I never thought I'd see the day where a topher channel would drive a variant of my mustang I love to see this dude
As a 3v owner I love to see some fresh content on this gen.
Now this is what a real Mustang looks like compared to the new ones, this is one of my favorite Gen of Mustangs
how fitting that a "real" Mustang can't really turn because ford decided to stick with solid axles until 2015
American muscle cars aren’t about turning? This isn’t a Porsche nor is it trying to be.
Cheap too, I’m looking at a gt for like 8k with low miles
@@Localtraveler2376Yeah but this aint a muscle car. Its a pony car which means its basically become a sports car. If it only goes fast in a straight line then wheres the fun in that? It would be a one trick pony. The newer ones are better designed imo. Styling wise i think they all look good except the mustang 2 and fox body.
@@Inferno45 ur a geek bro thats like saying a challenger is a sports car because it has a v6 trim. be real with urself you know these cars are not meant to turn besides the zl1, s550 gt500 and gt350
The tires barking in 2nd will NEVER get old!
Keep that muscle in the family forever!! Never let it go
That 4.6 sounding so good
Actually it a 5.4 v8 only found in the Shelby’s and makes 535 hp stock
@@loading7325it's not the 5.4, because this isn't a GT500
@@loading7325 Did you watch the video?
@@loading7325it’s a Shelby GT not a GT500. Wouldn’t try to correct someone on something you obviously don’t know.
@@loading7325 535 isn't even right for a GT500 lol
I have a 2006 Mustang GT with 35,000 miles, tons of handling mods, braking mods and some bolt ons. Making 376hp crank. These 3 valves are amazing and reliable, one of the last brute Mustangs, just ABS and Traction Control. S197 from 2005 to 2009 are worth buying.
💯
Im going to save this video, if I'm having a bad day, I can come back to video and this Mustang will put a smile on my face 🥹🙂
I do that with f type videos
@@LagunaLeonhart lol I use to do that too 😂 now it’s LS Engines & Hemis lol
Woah! I never thought I would see the day Topher drives a 3V stanger. I love mine, and it makes my day to see someone who has driven some of the worlds finest cars enjoy my simple nugget.
I love this generation of Mustang. In my small home town there was an old man who had one of these in black and gold.
Ahhh I had a 2012 gt with headers and manual this video made my heart sing at the memory's of driving mine.. thanks miss my mustang so fun to drive❤
these cars are so rare and something i didnt know existed until last year when someone i knew was selling one. apparently you can get these with a push button start too which is cool. really awesome to see you out here driving it
Not really rare considering they made almost 8000 in its two years of production.
I think the 2,3 & 4v 4.6 engines sound better than the 5.0l. It’s just so deep and muscle(y) sounding, especially the terminator
It’s good to know I’m not the only one that isn’t a fan of how the coyote sounds. I think they sound alright with flowmaster mufflers, but other than that I’m not a huge fan of the sound. ESPECIALLY with a corsa exhaust, god they sound awful.
I agree, there’s just something about them that’s so unique. They sound so good compared to todays engines
@@dannydorito9815 coyotes are cool if you wanna go fast for cheap like an LS but 2v,3v & 4v’s all the way! The sound alone is why I’d buy an older Gen over any coyote and idc about the hp numbers/Speed that’s what my motorcycles are for haha
my gen 1 coyote sounds better than my 3v same exhaust set up 3v just has cams
@@dannydorito9815 I Personally still love the sound, especially with Borlas or even ford stock performance exhaust. Corsas however do sound bad
From 10:00 - 10:45 if you listen really closely to the background noise, driving over the divots on the road sounds like a real Mustang galloping 🤣
I like the video's where you roadtrip new cars, but honestly watching you rip blasts from the past is just great.
I love this era of cars in general, especially muscle/sport cars. The perfect balance between raw, visceral experience and technology, nothing feels like this nowadays. This is much more fun than newer Mustangs and are finally getting the appreciation they deserve because, surprise, they ARE good cars. We were just too spoiled and used to take these things for granted. It's so ridiculous how nowadays everything is about 0 to 60 and big screens. I wanna have fun and a good experience without almost killing myself and others.
There's nothing like a good, fun and usable car.
THAT SOUND 🔥
11:06
For the future enjoyment of this beautiful video!
This is the Mustang generation for me. I love the 69-70 and the 05-14, best looking Mustangs ever built with the 05-09 taking the top spot.
I miss my S197 2007 GT. It was my first Mustang and I purchased it new in 2008 when I was 19 years old. Drove it well over 100k miles with almost no issues!
Always loved the s197, just saw one of these shelby's yesterday actually
this is awesome, I got a '08 GTCS as my first car and seeing topher drive one is really cool. 4.6s may be slow but that sound is stellar especially with this exhaust setup.
Threy are not slow so a 1965 shelby is slow they make about the same power!
I had a Screaming Yellow ‘05 GT for a year a while back. It was my first V8. Spent a lot of time with my dad on it. The chop that it had from the cams we put in it was beautiful.
Ended up having to sell it because of how far my commute is to university :’(
The deep rumble of Ford’s 3V cannot be beaten. Some say underpowered, but I say just right. Love the new Coyote’s and each generation that ford has put out of the motor, but it just isn’t the same sound.
Awesome Video Man
Love this Generation Of the Mustang as well with 68/69
Something something live axle something something crowds something something bald eagles something something ‘MURICA 🇺🇸🇺🇸
🦅🦅🦅
YEEHAW 🤠
He said one thing that’s very important here. It’s the driving experience, not the horsepower that makes this car a pleasure to drive.
Today’s ecoboost Mustangs have more hp and torque, but are slammed for not being “real” Mustangs because they don’t have a V8. I call BS. All Mustangs are real Mustangs. If you own a GT (or variant thereof), great! If you own a V6 or ecoboost, you’re still driving a Mustang.
The pony car community needs to stop shaming Mustang owners because they didn’t buy the V8. Truth is they all are more fun to drive than a Honda or Toyota (Supra excluded).
I love those notchy shifts
that shifter is the best.
Big props for the owner keeping this pony car in show-room condition!
This is it. This is the sound I want for my 3V. I've seen countless videos of people's exhausts on their 3Vs, but none ever captured the sound I wanted. This is it and it came stock from Shelby. This is the goal for me. I love the early S197s. I don't care how much "better" the newer ones are.
this is the official definition of today's classic
Sounds awesome i have a 05 gt with Longtubes X-pipe and muffler deletes sounds really good also!
I’m sorry, but in my opinion the 2007 Shelby GT was the greatest variant of Mustang ever created. Perhaps because when the car came out I was 17 and this was my dream car.
I wish I had money. I would love to have that car always wanted the Mustang, but it is the money situation. Always makes it rough and she looks very beautiful for her age.
A couple of things Shelby didn't add...
All Mustag GTs with manual had 3:55 gears, that was standard.
Those aluminum dash panels were also on the premium cars & could be added as part of the interior upgrade pkg. which was often paired with the my color gauge clusters❤️
The Shelby mods are great though, one of my most favorite S197's of that era!
What a great specimen.
Where is Mom's car listed for sale?
Thanks! I think my “aluminum bits” comment came off wrong as I was referring to the map light trim, cup holder bezel, and seat belt trims being aluminum. Adds just that much more dimension the the interior. Good to know about the gearing, though!
It was a great era for the mustang. They’re what I remember from my childhood. This car actually just sold last week! I listed it on cars&bids and had a good turnout of bidders.
You broke somebody's neck at 12:53 😂
that’s too funny 😂
Oh my god the sound!!!! Eargasm
White w/ gray stripes looks good. Really like the exterior looks of the 2005-2014 Mustangs. I don't know about those hoods pins though, it makes the car look gaudy/cheap...like 1 step up from duct tape. Only reason I never considered one is that they never offered a sunroof and had no interest in a convertible.
Oh my, this will be a good video.
I have a base model 08 Mustang with the automatic. 200K miles basically and has proven to be solid, despite going through 10+ owners. If that car is anything like mine, it'll be stupid reliable and get you out of sticky situations, even in your most critical ones.
Not a V8, but it's still fun. I want to manual swap it though. :p
Damn this car sounds angry! Makes me miss my 1992 Z28 with a Flowmaster and 3.55 gears.
i owned a 2006 mustang gt, and had to sell it to get a car suitable for montana winters, unfortunately. Gonna watch this video a trillion times living vicariously through it until i can buy another.
Loving this video I’ve recently been finding out more about the Shelby GT ……this video definitely convinced me to consider buying one !
THAT is peak American V8 sound. Gawt damn.
Nice car, original, I like hear the sound of the motor.
it's hard to believe the S197 is so good when they had no competition in that era from GM or Chrysler.... When the s197 came out, they had already discontinued the camaro and firebird a couple years earlier and Chrysler didn't have anything for decades that was in the same segment. Yet and still ford put together a great package that was out there being competitive all by itself. Maybe that is why the Mustang has survived all these years with great success, ford has always put together a solid fun affordable sporty car for the masses no matter what is going on in the economy or with the competition.
Love the Mustang! I had a few questions. I was wondering if you're gonna do a vid on the Is300? and i also wondered if you could do an impressions and or road trip review of Emily's cx-30 I'd be interested to hear y'alls impressions. Keep up the great work! love you're channel always love the content :)
This car sounds mean asf
Im from Brazil and last week I buyed a 2011 GT manual. Man, such an amazing car! Im loving it!
this how my 08 mustang sounds bruh that era is perfect it js sounds so good fr
One of my coworkers just taught me how to drive manual on a 07 Mustang GT convertible. Was a lot of engine for me, but I only stalled twice in about 1 hour of lessons!
Nicely done.
TopherDrives best friend is his mom confirmed
haha this is true, BUT this shelby was owned by my friend Autumn’s mom!
those Carroll Shelby floor mats will be worth a fortune some day
These cars sound so good lol
This is my favorite “stock” mustang of all time. The look is timeless, and the driving experience is perfectly analog. It’s not the fastest car they’ve ever produced but in terms of a fun to drive road car it’s unbeatable. The GT500 is obviously faster but I feel like the supercharger whine takes away from the V8 sound. Not to mention, the Shelby GT is 100% usable power on the street. If I were in the market for a weekend toy, this would be the one.
These cars look good but the reason there isn’t much of a market for them is literally because all it adds performance wise is an intake and tune with some minor suspension upgrades. You can build the same thing but better with aftermarket parts.
I just bought one, it's a lot of fun to drive. The clutch is so heavy thoug, any suggestions into what to replace it with?
Its a hydraulic clutch if you think thats heavy drive an old 1st gen camaro or chevelle!
cant wait to get my hands on one of these
Good car.
now thats a cool mom !
The door sills and Shelby floor mats definitely at 8 lb/ft of torque and maybe 5hp.
sound is devious lol
That Bentley GTC at 14:05
That drivetrain would go great in my 07 Mustang 4.0v6 base model convertible
The previous owner sounds cool
heavenly
HELL YAH BORTHER
tue car is so so coean holy cow
50 years of cars, IMO , the Shelby 4.6 3-v with the Shelby Exhaust, IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SOUNDING CAR I HAVE EVER HEARD. It has a certain "gurgle, and the loudness is PERFECT. It HAS to be the most powerful 320 HP ever made> If someone taKES ME ON while "on a roll" I eiher wINJ OR am 'in the race" . It takes 4-5-600 hORSES to BEAT ME!!- This is why I bet ANYONE that nothing is as fast at 319! MAYBE? CS should have put a 3.89 locker - I say that, because I run from 30-80-90MPH and STOP! At 140 MPH I have lost my LICENSE! I have used 5th geaR 5 percent of the time- 2nd is whjer I live /torque Mine Your Mod is ok, but Where I live in Florida, I have to lisTEN TO PUNKS!!!!! Running tHERE $ CYLINDERS WITH STRAIGHT pipes AND IT IS soooo Nasty.. MAN!! THe cops haVE STOPPED poLICING>>> 10k WATTS, OF "never heard once heard a Melody_ Computerized "erratica" Trucks ??? If they have a concrete median- they simply run over it to miss the traffic. Lastly- How are the cops, and you all, when A NASTY megatruck pulls up TO THE OTHER LANE AT A stop. IN THIS RAGE WORLD/ - ANY OF US COULD HAVE 'cut him off, unkowingly , AND THIS PSYCOPATH has a 38 pointed at "US"~~AND WE SEE NOTHING/ Bllack outs CXL/ No MASKS driving either
I have a friend that has a black one they made 2,500 in black and 2,500 in white 5,000 total and it only comes manual.
Excellent launch at 11:00
What kind of exhaust is this stang equipped with.
Also I assume the check engine light is on because of catless headers lol
I have one of these cars and I love it. Mine is #0059 white with silver stripes just like this but mine is supercharged.
Is that thing cammed? Almost sounds like it
The dude at 12:53 had to do a double take lmao
If only the coyotes sounded as good as the 3V.
this is so real
If only the coyote sounded as good as the 4V*
@@169abr Yes haha but I actually do think the SN95 3V sounds really good too
GT350 Flatplane V8 Sound 4.6
The Hertz boomer Shelby.
I have a Black/Silver 07 Shelby GT. The 4.6 sounds so much better than Coyotes but it's a dog, allergic to power compared to the coyote.
If I got a penny everytime he calls out nice cars on the road I’d have enough to get one myself
Get your hands on a 05-09 Saleen Supercharged 3v
Not a powerhouse… But, the 3 valve is the best sounding engine (next to the flat plane GT350).
01 Cobra is up there too, 3V’s sound a lot more angry the 4V is smooth.
Wait till you drive a coyote swapped s197 mustang 😉
drive a sn95 next i have a 94 gt
Nice that 2v sounds great
That’s a 3v
lol that’s 99-04
I want it do finacing or what you asking for it I'll get a laon for it
Smoke them taillights, tint your windows, and throw you a little ducktail spoiler on it.
11:06 acceleration
Less than 1000 miles a year…. Damn. What a shame. All that money spent insuring and caring for it with such little driving enjoyment that could have been had that whole time….
Ford: the only company thay can put a V10 that makes 300 horsepower on an Excursion, a V8 with 330 horsepower on a light coupe, but a 4 cylinder on a base bronco.
Sounds mean
Cool car but that fake hood scoop is cheesy and that exhaust is the definition of antisocial, holy shit
This generation of Mustang aesthetically has not aged well (in my opinion, anyway.) Early-mid 2000's were just an interior plastic-fest across the board. Which is a shame, because so many cars from this era are actually a blast to drive.
And this thing sounds great.
This is a totally different redesign from the early 2000s though which had the all plastic interior. These actually had quite nice interior.
My 05 premium interior is quite nice, 115k and no rattles.
@@leightonpolk1731mines has 260K on it has rattles here and there but still love the damn thing😂
definitely the minority if you don’t think the 05-09 S197 has aged well, it’s the classic design
not a shelby
It is a real shelby…
@bbc_junior4863 my Shelby doesn't have mustang emblems anywhere, hood is different to get air to supercharger!!
@@robertmontoya4833 Just google it bro. You send your mustang to shelby america and they turn it into a shelby.
That's not a Shelby it's just a GT
It’s a real shelby, look it up
12:45 you can see the guy turn around in the rear view mirror to admire the sound OF MERICA
I can't get my eyes off that bar in the middle under the hood. 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Bar? You mean the hood scoop?
Hello you should buy this car,,I have one and yes it is so much fun to drive.dont pass it up.
I swear what ever car I'm thinking about Topher ends up driving and posting 3 days later
