Ever since i saw it in I Am Legend ive always wanted this exact mustang
Congrats dude. The 2008 Shelby have been my dream car as well since I saw that movie I Am Legend in theaters back in 2007.
Mine is white w/ blue striping and I love it. I agree w/ you on the hearing of the super charger working. It has power and love to drive it. It was a dream of mine to own a Mustang since I was 9 years old. It took me 45 years but I have my 2008 and wouldn't trade it for the world. My retirement car for sure.
Me too brother!!😂😂
1st car was a torch red auto V6 2008 mustang. I’ve been lusting after an 05-09 gt500 for so long and might have to pull the trigger on one in the near future.
I've always loved the gt500, viper, zl1, and srt line up, mainly bc they're essentially supercars, but relatively cheap for what they offer, and they're ford, dodge, or Chevrolet, so it's a special car, but not a special brand, i can take it anywhere, it's not like a ferrari or aston where I need to go to a specialist.
The basic muscle car.. grand tourer 500 horses. Don't need more horsepower for touring... it's a tribute to the old days. Handling and traction first and a longer range gas tank.. or just buy a super sports...
Thanks for these videos nothing but GOOD feedback I’ve seen from owners. Just got my 08 Mustang in 2024 and love it! Still turning heads too!!🔥💯
I’m looking at buying one this time next year love the car
I'm looking for one now or a Bullitt.
Better to buy new one.. the 460 hp on 2020 and up are underrated and closer to 500 hp and also more power to rear tires. The 500 hp ratings on these older gt500s are mostly to the crank. Plus 10speed is no contest.
Realize I’m a year late but congrats. Picked up a Challenger SRT8 in June and I love it. GT500 in that year range is next. Unfortunately when searching for GT500 anything low miles in this body style is obscene price.
Beautiful car bro. Color is perfect. Can’t go wrong with any Shelby. Look forward to the adventure.
Thank much appreciated!🙏
Yeah Buddy, just picked up the exact same car last September and I am loving every second of it!
Congrats! I'm loving mine as well. They are so much fun to drive!
@@automotiveantics Did a pulley, TB, tune and it is a different car! Enjoy your ride
You're gonna have crazy fun w/ that car.. .trust me!
I already am! Have so many plans and not enough money to do them all lol
Very very nice. Great video. I have been looking myself. Low mileage one owner, the prices are all over the map right now. Best of luck. 👍
Happy for ya man! Always loved those cars. Very “analog” and direct compared to the newer models that are flooded with technology.
Thanks! And I agree. I love the "raw" feeling
@@automotiveanticsSO HOW IS THE GT500 DOING LOL I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY SHELBYS ESPECIALLY MY 08 GT500 AND MY 07 AND 10 SUPER SNAKE.
Great color. You are lucky. Just bought a 07 in blue/white stripes at 17K miles and first thing would be replacing the clutch with dual and 1 piece driveshaft.
yeah, I got one of those beasts.
wmaass88 me to
Me too 2011 :)
And 2016 gt350
@@shanefowler9443 Shane, I have a 09 GT500. I’m thinking of trading it in for a new 350. Any thoughts?
Sweet ride!! Congratulations!!! I hope to have one someday!! I agree with you aswell!! These cars were meant to be driven, so enjoy!!!
Congrats on the new car 👍. It looks fantastic. If it wasn't supposed to be driven, they wouldn't have put a motor in it. Looking forward to the build.
Thanks! I totally agree!
Or 4 wheels for that matter. Theyre not there just to hold the car up theyre meant to roll that bad boy down the road haha
I knew you bought it, that was hard to pass up. You can always change the car color but the condition you can not. Congrats on the new car!
Thanks! The color has actually really grown on me since I've had it. The red really pops in the sun!
My "someday" came on June 20th, 2009 when I bought a 2009 Torch Red GT500 new in Las Vegas. The Ford dealership wouldn't let anyone test drive it, so when I drove it off the lot it had 3 miles on it. Like you, I was giddy as could be with that feeling of finally owning a Shelby. Although nothing can compare to that first drive, 12 years and 121,000 miles later (I also heard Shelby's suggestion), I still get pumped up every time I get behind the wheel! Here's a bit of my particular GT500's performance history...
At right around 7,000 miles, the clutch began slipping, and it went really quick. I had over 20 years experience of manual transmission diving, and I never pushed limits. Knowing that clutches, tires, and brakes have varying degrees of warranty depending on the tale they tell of the driver, I was sure they'd fix the problem for me and they did. Driving in Vegas subjects your car to tremendous heat conditions, especially in rush hour traffic on 115 degree days. That intense heat warped the flywheel. Repaired no charge.
At around 14,000 miles, same thing, and again, repaired at no charge, only this time they put a titanium flywheel in. It's ran beautifully ever since.
I just picked up a 2007 GT 500 white with blue stripes. Only 1000 original unmolested miles. Carroll shelby original signature on the dash. I plan to drive it to shows and a little "spirited driving"
Congrats!
Good buy I have one the same color it's an 09 with 37k miles, mine came with all the major mods, right now I'm changing the front suspenion to tubular from BMR.
Congratulations. Happy for you man! Enjoy
Thanks!
That’s my new dream Modern Mustang! 😎
Great video was fun to watch ! Always loved this generation of GT500
Im getting one idc. Im getting one this year I just love these so much
congrats dude! my dream car as well! i got to go film in the shelby shop last summer in las vegas!
Thats awesome! I can only hope to one day get to their shop!
There’s one for sale an hour from me.....26k for 11500 miles.....if only....at least I have my Celica and foxbody for now
And one day I’ll have a car like yours but in blue :) screenshotting this so I can shout u out when I get it
I look forward to seeing it!
Respect!!! Hell yeah
Great video and beautiful GT500!! I like the new channel name! There is a 2008 GT500 at a car dealership by my house with 2,500 miles, they are asking $39,000.
Thanks! I feel like I may have seen that GT500 you're talking about while I was searching for this one. Thats a crazy high price tag tho
Automotive Antics yeah I live in CA. They are asking way too much even though it has low miles, if it was more around 30k I think it’d be a lot better. Great content can’t wait to see get some mods!
Actually that is a great price for a car that will hold its value. Better get it because there won’t be any more with that much technology at that price any more.
@@RangerDanger074x4 i agree 30k would be a reasonable price
In the past month 3 dealers offered me 30k for my 2009 with 10k miles. I’m having a hard time deciding whether to trade it in for a 65k Gt350.
Congrats, I bought a Vista Blue '09 just a few months ago!
Congrats on yours as well! The blue was my first choice but I couldn't find one. I'm loving my torch red tho!😊
@@automotiveantics OMG, the struggle to find a blue one was REAL!
I got one in Allow a couple of weeks ago!!
In Alloy
Great color combo 🏁🏁🏁!!
Great pickup. I have the same year and color. I have the vmp gen 2r 850 kit on it. Its a blast. First mod to get is a set of tires. The stock ones are crap. I put on some mickey Thompson drag radials. Night and day difference
I have Michelin pilot super sports on there and im very happy with them so far.
I had one pre-ordered in 2006 and the dealer screwed me over by putting it up to the highest bidder and I never got around to buying one since then but I am planning on it later this year finally.
thing is that Eaton supercharger is really small it's not much bigger than an m90 it sounds like my old m90 roush. The M112 is only 1.8l. one of the first things I'm going to do is put in a 2.9l Kenny Bell which looks similar to stock, and a few other things.
I check your channel to see what you did with it.
Mine is an 08 looks just like yours. 21.5k mileage. Bone stock other than jlt cans and slp all-black.
My cars gas pedal gets stuck sometimes and won't release up to serious frightening speeds. Idk what could cause it bc its not the matt.
Thats scary alright. I would definitely look further into that
3.09 for premium!!!!! I miss those days 😢
@@trevorcunning6248 you and me both!!
Awesome car man! Love the red and white stripes on it
Thanks!🙏
@@automotiveantics Yah I love my 08 gt500.The first thing I would do if my gt500 was stock.Lower it.When I bought my 08 gt500 from Tasca back in 2014.The car had 2thousand original miles. But I love the look and the color combo.It is probably why I have 4 Shelby
@@automotiveantics In the interior the center gage pack on the dash. It completes inside of the car.It has boost fuel and oil pressure. There like 800bucks but very worth it.
@@automotiveantics Yah my 08 gets 7 miles per gallon. But like I said it has 850hp.
@@automotiveantics I am curious what you paid.Tasca had his dealership put over 25grand of Ford racing parts into my gt500 and combined with having just 2thousand miles on the car.I payed 55grand and I think that is a great price considering how much money was put into the car.Normally I wouldn't touch a car with all the mods that been added to the car.But being owner's car and it being Tasca you know they did a great job on the bosses car.It has the Ford racing TVS blower full suspension tires rims.It has it all.I asked him why didn't you just super snake it.He wanted a sleeper with 850hp.My neighbor found out the hard way with his Lamborghini trying to race me.He got smoked and he wasn't happy.
Nice! I I also have a 2008 red and white with 23,000 miles
Glad to see the success of Number 1 after code name:K.N.D. 🔥🔥
Thanks for watching! Don't forget to drop a like on the video and SUBSCRIBE for more GT500 content!😁
Had a chance at one of those but got a gt350 instead. Would love to add one of these someday
And I would love to add a GT350!
GT350's are track monsters, but I would still take a gt500. I need some boost in my life!
Awesome Congratulations ! My next car for sure .
Thanks🙏
Give me just a few more years. Ill have one soon
Amazing car brother I want to buy any from 07 to 2014
Thanks 🙏
I have one of these for sale / trade. 08 basic mods, tuned 555hp and 565 torque at wheels, very fun 68k miles. not willing to part with at all unless price it well over blue book or trade is something im interested in.
Price on these unfortunately are on a decline. I would expect somewhere in the low 20's for one like yours. If your looking to get top dollar I would sit on it for a while
Congrats great choice!
Hey great vid, have the same car and Its amazing. I have a question from one owner to another do you find the steering wheel a bit stiff for an 08 mustang, im curious if they were just built that way or if maybe I should take it into Ford? Thanks!!
Thanks! I think it's just the extra weight of the 5.4 we are feeling. I like it because I get a little more feedback from the front end
I got my 07 gt500 with some key tasteful mods already on it that i woulda wanted to do anyways...offroad h, borla stingers, 4.10s, mgw shifter, twin disc clutch, 2.6 pulley, twin 65 cj tbody, jlt 123 cold air, custom tuned to 550 whp at pro dyno in south carolina by the previous owner. It is insane what 120+ rwhp and a switch to more aggressive gearing does for traction (literally makes street tires useless lol)....i seen you kick it and hit 2nd and the car just barked them hard....1st and 2nd were both useless in mine before i put on 305/45/17 et streets. I can now get traction similar to how you did in this video...it will hook in 1st just stabbing it from a rolling start with 30 psi in them on a hot road with no warmup to the tires and it will spin 2nd and kick the ass out just a tad but it is literally night and day from the 275/35/20 nitto street tires that the car had on it when i bought it. Its insane just how much a few simple mods can do to these gt500s ecspecially these early ones that were more restricted from the factory (but just as good once modded).
Congrats on your GT500! I plan on doing many of those mods myself. I also think it's a good idea to get an upgraded heat exchanger for those hot summer months
@@automotiveantics the vmp heat exchanger is next on my to do list that and a 1 piece driveshaft because with my power level, 4.10 gears and 305 mickey's the 2 piece driveshaft is now the weak link in the driveline.
Congrats brother!
Thanks!
Congratulations man great find have fun n enjoy ! I have an 08 Vista blue white stripes, never registered or liecene has 100 miles, plus I bought a 2010 have only put 700 miles on it, black in and out destripe package, love them both.
Congratulations 🔥🔥🔥🐍
Thanks!🙏
@@automotiveantics I have a 08 that I bought from the Bob Tasca family. He basically did everything possible.
@@automotiveantics The first thing I do in your shoes.LOWER IT.
I do have a 2005 gt ,elenore body kit ,supercharger ,and 52 mil like new jeje.
Sweet!
Congrats you deserve it 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks so much, I greatly appreciate that!🙏
Am I crazy but I wanna buy a 2008 gt500 for a daily up here in Canada, cause I think when you buy a car it should be driven especially a fun/cool car like a gt500
Not crazy at all! I do it 🤷♂️
beautiful color combination. congratulations.
Thanks 😊 🙏
Great video! I would love to drive one of these for one of my videos but I’ll have to wait for my channel to grow more haha
how do you get the cars tho
Elliott Hedgespeth I was originally getting them from Avis but I now went to Turo for my rentals 👍🏼
My dream car
Nothing wrong with driving it in the rain
Timeless
Wait a darn minute, I thought you were a Pontiac Firebird TransAm Firehawk guy. What happened to sour allegiance??? Bobby
Lol truth is I'm not brand loyal. I love all cars. BUT that being said I've own more Mustangs than any other car so...🤷♂️
Nice ride.
Thanks! 😁
Looks mint! So, did you sell the Nova?
Yeah the Nova got sold a little over a year ago
Automotive Antics 😢 I get it. Plus modern muscle tech over old-school has so many benefits.
That radio doesn’t look stock
It's is. Factory option
Do you have the window sticker that lists it? Thanks for reply
@seantaylor4533 no I'm not the original owner. But if you don't believe me you can look up the options for these cars. The radio and LED headlights were the only 2 options I believe
I have a 2008 with the optional shaker 1000. That head unit looks like a later generation. I’ve never seen one before in a 2008.
HID headlights and leather dash were options too. I don’t think LEDs were even offered by Ford in 2008 on any vehicle.
Thanks for your reply
Beautiful car!
Thanks 🙏 I'm loving it 😁
How much did you pay?
Hi...l have a question it is necessary to forge all the engine components to install that supercharger??
GT500'S come stock with the supercharger. But if your installing one on another car, no its not necessary, you just can't run as much boost as you could with forged internals
Nice video...so what did you pay for it...?
I have this exact same car but no badge on the dash on the inside not sure why that is
Its an authentication plague you get through Shelby American with your VIN on it
Congratulations Man! It looks super sweet!!
Thanks so much!🙏
Great luck keeping it in good condition. Yes it may still be just a car but also it will be subject to same issues as any car the more you subject it to every other car conditions. I’ll keep my 2009 with 290 miles perfect while you wear yours out. Have fun.
Everyone has different ways of enjoying a car. Some let it sit in a garage and stare at it and some like to drive it and enjoy it for what it was built for. Them to their own😊
@@automotiveantics what is the point in it being perfect if youre not gonna drive it and enjoy it. Im all for trying to keep one nice you should but as for having under 300 miles ^^^^^^^^^^^ on a car more than 10 years old well...to each their own but that is something i frown upon lol. To me its like that car got wasted from what it was intended for which was to run the streets and have countless hours of fun in.
Did you finance it ? I’m looking for one and having trouble finding a bank that will take a 07/08 longer than 48 mo
Try banks that deal with classic cars, like lightstream or Hagerty
How much you pay for it
I have an 07, don’t race it but I decided to launch it and wen I launched it the car made a big pop noise and I notice that I the dash it said traction control on
I’ve launched it twice and both times it made a bug pop noise, is it because if the traction control kicked in ?
Let me know if that has happened to your car too
Can't say I've had the same experience
@@automotiveantics at wat rpms you’ve launched it
@@fordmustang5516 when stock I could launch around 3k-3500 but after pulley and tune its just spin city and it's worthless lol
Mr.Clean
🤣
Looks like a 2005 ford gt
Thanks for giving us that Supercharger whine. Quick question, what do you mean when you say the shifter feels mushy? Can you describe the feeling?
There's a lot over overtravel in each gear, not to mention side to side play. Just isn't confidence inspiring. I actually cut the handle down about 3/4" and replaced the stock shifter knob with a weighted ball and it made it big difference. Much better
😍😍😍😍😍
Nice 😎
Same car
Beautiful car! 93 gas $3.09 a gallon!? This was definitely pre Joe Biden.
Definitely was! Haha
I am legend
Does it have bluetooth??
No just aux jack. It is a 08 after all lol
Bad ass
Do you know the 0-60??
In stock trim test have ranged from 4.3-4.6
@@automotiveantics that's about right same as a saleen.. with like 40 less hp.. but more torque to the rear. And suspension tweek.. this engine just heavier beast.. crazy how new mustang are quicker.. than these.. new 5.0 no joke..
@@larryz3985these were very restricted stock and had very long gearing. Traction is also an issue on stock tires. Once you have basic mods like intake midpipe pulley tune etc you can smoke even bolt on newer mustangs. When my 07 was on stock blower with just bolt ons I torched a 2019 5.0 intake, exhaust Lund 93 tune it was a 10 speed auto too. When I say torched I'm talking 5+ cars from 30-130. They might not seem like much bone stock but they wake up with mods. I now have a gen3r blower swap and it did 740/732 rwhp/rwtq. I have lightened mine to about 3700 lbs too so it's pretty damn fast.
@midnight347 mmm hard to believe lol but yiu had alot more mids I guess he could of had traction control on could if been in manual mode.. and completely incompetent driver..! Lol who knows 🤣 🤷.. but yea I guess there ok if yiu correct some of those issues of mods you made but stillsolid rear ehh..! I'll pass
🤤
"V8 pack"
Hey can I borrow that car you know for the rest of my life lol
🤣🤣
Back to the exact same car you have no
You drive it like a big wanker. Its not a skoda fabia
