I’m no stranger to how good American performance cars can handle around a road course, and have been able to for quite some time now… But a part of me is still impressed at how well a 4,100 lb Mustang hustles around a track, especially the green hell. Mustangs and Camaros alike are legitimate sports cars.
shmee shouldn't exist, but with the amount of pathetic losers look out there that choose their testosteroneless heroes by the bundle, it's no surprise this dork is here. easy pass
Out of every car I've driven - true race cars, modified beasts, expensive exotics... this was the only car that ever made me giggle like a school girl...
I got the ride in one of these not too long ago and the power combined with the sound is just truly unbelievable you are embraced in raw power and it’s exhilarating and truly to be experienced by anyone who loves sports cars… I was amazed at how soft the ride was, but gut wrenching fast !
The GT500 DCT is smart enough to know if you're on the track and will power shift on the straights but will smoothly shift if your on undulating roads and corners.
Like Shmee a lot, he really has a passion for cars and it shows by how much hes done to get better at driving and learning about motorsports, hes an awesome dude
Yup, im really scratching my head wondering why misha hasnt driven any of the new shmeemobiles. I dont wanna be weird or gossipy but something is up. Shmee must let people who know how to drive better than him drive, He let randy drive the GT500 in the US and Button Willow and let one of the FFF Collection guys drive the Black Series at the same track, Misha hasnt driven either at the ring........curious
@@rhmbob82 you break it you buy it essentially. There are pretty much zero insurance companies that insure cars for the Nordschleife. Even though it is a public road during Touristenfahrten. There are some exceptions but it's very very rare.
Been following Shmee for YEARS, before the massive car collection became his and he was photographing others. Always cool to see how far he really has come. Good video Misha.
Wow! It is great to finally see our American cars that can do more than burnouts and drag racing. A few of them coming down the pike these days. Plus, I do so love the sound of a throaty V8 with supercharger tones.
@@gerryjamesedwards1227 They’ve been able to for a looooong time; the stigma that they can’t is misplaced. Camaros and Mustangs have been good handling cars since the 70s.
The Voodoo is another story but every modern supercharged American V8 has been pretty bulletproof. It is hard to messup when you have loads of manufacturers still around with bolt on kits and decades of experience doing nothing but supercharging domestic V8s.
Usually the speed and the cornering forces aren't very obvious on camera, but watching Misha being thrown around in that passenger seat really highlights not only the immense power but also the weight of that beast!
No, Tim, it's not theater. Those multiple hood catches are all there to physically keep that big ass hood in place to keep aero going well at 165+ mph. The GTD is basically this car with a transaxle, DRS, and EVEN wider tires.
Not necesserally a big Mustang fan but I'm gonna give credit where it's due, they sound awesome! Carbon wheels are phenomenal, it's one of the best upgrade you can do to your car, it reduce rotational mass, acceleration, breaking, cornering and so on...But sooooooo pricey.
I sat in one a few weeks ago and the way they placed the dash cam facing the hood is actually how high the hood is. I'm 6'2 and I was barely able to see over the hood. Pretty huge hood.
14:26 A lot of that is due to differences in roads. In the US there's lots of long, wide, straight highways and so you get factory muscle cars with high HP and torque that are fast in a straight line but can't corner well. In Japan and lots of Europe, there are tighter, winding roads and so you get touring cars with decent power and excellent maneuverability.
You need 200TW tires to get on the throttle early with the GT500. I can't tell you how fast the car is with a proper tire setup. Not many cars scare me but the GT500 around Buttonwillow did. We never driver these cars with MP4S on track lol Out of the box def preferred the ZL1 1le if you want street tires but the GT500 is an animal.
Dat is het leuke aan Tim, met iedere auto die hij heeft rijdt hij ook, en het is voor hem pas compleet met een bezoek aan de Nordschleife met zijn auto's. Nu nog die andere twee, de Emira en de Zenvo.
that great big power bulge out front is very reasuring when you put your foot down on the Ring....and yes...i think Misha would have prevered it if he could have driven it...but no chance for that with this guy...cheers.
Hopefully, someday the Dark Horse or even better the Dark Horse R will arrive at the Nurburgring. Also, it will be a spectacle to watch the all new Mustang GT3 and GT4 compete at the 24h race.
The Dark horse will be inferior to a GT350.. Guaranteed.. The good ol' days are over for big power V8's in America.. Joe Biden and his Democrats are ruining our Country.. Camaro Discontinued, Dodge and its awesome stretch of big Badass V8 muscle cars is over after this year, they are going to a turbo inline 6cyl.. The mustang will be next.. and the Corvette is on borrowed time.. Its sad.. I just bought a 22 Camaro SS 1LE Manual, and it will be the last V8 rear drive manual car that I will ever get to buy new.. I hope this can all be changed back but I doubt it.. They are trying to force electric cars on everyone, but here in the states, not all of us live in cities, its wide open big country roads where I live in southern Indiana..
I’d recommend you make a MyMode with Race dampers and steering and Sport or even Normal transmission/response setting. I’ve driven one around town and it does get spicy when the pavement isn’t perfect.
@@nichtgefunden404 Yeah he better take advice from a guy who's "driven one around town" lmao.. 🥴 Forget the thousands of miles Shmee has spent in sportscars and supercars both on the street and on the track lol.
not sure how driving a lambo or whatever else equates to knowing the ins and outs of a GT500 but lol, ok, whatever floats our boat, keep being the president of his fan club what a dork p.s. what I'm suggesting is how to do exactly what misha was talking about doing on BMWs, but I bet Shmee has more experience than Misha 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Always been an issue with mustangs cheaping out on tires. First time I saw a viper tires looked like they came off a steam roller just massive. The old 5.0 's had regular car tires. Feather the hell out of clutch to keep from burnout in First every time . Just not safe in winter.

With great power comes great responsibility, turns out this thing likes to get slippy out there!
That sounds like politics to me Tim,hate the clichés!🤔🤯😱
I think we'd all have preferred to see Misha drive it, and without gloves.
It’s all in how you drive it
@@michaelc3977 i mean, im happy to see anyone driving. Misha's reactions as a passenger are usually great, especially with Tim
Like Brothers 😂😂😂😂😂💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
All the interactions between Misha and Tim are a joy to watch, a real camaraderie. Hopefully Emira lap will be next
I hope Misha gets to drive the Emira
carmaraderie 😆
the low RPM rumble is intoxicating.
absolutely love it.
V8s sound great no matter the Rpm but to me the low RPM is my favourite.
Love it
One of my favorite “features” of the V8’s as well. I have a 21 GT PP and I love the foot off the gas gear holding rumble in sport+ mode.
For me too. We call it gurgling in Spain.
Great minds think alike!

ON GOD brother
Especially the 350R, personally i would take one over a GT500.
About the deceased, it's either good or nothing! 🤷♂
the gentleman Shmee + american muscle car + Nürburgring and of course Misha, what a combo
shmee shouldn't exist, but with the amount of pathetic losers look out there that choose their testosteroneless heroes by the bundle, it's no surprise this dork is here. easy pass
What a ride, love the deep gt500 exhaust sound
Dude has a smile on his face the whole time. This is the kind of feeling worth yearning for.
I just love how polite shmee is. He really asked if he could open his own hood.
it is very british and i lovve it haha
Nice! The CFTP also specs a .5” wider rear wheel, higher rate springs front/rear and a slightly larger diameter rear sway bar.
People can say what they want about Tim's personality or his giddiness, but he is becoming a proper driver around here! Very smooth and nice lines.
Lol yes he would destroy 99% of his viewers in a track race

Now it's time to let the man himself drive that around for a lap. Misha take it for a spin brother 🐎 🐴
Was thinking that the whole time
Waiting for this one for a long while, now I want to see the giggles when Misha gets to drive. Now off to watch Tim's version.
The GT500 DCT is smart enough to know if you're on the track and will power shift on the straights but will smoothly shift if your on undulating roads and corners.
The season really starts when we see a lap with a shmeemobiles and Misha and Tim in the video👍
Like Shmee a lot, he really has a passion for cars and it shows by how much hes done to get better at driving and learning about motorsports, hes an awesome dude
Just two dudes smiling the whole way round, love it 😄
Should have let Misha drive!
This was nice too haha
You could see it in his face so bad 😁👌

Have to assume it is because of insurance reasons? How does insurance work on the ‘ring?

You’ve been watching youtube for a while eh?
The V8 sounds insane!! I thought it would have been a bit too loud for the ring considering what happened with Shmee's STO.
Good to see you and Tim back at it. Finally, that real American muscle @ the NBR... 👍
i love that you can see tire pressure / heat. very useful tool
Still cool of him to do laps in this beast 👍🏻
I wonder if Misha was driving and in full send if he could outpace that GT3. Tim is taking it safe, which is understandable.
More than likely
Love it guys! I've been waiting for this video for a while.
My favorite Nurburgring driver and my favorite legendary Cars & Coffee RUclipsr from the early 2000s and look at him now
Finally a video that shows mph instead of kph!
10:15 - pants check ✅
7 seconds from 100 to 200 up a step hill. Not bad,
Wow! It is great to finally see our American cars that can do more than burnouts and drag racing. A few of them coming down the pike these days. Plus, I do so love the sound of a throaty V8 with supercharger tones.
tbf, the corvette has been decent since the c5 and great since the c6

That thing is impressive, by any standards. Nobody can say that US cars don't handle these days.

I pretty sure they get some Roush love as well.
Tim doing right foot braking with an auto and Misha doing left foot braking with manual. 😄
Usually the speed and the cornering forces aren't very obvious on camera, but watching Misha being thrown around in that passenger seat really highlights not only the immense power but also the weight of that beast!
3950lbs w/ ~25qts of fluid and gas is not bad for over 700 wheel hp and 7 radiators...

Good to see @Shmee150 isn’t just someone who has money to spend on cars but is also a very capable driver
Thought he was pretty slow to be honest 🤷🏻♂️

This car is perfect and that Sound!!!
i love this car its sound and its history.
i think its safe to say im not the only one thats been wanting this collab for 2023, but even still, mad disappointment shmee didnt let misha do a lap
Amazing video - so much fun.
Thank you guys. 🤙💯😎
Soundtrack of this car is a joy to listen to
That STANG WHAT A BEAST. Would love to own one.
Love my 500. Been waiting for one to pop up on this channel. Instant click
Thats some real Detroit muscle just chillin' and not even flexing itself
I sat in one a few weeks ago and the way they placed the dash cam facing the hood is actually how high the hood is. I'm 6'2 and I was barely able to see over the hood. Pretty huge hood.
Tim's GT500 has been around the planet. What a cool car!!!
Great to see a video with Shmee again 👌
I wanted to see Misha take it for a hot lap.
So we can truly see what the car is capable of,Shmee isnt on the same level as Misha

He has to try the DCT and Brakes, they’re literally amazing!

Let Misha wring it out, he is a much more aggressive driver. This guy is babying it.
Love this video, the both of you laughing and giggling like little girls, brilliant.
GT500 screaming MURICA🇺🇸 love it ❤️
Nice job, Tim 👍🏻. I used to have a 1993 Mustang 5.0 LX and they were bucking broncos back in the day.
Love to see you both!
Awesome car and so nice to see people import these special ones here Europe ! just wish Misha would have driven it 😁
Nice video again, and thanks for the picture at Apex today 😁
Great meeting you!
I was looking forward to this one :))) It's also first for me; to see Tim with racing gloves 😂
I actually waited so long for this
pink shirt slacks and racing gloves good old shmee
60-90mph very, very quickly ! Great stuff indeed....
Misha gotta to USA with Shmee next time!!😅😂 would be epic seen u both making content together !!
Always a great and positive colab with Tim...can't wait for the next one Misha!
Very nice lap. So impressed with these cars. ✌
Dat is het leuke aan Tim, met iedere auto die hij heeft rijdt hij ook, en het is voor hem pas compleet met een bezoek aan de Nordschleife met zijn auto's.
Nu nog die andere twee, de Emira en de Zenvo.
What a beast... love the sound, always loved american V8 sounds. under the hood will sound awesome too with that supercharger :D
I need to see this thing out on The Ring in the summer with a proper set of Nankang AR-1's 🥵 I need a full send lap
Great to see you back on track👌rip the auto bahn and do laps, always great vids👍👍
That front facing dash cam tho, sick!!!
Wow that engine look like it is infinite in power and torque! I love the Mustang
Shmee the type of guy who wears gloves taking socks on and off
Probably one of the best collabs ive seen in a while
I love how they just casually talking
Sound and gearbox reminds me a little bit to an amg gts gtr 😊
super cool video great to see two real car enthusiasts together
Can’t wait till misha actually does a lap in this car
interesting to see those tyre pressures come up so quickly
My father had a '68 GT350 and would tell stories about his test drive in the GT500... its basically the same conversation 55 years later haha.
Remember boys... its a Shelby! Ford will always make it how Carol wants it.
“ it’s very America” lmao. I love how our Brit brothers just love that American HP. LoL ❤
By far one of the best sounding V8 engines on the planet!
That's a sweet sound!
Great video and what an engine note!
Has Tim or Misha ever drove a Viper track car, with all the advancements of tires now, it would be epic to see how the Viper would do. Make it happen

How does one get a ride with Misha? Love the "perma grin" Tim..
Love the carbon wing! Want one for my 2012 gt500.
Unfortunately you didn’t had the chance to experience the real dynamic ability of the GT500.
Man I would LOVE to see this thing on a full hard lap. It could easily beat that AMG.
cant wait to see you drive one omg. what a monster.
So to sum up then, as you said Misha, fast AF!😀
