This thing is awesome!! I think Carroll Shelby is smiling down knowing that it did go to get crushed. Can't wait to see the progressive build on this shark
Go find a wrecked one and do it. However as Cletus found out weight reduction has it's limitations. Race cars have bodywork for a reason. His car makes enough power to run high 6's but he's stuck in the mid to high 7's.
For everyone talking about Leroy hotrod did this in the late 80's with a caddy. Look up caddyhack. They dropped a huge caddy into the 12's with weight reduction and they documented it piece by piece.
This is what they call a window maker. The car has attempted to kill someone at least twice and the thing keeps getting revived till it gets to take someone with it.
This guy is the man, im so glad to see a ford kart! I cant wait to see this with its twin turbo setup, hopefully he'll name it lejay or jimbob or something cool haha, now alls we need is a hellcat redeye or even demon cart to give life back to one of those totaled demons.
@@raevalerio4545 Oh wow thanks for the reply man, and hell yeah thats an awesome name. Fits the car perfectly, im really looking forward to seeing more of it. I really hope you start making videos with it, i just subbed to hopefully catch them.
Does anyone remember the magazine that took an Evo and kept removing parts and drag racing it to see how much faster it would go? It may have Super Street or Tuner Mag, something like that. This reminds me of that article.
its a process. very little money has been spent and I have a lot to do b4 a 7s pass can be achieved. I wanted a single digit pass and I achieved that. In fat its the 1st and only gt500 to ever run 9s with a stock motor.
It's weird that Florida was transformed from the weird old people state, to the freedom state lol. I never appreciated Florida until Covid and my business was saved thanks to being in the state. Had I been in 95% of other states I would likely be homeless now with no business and no job. Our economy is booming right now. Its truly bizarre.

Negative. I am my own Person and very far from being envious of anyone. Yes his build was inspiring yet he did that to his c5 by choice and with a purpose not so in my case. I'm simply using the same concept after my car was technically totaled. But then again aspiring to be as good as Cletus is a bad thing? I don't know him personally yet but striving to be like him or looking up to someone that has "made it" is most definitely a positive in my book. So yes remember the name it will get more popular with time. Skeletor is not the only car I own. many toys waiting to see the spot light just wait you will get a chance to see them all.
@@raevalerio4545 no matter how hard you try you'll always be known as cleetus 2.0 (which is a bad thing at all) and I respect your build. You've got ALOT of potential in that vehicle. I love it. Most definitely one with a story. You can thank your friend for breaking it lol. Myself and many others are excited to see what you do with this thing.
Everyone sayin dude copied Leroy thiers more.than just him it's a cool ass car and its fast if I had completely totaled gt500 I would.cut it up too 9 sec all.factory motor 6 speed its fuckin cool guys stop Hatin I love the car man gotta be a blast to drive
that's just at a private events or track requirements. I have a full double layer suit that I normally used with the rest of the gear Hans device, gloves, arm restraints...
I see Leroy spent some time over at Neighbor's house last summer.
😂😂😂
🏆👏
Ford's version of Leroy
Good one. 😂😂😂
He's got a lot to catch to Leroy
He saved his buddy's life twice. Once getting him medical assistance, and the other by not killing him when he got there.
This man backs the RPM act.
*Seeing the words “GT500” and “Go Kart” in the same sentence terrifies me to an unholy extent.*
What about an r1 motor on a unicycle
kudos for keeping the front bumper, gives it an identity easy to remember
In 5 years there’s going to be a “kart klass” at racing events.
I was gonna say they need to make that class because theres starting to be a few out there.
I say that all the time ...its coming "King of the Karts shootout"
EPA won't allow that ☹️
There already is

It’s the anti-Leroy!
😆
My ass leroy did a 7.7 2 days ago so definitely not any kind of competition
YEEEEES
It will never beat leeroy.
@@AudiA4Life Leroy is the shit
This thing is awesome!! I think Carroll Shelby is smiling down knowing that it did go to get crushed. Can't wait to see the progressive build on this shark
Leroy's brother from another mother
That's how the mighty "Leroy" started out so I'm excited to see where this thing goes!
That front bumper leaning to the passenger side is driving me crazy lol
I will fix that. I did notice it was way off specially when I saw this video TRC made.
Well that looks terrifying to drive
On the street its a hand full but at the track its glued and surprisingly stable. At least for now with low hp.
Man, imagine a Hellcat stripped down to just frame.

Rule #1 don't let anybody drive your car. Especially powerful rear wheel drive cars without any experience.
@@dj4monie All you need is a fiberglass nose, fixed doors card, plexi side windows and a tailpiece and it's still going to weigh nothing.
@@phantomflame0658 I know, I would put the body back on, transfer all the hardware to a standard GT or drop the engine in a kit car. That's just me.
worst than stock
Damn he was shifting the fuck outta those gears man!! Perfect shifts!! Fast and the furious shit!!
There can only be one Leroy ☝️
We just gonna ignore the fact that, that 8.29 was a world record MR2 pass
It was a roll race not a dig
Oh true
After taking off from the green light at over 60 miles an hour....🤔
Sport Compact Car magazine did this back in the early 2000s with a Sentra.
I wasn't even into sport compacts back then - but I ALWAYS picked up a copy of SCC, easily the best tech in the SC scene
I remember that piece, I still have that magazine somewhere in my attic lol.
yeah great memories from that magazine, man
Sentra was my first car loved that little thing
Doesn't the Vette do 8.1? Better get those hair dryers in there...
Devastating turn of events that produced this masterpiece
I was just thinking this
Much respect for you sir. You are a humble man.
That mr2 was movin.
This gives a whole new definition of "ALL MOTOR" 🤔🤣
I am so happy to live vicariously through this video. This is the hot rod Mustang that has been haunting my dreams.
For everyone talking about Leroy hotrod did this in the late 80's with a caddy. Look up caddyhack. They dropped a huge caddy into the 12's with weight reduction and they documented it piece by piece.
These youtube youngins think Cleetus is the pioneer.🤣
you also failed to mention a corvette was done too!
@@pirsq314 after the caddy
Hot rod mag did it with the c4 corvette like 15 years back. Roadkill still makes badass videos with that corvette.
This is what they call a window maker. The car has attempted to kill someone at least twice and the thing keeps getting revived till it gets to take someone with it.
Widow maker
@@kaos42o79 Oops lol. Let it remain unedited to serve as a reminder.
"It's bone stock, nothing to make it go faster... except a built trans, bias-plys, holley terminator with a hot tune. But other than that, its stock.
Now we need a heads-up between cleetus and this guys stang that would be a good kart race
You can replace a car but not a good friend. But I would never let him live it down 😆
This guy is the man, im so glad to see a ford kart! I cant wait to see this with its twin turbo setup, hopefully he'll name it lejay or jimbob or something cool haha, now alls we need is a hellcat redeye or even demon cart to give life back to one of those totaled demons.

This needs to be on Hoonigan
The coolest car you have ever seen
LOOKS LIKE CLEETUS INSPIRED SOME BUILDS
Cleetus was far from the first to strip a car..
Great Shelby Sir, shout out to Ol'man Cleet and Leroy
Was there when they hit the 9. They worked for it. Looking forwards to the twin turbskies!
Props to you brother for staying positive. Enjoy your rig. 🙂
Thanks!!!
Rae is such an awesome guy! I remember this car when he bought it. He's got a shop names Affordable Auto Performance in SW Florida
This guy is cool as ...
Nice project, like he said 5hit happens and now you ride it at event like those, race family right there!!!
Peace out
Should name this one Earl. Leroy and Earl
Damn that thing is wicked!!
I've been eating snooker balls...
Fords love it keep em coming 👍
we need a stripped down hellcat to complete the holy trinity now
This guy is so cool.
that dude can shift !!!!
Leroy been getting it in I see baby leroys everywhere now
Leroy's evil twin....Delroy
Great project , realy like it gl to u guys!
It's going to be Leroy's nemesis
Nobody gonna comment on the fact that the mr2 in the other lane beat the world record 1/4 mile....
Started from a roll bro
That was a roll race....
@@ZaiRWhammy you right but peep @nos51 on IG. They did actually beat the world record
Cleetus WcFarlland Approves. LOL!!!!
Aerodynamics doesn’t exist for this guy😂
Congrats Ray!!!
Why are we even talking about the Shelby.. That MR2... wow.... And was peddling the brakes too...
Same Boostedboiz exhaust setup on that Mr2
Its a great value Leroy
supercharged pepsi can 😈
now wait a second hear me out. "Shelby kart" right? does that mean for short it's the Shart?
I sharted yesterday getting out of my car
@@codyrichey810 hell yeah

Aside all the Leroy references, this thing dialed in a little more will be a problem
That 3rd being ran out is what got it 4th you can hear it layover. 3rd and needs more spice and shorter also 4th.
Love it hope to see this done up soon
I think is time for a RUclips channel for all to follow the build. yes or no?
He’d be deep in the nines if he fixes that aero drag. Even a little ducktail around that rear opening.
its a process. very little money has been spent and I have a lot to do b4 a 7s pass can be achieved. I wanted a single digit pass and I achieved that. In fat its the 1st and only gt500 to ever run 9s with a stock motor.
The damn MR2 passes this
I fully thought when this video started it was going to be a car that was built to go against Leroy and f****** dam was I right
Currently replicating a 02 mustang to be the twin even sourcing a Shelby front bumper
This is awesome!!!
I hope this dude makes RUclips channel and we get to see the progress on the GT500 kart
This has to be Florida... guessing before video even starts.

This shit is gonna take off. So many karts are about to get made into track monsters. Just imagine this turned into an off roader too. My god
Already done, B is for Build did a cart corvette for off-road
b is for build is doing a exo lambo rn for baja racing
@@user234ization they did the cart off road vette a couple years ago already

What does it weigh?
Running down the road to see if your car I mean friend are ok & saving a life are slightly different.

Wow that has never been done before
Think you missed the joke ^

All that hacking and still got spanked by a clean and actually drivable MR2 that was pedaling.
