    The GT500 Recaro upgrade seat option solves the seating concerns you mention. Your repair concerns have never been an issue. In 11 years and 11,000 miles, I have had zero reliability issues with my 2013 GT500. Plenty of 3rd party interior upgrades are available. I run 335/30/20 tires on the back which helps with some of the traction issues. The stock sound is amazing. The intake has a muffler design which removes the normal supercharge wine. It's the best car regardless of the price I have ever owned. For less than $60k new it's the most fun you can own.

      Yeah I agree with you on the repair concern. I own my 13 GT500 since 2015 and it's full bolt ons and I beat the crap out it of everytime I drive it and I've never had an issue other than the intercooler pump wiring which is typical on these cars, i fixed it by removing the wires from the connector on the filter housing and installing a new standalone connector from the original harness. And cooling issue? What cooling issue? Lol

    3 years ago I was finally able to buy the 2014 GT500 Track-Pack that I wanted for years and while it has more HP than the OEM Tires can deal with (bigger and better is a must) the Track-Pack is one of the better handling cars I've driven, BUT you hit the nail on the head when you said "it will kill you" as this is a "driver's car". That "rawness" and 6-Speed TR6060 is what makes it so fun to drive 💪😎 and if y'all buy one, opt for the Recaro Seats, upgrade the Shifter to an MGW Gen2 and find a good custom Tuner 🍻

    I have owned a handful of Shelby's of this era of mustang. The 07-14 gt500 left room on the table for Shelby American to improve and build their super snake package/Shelby 1000 package. I had the privilege to own a 2013 gt500 super snake and that car is an absolute riot. The super snakes now are built off of the mustang gt with the 5.0 which aren't quite as special as the 07-14 gt500 super snakes. Yes they are still great cars, but its just something about the body style of the s197 platform and the grunt from the 5.4/5.8. Not too mention the 5.4/5.8 just sound better than the 5.0. The new gt500 is already a good platform that Shelby can't change much to make them much better for the price tag that the super snake package costs. The KR is a sweet car but it makes sense why it was very limited production. You will not be disappointed with the 13-14 gt500 if you decide to go this route. Find one with recaro seats, glass roof, shaker 1000 audio system and call it a day. They are very reliable and a lot of companies make parts for the car to improve such as brakes, cooling, shifters, etc... These cars for the time period could be had from 50k-70k and would run with European exotics. Shelby always tried to build cars for the blue collar people.

    Great enthusiasm guys on this episode, however you need to do more research before you do something like this. You talked a lot about how the 2014 GT500 is nothing but a one-trick pony however if you would have looked just simply on Google you would realize that even though this car had a straight axle, it actually outperformed lateral G's compared to the almighty track God the Corvette for the same year. Also there are multiple videos that were done by Ford Racing talking about all of the amazing technology and airflow that was put into this vehicle in order to achieve over 200 mph off the showroom floor. Going back to talking about handling with this vehicle, you should both understand that achieving 1.14 G's laterally with a vehicle that has a live stick axle is truly incredible. It is also amazing that I believe you two did not mention the fact that this car actually had launch control as a stick shift vehicle. That was a major first. One last thing that I feel that should be noted with the 13 - 14 GT500 is the fact that the interior, including the dash and center console etc, had remarkably low NVH. ( with exception to the rearview mirror.. common known issue that you could fix easily if you knew what to do) Other sports cars built in 13-14 were still squeaky, rattled, dash made noise over bumps.. The 14 GT500 I had was incredibly quiet as far as interior noise.

    Ford did think about brake cooling. Remember the '08/'09 KR? I don't know about the '13/'14, but the '10 = '12 has the ports for the optional front brake cooling kit from the KR. You just have to drill out the holes in the ports, and the kit is plug-n-play from there. All the mount points are built-in. That's a little known and mostly forgotten feature of those GT500s.

  • @marksladoje8299
    @marksladoje8299 9 днів тому

    The "Crowd Killer" moniker is more likely due to the inexperience of its operators as well as the failure to recognize that cold super performance tires and pavement aren't a winning combination. The 13/14 GT500 is basically what the 69/70 Boss 429 was back in the muscle car heyday. This unit appears to be still for sale and seems to be well priced. Borla mufflers, pulley mods and an upgraded intercooler are a couple things I noticed as well as Nitto rubber with decent tread. I got one new in 2012 and still have it. I have only two things that bug me. The brakes simply underperform. The GT350R has overwhelming stopping power, and this could use some of it. Second, it's so powerful that unless you are mentally conditioned to respect its capabilities, bad things will happen. Very bad things. On the plus side, Carbon fiber driveshaft, 631 lbs. of torque at 4000 RPM and NO GAS GUZZLER TAX are the stuff dreams are made of. 100 MPH while turning only 2000 RPM, are you kidding me? I've done only a couple mods as I like to keep things as stock as possible. Factory rear seat delete (just like the Boss LS) and a set of Ford Racing mufflers. If I was looking for a car I was going to actually drive on a regular basis the 11/12 are more "Docile and Controllable" yet boast a 550 HP all aluminum engine which makes drivability much improved over the 07-09 models. Someday, years from now we'll look back on these and find it difficult to believe that Ford was somehow able to get this into production and make as many as they did. There's never been a better time in history to be a motorhead than right now. Great video, guys.

The article you're speaking of showed that the Shelby simply outran the Camaro on the straightaways but was outperformed in every corner. The brakes are perfect for everyday driving but are nowhere near what GM was using on the Corvette, Camaro and even the Caddy V Series. Thankfully, Ford fixed that Starting with the GT350's and going forward.

      @@PerformanceOnWheelsI guess I don’t understand how the current GT500 is no longer a muscle car. Again, cool video, but a GT500 is a GT500

      For sure. Current gt500 to us, is a dramatically different car. Can exceed at multiple laps on a track versus just hitting numbers on a lap or two. Previous GT500 was more muscle, current GT500 is more track. The difference in opinion is completely fine.
