rightpedal episode 1: 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT-H

[merovyngian]

Hey I'm in Long Island New York. I checked the Hertz website and can't find one. Can you help me?!

[Spetzie]

@merovyngian They are out of the rental fleet! You can buy one on Ebay!

[MrFuroius1972]

Understeer? What is this guy talking about?

[dadoody]

Performance wise? This car is mediocre. The reasons I drool over it? I like how it looks and I like the rumble.

[wonderbreadkw]

i want that hood for my v6 :D

[dadoody]

@wonderbreadkw - You can order one. CS6 hood.

[TheHertz07]

These cars are rare only 500 made!! Value will go up on these babys!!

[Kokelhexx]

The only good Mustang is a 1976 GT ^^

[EMHbelmonte]

You mean the dressed up pinto

[GIJOE1955]

I bouught a 2007 GT-H July of 2009. It will put a grin on your face when you drive it, Don't forget to turn off the traction control and turn off the over drive button. You will get more RPM

[losangelos]

I rented it twice and put more than 7000 miles on it during my last trip. I think it's a little weak. I'm from Germany soi the car should have impressed me but it didn't.

[buuye]

gay car

[GIJOE1955]

buuye Why do you say this car is gay?

Do you know the history a about Shelby Automobiles?

[MrMustang522]

u mom is a shemale so suck her dick

[buuye]

i bet ur a loser who has never had a pretty girl and has a piece o fuck car

[shawnleenassim]

can you buy one?

[fenixwylde]

anyone know where i can rent one near Palm Coast FL?

[rightpedal]

yes, try the Hertz at the Palm Beach airport. The one at Ft Lauderdale or Miami should have them too, unless they discontinued the program.

[fenixwylde]

thanks, but that's a bit far from the Flagler / Palm Coast area :)

But hey, if it cheap it might be worth a 4 hr drive :D

[markag6]

Looks like he didn't know about the mod to turn traction control off.

[kh3m1c4l]

i agree completely lol. people buy it cuz the way it looks feels and sounds. not cuz of the tech or performance.

[consi]

the V6 stang slower than a nissan altima? Im not sorprised few V6 can keep up with te VQ35 engine. I own a 2005 altima with a few bolt ons and owned a 1994 camaro z28 with flowmasters, thats a 5.7 my friend.

[S1K07GTSTANG]

No one cares what cars you own or how cool you think they are...this isn't a video on fags that drive Altimas; if it was, then you'd fit right in.

[consi]

well, s1k07gtstang, the guy on the video was the fag downsizing the Altima. He should've just comment about the stang without comparing others. My comment is just a reaction to his failure as a car reviewer

[S1K07GTSTANG]

Every one of the Top Gear car reviewers compares the cars they're reviewing with other cars, and this guy is no different. Just because he compared the Mustang to a piece of shit Altima and it hurt your feelings doesn't mean you have to comment about it. Grow a pair and get over it.

[xmodrock]

..... i personally like the mustang... and the GT-H well... its awesome... V6 stags are just as heavy but without the V8.. thats why they are so slow... personally (this is aimed at Cheezgrated) that BMW wouldn't put a grin on my face.. it has the sound of a slow little V6.. and wow 2 turbos to make 300HP? that V6 ford makes somthing like 210HP and with twin turbos much more than 300HP... so yea the mustang puts a smile on my face..

[cheezgrated]

The BMW 300 hp I6 twin-turbo did not put a grin on his face?

The interior is cheap, but who cares?

The handling sucks, but who cares?

It's 2008, not 1964. I expect better.

3/5? I agree with a previous commenter that the reviewer seemed to like the car a lot.

[mustflyhigher]

i like american cars and mustang is one of my favorites but they r just not even close zip code to German engineering .

[stiqman]

seemed like you had an approval of the car. yet you only gave it a 3 out of five. thats awfully low for a car that overcomes it shortcomings. i just wouldnt expect to see a smile on the face of a 3/5 review. good show though.

[rightpedal]

we actually shot back in January, and only after our sketched out plans for other cars went up in flames. So these two cars were last-minute. again, almost zero budget, trying to raise $ to do it right. No $2M/episode like our BBC friends.. :) We'll do MUCH better, that's a promise.

[gforce23]

Nice review. But you don't think you're a bit too late in reviewing this car? I mean, the GT-H was released way back in '06. In fact, I rented one almost 10 months ago.

Nevertheless, it's a pretty good effort in a semi-pro sort of way.
