Nothing makes me happier than seeing people enjoy the best Mustangs that ever existed! I imported a 2020 GT500 into Romania (Europe) and it's basically a halo car here...the attention it gets is crazy, and the driving experience is like no other European car! Glad you enjoyed too fam!
You lucky dawg! I'm from India. We can't import left hand drive cars into the country anymore. Even if it were RHD, we can't have em unless Ford officially brings it here. They only sold the standard 5.0 S550 Mustangs here. 😒
Lunch on Sundays are always made better with an STG video
What’s for lunch?
@@natbarron can’t go wrong with a BLT sandwich mate 🤣👀
@@dream_supercars_daily not bad not bad!
Don't get me wrong, the first one is by far the coolest one, but, the 2007 is pure perfection. What a beautiful and timeless design.
Uh, have you ever driven an 08 mustang? It is utter cheap trash.
I'd rather drive an EV eco shitbox that that era mustang
2013 GT500 was very iconic as well and it also had Super Snake pkg....I'm sure you remember when Topgear reviewed it
Hands down a better Mustang than the 2008 imposter in the lineup.
I feel that Sam missed/didn't consider the GT350/R too.
Alright, it's coffee time
☕
9:18 Sam about to understand the Mustang Cars and Coffee meme...
Sunday morning ritual of watching Seen Through Glass with a coffee👌
OMG You're on Long Island, I live here! Wish I could see you. Nice to see you stopped at All American! That hambrger spot's been around forever, my dad used to take me there.
I grew up in that area Sam. You were on Ocean Parkway, which back 20-30 yrs ago was a place people would go to do some high speed runs (mostly at night) and some street racing between Jones and Robert Moses State Parkways. It's cool that you guys went to All American for lunch. I haven't been there in years but it looks exactly the same as it has for decades. You need to get back there when it's warmer.
“American speed limits are quite slow” *proceeds to be passed immediately by 5 cars* 😂
maybe brits arent aware of the minimal 5mph over the speed limit rule
60s American V8 sound, power, lack of traction must be peak cool car of all time
Sam the 67’ Shelby is the second generation. The first is the GT350 from 65’ and the third is the 69’
Officially, those are all 1st generation Mustangs you've described. The 1st gen of Mustangs went thru 1973. The GT350 and GT500 were each designed for different things. The 350 has always been the more track oriented car between the 2, while the 500 was more in your face, raw power. Still used on the track, but the 350 was generally the more successful track car. The 08 is from the 4th generation Mustang, but the first time the Shelby badge was used on it in decades. The Cobra moniker was used on the 2nd & 3rd generation Mustangs. Although the 2nd gens still carried the Shelby name alongside it. So, the 07-13 GT500s could be considered 2nd gen GT500s, but they were on the 4th gen Mustangs. And of course, the 2020 is the 5th gen Mustang, and the 3rd generation that received the GT500 moniker.
@@jamesmitchell9200 I might be wrong, but isn't the '08 car the fifth gen while the '15 till '23 is sixth
@stefangrubesic2708 you are definitely right. I'm not sure where my head was at when I wrote that. The S197 was indeed the 5th gen and S550 was 6th. Which means I need to also edit that the Cobra moniker was also used on 4th gen Mustangs. Not just 2nd and 3rd; and while the Cobra II was a tribute of sorts to the Shelby, I don't think it ever actually had the Shelby name like I originally thought.
The newest GT500 is a legit handling car. Seriously quick on track. The old ones are just cool but don’t handle
Nice to see you here on LI. Been here for over 20yrs. Ocean Parkway is a nice drive with a classic. Nice to see you hit up All American too haha. Warmer weather is almost here!
Love your videos Sam! I once took the Mustang Bullit across the water from Ireland to Wales and then down to Caffeine & Machine for a few days. Incredible few days with the Mustang 😎
See Sam, this is why I stay subscribing! Because there’s always more exciting content and you deliver it wonderfully.
There's not as many young Americans that love muscle cars as previous generations, but I took delivery of my GT350 in the south (Nascar country) and I had people taking pictures and giving thumbs up the first day I drove it. The 2020 GT500 is such a cool car for $80kish (used market). I know a guy who had the 2020 with full exhaust and it literally is the loudest thing I have ever heard.
The 350 is so good, so precise for a large car, I owned it and a WRX in Malibu and the 350 was way more fun in the hills.
So trippy to see you in Massapequa at All American, hope you had a blast on Long Island!
gotta say that the hate on the 2008 is not only undeserved, but undervalued. you went with a super snake which is excess over the normal Shelby of the year. could've done the same for the s550 generation and would have also came away with the feeling that it was too unruly etc. The "crap" interior of the S197 generation is also my favorite and I will stand by that.
Nice Sam! Love the video! It's great to see your experience driving each generation Shelby Mustang! All American is a great burger spot!
Been looking forward to this ever since you teased it on BTG
Another great video Sam! Love the modern classics... always find myself scrolling through 996 911s on Autotrader after 😂
2007 is where its at for me. Thats the heaven. The sweet spot. Very awesome you could share with us experiencing these great american muscle back to back.
Love the cheeky supercharger sound around 7:30!
Awesome! Sam you should do an American sport/supercar series.
@25:57 casually strolls by a red Ferrari with tan interior and continues commentary on Mustangs. Atta boy Sam ! 👍👍😂
I own the 2009 mustang Bullitt. The live rear axle is a disaster. Very fun to drive through and you get all the looks here in Holland 🇳🇱.
Nice video Sam. Color on the m3 is called Laguna Seca blue I believe. Also the 964 that was in front of the mustangs must be nice 🤑
Perfect timing! 👌
What a beautiful video Sam 👏👏
Looking forward to see you drive the new Mustang GTD! As they say it destroys a GT3RS 😮 curious what a Porsche lover says about it.
Sam, it’s a shame that you used so few outside shots..i’m 13 minutes in and it seems that close to 0 outside footage was used :/
10:48 Carol Shelby wanted one of his cars to achieve 200mph, before he died.
.
That is why you have that 08'... But no one was actually able to achieve that (outside Shelby/Ford claiming that they did)
Great video, surprised you didn't think of the high spec F-Type V8s as a kind of euro rival to the latest GT500
Great video to capture mustang culture 👍
Great video.
The acceleration of the 67 Shelby was nothing short of shocking. What this must have felt like in period is just amazing. Warp speed comes to mind.
My favourite muscle car! 😍 My uncle sold his 1965 black and red Fastback when he was in his 20s and still regrets it to this day in his 60s. My favourites will always be the 03-04 Terminator Cobra blacked out with Borla exhaust or the GT350R.
So good! Always been a fan of a mustang since I was young and can't believe I now have one! Hopefully I'll sort out the seating position in mine 😂
Great video this because i’m a muscle car guy. The way you compare the super snake to a plane is exactly how I describe my Challenger Hellcat. If you are ever in Newcastle area you are more than welcome to have a go, mental on UK roads
I'd add the last gen GT350/R to that list. They had a flat plane crank unlike the other Mustangs of the same generation.
Great episode
Phenomenal American content per usual Sam. I’m a huge Mustang fan.
Nothing like a manual V8 60's or early 70's muscle car 😊 Sam you need to drive an old muscle car with a super lumpy cam, yet another level 💪
That '67 GT500 is what dreams are made of 🤤
That's awesome! Love seeing you driving some good ole American classics. Too bad they didn't have any Dodges! You didn't even mention Carrol Shelby's autograph in the 08! lol
Cool to see you get out of your wheelhouse and drive some American muscle. But it was funny, once in the warehouse, all you could do was drool over those Porsches...LOL
my f type sounds like a Jaguar roaring, the newest Shelby really sounds like a LION
You was in Long Island there’s a lot of crazy cars out there
This was my favorite video you have made.
Hey Sam, been watching your videos forever now and always look forward to them on Mondays (in NZ). However, I seem to miss them in my subscriptions feed, even when I actively look for them. I think you might want to change your thumbnails! Maybe some brighter colours or bigger/yellow text? Just a suggestion :)
Sam has one of the best channels on this platform. His time and effort doesn’t go unnoticed
The 60s one looks so fun!
Unbelievable video mate! You need to get behind the wheel of a GT350R, if you're ever in Denver mines all yours
S550 and up are the greatest chassis Mustang period. The Foxbody is amazing too.
Omg I can’t believe you were in my neck of the woods!!
Great video.
Other viewers are right…you have to repeat this video with GT350’s!
I wonder if those Mustangs were on summer tires. I use Michelin PS4S’s on my MKV Supra and once it gets too cold, it’s like driving on ice (the PS4S is better in cold than the older PSS).
Based on how cold it looked that may be why those cars were getting loose with just a touch of the pedal.
I live in Texas so it’s not worth putting all season tires on my cars but I’d do it in a heartbeat if I lived in NY or other parts up North.
I’ve driven a ‘65 Shelby, and it was fantastic. Raw, crude, and painful, but fantastic fun.
That 2008 is an S-197 platform and put out I believe 500 h/p. The last year of the S-197 platform 2014 Gt500 put out 662 h/p.
The 55 limits and wide straight roads sound like hell for car guys.
Still owning my 2008 Shelby GT500KR (King of the Road), I can tell you that to this day, no other car gives me such a visceral thrill. The engine (550ps), the close ratio Hurst shifter, etc.. nothing comes close!
Well this was unexpected and the best thing ever!!
Corvettes next? Great vid!
The best Mustang and only one I'd want is the original 64-66 model
Sam needs to get behind the wheel of an a Terminator Cobra. The original supercharged mustang. My favorite of the three in the video was the 1967 gt500.
Great item...no replacement for displacement 😊
I'd take the one without the eco boost ;)
On a serious note I was always a fan of Roush tuned mustangs
So that would be any V8 then.
6:11 how fast is that car that overtakes the yellow one?!
Z06 Corvette review needed soon.
I think you've missed the point of the 5th Gen Mustang (I guess you could call it the 2nd Gen Shelby Mustang, although it's never called that in Mustang circles). It was a throwback to a simpler time. Classic looks with ample power and a great noise. The chassis was never designed for 750hp of the Super Snake. It wasn't even designed for the "stock" 500hp of the GT500. But a V8/GT with a few chassis tweaks is a great car. Of course it won't hang with a European car on a twisty road, but who cares? And the interior may use cheap materials but the V8/GT was a $25k car new in 2005. That was about £18k!!!! The 5th Gen Mustang is just like those cheeseburgers. Would you find one on the menu in a fancy restaurant? Nope. But my goodness they taste good and hit the spot. Yeah, I own two of them. Here in the UK :)
6:00, meanwhile pickup trucks are barreling past.
Vantage is a good rival for gt500 performance comparison. The vantage is just a lot more luxurious inside
The 996s in there….😍
Need you to test the 2016-20 mustang gt 350r
2019 is my favourite
14:44 *In Clarkson's voice*: "A lot of poo just shot out!"
i remember that when he did that with the p45
@@theoknowscars5418 One of the most hilarious bits of Top Gear, that one!
Yo! How did you get the drone shots of LIC? Even Casey Neistat can't get those. Lolz
Casey is his drone operator. He worked
It out
3:00 The cars in the late 60s started to downplay their HP... For insurance and other reasons.
.
Thats why you'll see that the 426 Hemi and other big blocks will only say 400 hp etc.
that man has a martini shirt but it said's martin racin like martin the subaru from the grand tour
Those are beautiful ford mustangs
I think summer may have been a better time to drive these cars 😅
The classic definitely isn't stock. They don't pull like that.
Yes some muscle 💪
The DBS superleggera might be a gt500 competitor
The goal in muscle cars was to "get rubber 2nd to 3rd." (Lose rubber, technically.)
A little late but got to it
Would be cool if you asked the guy in the yellow one for some of the footage and cut it into the video :) He probably wouldve said yeah
Nice cars but the mustang 350r would be my best of choice
The best driver’s Mustangs are not those - the best ones for driving are the GT350 and 2012/2013 Boss 302 (throw in the 69/70 Boss 302s if you want to add vintage vibe). These ones you’ve chosen (or had access to) are fast in a straight line, not so much on the twisties. Also that “2nd gen” you’re referring to is the 5th gen mate!
Dude!!! You were parked next to a 928 and didn't point it out... 😮
Shame they can’t turn in. 😂
How shoes has done so many ,lies with one i dont know. It drinks fuel😂
GT350 would probably be more your speed Sam
I'm confused why are you calling the 2008 Mustang the second Gen Mustang?
I think he's calling it a 2nd generation GT500. Which does feel a bit weird, because the GT500 is just a variant of the Mustang, and that's a 5th gen mustang.
@@LiqdPT that's what I thought to start with too, which felt weird as you say, but then that standard white convertible went past and he then called that a second gen which through me right off
@@bigdaveladprobably used because he's been calling the Supersnake a 2nd gen and (I doubt it was this calculated but) that car was the same gen and referring to it as a 5th gen wouldn't express that.
@@LiqdPT I guess, it's just wrong though. As one of his fellow Brits I find it so wrong calling it a second gen in any way shape or form
@@bigdavelad and as a canadian/American I had to actually look up what "gen" that 2008 car was. We don't usually refer to them that way (beyond the Mustang II), but by platform name or nickname.
Sam really needs to take some advanced driving lessons.
Ford Mustang 😀
Sam,those cars are death on wheels !!!
Give me a Mustang over a Ferrari or Lambo anyday
Did Ford just stick a load of power in them and forget about the rest of the engineering.
Sam in America they don't say manual transmission, they say four on the floor. So four-speed manually shifted when the gear lever comes up from the floor. Then when you have to shift gears with such an old American car, you put your left hand at twelve o'clock on the steering wheel, then you have better control over the car when shifting.
This what talking about . True America 🇺🇸 muscel cars . Totally agree their not best around corners . The chevy camaro and sister cars where better for that.
So but the super snake in a ditch ?
Sorry Sam but the gen 3 GT350 was better than the GT500
