Excellent summary Alejandro on one of the finest cars Ford has ever come out with. Whether you bought an 07 or a 14 these cars are timeless classics and I feel will always be very highly sought after. This past April I picked up a 2011 convertible grabber blue and bone stock with only 13500 on her. I have added a 2.5 VMP pulley with a VMP 93 tune and she flat out hauls some serious butt. Thanks for a great summary.
Funny you say that at the end, I’m in the market and was deciding which way to go. I’m going 2011 gt500, the style is delicious so I’m going to go that way
I always like to return to this video to watch it just out of nostalgia now that I'm an owner of a GT500 . I remember watching this video morning and night debating whether to get the 11-12 or 13-14 model . 5.4 was the winner in the end
UrLocal Gato Congratulations! I just purchased my 12 in November. I’m actually really happy with the 5.4 given that everyone and their grandmas are blowing up the 5.8’s.
I live in New Zealand and have just bought a 2009 GT500 and I absolutely love it! I've driven Porsche's most of my life because I was being a snob, but Shelby has changed my life...people actually talk to me now! Can't wait until after Coronavirus is gone and can get out driving again...😎
I'm really liking the serious videos. Keep it up please, i'd much rather see vids with great info like this. The funnier part is both serious vids i've seen you do have been completely relevant for subjects that are all over the forums and facebook pages.
Nice vid man! You were all good except for the iron heads on the 07-0 9's, as many have pointed out. I have a question. What do you think is a smarter buy? Im about to purchase a 2011 SVTPP GT500 with very low miles (8k), and 3.6KB for $35k, or should I save the 10k and pick up.a low mile 2012 BOSS? Thanks
Ya but do you have a grabber orange '07-'09 vert GT500 stripe delete that we got rollin around where I live? I think not. My heart skips a beat every fucking spring I see that fucker out rolling O_O And I'm one to get excited finally getting to throw the summer shoes on my vista blue gt coupe after 5 months of winter beater mode xD
I just sold my 08 Shelby GT500 last year...check out american muscles stage 3 powerpacks on youtube! Great for seeing what mods are the best...they also give you tune numbers.
would you still say to go for an 11-12 gt500 if your not necessarily trying to put it on a drag strip and just want a great weekend/recreation vehicle?
I love my 2010 GT500 i'm have 719whp and 703T car runs great didn't want to push it so just ask for a safe tune and DCT did the tune right and was modded by WK AUTOMOTIVE
Great video Alex! couple fun facts about 13-14 GT500 for the group: they shine at 1/2 mile events with stock gearing. You can go 175 before you have to shift into 5th which is usually near the end of 1/2. The cams in a 13-14 are Ford GT cams. 13/14 come with some revised engine work. They do have an overev feature to let you rev to 7k but once you start adding boost and timing, keep it under 6500 on shifts. Any thing over 700whp, I recommend E85 (or other high octane fuels). Fuel system in the '13/14 is huge. I made over 850whp (for 2 years) on stock pumps with a KB BAP and ID1300 injectors on E85. My 13 ran a 12.2 @ 122 stock at 6500 DA. My '13 is very heavy, 4150+. The 13/14 come with Torsen differentials as an option and switching to 3:73 gears is easy if you want to drag race. The blocks in the GT500 can support 2k horsepower whereas the Coyotes need block strengthening measures and still are temperamental. The 13 bare block costs $5k so that is a huge negative. Coyote blocks are much much cheaper if you need a spare or one lets go. Everything costs more to mod on a GT500, #gt500tax. If you want a car you want to make 1000-1300whp on a budget, GT all day. I love the fact they come with an auto for #ndmf like me lol
So how about 2014 Gt500 with just bolt ons pulley and tune? how about exhaust cut out and pulley and tune? i am looking to buy one for a year and then sell it, value should be still up there.
My son in law has a 2014 gt 500. He went through the motor with less then 100 miles on the car. Forged rods, diamond pistons, put a 4.0 blower on it and it was pushing over 1000 whp. Installed a powerglide trans, changed the gearing and was running in the 9s with it. He had a friend of his drive it at the track and the car got totalled. The car is in pieces now sitting in his garage. He is still making payments on it.
kevin122759 is he still friends with the guy that totaled it? Your son in law must a very nice guy to let someone else drive his 1000+hp GT500. Anyways, sad to hear that he’s still making payments on a totaled vehicle.
Thanks for doing the video man! I'm looking at pulling the trigger on a 500 in late March to mid April, any suspension mods on the 11-12 cars that are a must do? thanks again
Alejandro Flores My 11 GT500 made 705rwhp on a DynoJet with a VMP Gen 2 TVS, Ford Racing monoblade, JLT 127, off road H-pipe, and tune on 93 octane. It made 681rwhp with a VMP Twin 67 TB with otherwise the exact same setup.
Just Picked up a 2013 GT500 with 6.6k miles on it. My purchase was made not considering how much horsepower it CAN make, but how much it DOES make. It’s bone stock as of now. Only mods will be 3:73 gears and off road H-pipe. I prefer exclusivity and drivetrain reliability over radically modifying cars. I absolutely hate the MT-82 trans in Mustangs now. I so wish my 2013 Boss302 had the tremmec in it. It should be a crime that Ford does not use them. The tremmec is absolutely the way to go. Very informative videos, great job!
U made my day. I own. Not financed. Own.....A 2012 Shelby Convertible. I saved literally for 21 years and finally bought it used with 15,000 miles on it 3 years ago for $41,000. Now I see the new ones and Im like ahhhhhhhh but I love my 2012. Ur video helped me realize. Just love it forever. Fk the new crap
I'm looking at gt500's and a roush 427 08 also a kenna bell 03 svt. And was considering being more practical option would be a isf. But they ride like crap and are autos. Anyways. What's your input on a what looks to be a heavily modded 03 that could prob out run just about any stock muscle car. Has 107k miles. How concerned should I be with reliability on all of these mustang's. Any input is welcome. Thanks.
please help im looking to buy a shelby gt500 mustang 1 is a white 2013 gt500 7k miles shaker audio... performance package..and track pack... other 1 is 2014 11k miles but my fav color red... no track pack no performance pack... my question is that are the track pack and performance pack needed if im not tracking and does the options help hold the value? from what i figure all the add ons from track pack like dif and oil cooler is just more crap to break down the road. can i get some opinions... do i go for looks or the track options... i realllllly like the race red! both gt500 im looking at have the same asking price
I got a 2012 that won't pass inspection because the O2 sensors won't heat up help me out there 302 boss intake cold air induction 85 Mill throttle body
I think it all depends on what you want I'm in the market for one and personally I don't look at anything older than a 10, I like the 11 and 12's, I think the 13-14 are overpriced because of the 200 mile an hour club. I don't want to run 200 in a mustang. I'm looking for reliable weekend track toy that will not only go fast in a straight line but take curves flat as well... so the gt500 is in the running. As well as the Z28. And maybe a ZL1...
Blake Fugger Who leaves them stock? ;) 13/14 if you're not gonna touch it. Already has a TVS, 3.31s for dd, updated electronics. Usually run about 5-10k more than same mileage 11-12 cars. 11-12 would still be a fast and fun daily if you wanna spend
Alex what year gt500 or a supersnake do you own probably neither so by one and then you can comment until then just stick with what you can afford a gt and leave the supersnake or gt500 to people that can afford it.Because I highly doubt you can afford a gt500 or supersnake tuning cars for a living so don't be a hater just get a job that pays more than 40grand a year lol
@@KenMileyJr The thing I don't like he basically said my 2010 Supersnake.Well not mine in general just the year of 2010 and my 10 Supersnake has given me no problems except run great and kicked every cars ass I raced including a Lamborghini. Aso I have a 07 Supersnake a gt500 and a 07 Shelby GT so I love shelbys and I know Alex tunes them but does he even own a shelby.O feel if you don't own the car you can't really have strong opinion because you tune the for a hour and you know the cars life story really. He said 10 gt500 suck and my 10 is a SUPERSNAKE and it has given me no problems and it's well over 725hp to the tire and if you don't own one don't hate on them and try to say GT make more power I really doubt that the shelbys are in a league of there own
Everybody has a new gt....I say shelby. They got just as much potential and a much better trans (comparing manual vs manual) plus they have way more torque than a coyote when you swap the blower say to a vmp gen3r vs the coyote with the same blower it won't have nearly the torque the shelby has ecspecially down low. This don't matter that much on et and mph at the drag strip because high rpm power is paramount there but on the street just riding around having fun the low end torque of the shelby makes it feel like an old school badass big block muscle car gives it a totally diff feel vs a coyote even if the coyote also has a pd blower. That helps their torque but it still won't match the 5.4 or 5.8 on torque. The overall driving experience is alot diff. Everyone has a 19 gt man you will get lost in a sea of them if you get that. That's just my .02 and yes I know this comment is a year old. What did you end up getting?
great video! you have confirmed my decision on an 07 im looking at, see I have a 91 fox, had it since new, and was thinking of procharging it..... I have had bad luck with doing add ons to my fox, heads, cam, intakes, fuel, gears..... really low bang for the buck, anyhow im gonna keep the fox as its running where it should be with the work that's been put into it.... what a rodeo to get things sorted out, anyhow im gonna buy this 07 its completely stock low miles and it comes with the bang I want and nobody is gonna get their greasy hands fiddling around with what ford has done, one question I have is cam phasers, my 5.4 in my f150 has that bastard tick to it, does the 5.4 in the gt500 have an issue with the bastard tick?
Nope the 4v 5.4 don't have that it don't have phasers or any of that bs. Its just a straight up old school mod motor...and they sound sick. Imo they sound better than coyotes but to each their own. They have massive torque even with a stock blower on the car they are such badass cars.
Thanks for the info Alex. I already have a 2014 base gt that I'm turning into a track car but I always wanted a GT500 for my daily. Now I know which one to get. 👍
I've had all three generations and the GT350. Keep in mind all my stuff is stock. I think I actually had the most fun in the 2008 GT500 I had. It was the most affordable, cheaper insurance and I think looked the best. I went to a 2011 GT500 and preferred my Boss 302 over it by far. Then went to a 2013 GT500 and it was awesome but I still preferred my 2008 GT500 or Boss 302 in daily driving. I had the GT350, run away from those. They are great when your engine actually works. My current stable is a 2013 Boss 302 Laguna Seca and a 2008 GT500 and I'm happy.
best cobra is my 93 Cobra. I have Baer front brake kit along with Paxton under hood making nearly 400hp to the wheel running mid 12 to high 12s and sexy weekend joyride. I daily GT3 and drive cobra to car shows lol. I'm sure I'm doing it backwards
It isnt just the rear end the trans has a taller gear set too youd prob need 410 to be like 373 in a 12 not sure if that would be close or not but something like that.
hey yolo have a question I have a 2010 mustang gt been having it for awhile I was wondering what you think. should I keep adding to it for horsepower and performance or should I just trade it in for a 5.0. Robert
I'm a proud owner of a 2010 Shelby GT500 and I've never had any problems other than basic wear and tear of brakes pads, tires and oil changes. Only upgrade is the flowmaster outlaws axle backs and Ford racing/airade cold air intake. Daily driver. Great video though.
Quick question 2012 Shelby gt500 or a 2017 mustang gt which is a better car ,I am in the market and I really like the gt500 2012 and the mustang gt 2017
I know this is an old vid, but what about Mr. Lund's 14? That certainly wasn't finished at 600+? I just watched the vid again today - over 1,000 rwhp as I recall?
They do but the 2013 and 2014 gt500 will have the updated instrument cluster with the message center, track apps, and a Speedo that goes to 220mph as opposed to 160 on the 2011-2012. The 2011-2012 also has a different front fascia and different tail lights
Which has a stronger engine stock, in terms of making higher power reliably. 13-14 roush or 11-12 shelby? I could get a 13-14 roush for same money as 11-12 shelby, but then I have to t56 swap the roush
Hi Alejandro, we need an updated gt500 buyers guide video based on your experience since you tune and come across more and more GT500 every day because honestly we buy and sell our cars without knowing much and all who struggles are the tuners who tune our cars. Thanks in advance
Can you do any more videos or Do you have any more info on the 5.4 gt500’s. Like the best modifications like maybe Tvs blower vs other aftermarkets etc. I’m looking at picking up an 11-12 and not many people have good info nor from a tuners perspective. Thanks
07-09 for looks. 11-12 for performance. Owned a 11 and now own a 07. I like the 07 better. Feels more old school. The difference between the 07 GT and GT500 is leaps and bounds different than a 11 GT and a 11 GT500.
I've always thought the motors out of the GT500KR was a solid motor (also in the 2010 Shelby) and easy to make power with. An iron block is heavier, sure, but they're robust and can handle putting 1000 HP into. I didn't think that was a draw back.
My 10 supersnake is badass and it hasn't given me any problems just stupid fast navigation DVD player what else is to want the put 727 to the tire with almost 700lbs
As a 07 GT500 owner I completely agree that the 13/14 are overrated and overpriced. I wouldn't trade mine for a 11-12 but I understand where he is coming from. At the time I was in the market, Aug 2011, the only advertised difference was 50hp b/c Ford put a stock CAI on, also I don't buy new cars. The one thing I know you said that is incorrect is that the 07-09 had iron heads which is false. They have aluminum heads direct from the 06 GT40. Otherwise great video, I like the new style but would still like to see the old YDB every once in a while. Also thanks for the tune.
I bought my '07 new and have been very happy with it; mods are 2.9 Whipple, 72# injectors, Bassani headers, x-pipe and full 3" exhaust, 08 damper, FRPP suspension, DSS one piece driveshaft, Steeda shaft cage, FRPP 3.73 gears, Short throw shifter, Steeda carbon fiber cold air kit, Steeda control arms, Steeda torque box supports, L&M Billet TB, KR diff reservoir, C&R dual pass cooler & rad, FRPP shift handle, M/T ET Street 2 DR, FRPP coil covers. To me, the newer ones just don't have the look, but to each their own. Oh, Vista blue w/white stripes
Pops n Cracks mine does that sometimes. Usually will only go for it from a 40mph roll. Added a spec twin/ slave/throw out/pilot. Those 6060’s don’t come cheap so I usually let the stop light heroes drive on by.
I still kinda doubt a stock 11-12 can do mid 11 on stock tires. Motor Trend only got to low 12 on a 2012 and 11.6 on a 2013. Motor trend are famous for high test numbers.
Fastest I've seen a stock 13-14 go was a 11.2. I've heard reports of someone doing 11.1, but I did not see it personally. Fastest stock '12 I've seen was a 11.7 (with a good driver that also was running 8.9xs in his Buick GN). I kind of like the idea of getting into the 10s with just drag radials (13-14) so that is where my obvious preference is:).
13' FTW! 5.8 with a 2.2 TVS stock! If that alone is not enough people often forget that Ford added carbon fiber drive shaft, way larger dual pass intercooler. Adjustable dapamning shocks so u can drag or track it. Functional front splitter to reduce drag and add down force. Dual clutch lighter flywheel..... the list goes on. This guy only cares about bragging rights of HP. The rear gears are cheap to put 4.10s or 3.73s. And for bragging rights pulliy, COI, and throttle body is all you need for almost 700rwhp.
Victor Vargas shit my advice would be if you find one with low mileage and has been taken care of inside and out Buy It. I love the 03-04 Mach 1s hard to come across.
Victor Vargas Biggest problem with the N/A 4vs from that era are the rods. They usually are the first to go on a boosted setup. Procharger under 12lbs with good tuning and adequate fuel is safe on a stock mach engine, ~425-450whp. Skip cams and bolt ons. 4.10 gears, short throw, and some control arms before boost.
Nice vid and agree with what you said. So much so that I placed a order for my 2011 GT500 Performance once I heard about the $10k worth of upgrades over the 2010 model with little to no change in MSRP due to the lack of gas guzzler tax on the 2011's. Plus it's the lightest weighing in at 3,751 and got mine down to 3,660 on Racestar's. Check out my vids if you want.
Thx for the info Alex, always like to watch your videos, and get the true info on our Mustangs. Merry Christmas buddy.
Really enjoying the new content; looking forward to more videos.

Good to know knowledge! Appreciate it man! 👌🏻
love this channel buddy! keep those good vids coming!
Thanks for the video. Just picked up a 2011 GT500 with 120 miles on it!!!
Been watching the channel since I stumbled across this video. Congrats on the success. #1 mustang authority
This video is still relevant af! Thank you!!!
I'm in the market for a 14 and you're killing it
I have a 2010 gt500 with a Whipple 800 wrhp and am very happy with it. People have different opinions and every car is different
Awesome dude.This guy has a Fairmont did you know that. But doesn't own a gt500.Lol What a joke.
Nice vid man! You were all good except for the iron heads on the 07-0 9's, as many have pointed out. I have a question. What do you think is a smarter buy?

07-09 had aluminum head. Great videos!
Very nice video, thanks for making it. Very good points you make.
Just picked up a 2011 GT500 SVTPP. It’s 1 of 19 Grabber Blue w/ Factory Stripe-Delete. Only has about 20k miles on it. Fantastic video btw. Cheers!
Ya but do you have a grabber orange '07-'09 vert GT500 stripe delete that we got rollin around where I live? I think not. My heart skips a beat every fucking spring I see that fucker out rolling O_O And I'm one to get excited finally getting to throw the summer shoes on my vista blue gt coupe after 5 months of winter beater mode xD
Thank you. This is very well done, very well said and touches on several key points that are all valid.
My Favorites are the 11-12s as well. Prefer the 12s bc you can get the Recaros.
super informative wicked info str8 to the point loved it , subscribed thanks brotha
My 2008 Shelby GT500 ..... Is Pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Johnshaft1970 what color and mods I just picked up an 07 vista blue convertible
I just sold my 08 Shelby GT500 last year...check out american muscles stage 3 powerpacks on youtube! Great for seeing what mods are the best...they also give you tune numbers.
Hay man real good info here
Awesome!!! I just bought a 2011 gt 500👍

I love my 2012 .. it sports a vmp gen2 tvs and with other supporting mods it puts down 700 plus hp on pump gas ⛽️..
Street driven gt500 how is that vmp working out for you? Is that a 2.9?
Thanks for doing the video man! I'm looking at pulling the trigger on a 500 in late March to mid April, any suspension mods on the 11-12 cars that are a must do? thanks again
Alejandro Flores My 11 GT500 made 705rwhp on a DynoJet with a VMP Gen 2 TVS, Ford Racing monoblade, JLT 127, off road H-pipe, and tune on 93 octane. It made 681rwhp with a VMP Twin 67 TB with otherwise the exact same setup.
So would 07-09 be ok if not affording an 11-12 or go for used 2015 GT? Are the 07-09 less than 2015 GT?
Would it help the 13-14 if the gearing was changed?
Didnt the aluminum block and heads start to over heat and have issues?
Thanks for the info. man, just picked up a 2011 performance pack etc...
Great info! What if a boss 302 was thrown into the mix?

would u guys buy a 2011 gt500 high mileage 100k all stock just exhaust? 3 owner 20k. looks clean from the pics going to go check it out.
Can you add Twin Turbo to these motors?
I got a 2012 that won't pass inspection because the O2 sensors won't heat up help me out there 302 boss intake cold air induction 85 Mill throttle body
I usually don't like ya, but thank you for this video dude. I have a new respect for ya.
Straight to the point and with facts the whole way. Thank you
I think it all depends on what you want I'm in the market for one and personally I don't look at anything older than a 10, I like the 11 and 12's, I think the 13-14 are overpriced because of the 200 mile an hour club. I don't want to run 200 in a mustang. I'm looking for reliable weekend track toy that will not only go fast in a straight line but take curves flat as well... so the gt500 is in the running. As well as the Z28. And maybe a ZL1...
What’s better 11-12 or 13-14 gt500 on pump gas
Love this channel. Knows his shit. Good advice and suggestions.
Hey Alejandro, what GT500 year would you buy if you don't plan on doing any mods and just want a fun and fast daily driver? Still the 11-12
Blake Fugger Who leaves them stock? ;) 13/14 if you're not gonna touch it. Already has a TVS, 3.31s for dd, updated electronics. Usually run about 5-10k more than same mileage 11-12 cars. 11-12 would still be a fast and fun daily if you wanna spend
I think u said the 07-09 where iron headed but they arent they are aluminum headed with a iron block
I misspoke i believe you're correct.
Alex what year gt500 or a supersnake do you own probably neither so by one and then you can comment until then just stick with what you can afford a gt and leave the supersnake or gt500 to people that can afford it.Because I highly doubt you can afford a gt500 or supersnake tuning cars for a living so don't be a hater just get a job that pays more than 40grand a year lol
Alejandro Flores Curious what year is your gt500 or supersnake just curious
@@anthonylaudano9751 He works with and tunes this stuff every day. I trust his opinion and recommendations.
@@KenMileyJr The thing I don't like he basically said my 2010 Supersnake.Well not mine in general just the year of 2010 and my 10 Supersnake has given me no problems except run great and kicked every cars ass I raced including a Lamborghini. Aso I have a 07 Supersnake a gt500 and a 07 Shelby GT so I love shelbys and I know Alex tunes them but does he even own a shelby.O feel if you don't own the car you can't really have strong opinion because you tune the for a hour and you know the cars life story really. He said 10 gt500 suck and my 10 is a SUPERSNAKE and it has given me no problems and it's well over 725hp to the tire and if you don't own one don't hate on them and try to say GT make more power I really doubt that the shelbys are in a league of there own
Alex quick question would you say it's better to buy a 2012 gt500 or a 2019 mustang gt? What is your opinion on that?
Everybody has a new gt....I say shelby. They got just as much potential and a much better trans (comparing manual vs manual) plus they have way more torque than a coyote when you swap the blower say to a vmp gen3r vs the coyote with the same blower it won't have nearly the torque the shelby has ecspecially down low. This don't matter that much on et and mph at the drag strip because high rpm power is paramount there but on the street just riding around having fun the low end torque of the shelby makes it feel like an old school badass big block muscle car gives it a totally diff feel vs a coyote even if the coyote also has a pd blower. That helps their torque but it still won't match the 5.4 or 5.8 on torque. The overall driving experience is alot diff. Everyone has a 19 gt man you will get lost in a sea of them if you get that. That's just my .02 and yes I know this comment is a year old. What did you end up getting?
great video! you have confirmed my decision on an 07 im looking at, see I have a 91 fox, had it since new, and was thinking of procharging it..... I have had bad luck with doing add ons to my fox, heads, cam, intakes, fuel, gears..... really low bang for the buck, anyhow im gonna keep the fox as its running where it should be with the work that's been put into it.... what a rodeo to get things sorted out, anyhow im gonna buy this 07 its completely stock low miles and it comes with the bang I want and nobody is gonna get their greasy hands fiddling around with what ford has done, one question I have is cam phasers, my 5.4 in my f150 has that bastard tick to it, does the 5.4 in the gt500 have an issue with the bastard tick?
Nope the 4v 5.4 don't have that it don't have phasers or any of that bs. Its just a straight up old school mod motor...and they sound sick. Imo they sound better than coyotes but to each their own. They have massive torque even with a stock blower on the car they are such badass cars.
Thanks for the info Alex. I already have a 2014 base gt that I'm turning into a track car but I always wanted a GT500 for my daily. Now I know which one to get. 👍
Nice little overview, but don't the '07-'09s have aluminum heads? (@1:22)
good vid! im in the provess2 of looking at an 11 and trading in my 13 GT/CS
great video very informative
damn yolo.. & i bought a 2010 like 5 months ago. great content!
Do you still have your 2010. I am looking at a 2010 for sale by me that has everything I want. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you.
What do you think about the Super Snake package for the 2015 and up GT's instead of getting a GT500?
Bjorn Hermansen super snake is junk
so glad i seen this.... im looking at an 11 right now.
bought my 2011 GT500 with 3.73 after watching this video. thx man
2010 gt500s are cheap in my area, Toronto Canada what makes them bad?
They are just a weird in between year that makes them undesirable. like the 2010 gt
I've had all three generations and the GT350. Keep in mind all my stuff is stock. I think I actually had the most fun in the 2008 GT500 I had. It was the most affordable, cheaper insurance and I think looked the best. I went to a 2011 GT500 and preferred my Boss 302 over it by far. Then went to a 2013 GT500 and it was awesome but I still preferred my 2008 GT500 or Boss 302 in daily driving. I had the GT350, run away from those. They are great when your engine actually works. My current stable is a 2013 Boss 302 Laguna Seca and a 2008 GT500 and I'm happy.
I have a 2019 charger rt but I Wana trade in for a 2011 gt500
Thanks for the info but ill stick with the 2011-12 GT500. Again great info.
Me too 2012 Gt500. Thats what he said is the best.
What year is your GT500
like the new blogs. quick question. any new blogs of the gt350, whether to keep them n/a or boosting them.
King Smokey gutierrez I can soon.
Thanks. Ill be looking forward to your input.. im debating on what to do to my gt350.
best cobra is my 93 Cobra. I have Baer front brake kit along with Paxton under hood making nearly 400hp to the wheel running mid 12 to high 12s and sexy weekend joyride. I daily GT3 and drive cobra to car shows lol. I'm sure I'm doing it backwards
I have a 2013 GT500 change out the rear gear put a 373 in no more gearing problems
It isnt just the rear end the trans has a taller gear set too youd prob need 410 to be like 373 in a 12 not sure if that would be close or not but something like that.
Glad I got my 2014 Roush Stage 3 with a phase 2 pack now instead.
hey yolo have a question I have a 2010 mustang gt been having it for awhile I was wondering what you think. should I keep adding to it for horsepower and performance or should I just trade it in for a 5.0. Robert
Get a coyote. The 3v is honestly not worth modding unless you build the bottom end.
and lock out the cam phasers, or at least get phaser limiters
I'm a proud owner of a 2010 Shelby GT500 and I've never had any problems other than basic wear and tear of brakes pads, tires and oil changes. Only upgrade is the flowmaster outlaws axle backs and Ford racing/airade cold air intake. Daily driver. Great video though.
Quick question 2012 Shelby gt500 or a 2017 mustang gt which is a better car ,I am in the market and I really like the gt500 2012 and the mustang gt 2017
moises rodriguez boosted s550
manual or auto?
I know this is an old vid, but what about Mr. Lund's 14? That certainly wasn't finished at 600+? I just watched the vid again today - over 1,000 rwhp as I recall?
With an insanely modified motor. There's nothing stuck about that car
I’m in the market of getting either 07-09 gt500 or 10-14 gt500 which would you get ??? And why?
I just need help on deciding which is the best one
Pretty sure he answered that in the vid.
Listen, the '14 to me is the beast to get 5.8 L and Mr. Lund (is it John) brought his 14 to over 1,000 RWHP with the VMP Gen3R
I thought the the 2011 to 2014 Mustangs GT500s had the same body. Does anyone know the difference?
They do but the 2013 and 2014 gt500 will have the updated instrument cluster with the message center, track apps, and a Speedo that goes to 220mph as opposed to 160 on the 2011-2012. The 2011-2012 also has a different front fascia and different tail lights
Which has a stronger engine stock, in terms of making higher power reliably. 13-14 roush or 11-12 shelby? I could get a 13-14 roush for same money as 11-12 shelby, but then I have to t56 swap the roush
Roush engines are stock coyote.
Shelby engines from gt500 are stronger than stock gen 1 engines. Gen 2 coyotes are better than any Shelby engine
Alejandro Flores what are you limited to in a stock gen 2 as opposed to a 11-12 shelby?
@@NorthEastSaskFarmer 850+ stock gen 2.....no higher than 800 on gt500...safely
Alejandro Flores I’m limited to 94 octane, in addition to water meth. Can 700whp be attained without a blower swap? Perhaps porting the stock blower?
Hi Alejandro, we need an updated gt500 buyers guide video based on your experience since you tune and come across more and more GT500 every day
because honestly we buy and sell our cars without knowing much and all who struggles are the tuners who tune our cars.
Thanks in advance
Good idea
Can you do any more videos or Do you have any more info on the 5.4 gt500’s. Like the best modifications like maybe Tvs blower vs other aftermarkets etc. I’m looking at picking up an 11-12 and not many people have good info nor from a tuners perspective. Thanks
07-09 for looks. 11-12 for performance. Owned a 11 and now own a 07. I like the 07 better. Feels more old school. The difference between the 07 GT and GT500 is leaps and bounds different than a 11 GT and a 11 GT500.
I've always thought the motors out of the GT500KR was a solid motor (also in the 2010 Shelby) and easy to make power with. An iron block is heavier, sure, but they're robust and can handle putting 1000 HP into. I didn't think that was a draw back.
There's no difference between the kr motor and a stock one. From that year. Its just a blower upgrade. The Shelby 1000 motors are stout
ALEX IN YOUR OPINION HOW MUCH POWER WILL A STOCK 08 GT500 MAKE SAFELY.
My 10 supersnake is badass and it hasn't given me any problems just stupid fast navigation DVD player what else is to want the put 727 to the tire with almost 700lbs
As a 07 GT500 owner I completely agree that the 13/14 are overrated and overpriced. I wouldn't trade mine for a 11-12 but I understand where he is coming from. At the time I was in the market, Aug 2011, the only advertised difference was 50hp b/c Ford put a stock CAI on, also I don't buy new cars. The one thing I know you said that is incorrect is that the 07-09 had iron heads which is false. They have aluminum heads direct from the 06 GT40. Otherwise great video, I like the new style but would still like to see the old YDB every once in a while. Also thanks for the tune.
I bought my '07 new and have been very happy with it; mods are 2.9 Whipple, 72# injectors, Bassani headers, x-pipe and full 3" exhaust, 08 damper, FRPP suspension, DSS one piece driveshaft, Steeda shaft cage, FRPP 3.73 gears, Short throw shifter, Steeda carbon fiber cold air kit, Steeda control arms, Steeda torque box supports, L&M Billet TB, KR diff reservoir, C&R dual pass cooler & rad, FRPP shift handle, M/T ET Street 2 DR, FRPP coil covers. To me, the newer ones just don't have the look, but to each their own. Oh, Vista blue w/white stripes
What do you think about transmission issues on 11-12 gt500? ( 1 to 2nd grind)
Pops n Cracks mine does that sometimes. Usually will only go for it from a 40mph roll. Added a spec twin/ slave/throw out/pilot. Those 6060’s don’t come cheap so I usually let the stop light heroes drive on by.
Mgw shifter and mobil 1 atf would fix the 1-2 lockout/grind if synchros/gears are still good.
What is yours
Isnt 07-09 heads aluminum??
Yes
I would take Alejandro's advice 24/7
did the 11-12 Gt500 have a triple cam option?
8 cams
god dayum!
Poor Man Mods does your 2005 camaro have pistons?
No, it's a V3 Rotary
no they all have dual cams in each head or 4 cams
lol you don't recommend ? I have a 2009 with a 3.6 building the motor .... you need a wide band for anything tuned
A lot can happen in 6 years lol now I have a 14 gt500 and a c7z06
good info...thanx
Gt500 will be worth more in the long run. Yea gt may be easier to make power but at the end if the dat it's just a GT
Spot on dude.
I still kinda doubt a stock 11-12 can do mid 11 on stock tires. Motor Trend only got to low 12 on a 2012 and 11.6 on a 2013. Motor trend are famous for high test numbers.
Fastest I've seen a stock 13-14 go was a 11.2. I've heard reports of someone doing 11.1, but I did not see it personally. Fastest stock '12 I've seen was a 11.7 (with a good driver that also was running 8.9xs in his Buick GN). I kind of like the idea of getting into the 10s with just drag radials (13-14) so that is where my obvious preference is:).
Evan smith ran 11.5....they ran it at englishtown they have amazing da there and evan def has the driver mod but the potential is there.
13' FTW! 5.8 with a 2.2 TVS stock! If that alone is not enough people often forget that Ford added carbon fiber drive shaft, way larger dual pass intercooler. Adjustable dapamning shocks so u can drag or track it. Functional front splitter to reduce drag and add down force. Dual clutch lighter flywheel..... the list goes on. This guy only cares about bragging rights of HP. The rear gears are cheap to put 4.10s or 3.73s. And for bragging rights pulliy, COI, and throttle body is all you need for almost 700rwhp.
And a 11-12 with a tvs gaps it. All day cause the 3.73s and 2.97 1st in their trans.
Any comments or opinions on the 03-04 Machs?
Victor Vargas shit my advice would be if you find one with low mileage and has been taken care of inside and out Buy It.
I love the 03-04 Mach 1s hard to come across.
Maurice Aucoin I have one lol I'm just curious on the power department
Victor Vargas Biggest problem with the N/A 4vs from that era are the rods. They usually are the first to go on a boosted setup. Procharger under 12lbs with good tuning and adequate fuel is safe on a stock mach engine, ~425-450whp. Skip cams and bolt ons. 4.10 gears, short throw, and some control arms before boost.
Nice vid and agree with what you said. So much so that I placed a order for my 2011 GT500 Performance once I heard about the $10k worth of upgrades over the 2010 model with little to no change in MSRP due to the lack of gas guzzler tax on the 2011's. Plus it's the lightest weighing in at 3,751 and got mine down to 3,660 on Racestar's. Check out my vids if you want.
