I came here for noise and wasnt disappointed!
It's not noise. It's music.
:)
Back when this car came out around the fall of 2006. 500 horsepower was a huge deal. Nobody saw that kind of horsepower from a muscle car. The mustang gt finally reached the 300 horsepower threshold just a year prior. And all cobras before only had a few more horsepower than the mustang gt. It was just mind boggling to see a mustang with Ferrari horsepower figures. Seriously the last 3 decades before that mustang gts and cobras has 200 hp 250 for years. Nowadays it’s not a big deal. I mean camrys have 300 hp. I’m serious. When we saw 500 horsepower it blew everyone away.
500 hp is still a lot today you bone.
@@19hundoc47 where did I say it wasn’t a lot today still ? Derp
Beats the sound of a Merc or BMW V8 any day.
C63 507 disagrees
Yes, this is sture.
I am from Germany, but I prefer the muscle cars. They look so great
Yes that cap.
Yes
NOW we are talking ! Thanks
GT500 was a big engined drag strip monster....GT350 was an alum small block lightweight road racing machine
GT350/500, greatest cars ever made.
light years away from my 5.0 1992 model with marshmallow suspension.
Oops original GT500 was in ‘67 and had the 427cid engine...original GT350 was ‘65 and had aluminum 289cid/4-speed/rack & pinion steering
Wow! It takes a Brit to give an accurate assessment of the S197 Shelby. Nice job…
Ironically....it was Carroll Shelby who designed the original lightweight & responsive ‘67 Fastback GT350 2-seater + roll cage + aluminum 289/4spd for TRANS AM style racing....NOT drag racing....NOT circle track racing....A Shelby Mustang should be right at home on that parkway road going @ 100-120mph
I want a car that sounds like that 😍😍
I’d buy one now if I had the money as they now make rhd ones only problem is the cost of running a v8 in England!!!
Second problem after fuel costs: Weighs more than two moons of Saturn and bigger than a double Decker bus that forgot its diet.. Buy a car for the sound alone :TVR, and the big bonus they drive properly, would spank that GT 500 in any drag race (even a Chimaera), while only weighing 1100kgs.. Job done..
Nice 👍 ! Blue Ridge Parkway ?
Looks like it
There was a GT500 with SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTY TWO HORSEPOWER after this one!
Don’t forget the king of the road.
850 hp but you can tell factory to tweak it to 1,000 hp
You do all of the normal go fast things to the engine and pop a set of 3.73 or 3.90 gears in it and it can be a bit of a handful to some people.
Awwwww that sound is soooo addictive!! £20k is nothing for a car like that, shame it wouldn't work so well in the UK. I'd install an LSD in it.....if that's possible.....and enjoy the sounds of the V8.
Easy to get an LSD, loads of choices
@@JayEmmOnCars An LSD would make it a safer car, less fun obviously but also less chance of doing a Lawrie MR2 fiasco!!
They already come with lsd from factory as well as the GT.
Great car.
Greetings from Germany
Great car,Great video!.
But have never seen them for that price.
The 2013 and 2014 is the one to have, aluminum block, 5.8L, 662 hp and it looks better vs previous iterations.
Lol.... NO THE GEN2 CONDOR IS THE ONE TO HAVE. 11/12
@@ranware2779 everyone thinks because it is a 5.8 and has 662 hp stock its somehow light years ahead of past versions and that isnt the case...youre literally a blower head unit swap away from 13-14 power levels (even modded 13-14s) for less money and arguably more dependable (5.4 seems to take abuse a tad better than the 5.8 and isnt nearly as expensive to replace should something happen to the block itself). I like all the 5.4s myself but the 11-12 is ideal w the aluminum block and knock sensors/wideband stock.
Yes but also twice the cost
Ford, expert at turning fuel into noise.🙉🙉🙉
Awesome review James..👌👌
Cheers
@@JayEmmOnCars That's night the last the 14 gt500 is the last independent suspension
@@JayEmmOnCars My 08 gt500 9.77 at 144.8 in the quarter mile.Pretty fast.Roughly 850hp.Stock mid 12s but my Shelby a lot faster.
You can take a lot of weight out of them and get them to shift without much modding.
There were 2 other GT500's after this one. The one in the video is a 2007-2009 model, then there was the 2010-2012 model and the 2013-2014 model. Each with more power than the last. The 2014 still had a live rear axle as well.
EDIT: The 5.4 ain't no small block lol. The engine is massive.
EDIT #2: These were tested at 0-60 in 4.3 seconds and low 12's in the 1/4 at around 115ish mph.
They're all based on the same chassis no?
662 BHP one did 3.4 0-60 11.4 126 mph quarter and 0-125(200 kph) in 11.3 seconds, reaching 150 mph in 18 seconds.
A 2010 does not have the same engine as the 11/12 gt500 5.4 gen2 condor aluminum the years prior to are iron bloc gen 1 condor
The 07-09 had iron block...2010 also had iron block but came with a better intake and a better stock tune bringing it from 500 to 540 horses...in 2011 they got an aluminum block and remained unchanged outside of getting EPSA (electric power steering assist) which supposedly frees up a little power and is the reason for the 10 hp bump to 550 hp. The only reason these make more is better stock tune and intake, once both cars arw running the same aftermarket intake and tuning they put down basically the same power. The 13-14 does have a larger 5.8 (which is just a factory modded version of the 5.4) but the main thing that gives them more power is the 2.3 tvs blower they come with. A bolt on 13-14 can make over 700 to the wheels on pump gas because of that better blower, if you swap that blower on a 07-09 with full bolt ons as well it too can be above 700 on pump gas so the larger displacement is kind of a wash and doesn't mean a whole lot because forced induction is involved. If they were na the extra displacement would matter alot more. Ive seen ported trinity blowers for under 2k you can put one of these on an early gt500 and be 700+ rwhp fairly cheaply considering the price of the car to begin with.
Moral of the story is the later cars have more power stock but all of them are pretty similar power wise once theyre all sporting the same blower and supporting mods. You get more of a jump in performance with aftermarket mods with the early cars because they were more restricted from the factory. Just look at the stock air intake on them lol. Big ol panel filter with a small ass tube.
Also another thing is the 5.4 is most definately a small block all the modular engines, and the coyote based engines are all small blocks. The blocks themselves arent that big the engine is huge because they have really wide dual overhead cam style heads. Ford hasnt put a big block in anything performance oriented in a very very long time prob since the 60s or early 70s. They did a boss 429 in 1994 with a big block engine but it wasnt a production car.
What is good about the early gt500s isnt what they do stock its what they can do with minor mods. You can be at the power levels the later cars have only havingba few grand in mods total and im including the price of a used ported trinity blower. Considering you can get these 20 grand cheaper than 13-14 cars i say that is a bargain.
Nice to see you reviewing a few American beauties....
What part of the Blue Ridge Parkway were you on?
Bro with dealer mark ups back in 07 they were $80000. How was that affordable?
Handsome vehicle
Meet you at Deals Gap tomorrow in my Evora ? Bring your weapon of choice ? 😉
I will own one. One day. My dream car. 2008 Shelby GT500.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
These cars do exactly as advertised. GT stands for Grand Touring. Sit back and go for a long journey with a great noise and the ability to go like a bat out of hell if you feel like it.
I've got a geourgios 2008 ..5.4svt modified by svt ..aprox horse.power is 662 ish it's super fast. ..at 140 it's burning rear tires like your popin clutch .. so don't think them cars can't run because the flat assess go like hell. Nobody will race me .
Wanna do my Vh45de swapped s14? Lol I did that mustang a while back in a video. Love Geraldi 🤘
These were $85K with dealer mark-ups when they came out. Not exactly cheap, especially at the time when cars were more affordable.
Okay, this is a bit off the subject but I'll post this here because at least it pertains to LHD cars: as an American (who has driven in the UK), I've always wondered if right-handed people (and I can't/won't assume you are one) there in the UK who have experienced a LHD car don't feel that having the car's gear change at their right hand instead of their left hand isn't simply more natural. Obviously, for a lefty, the argument would work in reverse and RHD would have the advantage.
I'm right handed but it feels weird driving lhd - its just what you get used to
Excellent!!!!
very nice car
“Oh no! It doesn’t ride like a Cadillac! And, the road noise is terrible! And, the clutch is stiff! And, there’s plastic in the cockpit! And…”. Who are these people? Wait… I don’t want to know…
Yessss...more...more
6:09 he is running that clutch for sound and it shows. Mustangs are unforgiving if you drive them hard like that. I'll stick with my tiny turbo mustang 310HP 20+ MPG even when I'm feeling the need for speed.
this GT500 was considered not that great back in the day... the SVT Cobra was just better at the time. It was way cooler imo as well. 4.6L with a big ol whip is what I like to hear!!!!! I would also love any Windsor car.
okay, I wanna question his quote where he claims this was the last mustang without independent rear suspension, I thought they had a live axle until 2015. Can anyone clarify this for me?
Might’ve been referring to the gt500 lineage
@@osiris_the_great6861 13/14 GT500 has a live rear axle.
He's talking about the s197, 2005-14
defo bit of fun for the price
U drove the wrong one next gen up was way better more hp and just great car and the next gen was mr shelbys last 500 he worked on and was the fastest factory mustang ever! So re do this review trust me big differnce. Cooled rearend 662 5.8 carbon drive saft and tons other stuff
12 second car is fast for most!!
The new GT 500 is over 750 hp
Is This The Powder Cast Internal? I Heard The Engine Break At 4250 RPM If You Tuned It Without Changing The Internal Or Is This Another Cobra?
That might be another Cobra
@@JayEmmOnCars Oh Ok, Thanks For The Info Mate! And While You Are In America Are You Going To Review Another Muscle Car? Like The Camaro, Corvette Etc.?
@@ahrred3127 wait and see
@@JayEmmOnCars I Can't Wait To See
lol 500 hp and 0-60 in the low 4s isn’t excitement out of the box? C’mon man
Dude's just saying something for the sake of it
@@19hundoc47 i like the part when he said, “it doesnt shift great.” Like bro its got a tremec TR-6060, one of the best transmissions on the market😂
Imagine, owning this here in the U.K, then during "earth day" with them liberal socialists protesting, drive up near them and give them some music to hear! That will really "trigger" them. They would be crying out for their "safe space", haha!
i think you are far more triggered by "them liberal socialists protesting" than you realize, if your first thought after watching a car review is making a comment about them
lol you know someone is a car noob when they call something that runs 12s in the quarter slow
Nica
Knight Rider 😂
😎😋
This guy never got pass like 3500rpm
It got revved out, trust me
And not one wants it' not unless your a good ole boy '
An Audi S3 would out perform it , especially on those roads
Dont underestimate what these are capable of with minor mods put into the right places. You can put down close to 600 rwhp with simple bolt on parts and a tune and even in the twisties there are aftermarket parts from companies like maximum motorsports, steeda, bmr etc thats really can transform the car into a corner carving drag strip eating monster.
the problem with this car is not weight its gearing
I am slightly underwhelmed by the noise - it doesn't sound tuneful like other V8s....
Not a small block genius
You sure that's only 500hp
Yup
It sounds good but not loud enough
A lot of car for very little money.
I do like the Mustang, but $25k? For that money I could and would rather get an old AMG C63. Come to think of it I sold mine for that much. And I miss it.
This is a very special car theyre just plain badass and with the right minor mods they really wake up big time, they look and sound killer and their powerband is badass...almost a completely flat torque curve well above 500 to the ground with minor bolt on parts....accross the entire powerband...lots of fun. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes but these are def worth 25k imo. Lots of potential. The later ones being higher hp drove these prices down but what ppl dont realize is theyre very similar for the most part the biggest difference is intake/tune changes on the 10-12 and the 13-14, although it does have little more displacement it dont seem to make much difference once both cars are running the same blower, which the 13-14 car has 662 hp stock as opposed to 500 like these due to that better blower mostly. I say this because these early gt500s with the same trinity blower from the 13-14 cars (which bolts right on direct swap, like i said theyre essentially the same car at the core) put down comparable power numbers to bolt on 13-14 cars. Basically all gt500s put down similar power once theyre running the same blower and supporting mods etc. You can find ported trinity blowers for under 2k so you can make 700+ rwhp reliably and fairly cheaply considering the cost of the car.
