Porsche 911 GT3 RS 155:57 2020 Ford GT500 non CFTP 155:72 Fun facts: -By the first turn the Ford was 20 feet ahead of the Porche. -By turn 8 the Porche GT3 was 70 feet behind the Ford Mustang. -There are 17 turns on the track...

My opinion Had Randy not got out of shape and have to correct toward the end of the run in the GT500.... it would have won. Either way, the Ford clearly proved itself and dropped some jaws from Porsche owners and many others on this day. Thanks for posting all the times!
I am absolutely in love with the brand new 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, I have been a very big and long term Ford fan and enthusiast for Shelby American's work on these cars and it's honestly just awesome to see how well the new 2020 Shelby GT500 CFTP performs on the S550 Mustang platform and I couldn't be any happier with it. Thanks for the Hotlap and review on this monster MotorTrend.
Picked up my shadow black 2020 GT 500 on 2/2/21 and I enjoy driving it more than my 2016 z06 and I never thought I would say that. The GT 500 is so planted around corners with so much confidence and then pulls so much power when needed it is a drivers car more than a corvette plain and simple...fantastic job Ford Performance.
@@VanishPenguin yes and they come straight from the factory like that. Your point is what exactly? Some of GM cars also come equipped with them from factory.
Absolutely love my Shelby GT500! Straight line power when you need it but the fact that it can corner and stop as well as it can is the best thing about it!
I must have one of these one day. Ford/Shelby have really out done themselves this time. Would really like to see it up against a A10 ZL1 1LE Camaro though.
@@McFly2015AD yes, the original Mustang was simply a Falcon with a nicer looking coupe body. A marketing exercise really. Fun fact: there's been a bit of development since then.
Yeah. Chevy should also step into that territory with a LT2 Camaro. With a resurrected name such as the IrocZ or such. Would definitely be a buyer of such a car.
Lets remind ourselves of the last generation GT500 numbers. The 2013-2014 GT500 was advertised with 662hp out of a 5.8L engine. Fast foward to the 2020 GT500, it advertises 760hp out of...just a 5.2L. I'm impressed. That literage reminds me of the GT350 they put out a few short years ago. I cant recall the exact HP numbers but was skyward of 520+hp....that is also naturally aspirated. That number harks back at the 2005-09 era GT500's but with a supercharged 5.4L. Now we can get those numbers without a supercharger and smaller. Pretty amazing to me.
Horsepower has definitely increased a lot in the past few years, though I feel like we may reach a soft plateau in the coming years due to stricter CAFE standards.
GT350r BDC: 2nd (To a Porsche) GT350 BDC: 2nd (To a Lambo) GT500 v Corvette: Doesn't pick a winner (GT500) for fear of angering the Corvette Mafia GT500 BDC: 2nd (To a boring Lambo) Proof that Motor Trend is lying about BDC not being a numbers game.
I just love 2020 Shelby GT500 🐍 Also my favourite/dream car. Those Chevrolet girls crying at background just tryna comment and prove ZL1 1LE is better than GT500 is stupid lol
@@DatW268 They just can't stand it and kept denying that the 2020 GT500 could handle based off 2013 -14 solid axle limitations. They failed to consider the goods in the new Shelby and kept talking it down based on previous versions. Well.... the GT500 smoked the new C8 and is faster than the ZL1! Shelby is also over 4 seconds faster from 0-150 than the ZL1 1LE according to Car and Driver.
Yeah, it's annoying how many use the weight as excuse to doubt it's track abilities. Remember, this is a 10 second car unlike the Camaro ZL1 1LE. Plus, it has a dual clutch transmission which makes it quite unique in it's own way. First pony car to ever have a dual clutch transmission.
Haha true all of you chevy guys should now see the difference, the shelby mustangs are always better than camaros 😂. The sound is awesome and it is a 10 sec car.
I just live for these videos. Absolutely a joy to watch. I love all of the cars. I think people are forgetting, or maybe, just not wanting to accept, that this is a Mustang! I will start it again! A Mustang! Yes, Shelby etc, but when a Mustang, makes Ferrari, Porsche, Corvette, Lamborghini owners/drivers, plus on the track, fear and EXCUSES. This is a front engine, rear drive, USA, Mustang, a car known, as just, a muscle car, making iconic cars, drivers. Owners sweat bullets and a monster at Laguna…a Mustang. I think the key takeaway here, with no disrespect to anyone, reading most comments, loving the video, Randy in heaven, that these are not, just, muscle cars anymore. This, is not Ford/Dodge/Chevy, with more Camaro in this class, versus each other, but collectively, versus iconic cars of the world. If somebody told me, that iconic cars, that I love, iconic brands I love, would sweat years later against a muscle car, any, muscle car, even in the name, that is absolutely amazing and a new rightful title, not being the correct one, but Muscle Racing Cars and not just the Mustang. No more straight ahead only. Bring on all comers, at the track, including, Chevy and Dodge, available at dealerships, not some ultra special order, or crazy aftermarket super company offering (Shelby I know). I could have never imagined any Camaro, Challenger, Mustang, pushing icons to up the stakes. Good on Detroit, thinking, Muscle Car Home. All this, for the price against supercars, that were super cars to begin with! Wow! I am not disagreeing with anyone! Just, a Mustang, any Mustang, on a race track and not limited to taking on, just other Muscle Cars. Making excuses for a Vette, is begging Ford to bring in the new refined Ford GT then (doesn’t exist), but, go muscle cars, hating on nothing, nobody, or any cars listed, loving them all. Not a rebuttal. Just, muscle cars are not just muscle cars anymore, not just the Mustang, amazing. If it would have been a new Ford GT, fine, no surprise, but a Mustang, any Mustang. I would say the same for a Camaro or Challenger, as they are monsters. Just an opinion. Muscle Cars refined, for sure. Keep in mind, I would take any of these cars and winning lesson from Randy would be the best. All the best to all!
Great video! Many years ago the Nissan GT-R shocked the world about how a 1.800kg car can be so fast. Now the Ford GT 500 do the same only with rwd. How a +2000kg can be so fast on the track?
Its easy to see why Randy Pobst keeps giving Ford performance high praise when we look at his comments from driving the previous generation GT500. Ford appearantly listened to every word Pobst had to say... which wasn't stellar. Randy didn't like the feel of the brakes and the solid axle along with outdated suspension... which was a hindrance to getting power down. When asked what more he'd like Randy stated (jokingly?) he'd like another hundred h.p. on top of the 662 it put out. It took six years but Ford listened and this current GT500 is the result. This is why we keep hearing Randy say...."Ford should be proud"! He means it too.
I'm super confused when the full best driver's car is going to be released and on which platform? There's no 2020 best driver cars videos in the On Demand app
I know Laguna Seca by heart from endless hours playing Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec... I'm watching Randy and in my mind I'm like "ok start braking NOW....here comes the corkscrew...ok you can open it up here--floor it.." LOL.
People saying the C8 was a base lol it’s a MID ENGINE $100k car…This front engine, 2 ton pony car beat it. That’s all there is to say…It’s impressive! End of story. Have to give the GT500 and Shelby team a lot of credit to get that caliber of time on a road course!
@@ACMEpowersports The gt500 already has really high dealer mark up suggesting its undervalued. Also ford is gonna stop making the gt500 and gt350 making this the last generation. So, I think this car will hold its value well (especially the cftp version) it may even reach future classic status.
@@burgerbandit3646 The Porsche could tick of that lap time all day. Over and over and over. GT500 Is a performance value car. A very good value car. Just don’t tell me they are built to the same standards. I had a GT350R. You don’t want to know about the build quality and what I had to deal. Flat plane crank V8 was a gem however. You get what you pay for guys.
@@brammicky9514 It will only because of its limited supply. If that car was made in unlimited numbers it would not hold its value. It’s a whole lotta car for the money for sure. It’s 4000lbs with all kinds of tricks to hide it’s weight! It’s fast as snot but it’s still 2 seconds a lap slower than Porsche’s Grand Touring car. Money notwithstanding would you take the Shelby or a Porsche 3RS or 2RS?
That car is awesome! About a half second faster than the zl1 1le manual. and up 110hp. Still surprised how much slower the vette was. So amazing how fast these cars are on the track! Put me behind the wheel i be lucky to do 2 min lap!
@@avinavpradhan3829 nope its only faster than the manual transmission camaro. A 10 speed zl1 1le is faster than the GT500 CFTP. Manual version did it in 1:34:30 so less than half a second difference. Plus camaro zl1 1le is on sale for $65,000 versus more than $100,000 for the GT500!
c8 atm being base model has 260 less hp, bring out a vette with say around 700hp. Forgot video i watched on track that stang only beat c8 by 1.5 or so seconds and that was cause straights, in all the corners the c8 was beating it.
@@hecrod5429 that is true, but the GT500 CFTP is a true track car with much more power, while the C8 is an all around sports car. When the Z06 and ZR1 come out, they will win, which makes sense. But I still love the Shelby it’s a great car
To me being a full sized car before and be able to beat most cars around and down a track makes it the ultimate car. To think you can do a few minor mods and a tune for under 20k and make 1150whp
I love the video, the comment, all of it, but I am constantly asked this, so just throwing it in. The BMW M3, owned the best time at Laguna Seca, for a long time. Great car! There is a documentary, of the creation, of the Boss 302, back in about 2011, I think. Open creation, from scratch, to beat that time, but make the Mustang, a pony car, straight line, to lap quality car, open to input and 3 persons were invited for creation. The first, was the original Boss 302 Racing Champion, from back in the day, a NASCAR driver andF1 driver. After every couple of laps, they offered suggestions and those kept happening, until, they were satisfied. It murdered the record time. I guess so. Carroll Shelby wanted to try it, as a guest, really, showing up, interested and was afforded the opportunity to try it out. Deservingly so! He was, so in shock, called it the Best Mustang ever, actually, a racing car, that should not be allowed to be purchased from a dealership. I don’t disagree. He wanted his name on it, it was thought about, he said it was only, to say, that it was the best Mustang ever, not, a Shelby Mustang. Fine. That evoked into the Shelby 350 (R), in 2016, I think, then evolved into this, the GT500. I did not know that the 350 and 500, back in the day, were the distance, in feet, produced, from the regular Mustang production facility. I am just asked so often, loving all cars, but a known Mustang lover, who isn’t a Dodge/Chevy hater. I like cars. Is the 2016 the same, as the 2011, or 2012, no, but the thought process was there, from 2011, or so, then this, with the same idea in mind. I am only adding this, asked, so many times and loving cars and Mustangs, there is never enough videos and this one great. If you know, that is great, I don’t know it all, far from it, just asked a lot. If you learned one thing, great. I am always looking to learn, about cars in general, loving them all. Great video, as usual! All the best to all! Be safe!
Now we know the GT500 can beat ZL1 1LE at Laguna Sega, but how about at Nurburgring? Very excited for it rolling around at Nurburgring and beat other Sports Car. GT500 is the best! Nice job Randy!
ZL1 1LE that was tested in 2018 was a manual transmission. The difference is 0.46 seconds. 10 speed auto 1le has surpassed GT500 CFTP on every other tests, including car and driver, throttle house lap times. I don’t know why people think the GT500 is all holy grail. You are paying almost $100,000 for it and can not even beat a $65,000 camaro with more than 100 hp less horsepower. Let’s talk about the reality and facts here. You can go online and find a 10 speed auto ZL1 1LE for $65,000.
@@al151 What? The Shelby was over 4 seconds faster from 0-150 mph then the 1LE from Car and Driver test. Randy Pobst owns a Camaro and says that the GT500 is faster around the track. Throttle house and Edmunds both had mixed results. At Edmunds the GT500 walked away from both Hellcat redeye and Camaro. Car and Driver picked the Camaro.... not because it was faster but rather based their decision on the Camaro "being a better bargain." ..... Not better performance.
@@richardmodglin3900 In almost all cases where the GT500 lost, it had old tires. I'm not saying that to sound defensive, many of the reviewers even admitted the GT500 would be faster with new tires.
@@joshjlmgproductions3313 Yes, Randy Pobst said it too after the hot laps between Camaro and GT500. He noted that the tires on the Shelby were cooked snd Said that the GT500 could beat the 1LE with fresh tires.
As fast as the GT500 is, you can clearly tell Randy was having more fun in the GT350 he lapped last year, and the 350R in 2016. Goes to show how special the 350 really was.
Wonder how the ZL1 1LE auto10 will do. 1.34.30 in a manual ZL1 1LE vs 1.33.84 in a DCT GT500. Motor Trend should bring them both, plus the C8, and do a shootout
Yeah, on the regular ZL1 non 1LE, they did a track comparison between the 6 speed and 10 speed and the 10 was faster. They definitely should try that 10 speed 1LE from 2019-2021 and do a head 2 head between the two.
Honestly, all they need to do is Put Michelin Cup 2s on the ZL1-1LE and it will beat the GT500 around Laguna Seca!!. With 110HP less Horsepower, a Manual Transmission, and Inferior track tires (Goodyear Eagle F1 R) the Camaro was only 0.46 secs slower around Laguna Seca... the difference is in the tires! not only that. i can buy a Zl1-1LE for 67k brand new from the dealer. while the GT500 is 93K MSRP(Carbon Track Edition) let alone finding one less than $100k from a dealer. This is comming from a Shelby Owner. either Supercharge a GT350 or just buy a ZL1-1LE. either way you will save at least $20-$25 Grand and have an Superior car!
@@darwinLee81283 Yeah. I am a Camaro owner but personally I would go GT500 non CFTP for daily drivability. I don’t know, I love both but the 1LE ZL1 just looks too extreme for me. Same for the base ZL1 since that’s just a Supercharged SS 1LE which is also too extreme for me. Currently I drive an i4 1LE Camaro which also is becoming a headache so I might go GT500 soon. Or a SS, not sure yet.
@@azimy9388 I Feel you brother! it will be a sweet ride. I love the Shelby's Trust me. i just with they didnt have to add so much weight to this car. 760hp is awesome. but 4220lbs is not awesome at all for a sports car. weight is everything
Great time for sure. I am a Stang guy. But, very impressive for the ZL1 1LE, which was a manual, to be only half a second slower than this DCT equipped car. And the Z has 110 less hp.
Im going to have to agree the zl1 1le was crazy and this thing beat it is insane I would honestly like to see a race between this and the zl1 1le to see who wins
4225 POUNDS with 56% front weight distribution...truly is an amazing feat to run that time because that car is a fat pig. Front tires and brakes for days if you track that thing.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS
155:57
2020 Ford GT500 non CFTP

Fun facts:
-By the first turn the Ford was 20 feet ahead of the Porche.
-By turn 8 the Porche GT3 was 70 feet behind the Ford Mustang.
-There are 17 turns on the track...
Whats that I hear that the GT500 can't handle?
-The Porsche GT3 led the Ford Mustang GT500 for less than 16 seconds of the 2 minute lap.
My opinion
Had Randy not got out of shape and have to correct toward the end of the run in the GT500.... it would have won. Either way, the Ford clearly proved itself and dropped some jaws from Porsche owners and many others on this day.
Thanks for posting all the times!

769 HP in that GT500, I need this car in my life, for real.
I need it at my garage too, 2020 Shelby GT500 is my favorite/dream car 🐍
760*
wait for the S650 chassis, may be we get a hybrid awd mustang, it'll lose the genes, but it'll be faster
Just got one, you can do it!
I am absolutely in love with the brand new 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, I have been a very big and long term Ford fan and enthusiast for Shelby American's work on these cars and it's honestly just awesome to see how well the new 2020 Shelby GT500 CFTP performs on the S550 Mustang platform and I couldn't be any happier with it. Thanks for the Hotlap and review on this monster MotorTrend.
almost hit 1.5G from Mustang Shelby, what a car!
I'm sure it pegged the meter and 1.5 was max so it was doing more I bet
@Matt HH 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Joe Smith But its coming.
It just did 1.11gs over at Edmunds.
@@gsppufferit hits 1.3💀💀
Picked up my shadow black 2020 GT 500 on 2/2/21 and I enjoy driving it more than my 2016 z06 and I never thought I would say that. The GT 500 is so planted around corners with so much confidence and then pulls so much power when needed it is a drivers car more than a corvette plain and simple...fantastic job Ford Performance.
Wow, congratulations on owning this Track Monster! Hope you will take a good care of it!
For the first time, I'm impressed with GT500 and its track capability!!!.
It is on Cup tires
@@VanishPenguin Yes it's on track as well 😃
@@VanishPenguin yes and they come straight from the factory like that. Your point is what exactly? Some of GM cars also come equipped with them from factory.

Exactly.
@@markball7028 just Chevy boys tryna find any excuse 😂😂
Absolutely love my Shelby GT500! Straight line power when you need it but the fact that it can corner and stop as well as it can is the best thing about it!
I helped make that car in Flat Rock, MI
If you did, thank you!
You did a fine job, sir! Love it when American workers build world class stuff.
Thank you for your service, good sir. We are truly blessed.
I’m a Chevy guy but I must say, sir, you created a masterpiece!
You have a spot guaranteed for you in heaven
this car is faster than an R8, 570s, gtr nismo, and lambo avantador around a track.
And it is a muscle car
They are not supposed to be good in a corner
@@Dan-kz6dz well.....it is and isn't. Ford aimed it to be a pony/sports car. Not a muscle car.

@@arbiter1 still I will choose the shelby gt500 over c8 every day because its a great car.

I love that color. Grabber Lime will always be an awesome color. It fits perfectly with a car that's just as awesome
Wow, what a performance...shouldn't be surprised but am impressed non-the-less. Congrats to Ford and really good drive Randy!!
The fact that it performed better than the z51 has me all smiles
It's a base c8 and don't believe the hype unless it's a z06
I must have one of these one day. Ford/Shelby have really out done themselves this time. Would really like to see it up against a A10 ZL1 1LE Camaro though.
I think that did 1:34:30 the last time tested
What GM needs to do is put the LT5 in the ZL1.
@@Keagan-Z06 that was the 18' model that was manual only.
@@EdMiF Agreed...that would be incredible! It would fit!
Come on guy..... you know it would lose to a auto zl1 1le...... Ford is a step above dodge but years behind Chevy.
Mr shelby is looking down and smiling
Fun fact: When Ford asked Shelby if he could make a racing version of the 1965 Mustang he said, "I don't know, that's a secretary's car".
Smiling at the back of the c8😂
@@McFly2015AD yes, the original Mustang was simply a Falcon with a nicer looking coupe body. A marketing exercise really.
Fun fact: there's been a bit of development since then.
@@johnstevens7643 let me introduce you to the GT500 and the GT350 R. Those two cars can smoke the C8 vette without any trouble.
@@johnstevens7643 its legit 4 secs faster then the c8...
For a stock car with that amount of power at the price is just astonishing
Thank you Henry Ford, Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles! You are the Legend why Mustang and GT is born!
Don't ever forget Phil Remington. He was the mad scientist behind all of Shelby's fabrication magic.
Love the Mustang, I just want a 2021 Mach 1 next year
Yeah. Chevy should also step into that territory with a LT2 Camaro. With a resurrected name such as the IrocZ or such. Would definitely be a buyer of such a car.
@@azimy9388 or the Z-28 name again
The only way they could get me to buy them is if it was a production version of the 1400
God Bless Randy Pobst! The best tester in car performance!
Lets remind ourselves of the last generation GT500 numbers. The 2013-2014 GT500 was advertised with 662hp out of a 5.8L engine. Fast foward to the 2020 GT500, it advertises 760hp out of...just a 5.2L. I'm impressed. That literage reminds me of the GT350 they put out a few short years ago. I cant recall the exact HP numbers but was skyward of 520+hp....that is also naturally aspirated. That number harks back at the 2005-09 era GT500's but with a supercharged 5.4L. Now we can get those numbers without a supercharger and smaller. Pretty amazing to me.
Horsepower has definitely increased a lot in the past few years, though I feel like we may reach a soft plateau in the coming years due to stricter CAFE standards.
Watch this and the Huracan side by side.. Super impressed that this was right there with it the entire lap!
Shelby is monster💪💥
I watched all the videos this year, this is the one I want to take home.
GT350r BDC: 2nd (To a Porsche)
GT350 BDC: 2nd (To a Lambo)
GT500 v Corvette: Doesn't pick a winner (GT500) for fear of angering the Corvette Mafia
GT500 BDC: 2nd (To a boring Lambo)
Proof that Motor Trend is lying about BDC not being a numbers game.
This should have won best driver car
I love that Ford performance 💪. Great time to be a car guy
a ford guy*
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! GREAT VIDEO RANDY !!!
Had to buy one. Great video. Thanks, D.
Great video !!!!1 Ford did their homework and it paid off big time !!!!! I LOVE GREEN PAINT !!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
What? The GT500 beats the Camaro's time and some of you want to claim its the tires that did it? Ha ha ha ha ha! Lol. This settles it. Shelby is King!
I just love 2020 Shelby GT500 🐍
Also my favourite/dream car.
Those Chevrolet girls crying at background just tryna comment and prove ZL1 1LE is better than GT500 is stupid lol
@@DatW268
They just can't stand it and kept denying that the 2020 GT500 could handle based off 2013 -14 solid axle limitations. They failed to consider the goods in the new Shelby and kept talking it down based on previous versions. Well.... the GT500 smoked the new C8 and is faster than the ZL1! Shelby is also over 4 seconds faster from 0-150 than the ZL1 1LE according to Car and Driver.
Yeah, it's annoying how many use the weight as excuse to doubt it's track abilities. Remember, this is a 10 second car unlike the Camaro ZL1 1LE. Plus, it has a dual clutch transmission which makes it quite unique in it's own way. First pony car to ever have a dual clutch transmission.
Haha true all of you chevy guys should now see the difference, the shelby mustangs are always better than camaros 😂. The sound is awesome and it is a 10 sec car.
The Camaro has 100 less HP and it was 1 sec slower 🤷 sounds like Ford failed to me 😂
What a beast of a car.
Let me add this to my 2021 wish list
I just live for these videos. Absolutely a joy to watch. I love all of the cars. I think people are forgetting, or maybe, just not wanting to accept, that this is a Mustang! I will start it again! A Mustang! Yes, Shelby etc, but when a Mustang, makes Ferrari, Porsche, Corvette, Lamborghini owners/drivers, plus on the track, fear and EXCUSES. This is a front engine, rear drive, USA, Mustang, a car known, as just, a muscle car, making iconic cars, drivers. Owners sweat bullets and a monster at Laguna…a Mustang. I think the key takeaway here, with no disrespect to anyone, reading most comments, loving the video, Randy in heaven, that these are not, just, muscle cars anymore. This, is not Ford/Dodge/Chevy, with more Camaro in this class, versus each other, but collectively, versus iconic cars of the world. If somebody told me, that iconic cars, that I love, iconic brands I love, would sweat years later against a muscle car, any, muscle car, even in the name, that is absolutely amazing and a new rightful title, not being the correct one, but Muscle Racing Cars and not just the Mustang. No more straight ahead only. Bring on all comers, at the track, including, Chevy and Dodge, available at dealerships, not some ultra special order, or crazy aftermarket super company offering (Shelby I know). I could have never imagined any Camaro, Challenger, Mustang, pushing icons to up the stakes. Good on Detroit, thinking, Muscle Car Home. All this, for the price against supercars, that were super cars to begin with! Wow! I am not disagreeing with anyone! Just, a Mustang, any Mustang, on a race track and not limited to taking on, just other Muscle Cars. Making excuses for a Vette, is begging Ford to bring in the new refined Ford GT then (doesn’t exist), but, go muscle cars, hating on nothing, nobody, or any cars listed, loving them all. Not a rebuttal. Just, muscle cars are not just muscle cars anymore, not just the Mustang, amazing. If it would have been a new Ford GT, fine, no surprise, but a Mustang, any Mustang. I would say the same for a Camaro or Challenger, as they are monsters. Just an opinion. Muscle Cars refined, for sure. Keep in mind, I would take any of these cars and winning lesson from Randy would be the best. All the best to all!
Such an amazing car! I have one and will be tracking it soon!
Yes and that red color is gorgeous too!
I'd like to see what it would do with some weight taken out. It would be an animal
@@CanIbeFrank

@@MWard-hl6gg I’ve hit the track with it many times. Here is the latest video on my ShelbyFlyer channel: th-cam.com/video/TMRP6_lpEJQ/w-d-xo.html
Nasty looking mustang. Im a sucker for the sick GREEN ! Thanks for this video
Great video! Many years ago the Nissan GT-R shocked the world about how a 1.800kg car can be so fast. Now the Ford GT 500 do the same only with rwd. How a +2000kg can be so fast on the track?
Its easy to see why Randy Pobst keeps giving Ford performance high praise when we look at his comments from driving the previous generation GT500. Ford appearantly listened to every word Pobst had to say... which wasn't stellar. Randy didn't like the feel of the brakes and the solid axle along with outdated suspension... which was a hindrance to getting power down. When asked what more he'd like Randy stated (jokingly?) he'd like another hundred h.p. on top of the 662 it put out. It took six years but Ford listened and this current GT500 is the result. This is why we keep hearing Randy say...."Ford should be proud"! He means it too.
I'm super confused when the full best driver's car is going to be released and on which platform? There's no 2020 best driver cars videos in the On Demand app
Seriously! Why am i paying for MT on demand when i have free TH-cam clips that aren’t on the MT app?

Motor trend needs to do a top speed test with no speed governor like they did on the 2013 gt500
saw one of these run at a track day and it sounds mental

Sound of the blower and the V8 just sweet!
Gt 500 has better brakes than Ferrari! Amazing lap time
People saying the C8 was a base lol it’s a MID ENGINE $100k car…This front engine, 2 ton pony car beat it. That’s all there is to say…It’s impressive! End of story. Have to give the GT500 and Shelby team a lot of credit to get that caliber of time on a road course!
Idk what's going on over there At MotorTrend headquarters but whatever it is keep doing it this is what we like to see. =)
I'm sure Carroll Shelby would have been proud to have his name on these Mustangs
When Randy giggles it has to be good.
I love the way the racing driver is so patriotic. Good on him!

Man that is one beautiful car
I love the new GT 500
Any reason to see this artist work. I love it!
I see the legend himself is driving
Almost as fast as the delicate Italians and sounds a whole lot better.
60k motor in rental car chassis. Run it for 30 laps straight and check the repair bill and then sell it for 50k next year.
@@ACMEpowersports Opinions dont equal facts. And thats ironic because it outlasts all those Italians youre defending too.
@@ACMEpowersports The gt500 already has really high dealer mark up suggesting its undervalued. Also ford is gonna stop making the gt500 and gt350 making this the last generation. So, I think this car will hold its value well (especially the cftp version) it may even reach future classic status.
@@burgerbandit3646 The Porsche could tick of that lap time all day. Over and over and over. GT500 Is a performance value car. A very good value car. Just don’t tell me they are built to the same standards. I had a GT350R. You don’t want to know about the build quality and what I had to deal. Flat plane crank V8 was a gem however. You get what you pay for guys.
@@brammicky9514 It will only because of its limited supply. If that car was made in unlimited numbers it would not hold its value. It’s a whole lotta car for the money for sure. It’s 4000lbs with all kinds of tricks to hide it’s weight! It’s fast as snot but it’s still 2 seconds a lap slower than Porsche’s Grand Touring car. Money notwithstanding would you take the Shelby or a Porsche 3RS or 2RS?
Huge success for Ford God bless America 🇺🇸 peace ✌️ to all
The video looks like it's being played on fast forward compared to the Cayman GT4. DANG, this is a crazy fast car!
Listen to that supercharger 😍😍
That car is awesome! About a half second faster than the zl1 1le manual. and up 110hp. Still surprised how much slower the vette was. So amazing how fast these cars are on the track! Put me behind the wheel i be lucky to do 2 min lap!
Ford mustang is the best muscle car
True 💯💯💯💯💯
Its faster than a c8, camaro, and only 1 sec slower tham a v10 awd huracan and a f8 tributo. Pretty impessive.
@@avinavpradhan3829 nope its only faster than the manual transmission camaro. A 10 speed zl1 1le is faster than the GT500 CFTP. Manual version did it in 1:34:30 so less than half a second difference. Plus camaro zl1 1le is on sale for $65,000 versus more than $100,000 for the GT500!
Awesome! One of my dream cars for sure!
I’m surprised by how planted it is! Impressive for sure
Andy pobst is such amazing driver
I’m triggered by this video as corvette C8 owner 😂 but honestly, the GT500 is absolutely incredible. Bravo Ford 👏
c8 atm being base model has 260 less hp, bring out a vette with say around 700hp. Forgot video i watched on track that stang only beat c8 by 1.5 or so seconds and that was cause straights, in all the corners the c8 was beating it.
U might want to put that it also weights like 500 pounds less
Good on u Jason. A car lover not a brand lover ! 👍
@@hecrod5429 that is true, but the GT500 CFTP is a true track car with much more power, while the C8 is an all around sports car. When the Z06 and ZR1 come out, they will win, which makes sense. But I still love the Shelby it’s a great car
Motor trend rules. Go jonny
American Muscle!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍
It´s a MONSTER.
To me being a full sized car before and be able to beat most cars around and down a track makes it the ultimate car. To think you can do a few minor mods and a tune for under 20k and make 1150whp
I love the video, the comment, all of it, but I am constantly asked this, so just throwing it in. The BMW M3, owned the best time at Laguna Seca, for a long time. Great car! There is a documentary, of the creation, of the Boss 302, back in about 2011, I think. Open creation, from scratch, to beat that time, but make the Mustang, a pony car, straight line, to lap quality car, open to input and 3 persons were invited for creation. The first, was the original Boss 302 Racing Champion, from back in the day, a NASCAR driver andF1 driver. After every couple of laps, they offered suggestions and those kept happening, until, they were satisfied. It murdered the record time. I guess so. Carroll Shelby wanted to try it, as a guest, really, showing up, interested and was afforded the opportunity to try it out. Deservingly so! He was, so in shock, called it the Best Mustang ever, actually, a racing car, that should not be allowed to be purchased from a dealership. I don’t disagree. He wanted his name on it, it was thought about, he said it was only, to say, that it was the best Mustang ever, not, a Shelby Mustang. Fine. That evoked into the Shelby 350 (R), in 2016, I think, then evolved into this, the GT500. I did not know that the 350 and 500, back in the day, were the distance, in feet, produced, from the regular Mustang production facility. I am just asked so often, loving all cars, but a known Mustang lover, who isn’t a Dodge/Chevy hater. I like cars. Is the 2016 the same, as the 2011, or 2012, no, but the thought process was there, from 2011, or so, then this, with the same idea in mind. I am only adding this, asked, so many times and loving cars and Mustangs, there is never enough videos and this one great. If you know, that is great, I don’t know it all, far from it, just asked a lot. If you
learned one thing, great. I am always looking to learn, about cars in general, loving them all. Great video, as usual! All the best to all! Be safe!
Now we know the GT500 can beat ZL1 1LE at Laguna Sega, but how about at Nurburgring? Very excited for it rolling around at Nurburgring and beat other Sports Car.
GT500 is the best! Nice job Randy!
The GT500 will be using the straits of the nurburgring to its advantage.
ZL1 1LE that was tested in 2018 was a manual transmission. The difference is 0.46 seconds. 10 speed auto 1le has surpassed GT500 CFTP on every other tests, including car and driver, throttle house lap times. I don’t know why people think the GT500 is all holy grail. You are paying almost $100,000 for it and can not even beat a $65,000 camaro with more than 100 hp less horsepower. Let’s talk about the reality and facts here. You can go online and find a 10 speed auto ZL1 1LE for $65,000.
@@al151
What? The Shelby was over 4 seconds faster from 0-150 mph then the 1LE from Car and Driver test. Randy Pobst owns a Camaro and says that the GT500 is faster around the track. Throttle house and Edmunds both had mixed results. At Edmunds the GT500 walked away from both Hellcat redeye and Camaro. Car and Driver picked the Camaro.... not because it was faster but rather based their decision on the Camaro "being a better bargain." ..... Not better performance.
@@richardmodglin3900 In almost all cases where the GT500 lost, it had old tires. I'm not saying that to sound defensive, many of the reviewers even admitted the GT500 would be faster with new tires.
@@joshjlmgproductions3313
Yes, Randy Pobst said it too after the hot laps between Camaro and GT500. He noted that the tires on the Shelby were cooked snd Said that the GT500 could beat the 1LE with fresh tires.
Amazing...................................and it weighs well over two tons!
As fast as the GT500 is, you can clearly tell Randy was having more fun in the GT350 he lapped last year, and the 350R in 2016. Goes to show how special the 350 really was.
fun, but being a 3 seconds a lap faster is just crazy!
My opinion history will show The gt350r will be one of the best naturally aspirated rwd manual track cars ever produced. Love that car
This green colour looks so awesome,what's this colour called?
That green color is called Grabber Lime.

WHY IS THIS NOT ON MOTORTREND ON DEMAND??!!!?!?
What a beast
I'm impressed 😍
Love this car
That thing down shifts so smoothly. Automatic 🤯
DCT bud 😉
Wonder how the ZL1 1LE auto10 will do. 1.34.30 in a manual ZL1 1LE vs 1.33.84 in a DCT GT500. Motor Trend should bring them both, plus the C8, and do a shootout
Also, doing them all on the same day would also show some sort of different results. It would be interesting.
Yeah, on the regular ZL1 non 1LE, they did a track comparison between the 6 speed and 10 speed and the 10 was faster. They definitely should try that 10 speed 1LE from 2019-2021 and do a head 2 head between the two.
Honestly, all they need to do is Put Michelin Cup 2s on the ZL1-1LE and it will beat the GT500 around Laguna Seca!!.
With 110HP less Horsepower, a Manual Transmission, and Inferior track tires (Goodyear Eagle F1 R) the Camaro was only 0.46 secs slower around Laguna Seca...
the difference is in the tires! not only that. i can buy a Zl1-1LE for 67k brand new from the dealer. while the GT500 is 93K MSRP(Carbon Track Edition) let alone finding one less than $100k from a dealer. This is comming from a Shelby Owner. either Supercharge a GT350 or just buy a ZL1-1LE. either way you will save at least $20-$25 Grand and have an Superior car!
@@darwinLee81283 Yeah. I am a Camaro owner but personally I would go GT500 non CFTP for daily drivability. I don’t know, I love both but the 1LE ZL1 just looks too extreme for me. Same for the base ZL1 since that’s just a Supercharged SS 1LE which is also too extreme for me. Currently I drive an i4 1LE Camaro which also is becoming a headache so I might go GT500 soon. Or a SS, not sure yet.
@@azimy9388 I Feel you brother! it will be a sweet ride. I love the Shelby's Trust me. i just with they didnt have to add so much weight to this car. 760hp is awesome. but 4220lbs is not awesome at all for a sports car. weight is everything
Great time for sure. I am a Stang guy. But, very impressive for the ZL1 1LE, which was a manual, to be only half a second slower than this DCT equipped car. And the Z has 110 less hp.
Im going to have to agree the zl1 1le was crazy and this thing beat it is insane I would honestly like to see a race between this and the zl1 1le to see who wins
This is the king of the pony cars, coming from a SS Camaro owner.
zl1 1le is much more impressive considering how much of a disadvantage it has and it's still so close.
4225 POUNDS with 56% front weight distribution...truly is an amazing feat to run that time because that car is a fat pig. Front tires and brakes for days if you track that thing.
Rear tires, too. Putting down 760 horsepower through them constantly won't make them last very long.
