigger engine.

[Avatarblackwolf]

My favorite car is The 550 hp Ford GT.

and why does chevy use a supercharger on the new ZR1?

[Aguila852]

MY FAVORITE CAR IS THE Z06 NOT ZR1 and yes the ZR1 is Supercharged but it has a 6.2L not a 4.6L or 5.4L plus a independent suspension not solid

[MechanicV8]

There wasnt enough space in the hood for a supercharger in a LS7 i believe, i read it somewhere, so they had to put a supercharger in a LS3, however i think they added more displacement than usual LS3. anyways just proves that chevy beats ford.

[seniorcat03]

actually GM felt the cylinder walls in the LS7 were too thin to handle boost so they went with the LS3 for reliability. evolution performance built a TT-GT500 that made over 1000hp on the stock block/internals...your LS7 cant do that without EXTENSIVE mods...9:1 compression pistons, forged crank and rods, and headporting. the lingenfelter TT-Z06 needed all this to keep up with the FGT-TT with its stock block internals...DOHC 5.4> OHV 7.0

[air1986]

ha i couldnt agree more im not the only one who notices and thinks that

[BIGEN8991]

ha i raced one of these in my gto and got smokeddd

[germansc]

the most amaizing car for me, I love the mustangs and this is the one of the best

[stangman281v8]

6 speed manual, does not come in a auto

[johnstar18]

is it stick

[02Gtspyder]

I love this car. I am 22 years old. I will own this car before I am 27.

Cause I had the time to drive this car. An the time to spin it out.

[patmagroin20]

Finally an unbiased review on this American Badass!  I love it....
