- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- On this episode of Ignition, Carlos Lago tests the most powerful production car made in America - the new 2013 Ford Shelby GT500. After running the GT500 through Motor Trend's instrumented testing gauntlet, including top speed pulls on the dyno, we head to Kingman, Arizona, where pro racer Randy Pobst gets behind the wheel to see if Ford's 662-HP beast can break the elusive 200 mph barrier.
Ignition appears every Monday on the new Motor Trend channel.

I sometimes come back to video just to get motivation to keep pushing forward so I could one day afford this masterpiece

2020 and still the 2013 is the greatest Shelby ever in my opinion.the 2020 👌
Beautiful looking car and a end of a era with the old styling!!!
In my opinion they should have put the trinity in the 2020 gt 500.
Brute power from the 5.8 this car is well over 200 mph at a lower sea level. 215 220. Very impressive for a pony car
Best cars since the 60's
@@jeffschwartz5199 Ford won the pony wars. and again in 2025.
Hands down the sexiest front end of any car ever created. It is just that simple.
This is best the mustang body ever 2013-2014
That is one SEXY damn front end, but def not the best front end of any car ever made...
+cxbra it's his opinion idiot.
LordFridge1 i bought mine in 13, was actually going to go buy a camaro when i swung by the ford, saw the new design, jaw dropped on the ground, a week later, it was mine :D
eh, the front end of the 11-12 looks more intimidating, but I do like the ass of the 13-14 better. Mostly for the tail lights.
Normally, I am a GM guy, but I will without a doubt give it to Ford on this one. Just simply an amazing and beautiful car. Good job Ford.
I'm ther same way, I love ther ZR-1 up until 2013. Bit I'd take this anyday over it.
Ford guy turned chevy but this is more than a ford... it's a gt500 and a peice of automotive history
200 mph at around $50,000 unbelievable
And simple and beautiful....
This is why Ford didn't need a bail out!
David Horgan
Ford didn't need a bailout because of a specialized Mustang? No. Ford didn't need a bailout because they sold Jaguar and Land Rover for an insane amount of money just before the automotive collapse. They were hurting in terms of sales every bit as badly as GM.
Jon B actually around 65k when it came out maybe a little more
Donald Trump Leave it to Donald Trump to try to downgrade the role and importance of an American product.
LMFAOO SO MUCH HATERS! People hating cause its such a amazing machine. Idk why ya comparing it to corvettes or other most expensive cars lol . Just accept that ford made a wonderful machine.
It really is a beautiful creation.
Well Shelby too
There just jealous that there company’s don’t have a car that goes 200 at 50 grand
I'm a camaro guy, but I gotta give my respect to the Mustang, great car.
I can't believe this Beast is 10 years old ,
I can't believe this video is 10 years old
Where has the time gone...
I found a 2012 Shelby GT500 for 34K, I'm definitely going to trade in my 2016 Challenger RT for this. You cannot beat that price for all of that power, that's nuts.
the 2012 GT500 is a 5.4 it makes about 540 HP not the 662HP of 2013/2014 GT500
good job Mike enjoy Shelbys are a blast!!
I got my 2010 gt500 for 29k
Yes a fiat guy coming to the right side of the fence
Miguel Sanchez
I got rid of my challenger rt and bought a 2012 GT500.
Let that last line sink in...
"That's only something you can get in America."
America.
Oh yeah.

In 30 yrs, they will be writing about the 2010's HP wars
In a Galaxy not too far away... :)
Just like the 60's, uh?
Oh boy and it only got better
Love to see it. The 2020 GT500 got a 100hp boost lol
its their last push before electric🥲
hell cat does 0 to 60 in 3.7 sec and 1/4 mile 11.7 sec 125.4 MPH
Shelby does 0 to 60 in 3.5 sec and 1.4 mile 11.6 sec 127.7MPH
so still the Shelby better
the hellcats 1/4 is 11.2.....and either way, you're comparing 2 completely different cars. the challenger is meant to be a grand tourer. while the shelby is strictly meant for speed. in the hellcat you could take a road trip and be fine.
yeah you are right
the shelby gt350 was just announced. go check that baby out!
Lincolnlsgt im just curious did that helcat have slicks, or stock tires. I didnt hear them say the shelby had slicks on, so if the hellcat did have slicks and this didnt the race would be way closer right?
BigDunker345 it is 11.2 on stock tires and 10.8 on radials.
Must.....not.....sell.....kidney......
Lmao!!!!!!
😂😂😂
🤣
I hate that I love this car 😆. I'm a Camaro guy through and through but can't say I don't admire this GT500! Love the color! Of course everything else!
That V8 rumble is so intoxicating.
This is one of the best looking cars ever made. End of.
This comment aged very well. 😏
Totally agree
54,000 dollars and no luxury tax? Not bad.
no gas guzzler tax!
.........buy a 13' gt for 32k and add a supercharger yourself for around 6k.
The GT500 isn't impressive anymore. S550's with FI and stock motors and stock fuel systems are destroying it.
Fact Check. Not True
lol. OK. Fact check, totally true. My Whipple'd S550 (stock motor and stock fuel system on pump gas) completely destroys GT500's.
Jeez, who cares if it can get to 200? Just listen to the exhaust note. it's a beast.
+Grieving Sage Hellcat sound better, the GT350s sound good so does the new Z06.
JerseyMikeP Agreed.
Grieving Sage
They said it was a 100° out. HEATSOAK. That intake was taking in hot air
Grieving Sage +my '63 impala lowrider with dual smittys sounds exactly like that !
Nah what's crazy about this video is that in 3rd grade I used to watch this video religiously, as a form of motivation, I couldn't do much obviously but the GT500 was my dream car back in the day, and you know what, now as I'm entering college and as much of a JDM fanboy I am, I still consider this car a dream car of mine. It's kinda funny because I've come back to this video after years and back then I knew nothing about cars, I had no clue what was being said in the video and now rewatching I pretty much understand almost everything being said in this video shows how much I've progressed lol
1:23 Best sounding muscle car ever confirmed.
MrGamerBoy not a muscle car. not a muscle car though.
@@ahmednabil9914 a big v8 and a stick rear axle. What more do you want?
S197 is my favorite gen. My top 3 are as follows:

1. 14 GT 500
***All MANUAL***
The original, the badass 4.6 and finally the goku - the 2014 gt500 5.8L Trinity motor ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm not into american muscle cars but this is a monster. I was behind and in front of a Shelby mustang last week holy cow it sounded mean. Made my m3 v8 sound dinky and the evo behind me just look like crap lol
Harely Morenstein Are you trying to say GT500s aren't reliable?
E90. M3 #86 I like when car guys can give props to machinery that doesn't fit your taste
For all you haters. 4th place in the worlds greatest drag race 2013. The best part it was realing in the leaders.
It was definitely reeling in the GT-R. Trap speeds for the Shelby were higher at the end of the race. I'd say give it another quarter mile and the Shelby would been at least third:)
cobramanphil On top of that the Shelby is half the price. I love mustangs. Such fun cars.
My lil cousin asked my what is this.I anwsered him:"This is every vette nightmare"
Yeah a 2016 z06 would be scared of this 😂 yeah right
+Cristopher Orellana Well, the standing quarter mile for the Z06 is 11.4 seconds, while in the video they got 11.6 seconds for the Shelby....for a bigger, older car, it's impressively close to matching the Z06 in performance.'
The top speeds are also fairly similar, so I'd say the Vette has some snakes biting on it's tail :P
+Cristopher Orellana there is a such thing as a 2016 Shelby GT350R... This is a 2013 or 14
Aj wood Isn't the GT500 faster though? The GT350r is just a better track car right?
+Caleb Hu yeah
Every couple years I end up on this video again. Not complaining
MURICA
DAMN 200MPH FOR UNDER 60K
MUSTANG IS AWESOME
2024 ANYONE?
Yep!
Yep and they are rocking over $70K (especially for “Grabber Blue”)
Yes Sir
Yessir , looking at vids of one of my dream cars
@@TheVilouboy still worth it brother this one looks proper American cause Carrol Shelby himself was involved in its production shortly before his death
I was in the area surrounding the proving grounds during filming. We could hear that beast ripping through the atmosphere. What a hauntingly beautiful sound to behold! Would love to hear the new Shelby GT350 run wide open around the track. I imagine it would be even better sounding.
This right now is the golden age of the muscle car...Enjoy it these kinda things don't last.
Bob Ross i won't say the golden age when muscle cars are turning into sporty coupes
Bob Ross Well here we are 5 years later with the Dodge Demon
Br Mo demon had about 840 hp so still
8 years into the future, it got a whole lot better lol
still faster and better in everyday than the hellcat
They literally just proved that its not
Rory Gonzalez not that high above sea level first off they said that just wait for the gt350
Kubeanie Gaming fast forward 5 years this car is still as great as a 2020 hellcat
Hands down one of the best ignition episodes of all time!
Best muscle car in the world
+Damien Bell Hellcat Charger is faster, GT500 is quicker before. 130mph after that the Charger pulls away...gets to 150mph in 15.8sec. vs the GT500 in 17.6 seconds.

Correction best pony car
WORST BY FAR
JerseyMikeP charger is heavier then the challenger facts i think you confuse your self.
@@mariahuerta2745
He did it on purpose. The Charger has better aerodynamics than the Challenger and doesn't struggle to hit 200, unlike the Challenger, while still having almost equally great acceleration numbers
Good times watching this in my Oregon cabin when I went up there to pick cherries with my dad. Good, sweet, simpler times. I miss it so much.
ONE OF THE BEST REVIEW OF THE 2013 SHELBY GT 500!!
But the Shelby is VERY impressive and badass. American over import anyday
Just wondering, have you ever drove an import? :)
the thing with imports is that you can do crazy mods such as the wrx😍
I have a love for both American and Import. I would choose a mustang over most cars but I have deep respect for the imports too. Ha I currently own a r53 mini. While it's not the fastest thing with a few mods these r track beasts. So honestly any car that's fun I'll dig it. But my dream custom car would be 69 fastback with 7-800 hp and widebodied and green and black. But all my friends have imports and if uve never driven one ur really missing out they r awesome.
My STI puts 470 to the ground and will run close to this in the 1/4 and that's out of a 2.5 flat 4, but that v8 sound is hard to top.
Revengeful Lobster
not hating, but you left out the fact that the 2.5 flat 4 is rebuilt internally engine and turbo. If you rebuilt the 5.8 and supercharger you would get like 1000 to the wheel too for like the same price it would cost to build a Subaru engine and turbo.
Finally we got a powerful supercar which we can actually play with on roads,unlike other sensitive supercars!!🤘
My dad has a 2014 Shelby gt500 if you thinking about buying one do it it's a amazing car
Wow 590 hp at rear wheels! I think Ford underrated their specs- this is probably a 700hp engine!
its funny that its faster than the hellcat and it's 2 years old
+Levvy actually its 3 years old. released in 2012 as a 2013 model
Kyle Justin thats even more reason to brag on it
Levvy yep, GT500 is the reason why the ZL1 and Hellcats exist.
Kyle Justin truth.
Have you checked the difference of the weight. It's not even comparable due to the fact that GT500 is more of a pony car rather than a muscle car like CAmaro and challenger
owned a terminator, sold that for a 2013 5.0, now I'm going to pick up a 2013 gt500, I have too lol.
If you don't drive it maybe, garaged cars make me cringe, gotta daily that thing.
Michael Felix
I drive a 2013 Ford Mustang GT Premium Manual with Brembos and the California spoiler, side louvers, and scoops, Roush axlebacks and K&N intake with a 93 octane tune, Ford Performance shifter and bracket. I would daily anything I love. I'd rather enjoy every day of driving something awesome that I love and have many more hours of enjoyment than stash something so I can preserve it's value, why buy a car you want to love if your only going to stash it in a garage so you can sell it. I've got two sets of Brembo wheels for my Mustang, one set has Michelin Pilot Super Sports, the other set has Michelin X-ice X3 winter tires, because I daily drive through New England winters too. The car is awesome even in 6 inches of snow.
I wax the car multiple times a years and do certain things to help preserve it like I installed an xpel headlight and fog light protection film. After 10 years just get the front bumper and hood repainted to match. I did this with my 1994 Cobra I had for 13 years.
Michael Felix
Yah the 94 Cobra got traded in for $9000 with 97k miles wish I could afford to have kept it, but it was time to upgrade, the 13-14 is everything I wanted a Mustang to be, I love the live axle Mustangs. To me it's more of a muscle car. Always wanted to put a tremec 6 speed and build the 5.0 windsor to 400hp but it would have costed so much money, upgrading was better to me, the 13 has better suspension, tech, paint etc, lol and the clutch doesn't make one leg stronger than the other ha ha ha I got the 13 for $27k with 24k miles on it, already had all the mods I listed and more, car was 100% exactly every option I would have picked if it was new. But yah imo life's too short to worry about dirt on a car, gotta live it up!
THE MUSTANG IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND POWERFUL. THIS NEEDS TO BE MY FIRST CAR. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS!
Such an amazing car beautifully designed
196.6 is 3.4 mph short of 200 mph. Not 4. At the salt flats in winter it would top 200 by 2-3 mph....easy.
yup
It was 196.06.
By comparison, the new Z06 would have overheated and blown its guts out all over the track. Just saying.
I remember watching this right before I turned 16. Now it's time to buy one.
I would take a mustang over anything
This generation style is gonna be a classic years from now!!!!!
WOW that engine sound though! It's freaking amazin! I got goosebumps!
The fact that this car is 9/8 years old still making a statement up to this day Shelby would be proud 💯🥺🐍🚗.
8:30 madmax
I have the same shelby. Only 467 produced in that color for 2013 and only 380 were coupes.
One day... I either want a classical shelby or this beauty in light blue with white racing stripes 😱😱😱😱
My real name is shelby
+Tom Edwardes Well, I entered a lottery for both together! Would be awesome if I won. Y'know, Jeff Dunham has two Challengers, the classic and the new. They match beautifully.
jalopnik.com/noted-dummy-enthusiast-jeff-dunham-has-a-matching-set-o-1685690611
+Tom Edwardes I have a Light blue Shelby with black racing strips :D (sorry if i reply to old comments :P)
Royal blue white leather stripes down the middle on dubs
This is the sexiest car ever made not just by ford but it beats Chevy by a long shot
Anybody hear After the release of the 2020 GT500? WE MUST GO BACK
The Piano ! This is faster then the 2020
weird to look back only 4 years ago, and now we have 2 hellcats with over 700 hp. what a great time to be int cars!!!
Mitchell Hallmark and we also have the the mustang2018 shelby 1000 hp. Fuck hellkitties
What a noise under load. Pure awesome.
Just purchased a 2014....def a beast!
I like this gt500 better then the new one
When American cars were true muscle cars, and MotorTrend was all about the car stuff
no crowds were killed in the making of this video
that's how this iconic v-8 should sound. That throaty rumble with the supercharger howling away behind it.
This is no match for a Honda Civic with an oversized muffler and a huge tail mounted on the back of it.
jan baer hahahaha, i have seen some crazy modded sleeper civics. V techs have potential
jb . and stickers lots of stickers
I'll take 2.
I’d love to see a video of that guy driving the 2020 Shelby. Or the 2019 since it came in a manual
Had a 2011 GT500, however the one to have is a 2013/2014. Love this car. End of an era. Beautiful design.
Lets' make America great again
LaSainteParole shut up
LaSainteParole STFU B*TCH
LaSainteParole yes
I think you've triggered someone lmao
Let's make great again
still looks better than the 2020 gt500
A car with a ported stock blower and a tune running on E-85 did 203mph
Something about this video always brings me back. Proud to have this car in my garage.
Got my 13 :)
Wow, I really have to say this. I love the Camaro ZL1 but the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 blow me away. Guess I'm going to buy a GT500 then. Sorry ZL1..
UPDATE: Today a 2015 Challenger Hellcat Test was posted by Motor Trend ...............I wonder why a apples to apples comparison wasn't done or mentioned ?? K&N Dyno wasn't used and no mention of the 11.7 second 1/4 mile times versus the Dodge Commercial NHRA certified times. I know it was different track conditions , drivers , track etc ..................but i still see a huge difference between 11.2sec. vs 11.7 sec.
Matt Thompson I completely Agree .
Matt ... Agreed . The C-6 Corvette Z06 with 505 hp ran consistent 11.7 sec 1/4 mile times and it's lack of weight and gearing contribute to that ability. With 4400 + lbs and 700 + hp i didn't see a HELLCAT Challenger running Corvette ZR1 , Dodge SRT Viper , Nissan GT-R times . But i concur with your thought process.
The 11.2 was on a fully prepped drag stripe with a professional driver.
They also used TWICE as much prep spray to make the surface sticky as fuck.
One thing you morons aren't realizing is that yes motortrend got an 11.7. Most amazing part is they started in 2nd gear. To run a 11.7 while taking off in second gear is beyond amazing. it's not that it can't do better then 11.7, it's just hard to get traction. If the car came with better tires, it would help big time. Show me any other car that takes off in second gear and runs an 11 second qtr! Dodge messed up by giving the hellcat such crappy skinny tires. They gave it the regular pirelli which are garbage. They should have at least put the corsas on it. It would make at huge difference
Mr ChaosTech the fastest all stock 2013 2014 gt500 1/4 time was 11.4
I still come back qnd watch this video I still stay in awe everytime because of this the hellcat wqs born
Top is irrelevant.
99% of owners will never max out a 200mph car.
Jay Lenno always says the fun is 0-140mph.
Emilian Cailean too speed is still just a number that 99% of owners will never hit.
0-140 is where the fun happens.
anndd how many miles above sea level where they? ^
gargilbert not that high.
It hit 198 and ford only hit 202 in their tests.
wow lol
cool car... but those brakes are waaaaaay undersized for that car.
no they aren't, back brakes are only dealing with small procentage of breaking and size doesn't really define breaking power. maybe you think they are small becouse german automakers started this trend off big brakes all around and the reason is it looks better but that doesn't make the brakes any better. I'm 100% sure that these brakes are great and sufficient.
I disagree. Smaller brakes means less surface area for pad/rotor contact. That means less friction which means less stopping power. If what you say were true the F1 race cars would have the same size brakes as a Ford Taurus. We both know that's not true. It's got nothing to do with looks. There is a direct correlation between brake surface area and stopping power.
There small in the rear because that is all that is needed. Same situation on dirt bikes, Huge disc brakes on the front, and small ones on the back and yet you still have tons of braking power in the back to lock the tire up
Not at 100+ mph you don't. That's not enough brake for that kind of speed.
These brakes are definetely NOT undersized, unless you THINK you are an Automotive Engineer. And even if you want to upgrade, American Muscle now has Carbon Ceramic front and rear brakes for 13-14 GT500s (384820 front for $78.90, 384206 rear for $51.82).
Still faster than the 2020
i really loved this segment production, BGM and the way it is, like quiet, calm but informative and entertaining .
Fastest Muscle Car stock
Actually no, the hellcat charger top speed is 204 while the hellcat challenger is 199
You're also forgeting the Roush, Machs', Boss, and Cobra Jet Mustangs. The Challengers and Chargers are genuinely heavier as well.
Brandon Bellairs But they are factory and don't require any aftermarket tuners or costs.
James Wallen actually it does lol hellcat comes with supercharger! doesn't matter what was done to it ford still warrenties everything Shelby does and Shelby is American so does it really matter?
Nathan Smith actually on this track the hell cat got 194 with cooler temps. The 204 was on a different track. So the GT500 put up a higher top speed in hotter conditions
Really wishing the GT on my car was followed by 500. Ide settle for a GT350R ;-)
Missed 200mph because of the thinner air and that’s all. When you only get 6 more mph on straightaway it was gasping for air. 😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 #Mustang
When that thing went full throttle on the dino my blood ran cold. What a monster
attractive car with low price ❤💪💑💏👪
TheCoolfdb babe 50K is low?
automan224 atleast it is affordable sports car...
TheCoolfdb babe 60k is not cheap for you idiot
60k is cheap for 196.0 mph and 662 hp idiot.
I WANT 100,000 subscribers 70K is not low
Should have used the super snake for 200 mph
200 mph was NEVER the goal for this car. Ford built the PRODUCTION car. After it was built, wondered how fast it would go? It's just that simple. The Super Snake was never a production car. It's an aftermarket specialty car, like many others.
I know but they wanted to go 200 mph so I think it would have been better if they used the super snake
WHO said they wanted to go 200 mph? They ONLY wanted to know how fast the car they had already built would go!
my cobra! Isn't the main goal to reach 200 mph in this video
The normal Shelby GT500 can reach 200 mph no problem. If you want more, go for the Super Snake.
alot better than the CRAPMARO from Garbage Motors.
Government Motors
Alex Martino
Gigantic Mistake.
drfaticus F-gm im a gm guy but im getting a gt500 for my first car in a week and i cant stand ford
nick rappa
when you drive that car,you will see why the GT500 is king.
***** That is correct.
I started out buying this car. Ended up buying a corvette instead. They are totally two different cars. Saying that, i still want a Shelby :-). Huge respect for the man who's name is on this beast.
Standard Atmosphere = 29.92" (1013.3 mb) Barometric pressure, Sea Level, 59 F (15 C)2000' above sea level = 27.90" @ 100 F (38 C) the actual air density = 5082' above sea level, A normally aspirated engine would be down over 100 HP under those conditions. Supercharged would be down less.wahiduddin.net/calc/calc_da.htm
oh dang so that car can go a lot faster then
thats a badass ride but damnnnnn it needs some coil overs. P.S. that old guy is a fuckin bro
i love that GT500 :)
This is my dream car. Who wants a corvette, a charger, challenger, or camaro, when you have this beautiful beast?
Daniel Valerio haters do
one day Ur gonna be mine 😊
Jundave Jundave preach. Brother
Anyone here after the 2020 shelby gt500???
yes. if this gt500 was hitting 60 in 3.5 seconds, what did the 2020 really improve?
@@jattz4lyfe 13/14 cars are doing the same 0 to 60...lol
This car is about as aerodynamic as a brick, and can knock out 200mph, yet folks want to talk about the European cars and how good they are (some are good), yet they cost three times as much, and are only marginally faster. So are you going to pay 180k plus just for a name and a car that can turn or save that money, get a Shelby and a good down payment on a house? Fastest way between two points is a straight line, so I'm going to leave my new house in my new Shelby and tear up some asphalt
***** the germans might disagree with that.
***** Never perfected a vehicle? Are you on crack? Ford GT, Corvette C7, Shelby Cobra, those are just the popular ones (you do know that Germans are capable of making crap too right? It is rare, but it does happen).
***** It had overheating problems in a fucking race that was 24 hours long, I have never heard of the C7 sliding out that is just plain bullshit, and the Cobra is from the 1960s so excuse the primitive breaks and lack of safety (every goddamn car in that decade lacked safety). American cars are made for American roads, so that means that they are not perfected because they are not as good on European roads? Your facts and your logic are both flawed, stop arguing and stop hating. You act as if every European car ever made has been handcrafted by God himself.
***** I'm not even American you stupid fucking idiot XD. Judging from your comment, it looks like you seem to be a Brit who thinks that YOU are superior to the world (or at least America). Stop replying please, you just used an insult to try to make a point and your "facts" are all stained with biased opinions.
and just to note the funniest part is is that this video is the shortest video on Motor Trend that I have ever seen all Motor Trend videos or at least 25 minutes to 30 minutes per video and this one was cut way down 13 minutes for such a great cause and more the talk about especially on and FORD'S GT500 SHELBY COBRA!!!!!!
the GT500 shits all over the CRAPMARO from Government Motors.
hmmm maybe but doesn't beat the zr1 vettes whos been in the 200 mph club since 1996
andy schwabie
its not a maybe its true.the GT500 out does the zl1.now we people that know about cars know,that the vette and mustang are in two different classes.dont you know its MUSTANG vs camaro vs challenger?when the FORD GT was out,it killed the vette,and it is worth more today than a new zr1 vette.
drfaticus F-gm Not surprised to see F-gm in your username. The only place a GT500 is faster than a ZL1 is in a straight line. Camaro's faster everywhere else. Better brakes, and way better suspension.
5571350M8 Actually the GT500 posted better lap times around Laguna Seca as well as the Nordschleife. The S197 handling characteristics are more balanced than the 5th gens. As for brakes, nobody road races on the stock brake setup unless we're talking about factory carbon ceramics here. Stock brakes are good to prove the vehicle can perform a certain lap time, but they do fade. They're not race brakes, they're designed to be reliable without being warmed up first. Racing brake pad compounds work best under high heat, which isn't exactly optimal for a panic brake on public roads.
Somebody having to explain this to you shows your ignorance, and the fact is, the only reason the ZL1 shows less brake fade is because it's so much slower entering the braking zones in the first place.
2013FiveOh My point was that its stock brakes are better. And as far as the Ring time goes, nothing official has been released, so I'd say that's probably out of shame. Your last sentence? Sure.
Now the engine. The desleeved 5.4L with iron nanocoating. Ford couldn't even do it themselves, and I'd say it's failed technology. Benz proved this in the 80's. It's just problematic, and if a GT500 owner damages even one cylinder? Time for a new engine.
this is why I love mustangs ..... cheap, fast, drivable, collectable, durable , fun , great power , design , customizability , beautiful , amazing road trip car , stunning , ....... wish I had money and wish I could have the *Grabby Hands* I want to get one ....... I would buy a nice gt500 .... Shelby ..... or gt350 ..... in a heart beat ......*Grabby Hands* so much *Grabby Hands* ( and I say there cheap due to them being $60,000 or less ) amazing price for such a stunning car *Looks and dreams in ahhhhh* .......... :P
Durable?
MT fried the brakes in 2 minutes.
Sanic
2 minutes?????????????
Lol....
Stop exaggerating
You are talking like a kid
vicente barajas 2min and 35 seconds actually.
they even faded after 1 hard stop in the 60-0 testing.
If only dreams came true i would be happy
alot better than the CRAPMARO from Garbage Motors.
Why? both are more or less the same car. they are both ridiculously fast muscle cars. If you hate one of them and love the other, you are just a fanboy and not at all a car enthusiast.
Vince vd Arend no that just means your not loyal to your product!
Vince vd Arend Ford did not murder its customers to save a dollar. That is why GM sucks butt.
Naked Acres that happens to loads of companies that are still around today, get over it!
Funny u say this cuz the zl1 did get to 202mph...
Best mustang ever made AND the last SVT engineered car. Big big big money future classic.
The terrible, terrible things I would do to have this car.
7 years later, mid engine Corvettes.
The think is, a Mustang is even cheaper than a Golf, or some other shity made german car. :D
I've just watched this video for the second time and let me tell you, it was even better than the first time!!!! Awesome job!!! Long live MT!
