What’s the difference on a super snake?
My 10 grabber blue super snake has not given me any issues at all
All you need to know: get one.
One day
Exactly
@@ali19186 amen 🙏🏾
Picking one up tomorrow lol
Just picked up a 2009 GT500 with 11k miles for 28k. Car was owned by a 78 year old guy that hardly ever drove it. White with red stripes.
Kinda of my situation. An 09 with 1922 for 39k. Older gentleman owned it and kept it locked up. Super lucked out and happy with it.
@@blanko_sama8049 39k? Holy shit my dude. The '08 with ~1250 miles that my dad owns would shit himself for even 30k.. I'm taking it off his hands for 25 since he's never driven it, with myself putting most of the miles on it over the last decade.
@@norgepalm7315 have fun with it my man. 🤘
@@blanko_sama8049 Same here. '09 - 21k for $34k seems high, but pickings were slim around my area. She's damn near cherry otherwise. Bone stock and garage-kept.
@@josephhein9497 nice! How are you liking it?
We have a 2013 GT500. We brought it with us to Germany. She loves the autobahns. I normally keep her between 100-150 MPH, but we've hit 195 +/- on a few occasions. I still get nervous passing the Polizei at anything above 120, even though they don't come after you. Very good and detailed video!
Holy 💩!!! Awesome.
Let them here that american scream!!!
I had a 2008 gt500 that was in great shape. Older guy used it regularly on the weekends and went on long cruises, had 126k but ran like a beast!! No dents or scratches anywhere on the paint
Guessing you sold it but if not, is it still running good? I'm interested in buying one but not trying to buy like a 2011-14 as they are expensive or more than in willing to get
@@H2OIsMyBro i wanna look for a 2011-2014 but none r for sale ever sadly
Keep looking. You have to watch these cars DAILY. I waited months before I was able to get mine with the specific color and setup I wanted. @@angelospieard220
hey man this is my first video ive seen from you and i just gotta say this helped alot. liked and subscribed immediately keep it up man im gonna stick around and watch you grow!!!!
Great vid and informative! I was very fortunate to come across my 07 black convertible last month with less than 400 miles as it originally was from a collector. Been dreaming about owning this exact model for 15 years. Love the retro, classic, simple and raw look!
I picked up an 07 108k well maintained tastefully modded (lowered on 20s, bolt ons, dyno tune, 4.10s, mgw, bluetooth pioneer screen etc) for 16500 recently. One of the cheapest clean title gt500s ive seen. The milage is higher than usual but still not bad these motors are tough. Its performance white stripe delete. I just recently picked up some gunmetal f14 drag pack wheels 17x7 front 17x10.5 305/45/17 et streets.
My car wasnt daily driven it def wasnt driven in bad weather it is too nice underneath it. It has def been well maintained. You can also tell by the things that was done to the car..if the mods are top notch best of everything that goes a long ways towards telling you how it was taken care of. The miles are higher but not bad at all for a 2007 and you can def tell it was taken care of...interior is clean too. The price def reflects the milage but the loan value at my credit union was 17700 so i got 100% of it on loan with 0 downpayment that just shows you what a deal i got and on top of that shows how well these cars hold value. ALOT of car for the money. I cannot wait to get my drag pack on the car so i can actually hook. Not gonna launch much if any from a dig till i upgrade to a 1 piece ds i just wanna be able to hook from a roll. Car also has an 800 hp twin disc mccloud clutch not sure of i spelled that right lol. All the essential small mods that wake them up are done, 2.6 pulley, cj twin 65 tbody, jlt 123 cold air,offroad hpipe and borla stingers and it has been dyno tuned by pro dyno in sc. Seems to run awesome but i am gonna get it retuned by lund because i want an ngauge plus i am planning more mods in the future and ill need tuning. Lethal sells a tuning package with a lund tune and ngauge along with the wideband and 3 bar boost sensor that is needed on 07-10 gt500s for 1300 total. So it is a little more invested up front for the tune but not too bad considering how much less you pay for the car. Love these cars. I liked mine alot because the few mods it does have is exactly the stuff i would want anyways..like 4.10s, mgw, hpipe and borla stingers (literally my fav setup on these cars) the twin disc etc. Those are the exact parts i would have wanted anyways so it saved me alot of money in that regaurd too. Nice video with good info. Some people think the early models suck because they have less hp stock but theyre just as good considering how much less they can be had for and they really wake up with mods. The 07-09 feels raw as hell too i love it. More refined than new edges but more raw than the newer gt500s. It is a badass car.
Another great info video Andrew! These gt 500 are another favorite mustang of mine!
This has been very informative. I've got an 09 and am learning about it as much as I can absorb at a time. Huge difference from my 94 five-oh. Any recommendations for minor upgrades that don't violate my extended warranty?
Man.. looks like you made these cars, you got a lot of information. Great video and thanks for sharing!!
great video Andrew. Also the 07 had that mammoth crank pulley and if you do any mods you want to put on a 08-09 crank pulley.
Great video and information! Also nice "humble drag" thrown in there!
Just watched gt500 info video and thought it was awesome. I would love to see a video like this on the Boss 302 and some other special edition Mustangs
Awesome dude! I just bought a 2010 6-speed Shelby GT500 yesterday and have some questions. Hopefully when I get my inspection done, nothing pops up that's on the watch list of issues.
Love my GT500 for nine years. It stay in family for ever❤️
Exactly 💯, couldn’t care about the increase in value, I bought mine to pass on to my boy 👦
I just picked up a 2008 GT500 with 21k miles bone stock and garage kept its whole life and mint for $27k....Time to start modding! Haha. I love it and love creating vlogs with it
Awesome! Let me know if you need anything. I can hook you up with some parts
@@MustangLifestyleTV Thats awesome thanks! I'm definitely interested, what do you have? My first thoughts are lowering springs and a shifter. Of course there's a list a mile long to follow haha. You can email me at realsteelcars@gmail.com
Great info Andrew would like to wish you and your girl a happy Christmas, and good health. Stay safe in these time with covid.
Merry Christmas buddy
I just watch your video , i just bought a 2008 shelby gt 500 super snake 3k miles , being delv. sunday , bought at a dealership in oregon on their floor for 300 days , i would like for you to expand on the on gt 500 after super snake convers. , i gain some more knowledge on the gt 500 so thank you
Great video. I bought a 2014 GT500 last month. But I shared the video with a gal in the market for her own GT500. Love mine. Bone stock and staying that way.
Great video, here owner 07 GT500 VMP Gen2 664 rwhp, great for vlogs, pickup my 2020 C8 next week 😁
Great video! I just picked up a stock (minus the Borla Ataks 😎) 2011 25,000 mile GT500 in Kona Blue, stripe delete and performance pack for about $36k. Looks like I'll be ordering shifter and clutch to get rid of that 2nd gear grind!!!
You ever end up fixing that 2nd gear grind ?
Just payed 40k for my 08 gt500 🤯🤯.... but it only has 2k miles bone stock unmolested and still smells like a new car inside and still looks like one on the outside lol. Still has the sticker on the diff cover. So id say its worth the money
Wow you got a deal for tht for sure 2k miles is insane
Unmolested😂😂
How’s she treating you, How many miles u got on her now?
I can get my buddies 2012 Gt500 with 35k miles for $30k...worth it? What are the best mods per buck I can do? What power level can the stock block handle?
@@turboleggy absolutely that is worth it ecspecially in today's market people want that for bolt on 5.0s with similar miles lol. Far as mods simple bolt ons can gsin you over 100 rwhp without even trying. Intake exhaust pulley tune etc. Blower swap it and you can make up to 800+ on good fuel and tune stock motor. The 5.4 is a very strong motor it had less power stock than 5.8 mostly because of the smaller blower but once the blower is swapped power is comparable to the 5.8 for alot less money. They can all make 800 on stock motor but the 5.4 seems to hold up better at elevated power levels from what I've seen. If you ain't got that car and still can you need to jump on it. I wanted an 11-12 at first but found an 07 with 108 for 16500 pretty good shape I could not pass that up that is out of this world bang for the buck lol. Scooped me up a new gen3r to go on it for 3499 during black Friday. After I get injectors and boost a pumps it's going on this spring. Should be 750 rwhp range with 2.6 upper and stock lower with a small twin 65 tbody and stock exhaust manifolds on 93/boostane. Should see 20 psi. I'm going to build the motor in few years after the car is paid off and go cams and long tubes at the same time but until then I'm gonna roll with this setup. These cars rock! The 5.4 and 5.8 sound so sexy.
great video dude, you really know these cars.
Thanks for the information.
Nice colors 😎
Very nice, You should make one video like this for the 15-20 S550s
Totally enjoyed the video. Chevy guy, 07 Z06, however just bought a Ford pickup and I love it. Any thoughts on an 08 Super Snake? 26k miles. Thank you.
Keep up the knowledge!
We picked up a one owner 09 GT500 with 32,000 miles for 26K. Unbeknownst to the dealer, the original owner had taken it to GALPIN Autosports for some tweaking? The supercharger has been upgraded to a Whipple 2.9L with a 3" pulley, SVT Suspension handling pack, 3:73 gears, Mcleod RXT Twin disc, Shelby short shifter, Bassani axle back exhaust, Edelbrock panhard bar, Steeda lower trailing arms, Shelby carbon fiber splitter. We feel we did pretty good on this purchase.
got a really good deal
Any chance it was on a dyno....? Just curious - a friend just bought a 2010, with some steeda engine mods(plus suspension)and is 640whp with the 2.0supercharger. 🥃
Good info,Andrew! Thank you!!
Thank you, very informative!!
Love my 07 gt500, don't think I ever wanna upgrade to anything new
Greetings from Russia. We have 2-3 of them in Siberia. Due to the huge customs fees, we consider this car a luxury. LOL. An excellent, reliable horse, like all American cars! By the way, 2014 looks better than new.
Most American cars used to be reliable, but not anymore. However, these upper end muscle cars may be an exception.
Still love an 03-04! Good vid!
Great video Andrew
Just picked up my 2011 yesterday 840 hp, 810 tq, also mine has corsa extreme quad tips the 13-14 tail lights, bumper and diffuser withe the duck tail. Only way to tell it is not a 13-14 outside is the headlights.
Bought my 09 black stripe delete new. Still have it garage kept 19k on the odometer that's only 1600 miles a summer. Awesome car it's a keeper.
Good video man! I’m actually selling my 13 and I am the second owner. My engine bay is immaculate and it’s one of the cleaner ones out there. I daily drove it for a little while but the last 3 years it has been my garage Queen. The mileage is a little high at 40k but it has been babied ever since I picked it up in 2015.
Good job on the video Andrew. How's the knee coming along? Be great to see you hitting gears once again!
I am hoping to be able to start drive clutch within a couple weeks.
@@MustangLifestyleTV I remember when I was younger I had a torn meniscus(knee cartilage) and I had it scoped. Two weeks later the doctor checked me out and was amazed at how far along my healing and muscle tone had come in such a short time. When he asked me what I was doing with my leg, I replied, "simple...I drive a 5.0L Mustang 5 speed manual." Turns out that pushing that clutch pedal down is great therapy!
Great video! Very Informative.
Prices are up since this video. ...
i bought the 2011 GT500 black red stripe just under 12,000 miles $34k still like a new car all stock never one insurance claim against it fully serviced with brand new super car tires
Just bought a 13 GT500 with only 1,300 miles!! Track & performance package!
I've only ever driven my Sim set up since they never have any manuals in town to test drive because I have my eyes set on the 07 gt500
Thank you! Awesome video!
Had a 2009. Best car I've ever owned. Nothing broke. Nothing. Power? I could put it sideways if I punched it in 3rd. Prices had held steady - outdoing the V-12 Aston Martin.
I love my 2010, but it is the Bastard Child,, even getting parts, I Get No love ❤️ Great Video!!
I just wonder how my 69 428cj Mach1 4 speed with the shaker hood, that I had back in the early 70s, would have stacked up against one of these. Bone stock except for long tube headers. I never had it dynoed.
I street raced it and was never beat! Miss that car.
Great tips Andrew.😎🇨🇦
In one year your price suggestions are about 10k low now. Inflation sucks. FJB
I bought a 835hp 2014 GT500 2 years ago. It's got 16k miles and is immaculate inside and out. Fully loaded with every upgrade from the factory and an additional 25k invested in upgrades. It stands out even among other Shelby's for all the right reasons. Bought it with 9600 miles and got a GREAT deal.
Daaaamn nice find brother!
2009 Shelby GT500KR 16k, Black on Black, all original, 1 of 236 in black
Amazing how the prices have gone up so much in 1 year.
haha in late 2022...these prices are funny! You can't find a 2007-2009 under 35k (if you want something with decent miles).
Bought my 2008 GT500 with 44k miles on it for 32k. Has a lot of tastful mods on it and I love it!
Shelby rocks, thanks for an informative video u mustang wizard
Jus picked up a 12 gt500 for 50k with 3k miles and stock this video was great
Bad ass video! 07 GT5 owner here 🤓🤘🏼
Thinking about picking up a 2011 in good shape
I test drove one today was an 07 with only 2400 miles they want 42 for it and it drives like a beast
I love my 08. Bought it at 19. 750rwhp 90k miles car is still running like a champ. Those iron blocks may be heavy but they’re strong as fuck!! Also great to see all the 07-09 owners in here with high miles!
My '09 Torch Red GT500 had 3 miles on it when my "someday" came on June 20, 2009. 122,000+ daily driven miles later, she runs just as good as that very day I drove her off the lot...which I just calculated to be 4,335 days. My advice to anyone would be to stick to the scheduled maintenance recommendations.
@@vegasmobydick nice man i landed mine with 108k a year ago for 16500. Tie rod needed replaced and ebrake was broke other than that it was solid and still is. Performance white stripe delete it has blacked out headlights fogs 13-14 style tails and blacked out windows and is lowered on gunmetal 14 drag wheels 17 all around. Looks and sounds sick. Love this damn thing so much lol. Ppl are too afraid of miles imo and use that as the be all end all of car buying. Miles aint everything there is so much more to look at than just mileage. Just my. 02
Man you should race itsjusta6 that would be a good video to see
Carroll did say these cars were meant to be driven. Of course you want lower miles on any car but these cars can definitely be still amazing over 100k miles
Thanks for the reassurance. Just bought my '09 with 21k and plan on driving it daily. Was a little worried I was treating her wrong.
@@josephhein9497 look up the video of vmp putting a 2008 gt500 on a dyno that has 200k miles on it. Still makes stock power basically. Nothing wrong. As long as you take care of her she'll last
@@ericgarner6175 yea my 2007 had 108k bought it for 16500 its solid. Leaks a little oil but I plan on fixing that im going built motor in couple years or something so I will just keep an eye on oil levels till then she runs just fine and I don't pamper her lol. I've had it over a year and 8k miles zero issues and I beat on it every time I take it out. Already had rst and mgw so that helps. Basic bolt ons 550 rwhp through 410s. Only performance mod thus far has been rhe addition of an f14 drag pack 17s all around and 305 mickey et street r on the rear. These cars are tough they will hold up long as you maintain them properly. Dont be afraid to beat on em either they were meant to be driven hard.
Didn’t buy my ‘13 so some other dude can drive it
Great Video. I am currently looking at a 2011 with a 2.3 VMP blower, long tube headers, and high flow cats. Guy Claims it makes around 700 wheel. Is the stock 5.4 capable of running that much power long term and is the 2011 trans going to last?
Thanks!
Great job. All good information. Now that you own GT 350 it would be nice to hear about them.
TOTALLY AGREE
07 to 14 I feel is a attainable shelby hope they stay that way
leaned lots hope to upgrade to a 11 or 12 gt 500
I am looking at the 2011 or 2012 GT500s. As I write this my searches show them going for upper 30k to mid 40k for something with low miles. By that I meant under 25k for mileage. I did stumble on a 2010 GT500 in my area going for $33k with 23k mileage. I noticed it had the 2013/2014 supercharger on it. Anyone think this is a car to look at or should it be avoided? Just curious on thoughts.
hey i got a 2013 i got it a year ago its in ex condition grabber blue white strips its show room it has 1600 miles on it now i got it at 13000 only the only thing i didn't like was it did not have the rims that came with the car and i can't seem to get it to hook up its all over the place specially if you punch it i have to put wait in the trunk
Just got a 2014 gt500 with 6400 miles. Black with the red striping, 64,900. Yeah it is high but i got 74k for my 2017 z06 trade in. I must say this car is fun to drive. The z06 was sick but with the automatic, got kind of boring.
I still love my 07 GT500. Black with white stripes all original. Owned it from new with only 5,000 miles on it now, it still smells like new. My two boys also love the car. My dilemma is,which of my boys I’m going to give my car to or give it to my grandson when he’s older. What would you guys do ?
I have a triple black 14 500 with track pack option. purchased new, 7k on the clock. The point you miss is that this is the last car with Carrolls dna ever built...it's all about heritage...you can't buy heritage or fake it...the 13/14's are going up in value, especially if they are unmolested originals as mine is....thanks for this.
You right Jay have a 14 also with the park option also friend of my mind has an 19 and he loves driving mine. He ha s the automatic but and definitely value in our car is higher
Meant to say Pack lol bought it in 17 with 10,000 miles it has only 25k and good purchase
What was the last year where carroll shelby himself was a consultant? I heard it was 2013.
I have a 2010 with 719whp and 709T and went with it over the 2011-2012 because of the iron block. Everything else is the same as the 2011-2012. 2013-2014 blow up you would know that haha
My dream car is the 09 GT500 I’ve have ALWAYS wanted one! I know I’ll never be able to but I dream about it everyday
This has to be the best video about GT500's in the year 2020! *edit
Agreed
I'm surprised you didn't mention anything about the McLeod clutch pack. Superior to the SVT and more affordable. Anyway I enjoyed this review, extremely educational. I want to get a 07-09 Shelby, specifically because of the body style.
I hit two birds with one stone. Got an '09 for price and it is definitely my favorite body style of the new GT500s.
I mean 07-14 gt500's looks way better than the new ones atleast for me
Agree!
great video
The 07-09 to me still looks better
13gt500 owner ...
Yep. I prefer my '09 to the newer ones. The authentic style kind of disappeared.
@@josephhein9497 although the 13/14 and 07/09 look alike from afar depending on the color
@@mach183 In all honesty, I can't handle the fat rear-ends on the 10-14. They just got too chunky. The 07-09 look slim in contrast.
@@josephhein9497 I agree with this. The 07-09 looked a decent amount different vs a normal gt whereas the 10-14, looks more like a normal 5.0 and not as distinct. Still a badass car for sure but it'd not as differentiated styling wise imo.
Your my hero
I have a loaded with every option, Race Red/white stripes, '14 GT500 Convertible that I ordered new from a local dealership. I have all of the documentation that came with it including a "information sheet" from Ford telling how many were made and what number mine is. My car only has 2480 miles on it. Never been in the rain and adult owned. My children have never driven it. Considering selling it because I'm now 80 years old.
How much
@@illskilled1 $65000
please help im looking to buy a shelby gt500 mustang 1 is a white 2013 gt500 7k miles shaker audio... performance package..and track pack... other 1 is 2014 11k miles but my fav color red... no track pack no performance pack... my question is that are the track pack and performance pack needed if im not tracking and does the options help hold the value? from what i figure all the add ons from track pack like dif and oil cooler is just more crap to break down the road. can i get some opinions... do i go for looks or the track options... i realllllly like the race red! both gt500 im looking at have the same asking price
Can you still find the 13-14 GT500 in dealerships?
Not even in the market for a shelby but I still liked this style of the video
Thanks appreciate the feedback
2013-2014 GT500 is the best!!
they put out almost the same hp to the wheels as a terminator svt, 445 vs 420
Good video , but you missed gt 500 conv.
I wished this video existed before i bought my 07, have had nothing but problems out of it, and unfortunately stuck with the car as a paperweight now. Basically every problem you listed on the 07-09 my car has.
After one year, updates? GT500 are bullet proof. Hopefully your problems were fixed.
What’s the range for GT500KR 2008-2009?
Gee thanks I have a grabber blue 2010 gt500! LOL! So I'm probably gonna need some of your mechanical parental guidance most likely!!! LOL thanks for the info my Brother!
2010 are the best ones to mod all day
Wow in Canada the cheapest are like 40k CAD (32k usd) .. def does not seem like 20-30k usd range here
I think the 2013/14 GT500 is the best Shelby ever made. It has the best rear end of any modern mustang, already has a carbon fiber one piece driveshaft, painted side skirts, nicer and better front end, better suspension mods, it could actually take a track pretty well, better options like the set track pack wheels that look amazing, a 5.8 liter that is great as is..you'd have to throw a lot of money into a 11/12 to get it to be like a 13/14. Just get the 13/14. Best bang of the buck is the 07/09. They are all great.
There’s a 07 I’m looking at the dealerships asking 33k for it, it’s at 20k miles, that a good deal nowadays or should I look elsewhere ?
‘13 convertible with respectable mods, she’s a beauty standing still and untouchable on the road. Scream Queen!!!
Agreed with a lot of what you said except price. Add 5-10 grand to a lot of what you said and you would be right. I have a mint 08 gt 500 with 18k miles if anyone’s interested. It’s gray with black stripes
You are right about Price being higher than that I've looked at tons they're nowhere to be found even with 80,000 miles for that kind of money
@@scottbedsaul925 yeah. I sold mine for 25k but it has a rebuilt title. Still mint, but that’s a lot for a car with a rebuilt title
Spot-on. 07-09s in my area were going for 30-40k just a few weeks ago. Picked mine up for 34 with 21k miles. Glad to know I didn't get ripped off.
@@josephhein9497 prices are high right now. But all in all that dosnt sound like a bad deal
Local dealer has an 09 GT500 with 130k miles on it. No strut brace and intercooler reservoir was switched to aluminum. Inside and outside photos the car looks decent, but I'm leery it was probably pushed hard and modded. It's a used car dealer, so I'm sure they don't don't info on it.
If the car is in good condition and in good mechanical condition I would not worry about it. These things are built tough and they're strong as long as you perform routine maintenence on the car and take care of it it really don't matter much if it was ran hard you just gotta maintain it accordingly. They are def ruggedly built cars overall from to back and can withstand some abuse.
Pretty good video with all the common info on these. People tend to steer people away from 07-10 cars due to the lack of widebands. I am glad you pointed out that is not a big deal, because people for some reason feel like that is a big fail. lol
Sometimes I wish I had knock sensors to push pumpgas more, but I also have friends with knock sensors and they give false knock and always losing races and blaming false knock. So it can go either way.
The shifting in the TR6060 sucks major dick! First thing i will advise people to do is to dump whatever fluid they have and run Mobil1 ATF. It fixed all the bad low RPM and cold notchiness that this transmission exibits
The high rpm stuff alot of time has to do with clutch as we all know, but also drivetrain alignment and enginemovement. Get your drivetrain aligned (esp if you have a 1 piece DS) and add a CHE x brace bar up front with stabilizers so the trans cannot dip under load and your problems will be resolved! I added a WOTBox as well to fix this, but never even needed to use it since the other fixes worked
Good to know I’m gonna change my fluid ..
Good information. I'm curious about aligning the drivetrain. I purchased a salvage / rebuilt 07 GT500. I have pretty severe clutch hopp. The car came with a watts link setup in the rear end. With you mentioning drive train aligning I wonder if the impact might have caused an alignment issue this the hopp issue? I haven't bothered taking the clutch apart since everything works but have to say it's annoying. I usually have to up my RPM's from a standstill to get the car going without the shuttering from the rear end. It's not impossible but isn't normal. Someday I'd like to sell the car and fear that issue will hinder my results..
Carl Mazziotti the watts link wouldn’t cause any of that I don’t think.
My issues were due to driveshaft and upper control arm causing misalignment.
They clutch skip it likely due to clutch.
If it has a 1 piece DS, that is very common as well. Harsher clutch and solid driveshaft makes that worse
@@PMPerformance true. Clutch hopp is clutch hopp. Once I blow this clutch up I'll upgrade the clutch, flywheel, and the driveshaft. I'm also dealing with a crazy electrical issue shorting out all power, but only at 4k rpm. Dash, abs, all cycles. I think it's a faulty alternator or perhaps the wiring issue that the charging system had for that year. It was somewhat of a mistake buying a salvage GT500 but it sure is pretty!! Just gremlins that endlessly haunt..,..
Carl Mazziotti If it’s what I think you are referring to, again it’s common with heavier clutches abs drivetrains that have no give essentially.
Deff check the alternator. They are a common fail point and can size blown motors as well due to lack of voltage for important things like fuel pumps under load.
Gt500 KR IS THIS ONE GOOD ?
If you can make 700 to 800 wheel horsepower on 07-09s with weaker rods, then I think we're good to go!
Did you get it from Arlington toyota in jacksonville?
Yeah they suck lol
