Our GT500 might not have taken every race win, but it definitely stole our hearts. Ford better have something really special in mind if it plans on replacing one of the best muscle cars ever made. Leave us a comment about what you'd like to see.
There was a press release not to long ago and it clearly stated that Ford has no plan whatsoever to ever do away with the Mustang and the V8 engine. They will continue to build both.😎
In my opinion it would have been a little more fair to throw a wayy better tire like a MT ET street or a Toyo r888 on the Shelby for those awd or rear mourn engine races!!
my dad just passed away Friday June 21sr and he loved these matches being a ford guy. He has a 72 Ford Gran Torino with the supercharged 5.4L shelby gt500 engine called project breathless. Checked it out its an amazing car that he actually pulled apart to make better at his passing. I would love to find someone that would put it together for our family to continue to spread awareness of pulmonary fibrosis which he caught fro. oils he was working with at a factory he worked at. he had the car since he was 17 and I always wanted to see his new dream of it come true.
GT500 is really not a dig/launch car. Most things take it off the line. On the highway or any roll on speeds it’s literally a super car killer. Absolute weapon. Mine hooks up from 1st gear doing a 20-40mph roll no problem (live in a warm climate). 60 roll is where it really shines.
The GT 500 is definitely my all time fav muscle car. Especially its aggressive rumbling at a low speed rolling, sounding like a helicopter. What a machine And much love to you guys for putting the hard work to present us a lovely content 🤍
The Shelby GT500 is my favorite performance car on your channel. I was amazed with it's top end speed and the GT500 cornering . I'm wonder how many sets of tires did you use on the GT500.
Im a chevy guy own a gen 6 camaro but i still like the mustangs. Specially the GT 500 if i could own them all the GT 500 would be one of the cars at top of my list. The Z06 won the race here but it should. GT 500 held its own definitely a awesome car. With a little aftermarket work the GT 500 really comes to life for the money definitely one of the best cars out there.
@@partyboys6000 just cause it’s looks better doesn’t mean quality there 😂 and your fake jd power awards don’t count cause they pass those out like participation awards 😂 But yes they do have more collectors trims that hold there value like the Indy pace cars , the slp models and zr1
I like how they switch drivers between races, in order to prove that the driver doesn’t matter. Race 2 is always the same result. Also impressed that Hagerty stopped filming long enough to let Edmunds shoot some videos at Willow Springs.
Actually they switch drivers because one of them is a better driver and it's noticeable. The results on race one and two are never the same as the distance is typically either bigger or smaller depending on the results of the first race. But yes the track is simple enough that even with that the car typically beats the better driver.

I have a 21 GT in the same color orange. It's a 6 speed car and fast enough for me, i really wish i wouldn't have went with orange though, i get pulled over almost every weekend.
Really? I thought it got owned by almost everything. My 24 MYP would destroy it. Still though put some drag radials and a pulley swap and it will destroy every car here.
What are you going to do with the GT500? You should either give it away through a raffle or auction it off with proceeds going to you favorite charity...what do you think about that?
(Asking from USA) Is the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 the best STOCK "roll-race"/Highway race car (quickest from about 40 - 120 MPH/65 - 195 KPH) in it's price range? What STOCK car can decisively/consistently beat it from 40-120 MPH/65-195 KPH that's EQUAL price or CHEAPER? Thanks for any help .
When it comes to launching a Shelby GT500 you definitely need a better driver than any of them, launching an all-wheel drive and a four-wheel drive, it's like having training wheels on bike. A perfect launch would have destroyed the Corvette ZO6.
Dark Horse Roush Stage 3 with a 3rd Fun Pedal Tremec Rev-Match 6 Speed Manual Transmission 👩🏻🚀🤘🏻🏎️🏁🚩🌲🌲⛰️ Podium Package has Active Aero Better than Saleen, or Shelby American
"3rd fun pedal". sure you can have fun but you arent winning races. that dual clutch transmission in the gt500 is devastating. Didn't the put that same transmission in the new 1064hp zr1???
@paulbock1435 I've won plenty in my day, I don't need to go on the straight away, dragstrip. I enjoy long trips staying awake for 37 hours. With the Automatic Paddle Shifters I could only stay awake 22 hours. Not fun especially in the Canyon Roads. Road Course the standard converter last longer than the Belted DCT Automatic Paddle Shifters Transmission. Already, tested on same track the 3rd Fun Pedal Manual Transmission is 0.8 faster than the Automatic with the Same kind of car
the little guy on these videos is the worst driver. always the slowest to react to the start, always the worst launcher, always the worst turner. His only 'skill' is that he's 5'5" and weighs 50lbs less than the other normal sized drivers.
The only reason the corvette won is that it weighs over 800 lbs less and has the engine over the rear wheels! The Shelby has a much more powerful motor! But the weight of the Mustang. Slows it down!!
@@carguy7627 they're going from a GT500 which is substantially faster than a supra and an emira. The fact both of them would be left so far behind on even mundane cars now like a Kia ev6 or m3p. It would be backwards to go there. They need something that's at least in the low to mid 11s so it stays relevant in the next couple years.
In maximum build guise, the Predator block has held 2930 whp and powered the Overall Sick Week winner last spring to a 6.26 @ 227mph. No oe cast engine has ever won Sick Week.
If you have the budget. A GTD would be an interesting replacement. Otherwise you'll need to wait until model year 2026 for the S650 GT500 or go with the new S650 Shelby Super Snake.
I own a GT500 and launching with tc on and off will cut your 0-60 time down considerably.. you have to turn the full esc off on these things to get the most power/ performance out of them. Trust me makes a difference
It’s just so funny to me that the hellcat is suppose to be “king of the straights” yet ford makes a stang that is actually built for the track and still gaps it in a straight line 😂
If Ford would have fixed the launch delay and dropped about 500 pounds,I think in a lot of cases it wouldn’t have lost. Of course 760 HP wheel rear drive. We’re at the point where these cars are now so fast we should be doing mile drags.
These races really show that having that weight over the rear with Mid or Rear engine placement make a huge difference for getting off the line. Hoping one of the new owners of a GTD let you guys put it through it's paces to see how that rear transaxle does once it ships out to customers.
You should check out some Porsche launch vids maybe in slow mow if you haven’t. I seen a high higher end street model and you could seen how nasty the launch is. Looks like it would rattle your teeth

Huge bang for buck. And the trap speeds on this thing.
This is one of the best sports car produced in the last 10-20 years at is price point.
Since the Shelby ran EVERY race,I'd say that gave the other cars,a distinct advantage! I'm very impressed with the Shelby!❤👍
That corvette z06 is a beauty now I want one
Why did it downshift? Why were you in auto and not manual in a roll race

For the next car, I vote for Corvette E-Ray. It's both combustion (rear-wheel) and EV (front-wheel).
And it runs out of power in 1-2 races
I own a GT500 and launching with tc on and off will cut your 0-60 time down considerably.. you have to turn the full esc off on these things to get the most power/ performance out of them. Trust me makes a difference

Such bad Launches. The Mustang would had one almost every race. Except the Corvett. That went crazy lol
Beat a demon then come talk
One of the worst hp/performance ratio, like ever. getting a tight win to a 530hp M4 is madness
Nsx Type S
GT350 would be nice to see.
I always considered your Edmund's GT500 to be the standard to compare all of their other cars they test by
I watching this on my TV but had to come comment. Broooooo those launches with the Mustang were so bad. Barely launched it ever.
Excellent video. U have to respect the Corvette
If Ford would have fixed the launch delay and dropped about 500 pounds,I think in a lot of cases it wouldn’t have lost. Of course 760 HP wheel rear drive.
