No it is not brutally fast. Far from it. Every base 911 from this century does that - and it still goes around corners fast. That remake Shelby is just marketing BS. Cashing in on an old legend. Nothing more. It never earned any merits on its own. If you want exciting V8 - get a classic V8 from the 60s or 70s. Completely different league. If you want to drive fast on the Autobahn - get a 911, fast BMW or Merc (or any super car from the 80s will be fast enough) - or at least a modern Corvette.

Never thought I would see the day where a production Mustang hits 189 MPH on a public road. I remember running my 67 Shelby Mustang from the Jones Beach Tower to Oak Beach Inn on the south shore of Long Island back in the 1990's. We hit 140 to 150 at best and it was terrifying! Amazing how far things have advanced in 50 years but the spirit remains the same. Fun video :) Ciao, Zio
I guess there weren’t many troopers there that day lol, I drove there some months ago for the air show and I couldn’t count how many NYSP Chargers were available
@@Justin_GFM Well.... there were Troopers for sure. But we would do this at 6 AM on a Sunday morning, there was a small group of us (about 6 to 8 cars) and 2 of them WERE Troopers driving their toy cars. One was a late model Vette, the other was a Buick Grand National.
When it was new l took my 2000 Ford lightening for a 3am run up a nearly deserted stretch of interstate got 122 mph. Scared me but fun . Doing 187 mph would be definitely in the pucker zone . 😂
No turbos means pure sound and pure throttle response! And I like how there's not too much supercharger whine. Some people like it, but it always sounded like a car running in reverse to me..
Man it broke 190 mph. That's Daytona 500 top speeds. It looked like it could break 200 mph. But man, the drive by shot on top of the bridge, the sound of the predator! 🤩
The car can go faster than 190. It probably has a 750 HP engine. The only thing holding this car back from say 250 mph is aerodynamics/wind resistance and tires. Which is probably the only reason the Ford GT40 is faster - aerodynamics. BMW has a program that in some of their very highest speed models, you must go to Germany and train at their BMW facilities on how to drive it safely. The same program should be offered for the Shelby Cobras and GT40's. I wonder how many teenagers have turned into a greasy spot on a road because they thought they could handle a Shelby Cobra.
@@golfhound Probably not that many teenagers because what responsible parent allows their teenager to drive this car at all, let alone a dangerous speeds.
The 5.2L V8 is amazing but the real hero is it's transmission, that 7 speed Tremec DCT is so good, it honestly puts a DSG to shame, the GT500s of the past all had manual gearboxes and it kinda held the car back a bit, but this Dual Clutch really unleashes the brutality of this car, not only is it relentlessly fast, but the car is so well sorted and dialed in, despite weighing 4200lbs or 1905KG, you don't feel like you're driving a big boat, it's cornering limits are incredibly high. It's brakes are also just as brutal as the acceleration, 6 piston calipers front and rear the thing literally stops on a dime.
My father in law has the 2022 GT500 but he has never driven it faster than 90mph. Never been to the track before. Just sits in the garage. I cry in my sleep for this car.
You are a savage driver Max - I took one of these to 175 mph and thought I was losing my mind in that thing, meanwhile you're changing drive modes at that speed, hahah. Lots of experience driving fast cars shows.
You forgot to mention one thing about the Voodoo 5.2 V8 and the Predator 5.2 Supercharged. The Voodoo engine is a flat-plane crank engine while the Predator engine is cross-plane crank. The GT350 revs much higher than the GT500
Love the gt500. Man, the aero really hammers the top speed. I wonder how much of a difference putting the wing in the least aggressive setting would make.
So amazing, the Mustang has become everything I hoped it could be...I've owned 10+ and as a kid, I took a 1984 notchback with my friend's dad helping me and dropped a 302 into it...only 215+ Hp and I was the man..sleeper! I hit about 130 in my 93 Notchback..190 is fkn mind blowing!!!
Wow! This car already looked amazing but this spec is classic Shelby and is on fire! The Shelby GT500 is the very definition of a future classic and a moment in time car. Very well done and thank you for sharing. BTW it was perfect timing for the mustangs to come out to see what they helped to inspire.
Great video Max! You were laughing and having so much fun that I had sort of had a perma grin smile on my face the whole time watching it. Nice burnouts as well! LOL. I love the German wagons most of all but a good ole American muscle car burnout is something everyone should experience at least once.
I had my 2013 Shelby GT500 in Germany for 7 years. Hit over 200 MPH about a dozen times. I always thought about, "What would happen if I blow a tire at this speed?" That usually made me slow to 140/150 MPH which actually seemed pretty tame to me. Where we lived the autobahn was always being worked on, so on average you could only do the unlimited speeds for about 30 to 50 km and then the speed would drop to 120 KM/H for awhile.
Just got my 2020 GT500 today. Amazing car! And really easy to drive if you aren't hammering on it, and really even if you are. All depends how far your foot goes. Really balanced car though. So much instant power when you want it. I just dont have words to say. Get one. No regrets.
The exhaust is the whole reason I’m dying to get this car. It’s a beautiful car, indeed but that exhaust sound makes it absolutely amazing! My weakness
Seeing this is insane, I own one and it’s going to Shelby American to become the KR edition, over 900 Hp, I’m SOOO excited and this video makes me even more exicted!
Oh they did it! They got one without the speed limiter! I can't remember when I asked for that but I did ask, and now they've done it and here it is. Amazing
I had a short ride in a coworker's regular mustang GT manual and I could not believe how well it rode and handled for such a lead-heavy, snouty, weight forward car, I was honestly flabbergasted. I can't imagine what thid thing would feel like.
"Character," You said the engine has "character," soon after saying it is a "beast." We have owned a 2020 GT500 since 1/2/2020, taking possession of it five months after ordering it. I was so lucky, in having told our Ford dealer over 2 years prior to ordering it that when Ford came out with their next GT500 I wanted to place an order through him as immediately as possible. Back to your "name calling." Your descriptions and choice of names are all dead on. I have had some nice cars, to include a 1969 Shelby GT500 that is in immaculate, nearly perfect condition even after having 87,000 original miles put on it. Despite how incredible the 2020 GT500 is, the 1969 GT500 remains my all time favorite car - perhaps due to nostalgia to a large degree... Regardless, the video and your narration were excellent. I could feel the excitement with your every work. The passion. You definitely get what this latest iteration of GT500 is all about; its flawless performance, terrific street manners, braking that will take your breath away just as much as the unbridled acceleration, and the best handling car I have ever driven, to include some pretty exotic Porsches. I am glad I took the time to read and listen to this post, and watch the video. I lived in Germany from 1976 - 1977 while in the U.S. Army. I got to drive on the Autobahn quite a bit (near Stuttgart), but not in my 1969 Mach 1 (it stayed stateside, stored safely). Rather, I was driving a 1966 Ford Taunus (German Ford), with a v-4 and a 4 on the column tranny. It was an excellent transportation vehicle, but it was no Mustang, much less my Mach 1 (with its street/strip built engine, ruggedly beefed up FMX tranny, and fairly steep 3.0:1 ration rear axle which was perfect for a road like the Autobahn). The Mach 1 would been able to hold its own on the Autobahn with all but the fastest of supercars back then. But, the 2020 GT500 would have well been able to run with the big dogs, no doubt - and in total comfort along with its exhilarating performance. Thank you for raaking the time to produce this post. I get to live vicariously through you with the romp through Germany on some of its finest roadwaays.
I will never have the balls to go 190 mph on a road where other normal people are after driving here in the states, i just have no trust in people to not do stupid things.
@@yung829 the chassis is great the break who are often weak on muscle car are fantastic on this car The gearbox and a great too One of the best car in the world Just sad it cost 170k 🥲
The Best car reviewer on the internet and I love to hear this Germans enthusiasm for cars and to hear him admire what I think is the best American muscle car ever is cool to hear. That first run under the bridge sounded soooooo pure just in a sound class of its own.
11:36 At 186 mph I"m impressed how quiet the car is. The engine noise has gone down and I'm hearing hushed wind noise. It is jostling around a bit, but not bad at those speeds. I think I could drive a long time with it at those speeds given the right road. Hate wheel imbalance or whatever the imbalance issue. It could be its not the tire balance, but brake rotor or something else. It might be a bent wheel. It seems like a solid high speed car. It appears to have more interior space than the last Camaro. It has a good amount of power and seems more that capable with it. That engine with overhead cams is suppose to live just fine at 7,500 rpms. Thanks for the Drive!
This car has been my dream car since it came out, I'm now 22 but know for a fact that one day I will drive one myself, no matter what I have to do to get to that point💯
Pocas veces lo he visto tan contento con ese rugir de un motor como éste Mustang! ❤ Dios le permita seguir diviertiéndonos como niños con juguete nuevo! 🙏
Blake, set your car up correct. Remove the heat extractor rain shield, and deal with the spoiler. Would run right past 200mph. Before you add a pulley.
@@richardmodglin3900 yep…. The heat soak costs the GT500R 20-30mph top speed. Taking shield off fixes that. Get The GT500 with track pack with dive planes, and rear spoiler WILL prevent you from getting above 175.
@@p.k.7111 That is very impressive. Thank you! In my opinion, the GT500 is a much better buy over the Hellcat for the money, although the rear seat legroom is lacking compared to the Hellcat.
Great POV vid. Out of the several videos of yours that I watched where you drive other nice expensive european sports cars, it seems that you like this vehicle the most or more :)
You can almost see the gas gauge moving towards the "E". Nice car! So was the other hole, on the wail tail, brown? IDK, just curious! 😄 The graft that you put up @13:05, is that listed by speed, (1/8 mile maybe)? It's hard to believe there are 73 vehicles ahead of this car! Thanks for posting this sir!
Loved it loved loved it, I had a 08 convertible regular GT 6 speed M. and I was having so much fun like I would compare nothing to that ever to date, I feel ya, that must be amazingly something else, I need to test drive that can’t wait. I really enjoyed your video, thank you for sharing. God bless you and stay safe out there

Thank you for raaking the time to produce this post. I get to live vicariously through you with the romp through Germany on some of its finest roadwaays.
I will never have the balls to go 190 mph on a road where other normal people are after driving here in the states, i just have no trust in people to not do stupid things.
I totally agree at that speed skill is irrelevant you're just relying on other people's decision making
Americans have terrorized you? Yeah, we have some bad drivers but Europeans are very good. They get solid training
I went 140 on the highway between az and Cali. No cars around. It was awesome
@@StopWars420that’s some proper first world shit right there. everyone in america must have their own lane!
In Europe slow drivers know to drive in the right lane.
I am drooling, so proud an American company made this. Love his accent.
This is my dream top 1 car
Man in the perfect specs here what a fantastic beautiful beast
fr when I saw the spec my job dropped that track spec with the carbon rims was crazy
@@yung829 the chassis is great the break who are often weak on muscle car are fantastic on this car
The gearbox and a great too
One of the best car in the world
Just sad it cost 170k 🥲
7:45 well played 🐎
The Best car reviewer on the internet and I love to hear this Germans enthusiasm for cars and to hear him admire what I think is the best American muscle car ever is cool to hear. That first run under the bridge sounded soooooo pure just in a sound class of its own.
@ ok German ish
This dude was not f'n around at all in this video... Fantastic job
This is legit my dream car! So nice to see a review on it. Keep up the good work!
I am a CHEVY MAN, but that GT 500 is a beast
GT500 is the real deal! Best Muscle car out there!
that shot from the bridge was incredible
11:36 At 186 mph I"m impressed how quiet the car is. The engine noise has gone down and I'm hearing hushed wind noise. It is jostling around a bit, but not bad at those speeds. I think I could drive a long time with it at those speeds given the right road.
Hate wheel imbalance or whatever the imbalance issue. It could be its not the tire balance, but brake rotor or something else. It might be a bent wheel.
It seems like a solid high speed car. It appears to have more interior space than the last Camaro. It has a good amount of power and seems more that capable with it. That engine with overhead cams is suppose to live just fine at 7,500 rpms. Thanks for the Drive!
I have a 22 GT with just 450hp and that’s fun to drive for me. I can’t imagine the fun of the Shelby. Awesome video!
You could make 500+hp easy with a few bolt ons and e85 tune.
This car has been my dream car since it came out, I'm now 22 but know for a fact that one day I will drive one myself, no matter what I have to do to get to that point💯
Thank god Mustangs still sound nice!
Fantastic video, stunning car. I'm always amazed by your command of the English language!!
The sound of the engine is really touching.
I love my GT350, but having driven the GT500 a few times, it is quite a different car. On another level really.
Those bridge shots legitimately gave me goosebumps.
Best review of the Shelby GT500 in my books
Pocas veces lo he visto tan contento con ese rugir de un motor como éste Mustang! ❤ Dios le permita seguir diviertiéndonos como niños con juguete nuevo! 🙏

Blake, set your car up correct. Remove the heat extractor rain shield, and deal with the spoiler. Would run right past 200mph. Before you add a pulley.
I forgot to even look for that. Good greif that thing needs air!
@@richardmodglin3900 yep…. The heat soak costs the GT500R 20-30mph top speed. Taking shield off fixes that. Get The GT500 with track pack with dive planes, and rear spoiler WILL prevent you from getting above 175.
Eco activists crying in the corner😅
i took mine to pocono raceway cost only 300.00 bucks i hit 172 on main straightaway
HOW DARE YOU! 😂
I would tell them.
Don't like it?. Well. Then too bad, so sad, cry about it 😎🔥
Any problems in the corners ?@stevekline6004
Nobody cares about them activists
Best review ive seen of the GT500. I get it now. Cant believe how fast you got to 180
Wow! I was wondering how fast the GT500 would go without the speed limiter. By seeing this video, I am very much satisfied now.
It still has other restrictions too. Hopefully we get another vid soon with those removed.
@@TattleDelta OK! I look forward to seeing what the GT500 is capable of after those restrictions are removed also.
It does low 6.1sec 100-200kmh and 315kmh + with the wing in the high speed setting
@@p.k.7111 That is very impressive. Thank you! In my opinion, the GT500 is a much better buy over the Hellcat for the money, although the rear seat legroom is lacking compared to the Hellcat.
@@ericbritton8146 the gt500 can do 200 mph. I’ve seen it stock. He didn’t have the right mode on and neither was the wing in set position.
Great POV vid. Out of the several videos of yours that I watched where you drive other nice expensive european sports cars, it seems that you like this vehicle the most or more :)
When I am not driving mine, I come here to see what this beast can really do.
The review is hilarious. Pure, unadulerated joy. I am wetting my pants I want one so badly.
is ford aware of how much people love this car. one of my favorites of the modern era and I mean WHOLE era.
For me this is by far the best automitive chanel
THE FLY BY AT 12:10😂😂😂
Truly the last of a dying breed
The index of Max’s Laughing can let me feel what is GT500.
I'm from America, and on my first time in Europe, on the way to Spa-Francorchamps I saw a shelby and was quite surprised
You can almost see the gas gauge moving towards the "E". Nice car! So was the other hole, on the wail tail, brown? IDK, just curious! 😄 The graft that you put up @13:05, is that listed by speed, (1/8 mile maybe)? It's hard to believe there are 73 vehicles ahead of this car! Thanks for posting this sir!
Nothing better than a nice mustang!
This is the real sound 👌🏻
Mustangs have always been exhilarating to drive. Love the channel sir.
Max is the first guy drifting with mustang without crashing it to somewhere😅
Dream car! Had the chance to drive it on track for 3 laps. My eyes watered in the corners... Amazing experience!
Nothing quite like a supercharged American V8
bmw
When he explained that feeling of 80 percent and OMG there's more power. I've only felt that with my old R6 w a dyno jet. Was scary fast haha
Wonderful spoiler, other hole available if needed, also big tail pipe that fit a whole fist, what a beast 😂
This video had me smiling from ear to ear.. thanks for sharing.. cheers
My absolute dream car for sure. Better start working for it :D
I have a 2018 Mustang GT Premium 2. And am upgrading it to a GT500 Spec. I love it.
How insane is this combination...V8 and supercharger 💪
Jeez Louisee 😁
I love how it has an oil change sticker in the windshield from a Ford dealer in South Florida
What a stunning car,it truly is a work of art. 👍👍👍
Had the chance to drive my good friends Carbon track pack GT500 quite often, and it really is an incredible car.
😮😮😮... The way it gets up there is crazy👏👏
Seriously though.
That's what she said
Loved it loved loved it, I had a 08 convertible regular GT 6 speed M. and I was having so much fun like I would compare nothing to that ever to date, I feel ya, that must be amazingly something else, I need to test drive that can’t wait. I really enjoyed your video, thank you for sharing. God bless you and stay safe out there
Monster USA muscle....love it.
