The fatal flaw in my life is that I can’t even get one
No shit and he complains about gas mileage. Do you think a near 800 horsepower machine is going to give you 25 miles a gallon? Go drive your Corvette.
@Daniel Roberson not once did I hear him complain. I heard him call it the fatal flaw in which I see his point of view. If at a rave track nobody wants to have to fill up a stock factory car every 30 mins. That is an over excessive use of fuel which should have been addressed by Ford. They could have given it a larger fuel tank, even a secondary fuel cell for the track. So many things Ford could have done to remedy this flaw!
@@itdoesntmatterwhatyourname6128 Sorry to sound rude but this guy shouldn't worry about gas mileage with a car like that. I'm not envious of his car collection but he does sound a little spoiled.
I hope you do have enough to get one bro
I’ve been clickbaited, from a rich child
Locoandchooch Absolutely a Idiot also 👎🏿
MrExtremes281 you don’t like him? Lol
Naw, hes kinda douchey,snobby.
Not a mustang guy but ford nailed the gt500 and for all its short comings the car seems aces where it counts performance and reliability 👍🏻
Ralph Smallblock he’s not a mustang guy either lol
overheadcam32 My apologies he’s a Shelby guy all he. Needs is a ford Gt and whalla he’s the 2020 Carole Shelby 😎 God rest his soul my mentor when growing up. Always respect ✊ for Carole Shelby 🏎💪

You either get that level of performance or have a super nice trimmed interior at that price range.
This. You want both, you'll have to go up a tier in price.
Roberto Figueroa the new C8 seems to have both
The c8 gets walked by shelby gt350,
Y downgrade for more money. There really aren't any 60 k vettes!
Yung_Chip if people don’t buy enough higher trim C8s expect to see the base price jump to 80k... I’m sure they weren’t expecting the COVID-19 either so I’m willing to bet they’ll have a 90k starting price real soon.
What is wrong with good plastic ?
What would be the preferred material ? Fiberglass ? Carbon fiber ?? Those would add to the cost and be a net gain of ZERO.
Strick nine dont get me wrong, kid is clearly a fkn dweeb...but leather lol. They put stitching on, stitch leather not plastic.
@@Thebadbeaver9
That would be nice to look at I guess..But it's really not practical, lots of work to maintain its look.
And here is the main thing....It wouldn't make the car a damn bit better.
I haven't heard "dweeb" in 35 years. lol
It's just a matter of preference or opinion I guess but it just seemed odd to be slamming plastic. There are soo many different types of it and quality grades of it and It's soo common and is everywhere soo much that most folks don't even think about it.
Strick nine definitely nothing wrong with it, its right in that price range where you cant really have everything. You wouldn't expect plastic in a Ferrari or Porsche, but this doesn't cost nearly as much. Would just be nice to at least have the option to get a better 'feeling' interior, but I get it - not really the point of the car.
its 100k man.. At that price range everything should be on point. Yes I am apart of that crowd. If you pay 100k for a car it should be excellent quality both inside and out.
Who cares. My 08 gt500 is paid for and I'm loving it. Lol
This is not a knock by any means.
Hard to believe that how the technology in cars have changed in just 12 years.
2008 Shelby is spec 500hp and todays gt is 460hp.
Probably in 12 years from now this current shelby will be the standard hp numbers then.
K Ranch, the 13 has 662 hp and more torque than the 2020. Personally, Fathouse builds an 8 second STICK SHIFT GT350 1400R with 1478 rwhp. I personally am looking for a decent GT350 to ship to Fathouse Performance
Nice shit piece bro.
Thank you for your honest opinion on the gt500. I dream of owning one but it is nice to see the flaws on owning one
I love the GT 500,what did you expect. This is a fine tuned race car.
He makes a lot of good points, especially about the cheap plastics in the interior. But I'd love to hear how a comparable Camaro, Corvette or other race-set car does at the track in terms of MPG. One who spends $100K for a car shouldn't care too much about spending $200 to fill up track side. I know I wouldn't.
You buy a 700hp car for economy?
alan mac but averaging 14mpg on the hwy is pretty bad. That means in the city he’s averaging less than 9mpg. My 860hp roush mustang gets 26mpg on the hwy.
That’s not the point. The gas tank is too small. Even the Porsche which is a 500 HP V6 comes with an extra large gas tank option. This car should as well. A 26 gallon tank would be perfect. Given it doesn’t even have a spare tire in the spare section.
@@r32446 Correct! It isn't the MPG that is the problem, but the small tank. It makes you notice your fuel usage more since you have to fill up more often. I think they kept it small for weight reduction though. So you have to plan accordingly.
Blue Blaze that porsche is 450 hp. Stop reaching for z germans herr blie blaze
Thank you for your honest opinion.
I love the shelby gt500 and own a gt350R myself, but with all that money that dealers are asking as mark ups on shelby, it’s criminal. There are tons of options available when your are dropping a 80-100 grand on a sports car
And you’re trying to sell this car? After seeing what you do to this vehicle I’d have no interest in it.
Little Rascals it’s a used mustang. Nobody treats them good.
^^^^right
Does the car have a smaller fuel tank for weight reduction reasons? What’s the furthest distance and shortest distance you’ve travelled in a full tank?
My fatal flaw on my gt500 is that it’s imaginary!!
I’m new to your channel. You talk a lot but one of the few ppl that make sense and don’t get annoying. Nice content!
You still have the best content going on right now. Can't wait for the C8. In regards to the gas - it is a hotrod! :)
Is that why most Hot rods have very little miles on them, and mostly garage queens?
@@hpickettz34 Nah - lots of us out here who put miles on them.....but then to your point and answer your question, there are lots of garage queens too. :)
My biggest complaint with mine is it makes even cars like my Jaguars ZF-8 speed feel like it shifts so sluggish and slow after driving the DTC for a few days 😆 But on a real note I do agree with you on all of those points.
In less than 30 days you'll be able to get any GT500 you want for MSPR. You may even get 0% financing. Triple
I just took delivery of my 2020 Shelby GT500 3 weeks ago & other than the fact she is a Thirsty Girl the car is Absolutely Amazing !!!
3:42 I agree, total BS when they (Ford) don't replace the interior plastic of the base car with better quality materials for the top of the line model.
I would have liked a stick shift :(
While I don’t do agree nobody has two interiors based on price of the car. All hard points including dash and doors stay the same.
@@kkatlvolvo~ guess that's the problem when there are trim levels of the same car that have a $75K price difference. When a car gets close to $100,000, there should be no cheap plastic parts on the doors, dash, and center console. What would it cost to upgrade those few pieces with a higher end material? $1000 at most? It could even be another 'option' that would make even more money for Ford.
@@skinchen~ I agree too bad manual transmissions have gone the way of the dodo bird. DCT are great, but sports cars should never not have a true manual option.
The interior is the same as the $25k Mustang. This needs some serious attention. Engine isn’t the only thing a car should be improving. I’d pay an extra $10k for an interior upgraded like the Porsche, BMW, Mercedes level quality interior. Would make the Ford be able to compete and sell a ton more for high end consumers who want best of all worlds.
Hey man,, I really like the fact that your titles on your videos are what you actually talk about.. So many you tubers say things in their thumbnail to get views,,, you seem like a genuine young man who is honest.. good stuff man!!
So, do you expect the interior to be made of wood or aluminum or titanium? All cars have plastic in it. So would it make the car faster or handle better if it were Carbon fiber interior? Save what 18 lbs.
Who wouldn’t like that rotary dial. That’s the future. I miss the stick but it’s time to go forward
if you’re gonna complain over fuel, you just shouldn’t own the damn car, get a f*ckin’ Prius and call it a day lmao
YEP I FINALLY GOT RID OF MT 16 GT-350 AFTER ALMOST 3 YEARS N GOT AN 18 CORVETTE GRANDSPORT PRACTICALLY NEW!!WAY 2 MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CARS ENGINES..DO NOT NEED THE DRAMA..+THE INSIDE IS SO MUCH NICER THAN THE GT 350...LOT BETTER CAR...YOU GUYS DR. 1 N YOU WILL SEE!!
Nice to see a honest review 😜
How do you he’s being honest? What’s his motivation?
I just have to ask is the rain tray a big deal in so cal? The reason I ask is in 2014 i stayed in so cal (costa mesa) and it didn't rain once lol i will say over night there was a mist or thick dew tho
Come on brother! We get it, your C8 is on the way. No need to put the mustang down because of that. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm surprised they would sell a car to a middle schooler.
Don't mine asking but what do you do for a living to own a $160,000 Super Snake plus this 2020 GT 500
You are paying for performance not fine interior amenities. May I remind you that you purchased a mid 10 second Mustang. Speed costs , how fast do you want to go and what are you willing to trade? Also I'm asking, didn't you notice all these cheap interior components on the showroom floor? Before you laid down all those dollars? Hind sight is always 2020!
Good job on the vid, thanks for the honesty. I agree on all points, especially the fit and finish for that kind of money is a travesty.
If a Volkswagen GTI can have soft touch all over the interior, Ford can put it on a GT500.
Thats because for unlike GTi where the transmission,suspension and almost all of its components are made in house by VW. Fords suspension is sourced from Delphi, transmission from Tremec, etc...so they ve to pay a novelty to these suppliers, even GM does the same but has cut a better deal with its suppliers unlike Ford, and unlike Ford, GM has more inhouse components than GM which leads to C8s price as we see now.
@@1989rs500 I was only focusing on the interior materials. Soft touch material is cheap, and feels a million times better than the hard plastic Ford uses. They can more than put it in their cars to increase interior quality by a millionfold
@@boostoshi
See its not as easy as it sounds.. I ve worked with suppliers and the suppliers always put pressure on brands to use their materials and use their designs. Brands will always choose the cheapest rates given by suppliers.
SaiiBoost same reason why I don’t plan on buying a gt500. Spend all that money on a car to just feel like I bought a eco boost mustang. Both the same interior and all. C8 interior makes gt500 look like straight shit
SaiiBoost your car also cheaps out on the rest of the car. Can’t have everything
That's it? Seriously?!? What do you think that supercharger is doing?
The Mustang GT500 is at home visiting petrol stations often, much like it's GT40 cousins.
Gas is going down in the USA....
@@makeamericagreatagain7314 going down in California is still too damn high. 3.50 for premium and in my eyes that great (for California standards
If you are worried about paying to fuel this baby up maybe a Prius is more your style. 🍼
I like your channel, but that was most amateur car thing to say. Nobody buys or expects to buy a car like that and have it be good on gas. If you are worried about that then you shouldn't buy the car. In true criticism.....you have under 1k likes and 14k views at the time I wrote this. You have time to delete this video.
This reminds me when I had a 72 454 vette . I would drive it from LA to riverside and fill it up and then drive back to LA and fill it up again.lol
I do agree, ford definitely could have done away with all the standard plastics in the car, especially with those cars costing anywhere from $90k-$110k. I honestly think that could be applied to everyday mustangs as well, like the price isn’t justified when it comes to interior quality
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 content!!!!!! Keep up the killer videos!
I wish I had your flaw.
Gotta pay to play my friend ✌
Good to know that your fatal flaw isn't real fatal. Those on E85 must have their own gas station.
lol trust buddy this car waste WAY more gas than my 2020 f350 super duty it sad makes the car less fun andim not even adding the cheap ass feeling you get when inside no matter how powerful the car is its got to be impressive when you sit in it it has to make you feel special and this just doesn't
Floors a supercharged v8... has bad gas mileage. That’s crazy
Your flaw is not knowing what to do with your life. First flaw: you’re boring. The next you pay!
A friend of mine works at a Ford dealership and he says all of the idiot's that pay the sticker price or higher are suckers...
And he loves suckers...
Told me to but a slight used one and the price goes down dramatically....
So sucker have at it ....
I have one question....WTF do you do for a living?
Fatal Flaw is owner WOW...…………….. What car doesn't plastic now. Fuel mileage will be bad depending how you drive.
pdmustgt d Biggest Flaw is black paint. Love black cars. But it’s just horrible. It’s just so difficult to maintain. Any rain drop or bird poop ends up baked in with the sun and black paint cooking it up. Also seems more susceptible to rock chips with hot paint chipping easier.
I know weight is a problem with the S550 platform, but they could have put a bigger tank in and give the owner the option of how much they fill it up.
Depending on the track format and sessions...yes make sure you fill up before you get there. The price of gas at the track is the cost of having fun. Nothing is free... It has 760 hp..it is hauling 4000 pounds around the track. You are going to be burning through gas like there is no tomorrow...simple physics...
I have a 2013 GT500. I bought this car for smiles per gallon not for miles per gallon. What I hate is only being off two days to enjoy it.
Wow !!! That full
Throttle shot was amazing man!!!
I wonder if you got a custom tune if it could help with fuel economy and still keep the performance.
Agreed, the interior is very chintzy compared the other cars in the price range. But remember, it’s still a Mustang.
Billie Buckamer N.A. my redeye is cheesy to nice seats but the rest is suit
Your tearing ass around Willow Springs in a factory built race car. Stop with the gas. When the track pack GT500 gets 3 mpg, are you going to take it back? Enjoy your blessed life.
These cars have no rear tire in the spare tire section. They should do away with spare tire area and put a 10 more gallon tank under the car. The spare tire area is wasted space. It comes with a air compressor which can easily be fitted inside the trunk side. Inside of the trunk. Will they remold this section. Not likely. But if there was ever an after market company that would take down your rear sub, and cut this out and remove the old gas tank and put in a 26 gallon tank, I would pay to get this mod done. Hope someone is paying attention to this needed market for all GT 350 and GT 500
You bring gas with you to the track :)
Bro, you trying to sell it and you already need tires on it? How many miles do you have on it? I am seriously interested in it and I sent you a email, but how hard have this GT500 been driven and how many miles? Thanks
Can we have more pov drive please :) maybe in city? thank you! love your videos!! I am working now on getting my first mustang but :"( its really expensive to buy a mustang here in nz :*(
I really don’t understand why ford could add 3 or atleast 5 more gallons in the tank
The fatal flaw is it’s still a mustang and suffers from traction and stability control problems combined with idiots who think they can drive
Glad to see you drive the car. I agree with you, poor gas mileage is a problem, my Corvette gets the same or better mileage but its 30 years old and unfortunately only has 250 HP and Torque.
All the plastic? It’s not a Bentley or a Aston Martin.
Ur paying for the performance upgrade not the interior features imaging how much more the cost would be if they did upgrade the interior
Totally agree. It's still a comfortable Mustang, but your buying performance. From reading articles about the C8. The base seats are unconformable. If you want the better seats and matching seatbelt colors. You pay for that option. Ford should offer an optional interior upgrade. My guess is most would pass on that option.
Wait, what? You didn't look at, do some homework or inspect the car before buying it? Don't complain about the plastic after you bought the car, and don't complain about the gas mileage of a high performance machine pushing out 760HP with a 16 gal fuel tank driving it on a track. I do agree at the price they are selling these cars, it should be carbon fiber instead of plastic and the B&O Sound System by Bang and Olufsen with 12 speakers including CD player, HD Radio™ , and subwoofer in trunk should be standard instead of optional.
Love that your being real can’t wait to see the new cars
The plastic drives me crazy on all of the high technology cars.
The corvette is full of alcantara and carbon fiber everywhere when you up the packages... but the doors in the 2020 GT500 are still the same plastic you would get in a standard S550... I love it, but that plastic KILLS the car's value despite it being the most HP mustang, you might as well go buy an 18 GT or 2020 GT w/ a whipple or centrifugal supercharger that makes 800HP and could even be faster than the GT500.
Even over the gas mileage... that plastic really kills the value I believe.
I would say if you're keeping the car, replace that plastic with carbon fiber, not only will it add to appearance, but it will lose a bit of weight too.
BTW Ford's comment to me on the plastic was similar to "We want all our cars to retain a specific image, the plastic is lightweight to lower the weight of the car more than other options available"
If I EVER splurge on a 2020 GT500, I'm definitely making sure I have carbon fiber replacement interior panels ready to go.... that, or opt for a faster 800HP S650 when it releases.
the whole reason it's so cheap is because it sacrifices quality for performance budget. and you can't really get anything performing better overall for the price
Imagine buying a mustang and complaining about has mileage, unreal.
Using a tank in 30 minutes is fairly excessive
At some point we will need to meet up and compare the Whippled CarbonFiber GT350R with the GT500.
I’m a ford guy and love that car but I’m sorry for the price you can get an extremely loaded c8 that has a lot of a better looking build quality to it and I’m sorry for that reason I’d get the c8
A 12 bolt rain guard that requires manuel placement is NOT a small deal....that sucks.
Knock on everything on a maclean and guess what you'll find the whole damn thing being plastic too
Great informative video. Does suck to not even to get a 30 minute session in without s fill up
Only 14 mpg going 70 mph on the hwy ??? . My 797 Hp 300 lb heavier Challenger Hellcat Redeye. With the 3.09 rear gears. Gets 22.3 mpg going 70 mph's, down the hwy. City is 15-16 mpg. Then again the gas guzzler Tax. Is $900.00 more on the GT 500
What did you expect for gas mileage?
Speed Phenom Great Video I'm not surprised that the Fatal flaw of your 2020 Shelby GT500 is The Fuel Consumption since it has and has a Big Supercharged V8
C8 is breaking axles and getting check engine lights already. And its SLOW. How can you complain about the interior? If you want a nice interior buy a Audi or BMW. Everyone thinks they can have 800hp and a European interior for 100k. Doesn't work that way.
I think you nailed the core issues. Plastic and gas. But, then, you bought it for the fun. Great video - Again.
You completely missed the biggest flaw of all with the new GT500....its Heavy and yes its fun on the track, you need to address to all that this car isn't worth taking to the track because of the cost of consumables. One day woth me driving at any track, tires would be cooked, brakes, and the gas will be $$$$$. Great street car, but a no no for the Roadcoarse.
Speed Density Tune, probably needs to be tuned by a tuner, that load bases to get Speed density locked on and timing. Its definitely worth a shot to get a little better gas mileage on the track. My 2015 Z28 run Speed density, the stock map was so rich at wide open throttle. I use HP tuners to adjust the Speed Density. A good Tuner should make difference from the factory tune. Love your content, goodluck!
My hellcat was the same. Don’t really understand your complaint. Just got a 2020 gt500 and yes she’s a thirsty girl. But it’s smiles bee gallon. Not miles per gallon
You dont buy an American Muscle car for the interior especially a GT500. You are buying it for the power and speed. The problem with this kid is he is spoiled. Any V8 you would spend a lot of money of fuel. You complain about spending money on tires then quit using launch control and line lock. Better yet give the car to someone whom wont complain about owning a GT500. I personally can see the only 2 flaws of having the GT500 would be the vent on the hood and the rocks kicking up.
Your videos are becoming a bore!! You constantly whine and whinge about things no other owner has mentioned... I hope your likes are barred from owning another performance Ford again because I believe you are talking down this car in preparation to justify the Australian truck-base Corvette.
You bought a supercharged car and you're complaining about gas
Great video really like watching your channel. I'm on my 2nd Shelby and I don't know if I ever notice if it's really that much plastic lol .. The last true Shelby 2014 and the last manual stick shift .
That is really disappointing on the Interior I can't believe FORD did not do a better job on the interior for what you have to pay $$$ Don't get me wrong I am a huge Shelby fan but I want to get the most for what I pay for. I will hold out for the new Z06 that will be the best bang for buck .
Black beauty is beautiful though.
Thomas Hall gt350s are still stick only
So you honestly thought you were about to get all that one off shit for cheap and then think you were going to get special interior knowing full well a fully loaded mustang GT is already near 60k
so lets say .. ur 2014 shelby is better 1000 times than this 2020 fake shelby !!
oh 2020 better on track!! WHO WANNA GO TO TRACK EVERYDAY!!
peace
not too smart with those front tires
My thoughts exactly. I would not drive any car with wear like that... let alone this one. Pretty bonehead move on his part.
You buy a super hot rod with close to 800 hp and your complain is gas price. Don't drive it and don't buy gas for it and problem solved. That Flaw(not a flaw) applies to all high horsepower cars. FYI.
Trassmission cooler is under size?
You can thank your California government for your high gas prices . Here in Indiana were paying 1.95 our less a gallon. And all the e85 you want .
Where do you live? $1.95 😳
@@LeeC_808 I don't know if you can read but dude said Indiana
PanchitoKush Reyes AWW! Sick burn!
Indiana
I get mines from Indiana also I live very close in Crete gas is definitely cheaper
This is such a good car, and honestly for what you get it should be more expensive. Americans have a twisted view of what supercars should cost. This same kind of machine if made by a European automaker would be $150,000+ and no one would bat an eye. GET OVER THE PLASTIC A PILLAR PEOPLE.
In my opinion the 2020 gt500 has the BEST front design and 2014 as 2nd best
You have 1.5 times the hp of your GT 350. You pay to play. Also a fun fact. The f14 tomcat burned 300 gallons per minute in afterburners 💰💰
I do find it weird that the center console is plastic. I got a 2019 gt premium for the leather and even in there they wrapped the middle all in leather.
@@DKLabs99 still better than the plain old plastic though.
Couldn't agree with you more. This is pretty much a parts bin car and therefore share all the same quality problems the 30k mustangs have. Well, it shares everything except for the powertrain & hood. I guess that's what everyone will be paying for. After all, this is pretty much a bargain supercar.
Hey bro on that rain tray you know what you should try to do is figure out a velcro system something that you can easily take it off and put it back on be the first one to come up with it and then make some money who knows
i hope ford puts a manual in the gt500 for 2021
That's why I won't get rid of my 30mph, 88Tbird, 5.0, 5spd. It's great on gas.
So no cannonball runs in it?
Buy a car like that and then you whine about the mileage. What a soyboy.
