Hi. I'm super late to see your video/channel, but can you please let me know how you've like the Crusader shocks over the last 2.5 years? Viking say all throughout their Application Guide -------- "CrusaderTM series shocks are for COMPETITION USE ONLY and NOT designed for street use. Failure to follow the off-track shock settings could result in damage to the shock and/or to you and/or your vehicle and will void the warranty" Have you had any issues running the Crusaders on the street? Thanks!
Amazing Car Andrew, congrats!!!!!! I have a doubt about what considerations do I have to take under advice if I were to do a struts and shocks upgrade to my 2014 GT500 that came from factory with the performance package from SVT which has the Bilstein electronic selectable dumpers. Just like your Shelby. There are things in the electronics of the car which may be affected if I change this Bilsteins and the front struts?...such as launch control and other electronic features of the car, driving modes in the steering wheel, etc. That is what I would very much appreciate you could take some time to explain and clarify to me the implications and considerations to have in mind if such a change was to be made to my car. I hope I’m explaining myself and that you can provide valuable feedback on this.
I have an 03 Cobra and just can’t see myself letting her go for a GT500. Yes, absolutely beautiful car but something about a Terminator will always have my heart. Thoughts on why or why not i should make the switch sometime in the future ?
I love both cars alot...they both are built off the same architecture engine wise so they both sound bad ass gt500 just has larger engine and better heads and stuff. Its like a newer upgraded terminator. These cars are very much alike gt500 is just a newer version both sound alot better than the coyote (imo) both have transmissions that are better than the mt82 i do like that the gt500 is much easier to get huge dual fan heat exchangers into and it comes with a solid rear stock im more of a dragstrip kinda guy so handling dont matter a whole lot to me i got a fiesta st daily if i wanna go carve curves. I really do love both cars the gt500 learned from the few mistakes cobras had when out and they just upgraded it and made it better over the years. The trans is super bad ass (tr6060) theyre just bad ass. They are heavier but they have the larger engine capable of more power and torque to offset that. I dont get the back and forth between the two cars...you got gt500 guys who diss cobras and cobra guys who diss gt500s theyre both the same car essentially the gt500 is just a newer model year of the same exact thing just upgraded over the years. Cobra has better stock rods but gt500s have better stock heads, larger engine, ability to have a much better heat exchanger, and basically everything except the rods is better on the gt500 and the rods arent far behind either theyre pretty stout and its not that expensive to upgrade to better rods and pistons and you can up compression ratio when you do that and make killer power. I love both cars im going with a gt500 because it fits what im wanting to do more plus ive never owned any stang newer than a new edge ive had a mach 1 and 97 cobra along with a couple 94-95s and three fox bodies i want to try a different platform instead of getting the same platform i had before (although the terminator to me is the end all be all new edge hands downl) both cars are great and very similar in many ways...if you like one you should like the other also no reason not to. Some people dont like gt500s because they feel that they kicked their cobras off the top of the mountain and feel somehow offended by that its just a natural evolution. The made an s197 cobra and upgraded most everything on it to be better they just happen to call it a gt500...in my eyes its still an svt cobra, albiet a newer and better version which is why i want one lol. Both are amazing cars
@@karlhopkins713 yea i have been in love with cobras since i was 19 when they came out summer 02...its always been a dream car of mine....always said back then whenever prices go down im gonna get one...well prices never went down lol...these days you can get 5.4 gt500s for what cobras go for and the gt500 fits what im trying to do better plus like i said i wanna try a different platform ive owned a new edge and multiple sns and ill always love em and i still may get a terminator one day but i want suburb shape and low miles and they are 25-30k in many cases i understand why but at the same time i cant help but think i can get a gt500 for that (older gt500 aka svt cobra lol). Love both cars maybe someday ill get a chance to own a terminator too
Karl Hopkins i think ultimately I’d regret it seeing as they aren’t seen a whole lot. I remember being with my old man as a teen and say the 03/04 Mach 1s. Then we went into a Ford dealer and i saw both the Mach and Cobras. I always said i wanted one of each as i get older. I owned a 04 Azure Blue Mach 1 and modified the suspension with Maximum Motorsports. Then my buddy sold me 03 Cobra and loved having them both. When i found out i was going to be a father i sold my Mach 1. I finished paying off my Cobra and just wonder if i can ever see myself in a GT500. Absolutely stunning car but i just can’t see myself selling my Cobra. I remember seeing the movie Gone in 60 Seconds wondering if they’d release one i can afford one day seeing as the 67 Shelby is out of my price range. Years later sure enough here go to the 13/14 as my favorites and just wonder lol.
Sweet. But, honestly everyone has racestars or sve wheels that are similar but what would look alot better on the Shelby would be the Forgestar F14 Drag Pack Matte Black Wheels.
I definitely want a killer looking drag setup. But right now I’m not going to spend a lot of money on a drag setup when I piece together something that works for much less. Especially with the built engine coming soon that bill is pretty expensive lol
The rear brakes will actually be getting a downgrade for 15” wheels. The front does most of the work anyways with the 6 piston brembos. I can’t go bigger because of the intended purpose of the car: drag racing
Thats about the same price it is here in virginia sometimes its below 2 bucks. And it is super good quality ive tested it at 90% ethanol several different times its always very good worst ive seen it was 85% during winter.
@@alexischavez7953 it is very nice unfortunately there is just 2 stations within 50-100 miles or more in any direction and both are between 30-40 miles away but both stations are very good quality like that both are sheetz stores
Jiff Conman the rear does have stock brakes. They have very large rotors but still used a normal caliper. I am actually going to be downgrading the rear brakes to fit 15s.
Ed Thomas that old guy is me lol I own the procharged beast that we will be bringing more content to the channel. I own the gt350 that will be boosted soon.
I’m thinking about start UA-cam with my 03 mustang gt that look like a cobra with a pro charger should I start it
Awesome Video like usual man!!! If you get a minute, come check out our s550 mustang and subscribe to our page!!! Keep the videos coming!

He Took What I Said And Last Video In Consideration...😂😂
First
I'm wondering do you have a Flex fuel sensor installed in this car?
You would be running on a mixed fuel load when you filled up for the first time???
It does not have a flex fuel sensor
No it doesnt matter if its a little off if youre not out beating on it.
Pretty cool to see the car was at Jordan Ford in San Antonio, I live just south of there.
Yeah pretty funny.

That thing would look good on Welds. Check out ThatGuyMarin’s Shelby.
Wait how are you not shifting in the beginning of the video? You recording with one hand while the other is on the steering wheel?
I have three hands 😂
@@MustangLifestyleTV lol
Mustang Lifestyle oh yeah well I’ve got three legs 🤷🏻♂️😂😂😂
@@brycea0225 😂💀
Please tell me you tested the quality of the "E85" that you put in there before you actually filled up?
ngnichols I was just about to say the same thing
ngnichols
lol i think ashely pumps there so i think hes good
Was thinking e85 on my 07 as I'm about to do gen 3r what do yall mean test the quality or should I just go with vp c16
Still 1000cc injectors??
Yup
I have an 03 Cobra and just can’t see myself letting her go for a GT500. Yes, absolutely beautiful car but something about a Terminator will always have my heart. Thoughts on why or why not i should make the switch sometime in the future ?
I personally would never trade a cobra or sell it for anything. Don't do it man, you'll regret it.

I know you always get teased about working on your cars!! Great job!!
What a company should do is make a software tune for the active ride shocks to work for the drag strip
Are you ever gonna show some quartermile runs at the track? Or more of the same LAME roll racing!!! Ugggh. Come on man enough bs filler!!!!!!!
Have you watched the videos... preparing the car with the right suspension rather than going out on all stock parts...
Sweet. But, honestly everyone has racestars or sve wheels that are similar but what would look alot better on the Shelby would be the Forgestar F14 Drag Pack Matte Black Wheels.
I definitely want a killer looking drag setup. But right now I’m not going to spend a lot of money on a drag setup when I piece together something that works for much less. Especially with the built engine coming soon that bill is pretty expensive lol
Your on 24 psi ???? On a 2.6 stock blower ??? How much power are you making ?!!!
There is a recent dyno video posted if you want to check it out. It made 828
Good looking car. Cant wait to see it perform on this setup
Did you decide on the viking shocks on your own or did bmr recommend that you run them with the bmr equipment?
Bmr suggested it but I have used Viking in the past with the bullitt with great success
Sound tube mod is so cheesy sounding 😂
Notification squad
You're running the FIC1000s right?
Yup
Take it and see what it will do in the 1/4 mile
When are you going to upgrade the brake system?
The car looks and sounds amazing but you already know that!!
The rear brakes will actually be getting a downgrade for 15” wheels. The front does most of the work anyways with the 6 piston brembos. I can’t go bigger because of the intended purpose of the car: drag racing
Mustang Lifestyle dam right I can’t wait to see this car hurting every bodies feelings and take their money.
Next dyno pull's should be a great video
😀
Literally the only e85 pump in the area 😂😂 e85 life
Can’t wait keep them coming 👍❤️🤩😎
Hook it up Hook it up i say LOL
And yes love the shelby!
The best shocks Money can buy
2013 owner
Yup!
Great video. Can’t wait to see the numbers!!
How do you like the JMS drag wheels on the s550? I have the street avengers and I haven't used them yet. I would like to know you're opinion on them.
They get the job done. Obviously not the most flashiest of drag wheels
@@MustangLifestyleTV how is the fitment? I think mine only came in a +44 offset.
They fit very wheel
@@MustangLifestyleTV thanks
What’s up with the fox at 10:45
Can't wait for hard pulls on the corn. I just went e85 yesterday and I love it.
E85 is magical
Yes it is, bit it's getting super cold here tonite so I'm burning the rest of it out so I switch back to 93 for a bit. Lol
Damn only $2.10 for E85. Its $3.29 over here in California for our E85
Thats about the same price it is here in virginia sometimes its below 2 bucks. And it is super good quality ive tested it at 90% ethanol several different times its always very good worst ive seen it was 85% during winter.

Damn that’s nice! I wish it was like that over here
@@alexischavez7953 it is very nice unfortunately there is just 2 stations within 50-100 miles or more in any direction and both are between 30-40 miles away but both stations are very good quality like that both are sheetz stores
Michael Harris nice man, just gotta take extra jugs with you when you go huh. Luckily we have quite a bit of them over here that’s the only plus
Yo Andrew please get better breaks your killing me with them stock breaks.
It has 6 piston brembos... best stock brakes out there
@@MustangLifestyleTV i promise i ant hating but them rear look like my stock breaks.
Jiff Conman the rear does have stock brakes. They have very large rotors but still used a normal caliper. I am actually going to be downgrading the rear brakes to fit 15s.

I am loving it

Andrew what is your wheel and tire setup?

Ed Thomas Just a car guy and I’m Andrews personal bodyguard 👍🏼
Do you have any spare parts for 2000 GT
I have a bunch of random parts but nothing really performance based just spare stock parts
No... Dinosaurs are extinct.
@@MustangLifestyleTV do you happen to have a 5 speed and some good leather seats
Yooo I used to work at Jordan Ford lol what year was this ?
2019..
hoss moss I meant like what year was the Jordan ford ticket from I would’ve noticed this car pull up if it was there in 2019 lol
It didn’t have a year on the ticket for some reason
Probably 2013
Mustang Lifestyle did it have a service advisor name or something on it lol, that’s crazy it was there at one point small world it’s in San Antonio TX
First
I doubt the active shocks in the front will work. Might actually upset the cars handling
Love the channel and the Shelby,
Andrew, have you thought about doing aftermarket headlights and fogs?
I have thought about changing the fogs but I don’t really want to change the headlights
