[07ShelbyCS]

dog box tranny= ftw

[TheDegree777]

maybe he was being to hard on the brakes?

[helloman1976]

Very cool video thanks.

[rpRSR]

I was hoping to see this race car in the FIA GT3 series. Although I am a fanatic of Porsche Motorsports' racers, this is a cool vehicle.

[seniorcat03]

@rpRSR FYI its already racing in FIA GT3, its run by Marc VDS Racing. they also have a GT1 program but they run the GT supercar...

[Quatermain98526]

Do they really need to add the Rice wing to a Mustang...?

[RSNitsua]

@Quatermain98526 Lol it's not a ricer thing to have a huge wing on the back, ever watch formula 1?

[dirtbikedude91]

@Quatermain98526 I mean I guess they do since it's a race car. But I still say they can design something better looking than that shit

[ZR1Terror]

Looks very fast...

[ohyes247]

fuck the toyota hybrid the ford fusion gets 10 more mpg's and has leather seating

[talindongo155]

you blow a wheel

[websslinger]

After I fucked up this car - BANG! - I had to put someone's dick in my mouth....

[johnnymac2k12]

BANG!

[Rosinini1]

could that guy shut up? god damn... ruins the whole video! -.-

[Meph7447]

@Rosinini1 Actually its the whole point behind car and driver videos. They're not here to show a montage of the car but more so give information about the car.

[leokazoc]

car sounds insane

[thekkl]

Man, this guy sure says BANG! a lot...

[crazyboy47]

same sound on NFS shift

[DuDaze1981]

"BANG" that guy is annoying

[jakashh]

It really gets to you. So subtle.

[latkeeeeeeee]

asdgsgdsga

[grinmaster1]

you see how the car understeers a lot... doesnt look as much fun as the daytona prototype!

[thekkl]

@grinmaster1 Yeah but keep in mind that while this is certainly one of the more expensive Mustangs, it's still gonna be a helluva lot cheaper than any real race cars.

[SagaraSouske]

Wow that looks really fun.

[bloodynikka1]

kick azz

[melvinifudu]

I need a sequencial gearbox for my GTO 04. Or better yet, that Ford Mustang.

WOW!

[tylerm8]

one evil race car.

[Yonsen8]

love that car's noise....ooooh....

[kizzymeow12]

Ya thats very amazing it can stay that stable after blowing out a tire. At that speed. But it it does mean one of two thing. One driver to hard on the brakes. Two very touch brakes.

[bloodynikka1]

i knew ford was holdin out on the consumers...never heard of a zr1 that colud do that.....

[originaldriver]

@bloodynikka1 Are you fucking kidding me? Does ALMS ring a bell?

[585balla]

WOW that supercharger is sex.

[super6wheelman]

I dont think this motor is supercharged

[tasteslikes0be]

that wining sound is the sequental gear box, it doesnt even have a supercharger

[seniorcat03]

no supercharger here, Roush-Yates 5 Liter V8, naturally aspirated....the whine comes from the gears in the tranny

[bfef123]

damn nice mustang

[Pannel12]

BANG BANG BANG BANG. How many times can this guy say bang in one sitting?

[undecidedend02]

that is a massive spoiler!!!

[MoParguytilidie]

HA fuck that you really think an evo could beat this mustang? in what MPG? maybe yes but drift, the stangs already there, drag stang was born there, circuit the 2010 mustang gt 500 gets better wheels weight dist-and suspensioin tuning-and its there. i like the EVO but im just stating the facts -and i still own a mustang myself :-P

[markag6]

I used to live about 20 min from that track.

[musclemustang94]

awsome car.

[southnyourmind]

so people base a car's durabilty and dependability on tire failure? i didnt know ford made tires...and i didnt know tires are directly connected to the engine....learn something new each day -sarcasm by the boat load- id take this car all day....i love it...

[krzykid6969]

and how dose driver error ( him locking the tires and flatspotting them) mean this car is unreliable??

[southnyourmind]

i never said that...im the one saying the same thing you are saying....cept i spell my words correctly...

[krzykid6969]

i was adding on to your point.

[southnyourmind]

ooh...my bad....

[krzykid6969]

lol thats ok and yah i know my spelling was shit...

[tubeyou997]

@southnyourmind You don't take into consideration that if he could sense when the wheels were locked up, he wouldn't have the problem of having a flat spot. So it is the cars fault. Not to hate on Ford.

[aznbmxer182]

very cool car

[VeeDubbChad]

oh there it is BANG!

[lazymexican90]

all of you guys base your opinions about this mustang on this video huh? anyone ever actually watched it race? check out SPEED channel sometime its not a bad car at all....

[whitefangv]

This guy is so corny.

[AestheticPerfection4]

Evosport e60 M5 would make its bitch!!! :)

[perrin1303]

NEWMAN!!!

[89crix]

A ford broke down?! Unheard of! lol What's new? Atleast ford was nice enough to circle their problem (*READ* emblem) :P

[seniorcat03]

ok for starters its an oval so go back to elementary and if you know anything about racing, tire failure happens all the time, especially when you flat spot them

[smokefast90606]

locking up the brakes and you cant feel it i call that a numb ass car racecars are supposed to communicate with the driver try racing this thing a few laps and you find out this think is p.o.s fucked over rebuilt dodge ha fordand i own a stang thats the shitty part

[macaddict3032]

I call it an under experienced driver. I can feel the brakes lock up in a crown vic.

[djkaseone]

In actuality if you can lock up the brakes flat spot AND blow out the tire and not really know it. That makes for a VERY stable racecar. Alotta racecars do nasty stuff when a tire goes at 100+mph

[indyschmidt]

Ugh, I want one.

[Vespahipcat]

WOW!

Great car and some great driving!

That has to be a 10/10 on the fun factor scale.

[JESUSFAN7777777]

Wow I like that tranny. Nice.

[dude99966]

I thought you broke the brake line and it was dragging on your wheel. That has happened to me once and it is very scary. The line punctured the tire and is caused the loaf to catch the wheel and drag it toward the axle which bent the spline. I'm glad to see that didn't happened to you, and I'm glad to see you're not pussy footing it. Cheers!

[whynot9899]

You were freaking lucky. 1. You DROVE the FR500 and 2. Well, what happens to most people when ya get a flat at 100+. lmao good vid. lmao

[adogg619]

Man that looked like a lot of FUN though!

[rrtx2007]

THAT was sweet. If you don't break anything then you haven't pushed it hard enough, right?
