Wish me luck owning a 2014 shelby guys❤️
I just got a 14 gt500 with only 10k. A month ago..I wasn't looking for one just came across it on fb marketplace. Sure I had to give up my other toys but it was well worth it. It'll find you. Just be ready to give up your first borne for it.
my dad has one
Are these cars not reliable ?
@@agentmartagentmart9122 I’ve been daily driving mine for years. I’ve put 75k plus on it and it’s sitting at 95k now. Had no real issues honestly.
I was in one yesterday, on my life these cars are no joke. I’ve never been in a car that pulls so hard like this 2014 Ford Shelby gt500. I absolutely felt in love with the adrenaline rush after a friend of mine smashed that throttle.
Couldn't agree more!
I have a 2013 SVT package with the classic ‘65 white and blue stripe paint. I don’t think I could ever love a car more. Horrible mileage, but so fun to drive. The funny thing is, it looks obviously very nice and it’s clearly a fast car, but I don’t get a whole lot of turning heads because the average person does not know just how much of a beast these things are. But then you’ll pull up next to another mustang and make eye contact at the light, and they’ll just shake their head like “no I’m not racing you bro.” I love it.
I’m on the same boat lol just picked up a 2013 myself.
Haha I have what you have plus the glass roof. God willing, never selling it
The 2014 500 is my dream car 🔥
Same here
Sameee bro
Same good luck owning one
Fuckin samee
Can’t argue with that, the design of s197’s remind me so much of 66-68 Mustangs👍👍👍👍
Great video, I love your honesty, knowledge and insight. Something I didn't mention in my previous comment, even though I just bought one of these today it is the second one I have had.
The first one I bought in 2016 and I had it for 4 years and I always beat on it hard and took it through the twisties and the track. It is not just a straight line car, it will take the turns as fast as the GT350 and it actually pulls more lateral G than a Porsche 911 Turbo of the same year model, if the driver is either brave or stupid enough to attempt it.
The thing is you have to get over the fear of death and terror of crashing the car. It isn't forgiving but once you learn to control the power (there is a marginal window of where you can feel the car is about to go out of control when you're putting the power down in a turn) you can push it to the edge and take the turns very fast and it is very rewarding to feel the approach of the grip limit of the car in the turn and control that massive power to make it do what you want.
Doing the same thing with the GT350 is like training a bloodhound to sit. It doesn't take much time or effort and it is fun to see, but like the dog, the GT350 is so smart and loyal that it will do whatever you want perfectly on command. It is nice, just not much of a thrill for me.
Controlling the GT500 and putting its power down in a turn is like training a Tyrannosaurus Rex to balance on a ball, terrifying, and just as rewarding.
I drove the GT350 once which was insanely easy to take fast in the turns, but I find the GT500 far more rewarding and fun because of the rawness and the fact that it takes a lot of skill to push the car fast and hard in the turns.
Though the GT350 does kill it in the looks departments. The GT500 looks great, just not as good as the GT350.
Again, loved the video, you know your trade.
I own a 2012 Convertible 5.4 Shelby. Love it. Will keep forever. Cost me $10,000 less than the 5.8
Enjoyed your video. Sticky rubber makes my 800 hp 13 GT500 way more manageable than the stock 662 hp with the awful OEM Goodyears.. That much power makes tire compound way more important than I ever knew. A good Nitto or Toyo drag/race compound will make this car hook and scoot, even in turns! Keep a set of Michelins Pilots for cooler weather when soft compounds won't hold heat. The 13-14 actually has a lot of aero built into it, starting at the front. It's tweaked to knock on the door of 200 mph. .
I love when you bring us along in the car for a ride! It really gives us that feel lol
thanks for watching this car is a blast
Honestly what a great review. Well done my friend.
Best review I have heard.Thank you.
What a beauty! Love the ride and talks 👍 wish I had garage space, I agree these cars will go up in value.
this car has a huge set of balls its so different from the GT350 but also a different type of fun that makes you act like a reckless teenager in it.
I own a '13 GT500 (see avatar pic). Picked up on 1/21/20. AMAZING beast. Last of the manual shelby's and car that Carroll had his touches on. Great video and these things are only going UP in value!
Thanks for sharing! Enjoy it
Same here just bought one last month. I’m Loving it!
More of that please!!
Really love this car. I recently let go of a 2012 Corvette Z06. I'm in my early 60s and have bad knees. Getting out of the Vette has become a bit difficult so I decided to get rid of it and buy something else. The 2013/2014 Shelby GT500 was on a very short list of cars I wanted. But I ended up going in a different direction and bought a 2013 Camaro ZL1 Convertible with 6,100 miles on it. That car was spotless. But I could have been very happy with a 2013/2014 GT500 had I found one of interest.
Great review! I've had a 2010 GT500, 2012 GT500 SVTPP and a new 2021 GT500 minus the carbon fiber package. I miss my 6 speed!
I completely agree with everything that you are saying
Really nice! Super entertaining to start up my morning before school
Glad you enjoyed it!
Miss my 2013 gt500 car was a blast !
I have always liked those rims too Phil !!!
Great video and spot on with your description/diff of the two cars. I just traded my immaculate Black 2009 GT500 with 11,000+ miles (had it for 3 years] in for a 2013 Black Boss 302 Laguna Seca with 4,500 miles. I thought about a GT350 but always thought the 302 LS version would be closer to a sports car experience while keeping one foot in the more muscle car experience of my GT500. When the Boss 302 LS popped up in the year and color with low miles I made the trade. Really loved my GT500 but the Laguna Seca takes it to another level and definitely achieved the more sports car experience. Having both the standard key and the track key is a bit like having two cars for me as well, nice bonus. I used AutoFanatic 007, Snow Storm and Wheel Cleaning Foam on the GT500 to maintain it and all I use on the Boss now as well, great products!
I did the same thing. I sold my 2011 GT500 for a 2013 Boss LS. The Boss just wins on paper, but I miss that supercharger whine sometimes.
I have a Boss 302 LS too and it is in it's own league. A very special car. Built in house by Ford Performance before SVT was renamed Ford Performance. The Canadian firm "Multimatic" did the grunt work and development of the Boss 302 starting in the early 2010's and the final versions of the street version benefitted from the lessons learned racing and developing the Boss 302R.
Enjoyed the ride. There are those of us who simply love the joy of DRIVING. I’m a big Mustang fan - Auto Fanatic appreciates that Ford is building a great car at a price point. Many reviewers ding Ford for not matching much more expensive cars as far as fit, finish and material - I love my Mustang GT PP1 for what it is - a great every day high performance FUN ride. As and added bonus the car is 100% reliable & maintenance costs are minimal. Best $50K I ever spent!
Well said!
My ‘13 convertible is a bad ass beauty. It’ll be passed on to my boy, high mileage and all! Retro cool looks, muscle car performance, super car numbers.
I’m sitting at 95k now and I got it from a personal friend at 20k. Engine and tranny have been fine. The rear end has been an issue but honestly it’s a cheap job. The car is just simple.
"not to loud" the very nice state trooper said he heard me before he saw me....hmmm 2014 Shelby and an old lady...made his day.
Great review! I have a 2013 GT500 that we brought to Germany. The car loves the autobahn. I've really toned it down after 3 years here, I'll usually keep the speed at a respectable 100-150 MPH. Once the tires warm up, it't a blast. It's only a summer car! I have a 2018 Ford Focus RS when the weather turns cold. We also just purchased a new Mach E but we haven't taken delivery due to a recall item.
Wow i can only imagine the GT500 on the autobahn must be truly a joy with the smooth roads and no speed limit.
@@autofanaticcars It is nice on the autobahns but there is so much construction that you can maybe drive 30 KM at most until you have to slow to 80-120 KM/H. If there is the slightest pothole, the road guy are there ASAP. I still, after 3 years here, feel uneasy when I pass the Polizei like they are standing still and they don't come after me.
Yea I love mine got it two years ago.
I love my '14! Its got the track pack, the power pack, and its deep impact blue with the matte black stripes. I've had it just over a year and it's the most fun you can have driving a car. Spot on with the review! You mentioned the steering feeling a bit loose, with the track pack the steering and suspension are adjustable with the push of a button. In sport mode, everything tightens up really nicely. The track pack also gives you a trans cooler, oil cooler, and rear diff cooler. Power pack gives you drilled and slotted rotors. You also noted that the rear tires break free really easily. Ford made a mistake with the factory Goodyear tires they opted for. Theyre terrible and switch those to R888Rs, Pilot Sport P2s or 3Ss will solve that for you. It will still break free if you want it too, or if you're not careful, but I've got 700whp on the 3Ss and dropping to 3rd at 60mph just hooks and books!
yes the tires that are on the car suck but we wanted to keep it all original for resale. the steering modes work ok but nothing like on the GT350 but the GT500 is a very enjoyable toy for sure I love it.
@@autofanaticcars I agree. The IRS and magnarides on the 350 are phenomenal. A friend of mine has a 350r and its a blast!
The '13/'14 is a beast for sure.
i bought my 2014 gt 500 2 years ago with 4000 mi. They are awesome.
Beautiful Mustang. Honestly may be best looking Mustang ever.
I have the same exact car but in red and white. Love it......
its a cool car man
You could make it a great southern california canyon carver with minor upgrades, Ford Racing Suspension or a Cortex set up. White Line Watts Link differential, plants the car rear end in corners on bumps centers differential. Part is about $1000 to $1,500 Cortex makes one as well. And of course 6 Piston Brembo Big Brake Kit, if the GT500 dosent come with it. Contential Dry and Wet Extremes, will make it corner pretty well using the hp climbing not in corners
The open grille reminds me of the old 427 Cobras
I Had So much fun with My 2013 GT 500, Make Sure They Build the Suspension in it, Because it Will be All Over the Place side to side, it was Cleaned just like that one, The only thing I did was Painted the Rear and Treated the Complete Car with Maintenance and use Synthetic Grease all Around, Same Color ImpactBlue,
I have a 2014, race red, white stripes Shelby GT500. Bought it new, original owner and at age 64 , I will never sell. Old school muscle is what I like
pls review Turtle Wax Redline wheel cleaner
my fav mustang
A 30 min of Auto Fanatic talking about mustangs? Yes please.
Nice glad you enjoyed it
I have a 2013 shelby 500 with only 1700 miles. I'm with you on the undervalued. I think they made total little over 4k 2013 to 2014.
Push button start is old school to .goes back to the early 50s and 60s.
Great observations. I went from a ‘13 Boss - to a ‘16 GT350 to my present ‘14 GT500. I was missing the “muscle car” feel. The GT350 was so good and predictable - that it almost became boring ... I know that might not make sense to many - but it was my personal experience. I got my 500 last year with 2900 miles. After 1000 miles since - it’s a thrill every time I drive it. I found that switching to Michelin PS4S tires (which come in stock wheel sizes) transformed the car into an incredibly safer performer when mashing the throttle. Not kidding - it was dangerous with the Goodyear’s - but a pleasure with the Michelin’s. I have no plans to sell this one ever!!
As I mentioned in this video its kinda what you already experienced how the newer cars are entirely different and are mostly a sports car than a muscle car. awesome yea the P4s really help put the power down the OEM Goodyears are scary on the public roads with any real throttle input. Enjoy it
Hi. I still have the stock tires on mine. Which would you recommend? My car is all stock, only plans are O/R h or x (I have both) jlt and a tune.
Theres a 2013 for sale locally with low miles .. thinking about it.
Beautiful car! And powerful 😆💪🏼
Yes indeed!
@@autofanaticcars messaged you on your website about the availability of the car, just curious if it is still for sale
My absolute dream car. I own a 2013 Mustang gt. Thriving for a beauty like this one you see here.
If you have the chance I would grab one. I’ve put 75k+ miles on my 2013 and it’s been rock solid. Also I’ve tracked it, as in HPDE, and I was sideways a lot but I held my own. The instructor absolutely loved it and after a hot lap at the end of the day was in love with it. I cam out of a BMW M2 and the driving is not that much worse and some of the squatting just feels like an old school muscle car. Idk it feels good.
1st thing loose the 200mph tires. Then you can drive in any weather. I run 295/40 /20 Atturo AZ800 rear @ 275/45/19 AZ800 on front.
The 14 gt500 is my dream car I need to learn stick better eventually I want one
Sold my ‘13 GHIG twin turbo Boss 302 for a ‘14 Shelby GT500. Your right, it’s a phenomenal driving experience. I upgraded to a 3.8 Whipple and 150mm TB 1300 injectors and dual fuel system. Corsa extreme headers and race exhaust. ( basically the Hennessy Venom pkg) The car still drives like a stock GT500 which I love but it came insane from the factory so… lol
It’s a great car. I love mine. Pushing 924 RWHP but drives very stock. Nice thorough video brother. I hope you’re health improves. I got shot in the spine (military) so I understand back pain. Bless ya bro. Be safe and thanks again.
924 on the stock motor?
Thank you for your service btw!
How do you like the Corsa Xtremes? I’m finally getting the itch to upgrade from stock on my 2013.
When you go to a red light. Change the gear to 1st when you stop on it, not when the light changes green.
Lol you say the 14 GT500 wasn't made to compete with anything coming out of Germany but it practically smoked everything on four wheels when it first came out. Even damn near a decade later it's still one of the fastest cars you can get on the market.
Spot on about this muscle car and the traction. but why so much hp if you can't use it? Can someone learn how to use that much hp with LRA?
I was about to get a 14 GT500 but ended up getting a 20 Stage 3 Roush… I understand what you mean about a car not scaring you… 750 HP and I can beat on it without a care… I’m thinking I may have not made the right decision! How much are you listing for?
Whats a good price for the gt500 with low miles seen alot for like 70k
My man, good review. I have a 14 triple black with 8k. I bought new. One thing you forgot to mention as far as value going forward...it's the last car Carroll had a say so.,.. heritage cannot be faked...this car has his dna all over it. Keeping mine until I can't drive anymore. I love my car, what a piece of automotive genius. Hey I'm in S. VT, like to stop by sometime neighbor, peace.
Hi Jay, I drive my GT500 SVT Track pack from Boston to Saratoga several times a year. Every time I drive from Bennington across to NY someone races me! You guys are hungry to drive fast up there, smoked everyone I raced rather easily I’d say. I’m sure you do the same.
@@gsmatt59
Yeah the Bennington posers are the worst, I'm just north in Manchester...bro, get to gethers at Hemmings all summer long...how bout it, love to meet you, peace.
Beautiful car
I love it
My ultimate dream car
Buy it this one is for sale contact direct if your interested.
Modded 2011 -2012 for me. 5.4 is more reliable at high boost.
Does this thing feel dangerous to drive / is it easy to break out the rear end? Because ive heard a lot about these cars
Phil, keep the GT350R! It's the reason so many people found your channel. I think you would miss it..I know I would.
I agree the issue is i stare at it mostly because driving it is very rough on my body with my recent injuries i hate seeing cars sit as you know I drive all of my car and drive then a lot.
@@autofanaticcars Do a seat swap in the GT350R. I have back issues and the stock seats in my 20' R bother me too. They don't have good back support.
@S2Kguy i was planning a seat swap for a year but the seats I want are the Sparco SPX which is an aftermarket version of the carbon Sparco seats in my Alfa QV which I love. My Alfa offers amazing comfort that I never get back discomfort for hours of driving. the issue is Sparco is so delayed you can not get the seats still and I called today. These seats have been MIA before the pandemic and continue to be which sucks.
@@autofanaticcars That makes sense. Have you considered a Recaro product? The stock seat is made to Ford's specs, which aren't great. But Recaro itself offers a wide variety of good seats. I have bought several Recaro seats for other vehicles and have never been disappointed.
GREAT DRIVE.... AND OVERVIEW--- 13-14 GT500 ARE THE MOST COLLECTABLE FOR THESE ERA'S. THE PRICES ARE GOING UP. $$$ / 3.5 - 0-60 / TOP SPEED 195-200 MPH
yeah i also see these cars holding value and increasing as years to come, just wait until the Shelby GT500 has a 2 cyl engine with battery booster pack lol
what is your asking price. I would say that your car is valued at 55K-62K in the NY area.
800hp is perfect in 2013-2014 gt500.
I just bought mine today from Hoffman Estates Acura dealership in Illinois. Now I am binge-watching GT500 videos till I take delivery.🐍
Enjoy! I just posted a new GT500 video on this channel two weeks ago so check that one out as well.
@@autofanaticcars will do. Glad I found your channel
Don't these have traction control?
Love 💕 car
My 14 Shelby has 50 miles on it. Black with white stripes with perf pkg.
you need to drive it the car is not going to increase in value anymore right now so enjoy it while you can.
the best looking Shelby GT 500
yeah this car is amazing and in the perfect spec
You left out that 13/14 was the last of the convertible gt500s
I would like to see how these would do with the modern DCT transmission in it
doesn't exist buy a new Gen GT500 the older ones are true modern interpretations of Muscle Cars
@@autofanaticcars Yes I know that being that I have one. But I would still be curious to see how they would run with that automatic.
I would love to have that car
contact me if your in he market for one.
@@autofanaticcars I will be in the market soon for a (hopefully) slightly used 2020 GT350. What websites do you suggest I search in once I’m ready? Thanks!
Phil, try and get your hands on a LFA !
that will be almost impossible to find one of those these days
@@autofanaticcars actually found one a couple weeks ago on auto tempts they wanted 500k for the darn thing but man!
Ah yes, the last manual gt500. It is still the most powerful manual mustang ever built from the factory.
How much do want for it
Nutting like an s197 boss 302 gt gt500
I owned a 2016 Shelby GT350 and now I own a 2014 Shelby GT500 I will take the 2014 over the 2016 any day!!!
Same exact deal for me. I agree 100%.
understand OG isn't carrying the kranzle cart any more... any chance you'll offer it 🤷🏻♂️
we can not source the casters anymore for those plus they are very time consuming to do a one off.
@@autofanaticcars damn shame thanks
Under the radar, prices are going up 50k in California for 50,000 miles and under. Would only buy at Ford Dealership.....worth it ....otherwise you could by new at 100k....2014 with 660hp is good enough
I'm gonna sell my house, wife and three cars I own and get this beast. A friend of mine got a 2021 Porsche 911TS & he keeps calling it a supercar. I tell him no it's considered a sports car. Kinda pisses him off...lol. What do you consider it as?
Unless a car can scare you to death with power and lack of grip i would not call it a supercar ha ha ha
I have a grey red strip 2014 shelby GT500
Am i an idiot for trading in my 2017 z06 for a 2014 gt 500? It has 6400 miles on it. Black with red striping. Loaded out. I must say, this gt500 is a blast to drive.
the GT500 is way more fun and practical to drive enjoy it.
@@autofanaticcars it is a blast! Thank you 🤘
Great but my GT350 and my other cars are enough for now 😉
Fair enough!
One day
Have you sold the gt500?
no longer for sale
I'm always baffled at the number of people in these UA-cam comment section who seem to just buy, trade up, and switch out $60,000 cars like this like it's no biggy. And then also own multiple of them! Where are you UA-cam commenters getting this money from? 😆
If you wanna feel what it's like to drive like a lunatic. Come to GA and let me know. I'll take you for a ride in mine.
Is it for sale???
yes it is please contact direct to discuss
Is the car sold?
it is not sold but we have a deal we are working on presently.
I drive my 2014 in the snow lol
This car feels powerful to you because you drive the gt350!!!! That thing is dead down low.
That car should have the double chin spoiler or front splitter whatever people like to call it. I own a 2014 Shelby GT500 with 13,000 miles white with blue stripes opposite of yours. My friends give me hell because it just sits in my garage covered up.lol
ha ha ha at least you still have it. its not easy using the toys these days
Use it. Shame. It’s like keeping your girlfriend hidden in the closet only for the next guy to bang the crap outta her.
Still have it for sale
I'd love to buy her, you're making me regret buying my house instead.
Same buddy
20 yrs old right now. I'll probably get this car and a house by the time im 28
Just keep saving bruh. I’m 25 with a 2013 gt500.
The 2014
I just bought one with 1,057 miles.
sweet what color did you get?
I know these S550s always bring up the track, but how many actually go to the track? If they do, how much? This car can actually be enjoyed on a daily basis in an old school, fun way. The GT350 has an incredibly unreliable engine and I'm surprised people still buy those.
your reading too many forums on the GT350 being unreliable, almost everyone with issues ignored low oil levels, used cheap oil and extended time between changes or modified their engines all 3 of these are culprits to engine failures. I daily drove a GT350 for 3 years not a single issue.
@@autofanaticcars I agree with you halfway, but the last time I got my oil changed in my F150, the dealer owner's GT350 was getting his second engine. It's the only car I've heard of where people go through engines regularly. He said he loved his car but they aren't designed for high mileage, as in over 10k miles. His words not mine.
the GT350 motors are pure race motors, high compression high vibration and require lots of upkeep just as if an engine was being used in a race after the race the entire motor gets torn down and rebuilt, you gotta change and check the oil and keep on top of these cars, never rev when they are cold and treat them as a race engine supposed to be treated. this is what most owners do not understand and Kaboom! I use the best oil in mine Amsoil Signature and change oil ever 2500-3000 miles and always before and after a track event. these dealers telling you to change oil at 10k is the worst information to give for any car with a race derived engine it is ridiculous but I guess Ford likes wasting their money on warranty. Even the GT500 needs lots of upkeep they foul plugs so often and constantly need tune ups to keep them running properly. I just did a complete overhaul on the 2014 GT500
@@autofanaticcars That's true. These aren't some truck, there is a lot of upkeep with them. That's why I never buy used from a dealer with sports cars. I want to see who they belonged to.
I seriously want to sell my mustang GT and buy a Shelby.
Do it
Why are you letting the alfa go?! :( damn that's my favorite car that you have !
I want another one in red or possibly the Maserati MC20 is its attainable but now the dealer is telling me it would be 6+ months until I can get another one. I love my Alfa Romeo QV
@@autofanaticcars Ohh I see , well GLWS :)
@@autofanaticcars That's a great choice, beautiful car as well !!
What did this sell for?
we kept it
@@autofanaticcars dont blame you.
Did this car sell??
on Ebay listed for sale
@@autofanaticcars I’ll probably be in the market in 9-12 months. I’ll be looking for this blue w/ white stripes or ruby red w/ black stripes. With so many places to search on the internet, do you suggest looking on any sites other than BaT, Autotrader, and eBay? Thanks!
Ahh, the 30k widow maker
What do your neighbors think about the burnouts?
they do the same lots of mega HP cars on my block
The 2014 GT500 looks better to me!!Put cup 2 tires on it,and a watt link and that 14 GT500 would be alot better!!
such a fun car
I was going to send you a link to this video. I know you commented on my GT500 video’s in the past and you are the first person I thought of, I am still watching this video now and can’t wait for him to do the driving part.
@@autofanaticcars yes they are,i have a 2014 GT500,track pack,and performance pack.Its in the shop,when done,i should have 900hp to the tires.
OMG that must be nuts how do you keep it on the ground are you running drag radials or bigger rubber out back?
@@autofanaticcars The car is in the shop right now to get the 900hp to the tire.Before it went in,I had 750 to the tire.I got aftermarket rims,295/30/20 up front,and 325/30/20 out back ,CUP 2 tires.I roll race,not really into drag racing.I have been at 185,with plenty left to go past 200mph.When it is done,i will hit you up.
No kidding. Back in the day no cell phones an not as many cars an cops on the road.u cud raise some hell back then.now it's not even worth the risk. My mistake back then was I didn't know u cud lose your license for points.all the speeding an donuts in the McDonald's parking lot.an ect.i lost my license for 3 years! Now people say I drive like an old man.lets say it made an impression.
2022 my goal is to get a all black 2014 🙏😭
Nothing old and dated about a 14 gt500, a pulley change and one could easily be at 700 crank hp.
He's talking about the suspension/drivetrain components not the power. It's on a live rear axle plus it has the ride height of a pickup truck, not to mention the super dated looking plastic interior. It's a sweet car that I'd personally love to own but it does have dated parts.
