Is the 2020 Ford Shelby GT500 a BETTER performance car than a Camaro ZL1 1LE?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- Two of the most anticipated cars are finally here for 2020. The Ford Shelby GT500 & Lingenfelter Camaro ZL1 1LE bring a lot of performance for the money. Under the hood of the GT500 is a supercharged 5.2L V8 pumping out 760HP & mated to a Tremec 7-speed DCT. Under the hood of the Camaro is a 6.2L supercharged V8 producing 720HP & mated to a Treme 6-speed manual gearbox. Each has taken a different approach to produce power and also from a looks standpoint. On the inside of both you will see updates and changes especially on the GT500. Which of these two performance cars is the one to choose for you?

Doris from Woman.Driven has entered the chat...
They really are!
"No guy can say he has 16 inches unless he drives a shelby gt500" 😂😂😂 this is why I'll always watch these reviews
Thanks man for letting me share some good laughs with you!
@@RaitisRides All your jokes are amazing 😂😂
Lol...man, I was just scrolling down the comments section to see if anybody heard...
On me 😂💯
Amr Maria probably Julio Gomez can say that my friend
Looking at these cars (plus all the Dodge offerings) and you have to admit that we are living the best era of muscle cars ever. I used to think it was '69-'70. But it's now.
@@LeRon-TheCon-Jon-jj8hj
The baby boomers are living it and purchasing these modern muscles rides that has 2X-horsepower of the muscles rides from their era. The boomers know our era is the best of the best performance era ever.
Not even close tf
Man... This Camaro is literally one of the most beautiful cars ever created. Mean, aggressive, powerful, performance. Amazing.
I’ll never sell my 6th gen
mustang is better
The S550 generation Mustang is truly aging gracefully like a fine wine. An absolute beauty from nearly every angle. Hard to believe it is already in it's 5th year of production.
I totally agree with you so much!
So as Camaro
It really is a awesome looking car. When they came out I couldn’t wait to get my 15 gt.
I love that new Mach 1
And now we’re on to the next generation in 2024 and the s550 era is officially over.
I'm a Camaro fan.. But this blue mustang is bad ass gorgeous!! 😍
Im Mustang fan the camaro looks agressive
Both of them are in my opinion absolutely the best of the best from the United States of America. I would be proud and I mean proud to have either one. I've always been a Chevy guy but that Cobra is really getting a lot of respect from me. Their both winners in my book. Thanks Joe.
“ON THROTTLE HERE WE GO” I love this guy😂
It’s my new saying now! Those words get you in a lot of trouble lmao
Sounds like Joe from family guy
im gonna have to zonk myself for not being here earlier
It's okay brother! I am so glad that you are here now.
😂 ✔
thinkabout you guys are the best!
Ahhhhhh I'm late watching this! When I saw where these 2 beasts were going head to head I knew you were excited! And I figured you'll pick the GT500! I forgot get the black licorice & Mr. Pibb!
@@donyellmcgee9836 Licorice YES
Love Both Cars, But The GT500 is Coming Home With Me!!...
I love that!
Yea I agree with you GT500 all the way but that Camaro is 😍
Agreed
ZL1 all day long...best bang for your buck!!! I’m bias because I have one :)
They are a great car!
Best bang for your buck no lie
Me too. Shelby is a great car. But when you look at the price difference there’s no comparison.
These two cars have come such a long way! So much history and memory along with it, its crazy to see what it has come to!
I can't agree with you more.
Yes their heritage is memorable
I love them both but if I have to choose one I would probably pick Camaro
same broo
Why Camaro❓
Both are Bad A**!!🏁🏁 But after watching that Nurburgring video from a couple of years ago I have to pick the ZL1 1LE, that car is a BEAST on a Road Course.
I would absolutely pick the Camaro... Even if it was stock. It just looks so much better in my opinion. The mustangs are quite bubbly now adays. Still love em though. But, the Lingenfelter makes it sooo much cooler imo
Be Safe 24/7 this is the upgraded one with 700+ HP and the stock one is still half a second faster than the mustang so I’d say Camaro
Awesome review ... I just purchased a 1LE pictures to come
Thanks man! Congrats!
I'll take the zl1 1le with a manual.
Nicely done!
I just sold mine. Fantastic ride.
I own one. Started with a ZL1 then, after a year, upgraded to the ZL1 1LE...both manual. I will never sell this one because no other car is made like this and, when they are done with this in a couple of more years, I am afraid we won't see anything like it ever again.
@@damachine3 how's the suspension in the 1LE compared in the regular ZL1?
@@didiermejia780 @DIDIER MEJIA Way stiffer. You feel every little bump. Honestly, it is only better for one thing since it is made for one thing...and that is the track. The Multimatic DSSV suspension is focused on giving you the lowest track times possible (7:16 vs. 7:29 on the Nürburgring); never focused on comfort. The Magnetic Ride suspension of the ZL1 is still amazing for turns and it adjusts 1,000 times per second, so it is good for daily driving as well. It is one of the greatest suspensions in the world for someone who wants to track their car but also drive around town quite a bit. However, I chose the ZL1 1LE because it's not my daily driver and I didn't see much point in going 99 yards but not scoring the touchdown (getting a ZL1 and holding short of what I bought the car for in the first place)...so I sold my Red Hot ZL1 and bought a Hyper Metallic Blue ZL1 1LE (it's a shame they don't make my color anymore because I think it's the greatest color they made for this car). IMHO, if someone holds back on getting a ZL1 1LE because it's not comfortable for daily use, then the same logic should stop them from getting a ZL1 in the first place. Besides, I got used to it. It doesn't bother me when I'm just cruising around. This is one of the best track cars in the world (even better than the GT500) and hands down the best for the money.
Love both cars. But I’m going Shelby GT500. 👌🏻
Same here!
One of these days I’ll go from an eco to a GT... GT500 all day for me!
Yes sir!
Raiti's Rides my best friend is all Chevy so I always love when you review both head to head and I send him the link love these sorta videos!
Absolutely! Mustang all day!
Was loving both, but then he revved the Shelby. Winner, winner...That is the best sound.
GT500 all day long my brother
I like the way that you think!
ZL1 1LE all day bro ✌🏽
Zl1 all day
zl1 interior is much nicer, GT500 exterior looks better it’s just a better color. Both are nice!!!
I've drove em both the zl1 wasn't a 1le but still a better car. The grip and handle of the camaros blows the mustang's away even the shelby's. The shelby sounds better and is very fast very fun to drive but the ZL1 is terrifyingly fast. It blurs your side vision instantly and holds the road better. Shelby's biggest problem is the car they start with. I'd love to see what shelby could do with a camaro.
You can’t go wrong with these two. Both are absolutely beasts🥶
Dude. I love your enthusiasm. You sold me on both cars 😂
Thanks for letting me share my car passion with you!
Seeing you drive the Camaro and screaming was soooo fun! Camaro will always be my dream car.
That Shelby is my absolute dream car!😍
I know how you feel!
@@RaitisRides SHELBY IS AWESOME
Man needs to cross a million quick. Quality videos man. Respect
The blue and white looks so incredible on the Mustang, I swear my next car will be blue it looks amazing.
Ok... look at the expression of his face when driving the ZL1 and then the GT500; you can just tell the ZL1 won big I’m his heart.
Camero is my favorite my dream car and the camero is so loud
One day I am sure you will have one!
Thanks
CamAro.. not CamEro
@@Ws6Ms get a life dude
@Krishna Agrawal Do you know who makes Jaguar's engine?
》F O R D《😲
Shelby definitely wins in the exhaust department 😅
Oh yeah!
Stangs always sound better, sounds like a lion roaring.
camaros sound more aggressive in my opinion and mustangs are louder but thats just my opinion so dont listen to me🤣
20k more for the mustang lol hope it would be better in every aspect
@@EnhancedEntrepreneur I agree with Camaros sounding the most aggressive. Hemis have the deepest sound followed by Camaros then mustangs always have the higher pitched loud sound
At the moment his reaction seems to indicate that he more appreciates the ZL1LE than the GT500.
What a chance to test both cars !
That manual in the Camaro really helped! 😉
@@RaitisRides yes for sure ! The best way to be one with the car !
camaro is my dream car. working towards it now 🥺
You can do it!
what about the mustang
Great review, as always! For me, it’s an obvious choice: ZL1 1LE any day. The lack of a manual in the GT500 is a real shame :/
It does suck!
It does suck
I don't agree the shifting in that Shelby is so fast it's like driving a manual. It's really just like a super car.
That auto shifts super quick as well as response ratio. You might be a good shifter but that auto will do it a lot faster than you or I, no matter how fast we are.
No manual, no bueno.
Just the sound of the gt500 😍 gt500 all the way!
I totally agree with you!
Put a cam in the ZL1 you may change your mind... he revved the GT500 quite a bit higher as well... but the GT500 sounded amazing!
Man the front end of that Chevrolet looks so so badass, as for the rear, meh so cheap looking. I'll take the Shelby any day, looks killer and sounds like something ready to eat up the road. Thanks for sharing Joe.
I appreciate you taking the time to watching and comment!
I can tell without question no taking away your best efforts to inform on the lastest & out of this world performance that is available that hasn't been for a long time.
A couple of things but you don't get a paddle shift or really like it at all in this video you can see it clear as day.My opinion obviously if a sports car is going to be done right it has to have it needs a 6 speed manual.You know I know the paddles are here to stay & with that you might even shed a tear identically to myself when and if we were to make a such a HUGE sacrifice.
The paddle shifts are faster we get it but it's just a huge disconnect to the car that takes all the fun & joy out of it and the levels of experience a person can attain getting good mastering shifting & rowing threw the gears &, the fresh oils there sitting in.I was watching a video John Hennessy even today maybe the video is 2019 or 2020 but even right now today John Hennessy was learning how to shift better so the experience in the ride from learning how to shift as time goes is a never ending ride of excitement & possibilities waiting to be unlocked and where it is at & for myself as well.
Carbon fiber wheels on a Mustang a huge 3 point strut tower brace the turning has to be so connected so incredible just makes you want to get that manual so you can point and shoot wherever you want on the track.
The deck lid is so much skinnier in the Mustang compared to the Camaro that hasn't changed much. I could definitely see way way way way way way more confidence into the turns.The Mustang you are right there in every moment of the turn I mean without a doubt the mustang a way way way way way better car to drive.
Put all that goodness in a Super Snake 🐍 would be from a driver standpoint Christmas morning everyday at every moment better than a Ferrari.
Dare I say it but the days of looking up to a Ferrari or even another European manufacturer are over.
I like the harsher ride in the Camaro if it can handle i would drop it to the ground carbon fiber wheels & a three-point strut tower brace. For such a harsher ride I would definitely get a convertible just so I can get an idea of what the turns are like.
The rear diffuser on the Camaro is terrible the fin on the back is terrible.I wonder looks like a die grinder you might be able to hollow out those holes in the front grill just right even play with the specs on the suspension to soften up just a bit hopefully a aftermarket company would come out with a new front grill & I'd take the fin off the ZR1 and put it on the Camaro along with better recaro seats.Maybe put a copo package hidden underneath for the fun of it detuned.I like Camaro's & would buy one but I'd buy a Shelby Super Snake as well but drive it as a daily driver every day and head to the drag strip with the Camaro & some shopping and make time for it park it out front waxed so I can look at as I pull in, options o yeah.
Definitely a Shelby Super Snake is the way to go with a 6 speed.
Camaro all day!!!!
Both cars are amazing.
Be blessed
Thanks man! Stay safe!
You just have to love the raw emotion!!! You are always fun to watch. It’s in you.
Bill I really appreciate that!
What a duo!! Thanks for the review Joe, have a great weekend.
No problem man! Same to you!
We just purchased a 2020 GT500, not CFTP, but with handling and tech pack. This car is amazing! We had a 17 Shelby GT350 and a 19 Shelby GT350, hands down this beast is just the best car in the world! My daily is a 2022 Mustang GT loaded, with magneride, Performance Pack 1, it is a very fun car to drive, but when it is time to run with the big boys the GT500 is just a beast! I do wish you could hear the supercharger more, but they had to invert it for it to fit. I have never owned a car with a super charger on it, and I am so impressed! The transmission is a dream come true! I could just go on and on about this car, I am so grateful that my husband and I were able to afford one!🤩
WOW! What a great review video! I'm partial to a manual gearbox! It would take me awhile to come down from the tremendous rush of driving them!
love all the Camaro vs Mustang side by side videos to see. the older v6s the otheer v8s now THIS! awsome
It's time you execute on purchasing one for yourself bro, you and Shelby GT500 were made for each other!
I actually have a GT350R that I ordered coming soon!
Raiti's Rides we both know that’s like dating an 11 but settling for a 6. Sell it or cancel and go get the car with 760 reasons why you yell for joy every time you drive. We only live once 🙏🏽
@@RaitisRides Nice review. My money is on the Camaro because it offers a manual transmission. I want to order and pick up a 2020 GT350R as well. However, I am dealing with a lot of greedy dealerships in Texas wanting MSRP plus ADM. Do you have any recommended dealerships in Houston, Austin, Dallas, or San Antonio that you can refer me to? Thanks for your assistance.
I don’t even like a camaro nor a mustang but this mans reaction changes my mind😂😂 those cars are beast’s
I’m with you Joe. GT 500 all the way! I wouldn’t refuse the Camaro though if I won it!😂 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I can understand thar Larry!
😂😂 nahh id take that camaro over the gt500 thats just me
If i won the gt500 i would sell it and buy a 1le!!
@@lovescamaros1 yes! Id sell it and buy a 2018 camaro 2SS 😍😍😍 yellow with black stripes or white with black stripes
Same on all accounts, that camaro other then the back quarter is UGLY!.... and it a chevy so its only ugly for a while rest of the time its broke, that being said I would still have one.... just wouldn't spend my money on it lol.
One of your best Joe. They should be this review in the UA-cam hall of fame for how to do car reviews.
As much as I love ZL1... I love the GT500 also 😭
Take both! LOL
Raiti's Rides I wish 😂
I hardly comment on youtube videos, but your passion and delivery make me smile and and I just wanted to say keep 'em coming.
Loving your videos lately, ZL1 (non-1le) is on my short list to upgrade to from my Veloster N!
Cool! Thanks for watching!
“Focus on where you want to go, don’t look where you don’t want to go” hell yeah Joe that’s what I’m talking about! 🙌🏾
I'm a Chevy guy so I have to go with the ZL1
Nothing wrong with that!
This is The ultimate showdown right here seeing that you were blown away by both of these cars
I'm stang guy,but that grey beast looks incredible!
The headlights on Shelby, looks like it’s giving you a big stare down!!
The camaro is my dream car trying to get one this year
Fingers crossed man! You can do it!
Make it happen. Which trim? I test drove a zl1 last week. Sick!!.
Same homie !!!
@@didiermejia780 I'm aiming for the lt1 model cant afford a ss sadly
I love both of these cars!! I have a black 2020 Camaro 1SS.
One of my favorite reviews to date!! Great job with this one
Love that 2020 Shelby GT500 with Carbon Track Package! More of a special car than the Camaro ZL1 1LE. Dual-clutch transmission, carbon fiber wheels/wing/diffuser, 760 crank horsepower, coolers everywhere, heat extractor hood w/ removable rain tray, giant 16" brake rotors, etc...
I have never seen Raiti so fired up in a review!
Maaaaaaaaaan I've never clicked on a notification faster than i have just now!!!! We bout to have us some pony car on throttle tiiiiime y'all!!! Strap. In. Now.

Thanks for seeing that Mario! I can't do it without you! It is always nice to read your comments!
I’m with you 100% raiti Shelby gt500 all the way, I mean I really felt like I was in the car with u gassin it through those Tampa streets 🏁🐍❗️❗️❗️
Hey Joe, made it on time this day things are out of hand but good to see some supercharged power!
I appreciate you getting here!
Staying Frosty . . . Excellent review .
My girlfriend wants the ZL1, and my best friend wants the GT500 👍🏻😂🚘
Nice taste!
Can you adopt me please? 🤣👀😎
Marry your best friend
@@RaitisRides So who has got the "nice taste"?
So, this begs the Question . ..
Which one gets the "Z O N K"
Love your enthusiasm, puts a smile on my face!
Even though I like dark colored cars like the Camaro, I'd still go for the COBRA, a good old muscle car back in the days.
Oh yeah! That is the way I am going!
@@RaitisRides ;D
@@stellantistom6881 we have good taste!
@@RaitisRides LOL, I still prefer the Challenger, but if it's Mustang or Camaro, then it's Mustang. 🏁🏁🏁
I got my 2015 GT as a 50th birthday gift from my wife, but now I want a GT-500. I’m a Mustang lover and have been for about 40 years. I had a 65 Mustang when I was 18, but had to sell it. I had to put off getting another Mustang until I was 50. But now I want a Shelby. After I retired from active Army I don’t have to worry about having to put my car in storage when I deploy. So hopefully I can make things work out so I can get a Shelby. I’m so jealous of anyone I see driving them. I want to be Snake Bit!
Lucky guy! You will get one I am sure!
I love that gt500 and that color. I wish I can buy it to make people in the apartments mad lol
Rumble them!
Fantastic video, love the road show!
When you’ve achieved this level of super muscle car badassery in this (stock) power range and price point (MSRP) you won’t go wrong with either of these machines. While my preference is ZL1 if I’m spending money I’m going GT500 🤣🤣🤣
This was the best review ever!!! 🎉
I’m going have to zonk UA-cam for recommending this video 8 months after it was released
I guess better late than never but thanks for tuning in!
Raiti gon get thrown in jail, good thing this video was filmed on a closed course and not on public roads
LEZZZZ GOOOO CAMAROOOOOO!!!
Oh yeah!
You are a fun dude
Great review. I drive an 19 GT350 but that 500 is OUTRAGEOUS
keep them coming
I really love the look of that camaro. Joe, you should do more side by side comparisons. I like it.
You got it Richard!
He had a spiritual experience in the GT500.
Love the shelby but i'm a mopar guy. Great video Rati
Thanks Pete!
My wife just walked in from work I had your video up on my 80 inch big screen and I told her to sit down and watch it. Next thing she says is 00 God bye-bye Challenger hello GT 500 and I just laughed my ass off at her.

Hey Joe,
very awesome video mate! I love this Shelby GT500 because it is such a beautiful and powerful car. A quick note: I saw a late 2000´s Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 yesterday and oh boy is this car gorgous!
Hope you´ll have a fantastic summer.
DJW
The blue one is the loudest and greatest sound
I totally agree with you!
The blue one.... lol
What a great review, you can’t go wrong with either one of them, especially if it will be put to track use. But that GT500 is just a little extra special, what are the size of those stripes? My goodness they look so good I want them on my GT500. This is the first Mustang that I’ve owned, and I get chased down the freeway by teenagers wanting to check out the car, older man at the gas stations coming to give it complements, thumbs up, honks, people pulling to the side to let the car pass, she’s extra special, she’s not just a Mustang, she is The Mustang.
Joe which one would you buy?
I am going GT500!
I haven’t seen you pumped like this ever!!!
Awesome review as always Joe. But the GT500 REALLY needs a manual option.
That's why I'd rather have the 2014 Shelby GT500 with the manual. 662 horsepower is plenty.
ummm no. a 7 speed DCT is by far better.
Both such beautiful machines. Loved your review. You relayed the excitement too.
Thanks for letting me share all the fun with you!
This was a awesome review... ZL1 1LE for me please
One heck of a review, i have been a fan of you for a long long time and seeing all these emotions on both car especially when you were shifting camaro, i felt 2002 fast n furious era right smack on my face when car passion was at peak, i love it, i love both cars, i love camaro even more, if it was gt350 or gt350r, it would've been a different story, manual shifting is where the heart of car enthusiast lies..
I don’t get into the Ford Chevy arguments, as a true gear head, I like fast cars. I have to pick the ZL1 for a couple reasons 1 the launch control doesn’t have a 1 second delay ( what was Ford doing ) 2 The GT500 is one quick ride so obviously it is pushing some G meters around and they went with a wet sump oiling system and that’s a huge “ what the beeeeep “ was Ford thinking.
I like the way that you think.
I came to the comments just to say I love the automatic transmission in the ford
@Chris Bruchak Jesus Christ dude. The guy is giving his opinion on how he feels about the cars. I’m all in on the GT500 too, but I’m not going to talk down to another grown man like that because of his opinion on a car. Humble yourself a little bit bro.
I know I'm late to the party here, but I had to comment after such a great video review.
I don't think it would be an easy task picking one over the other. On one hand, you have very high horsepower with an amazing exhaust note - on the other hand, you have the auto-purests street legal race car. They're both gorgeous - both ridiculously fast.
But, if I had to choose... I'm going with the most bang for the buck - the one that can do it all. The ZL1-1LE.
Couldnt agree more. The day we are all driven around by electric autonomous vehicles will be THE saddest of sad days. What will car enthusiasts do them? As always amazing video!
I know how you feel Jack! Thanks for letting me share it with you!
When U were driving the Camaro I was thinking I love the standard but when U jumped in the ford it was over. Those shifts in the automatic are amazing!
Zl1 1LE is better in my opinion
Good old manual gearbox is really nive!
Your opinion doesn’t matter
😂😂😂
@@Cobra_Ken hey bro I'm a mustang fan too no need to be toxic, I mean it's lighter and it has a manual
Great work very understanding, thx for bringing this two muscle cars!
I will ALWAYS choose the Mustang over the Camaro!! ESPECIALLY if it's a Shelby GT500! That is my dream car!
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Dope! I’ve been Z28,Corvette, and a SS Camaro! I would love to have that GT500! Even though yu can’t loose!
I like the carbon fiber rims, no backseats, that rear bumper! On the GT500.
Much as I like Chevy! Ford always show yu their kinda big brother! Squeaking out the win on this one by a hair! Great job by two of the best auto makers 👏🏾👏🏾
24:22 that mustang didn't want the smoke😂 smoke 💨
Keep up reviews like this brother! Awesome!
You got it my frined!
