Had this car at the Chevy dealership I work at twice actually. It pulls hard. We had it put on the dyno, which would have been a little over a year ago. It made around 960 and that was on slicks. So on a street tire it would have made a little more power.
He's still 12...like the rest of us...lol...loud isn't loud enough! Borla will sound awesome on that 'stang...my bro has one...first thing he did....I really wish I knew more about it, like what part number, but....he already asked me if I want to take her for awhile...I just really have an aversion to driving other people's cars...shit happens and I don't want to be that guy...back in the day I had a hotrod Pontiac pushing around 600...I let him take it for a weekend to do a carshow that I was registered in...I had a side job to do, so he and his girl went in my stead...he brought it back detailed, with a full tank of hightest, and a second place trophy for best in show...barely got beat by a Buick that was badass...didn't know they had a second place for best in show...anyways, I think he feels he owes me because I let him take my car...just knowing that he trusts me that much is pretty cool...
Drove my first GT500 today. They absolutely rip. Very impressed with the trans and the power delivery. Over 6k rpm it’s an animal. Feels quicker than Hellcat Redeye for sure.
You’re on the money Mike. GM is pandering to politics. Seems all that bailout money came with a cost and that cost is now due. The corvette will be ruined with EV tech. Will it be fast? Sure. But will it be a corvette with an unmistakable exhaust note and v8 rumble? No. The 70 year history will be over when GM goes ERay. Unfortunately politicians no absolutely nothing about true environmental science. If they did, they would know that fossil fuels is not the problem. Industrial pollution is the issue. EV’s create more environmental impact than gas powered vehicles. Sad days ahead.
Good to see a stang on the channel bro. I’m currently fixing up a 1994 Base model. Just a 3.8 5spd but still fun car to drive. I really like the tangerine color too.
Seeing you enjoy and have fun in the mustang made me so happy. People like to make jokes and hate on them but once you drive one it all changes. super hype about this
Please please please keep it and build it mike. I've loved all of your builds over the last 7 years but man I want to see you do some stang content 🤙🔥🔥
Crazy GM didnt see the value in getting you an allocation. I bought my first C7 Zo6 3 weeks ago because of this channel and was planning on getting a C8 Zo6 as well.
hold the left paddle it takes you to the optimal gear. Plus really would like to see this one with a little more vs the svj. Plus with tunes some of these rev as high as 8500rpm so learn whats done to it.
Gotta think the reason these feel more like a vette is because a stock cftp gt500 4000lbs but can get around a track faster than or within a second of cars like Ferrari f8 tributo Lamborghini huracan evo and porsche gt3rs which are all 4to 5 seconds faster than a c8. plus Most people like the brakes better on the 500 over all them cars.
Thanks for the knowledge I know Kansas city street races hasn't been same sense these coyote engine and 10 speed or 8 speeds come out thank that's y there doing slide shows more often now days no one can't keep up but from what I've seen few of Kansas Citys look more like promods going down the street than the parachute door slammer cars
That is a sick ride! I totally dig the “won’t be getting the Chevy I want… so time to get a badass Ford!” I am a GM guy and totally get your frustration. With that said, you are still making great content, Mike.
Dude yesss so hyped for the Shelby!! Such an epic car man. You should’ve purchased a GT350/GT350R with a manual though, but we’ll forgive you 😂. Love the videos Mike, been watching for many years my friend. Keep it up!
Been with you since 2014 and the yellow Stingray. I had just bought a 2014 Stingray and was looking for Corvette content. Stayed with you through the white Hellcat and on to the Yellow ZO6. Your videos with that car are why I bought a 2016 Z06 brand new. GM really owes you for me buying that car. You have represented the brand best of all the UA-camrs. They played around with the brand, you have stayed true to Corvettes. I'm sure I'm probably your oldest fan (75). Keep up the good work.
Very cool Mike definitely be looking forward to seeing you build this and I like that it's something different even though I love the Vette content. And btw your absolutely rite about them ruining the Corvette when they start adding electric to it!
I seen a GT500 in action on the track. That thing was wicked. The sounds it made were pure art. Faast! My only gripe is the gear selector, dont really like the dial
@@StreetSpeed717 that doesnt take anything way from the car otherwise. Its badass. I see a bunch of GT350s and GT500 on the highways while driving semi. And so many Corvettes.
Hell yes I love this. It sounds so mean. I know you mentioned putting a corsa exhaust on it. I am more of a borla guy for the deeper noise instead of the high pitch but wow it sounds great
I have so much to say but i will say this! I’m super happy that mike finally bought a mustang Shelby and is talking very very positive things about the car ! This vid blew my mind and I couldn’t believe it! Also i smiled so many times during the vid it was wild but mike on a serious note! The exhaust is so loud And incredible sounding if i was ya I wouldn’t change it! Yes i know how you with the sound and such but still! Plus an idea for a vid would be doing a auto cross track day itch it and really putting it to the test
@Hivoltage1999 that and just the fact that it seems you can nearly get away with anything nowadays because if you deal with something in the wrong way, it's racist or offends someone which is such a big no no now in the land of the free... total bs nowadays
Soooo glad to see a fast ford on the channel… that being said if it’s even close to the ZR1 that’s a huge win for ford seeing you can take 4 people in the ford! Can’t wait to see what you do!!
Heck yeah man, finally you wised up and went with a Ford Mustang. Dude I love it, I'll have all of my babies Mamma to subscribe to your channel for this move you made here, lol I love it
As a petrol head in my mid 60s, your content makes me drool...... Its nutters. But now after an mv accident its a case of : if you cant afford to pay, you cant afford to play.... So the only playing i get is to drool on my phone at the eye candy and what ifs Guys, enjoy it while you are able. We, especially us speed freaks, think we are invincible. Until that day.... But, i suppose, looking back its preferably a case of "maybe i shouldnt have done that.." rather than "i wonder if i could have done that...." Keep the content coming, its eye candy for the soul Stay safe out there And enjoy Keep on keeping on Heads up Eyes open No fear
Mike, it sucks you have to explain yourself. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. It does suck that gm didn’t give you the allocation. Keep rocking what you’re doing. Ps my wife is very angry with me. I don’t have enough room for my t shirts. Lol 😂 I have to sneak some orders in to get entered
The sound of that car reminds me as I work outside of the small dealership a loud car comes bye and revs the engine and everyone jump's around. I think it's because of the shooter back in 2001.
Mike don't apologize for the rant, we all need it and quite honestly I enjoy hearing it, it's entertainment for me. That's why I watch, entertainment. And every once in a while I might learn something from you. I say let it all out man! I actually am curious about what you have to say even if nobody else wants to hear it
Congratulations...I have been waiting for you to finally bring one to the channel its definitely a dream of mine to drive in a gt500,unfortunately we don't get them here in South Africa but once again very nice and Congratulations
Dang, I even commented on your IG post that you should buy mine. Oh well, guess it’ll be the perfect next give away for me 😁
Thought of you as soon as I saw this video
Was always gonna be a giveaway cmon now
Well maybe y'all should race or something that would be an epic video
It's ganna be a giveaway car it's only ganna be on the channel for like 2 weeks then he's going to announce that's he's doing a giveaway on it
When y'all goin to run'em lol
Dasani canned still taste like super soaker water that's a month old.
That's a taste that everyone should know, like knowing what a soccer/kickball smells like as it blasts your face
Yes Dasani taste like a brand new water hose 🤮
It’s like drinking bath water
Good to see Lee's car went to a good place. He is part of the local car scene here in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Thing is a monster for sure.
14:31 lmaoo old man loved it for sure

You know me I'm an environmentalist while showing the TRX on fire in a field 🤣 love it
Even tho I'm pissed about the truck being ruined I was laughing as well 😂
I really feel like you should keep this in your collection this seems like a good addition
Well played Mike, the ultimate FU to Chevy for canceling your Z06. You go out and buy a Ford lol.
Now you have to race Itsjusta6 against his 1000hp Shelby....
Itsjusta6 Shelby is 1100 hp Brodie
And other one 1450hp
He don’t want none 😏

Ok...im zr1 fan for life but damn, that gt500 is pure candy ♥️♥️
Great content as always man. Ford guy or not... the GT500 is an incredible car. Looking forward to the races!

I think the tang stang needs some sticky tires on rear. Anxious to how the zr1 does when it returns to the channel. Keep up the great videos Mike.
Already has Street R's!
I’m a proud 🥲 papa 👴 right now congrats 🍾🎉🎊🎈
You are by far my favorite UA-cam automotive personality. I love everything you stand for and most of what you do. Keep up the good work 🇺🇲
Ditto!

More mustang content pleaseee!! I had a smile on my face the whole video haha that gt500 is badddddd!! 🔥🔥
Please please please keep it and build it mike. I've loved all of your builds over the last 7 years but man I want to see you do some stang content 🤙🔥🔥
I spit some of my Red Bull out when Mike said the GT500 is almost as nasty as Hiliary Clinton 💀🤣😂
Killer car Mike! Good purchase without a doubt! Sounds absolutely menacing! Now to give it the FULL 717 treatment.
hell yeah would love to see a wicked Mustang/gt500 build to go with the wicked zr1. But gonna need a little more powa
3.8 Whipple👀

1000 hp GT500 just weeks before the PA winter’s set in…………… great timing Mike lol
hold the left paddle it takes you to the optimal gear. Plus really would like to see this one with a little more vs the svj. Plus with tunes some of these rev as high as 8500rpm so learn whats done to it.
I believe he did say that he was going to try to contact the former owner to maybe pilot the Mustang in a race...
Car sounds insane. I love the stangs. Now you have too ceramic coat the roof lol
Not a Mustang guy, but one eternal positive is that fact they always sound pretty good.
It's a shame mike is not getting his ZO6. But, i guess everything works out in the end! Fantastic buy mike! Looking forward to some great content!
Zora
Congratulations bro!!!!! I’m not in any way a ford fan! BUT….. I’m excited to see that rip! I wanna see neighbor Rich’s reaction!

Hell yes, I approve of this purchase! That exhaust sound is 🔥 can't go wrong with a gt500!
I'm not even a mustang fan forreal but I'm looking forward to the videos with this car!
Im actually low key a mustang man, I will be watching for this. I’ll say, the z06 is from another planet but this stang is baddass. Good move 💪🏻💪🏻
Dude yesss so hyped for the Shelby!! Such an epic car man. You should’ve purchased a GT350/GT350R with a manual though, but we’ll forgive you 😂. Love the videos Mike, been watching for many years my friend. Keep it up!
That factory DCT is freaking fast.
@@spooler7828 I know but manual is so much more fun! The GT350 is definitely slower but that’s not the point of the car.
I agree. A GT350 giveaway would be sweet. Everyone knows the DCT GT500 is faster. But I would take a manual, flat plane crank!
Had a GT350 and got to drive a GT500 on a track. I still like shifting a manual. Both awesome cars for sure
Love the Corvette content , but I've always loved Mustangs, and that is a beauty!!!! Hope to gave one some day!!!!

I would love to see more videos on the 1,000 Hp Shelby gt500 the sound of the exhaust and the supercharger whine sounds so good
Hell yeah 🔥🔥🔥 car looks so good! Fits you like a glove!
Love the new car bud I hope I can win one of those badass rides.keep up good work.

YES!!! More GT500 content!
Late
😂
Always
Mustangs are known to have a tone of their own and are very quick cars, the rear ends will slip out from under you because of the torque , HAVE FUN
For some reason I was happy to hear the train horn after the tunnel 😂
Starts off with a aluminum water can then gets into the stang with a plastic bottle of water 😂 he is still one of us!
Mike “ it’s not very loud” also Mike “raised his voice so we can hear him”’😂😂
You almost gave that poor man a heart attack. I’m enjoying it already. Those mustang noises are awesome, especially in the tunnel.
The sound of that car reminds me as I work outside of the small dealership a loud car comes bye and revs the engine and everyone jump's around. I think it's because of the shooter back in 2001.
im so happy he loves the mustang lol.. ive been a mustang owner while watching this channel for years... so glad to see him into a mustang xD
Lee is from my home town. Haven’t met him personally but can easily tell he’s a cool ass dude. Can’t wait for him to be behind the wheel of it again!
Wait till you feel how different the Carbon wheels feel, Feedback is amazing, Brakes are insane, Stability is insane, feels half the weight
Yessir!
NOTHING beats the sound of a new stang 🔥
Finally got to see not one but 2 mustangs on the channel!! 🎉🎉
😂😂 the Hillary Clinton line got me
Mike don't apologize for the rant, we all need it and quite honestly I enjoy hearing it, it's entertainment for me. That's why I watch, entertainment.

Mike you should bring back the callout events like the good ol days!
“Almost as angry as Hillary Clinton” LOL. I’m dead
I love mine. The best part are the upshifts. That thing cracks when you upshift under throttle.
That thing is sick!!🤘🏻🤘🏻
