I’m no stranger to how good American performance cars can handle around a road course, and have been able to for quite some time now… But a part of me is still impressed at how well a 4,100 lb Mustang hustles around a track, especially the green hell. Mustangs and Camaros alike are legitimate sports cars.
shmee shouldn't exist, but with the amount of pathetic losers look out there that choose their testosteroneless heroes by the bundle, it's no surprise this dork is here. easy pass
I got the ride in one of these not too long ago and the power combined with the sound is just truly unbelievable you are embraced in raw power and it’s exhilarating and truly to be experienced by anyone who loves sports cars… I was amazed at how soft the ride was, but gut wrenching fast !
Like Shmee a lot, he really has a passion for cars and it shows by how much hes done to get better at driving and learning about motorsports, hes an awesome dude
Been following Shmee for YEARS, before the massive car collection became his and he was photographing others. Always cool to see how far he really has come. Good video Misha.
The GT500 DCT is smart enough to know if you're on the track and will power shift on the straights but will smoothly shift if your on undulating roads and corners.
Yup, im really scratching my head wondering why misha hasnt driven any of the new shmeemobiles. I dont wanna be weird or gossipy but something is up. Shmee must let people who know how to drive better than him drive, He let randy drive the GT500 in the US and Button Willow and let one of the FFF Collection guys drive the Black Series at the same track, Misha hasnt driven either at the ring........curious
@@rhmbob82 you break it you buy it essentially. There are pretty much zero insurance companies that insure cars for the Nordschleife. Even though it is a public road during Touristenfahrten. There are some exceptions but it's very very rare.
No, Tim, it's not theater. Those multiple hood catches are all there to physically keep that big ass hood in place to keep aero going well at 165+ mph. The GTD is basically this car with a transaxle, DRS, and EVEN wider tires.
Not necesserally a big Mustang fan but I'm gonna give credit where it's due, they sound awesome! Carbon wheels are phenomenal, it's one of the best upgrade you can do to your car, it reduce rotational mass, acceleration, breaking, cornering and so on...But sooooooo pricey.
Wow! It is great to finally see our American cars that can do more than burnouts and drag racing. A few of them coming down the pike these days. Plus, I do so love the sound of a throaty V8 with supercharger tones.
@@gerryjamesedwards1227 They’ve been able to for a looooong time; the stigma that they can’t is misplaced. Camaros and Mustangs have been good handling cars since the 70s.
The Voodoo is another story but every modern supercharged American V8 has been pretty bulletproof. It is hard to messup when you have loads of manufacturers still around with bolt on kits and decades of experience doing nothing but supercharging domestic V8s.
Out of every car I've driven - true race cars, modified beasts, expensive exotics... this was the only car that ever made me giggle like a school girl...
Usually the speed and the cornering forces aren't very obvious on camera, but watching Misha being thrown around in that passenger seat really highlights not only the immense power but also the weight of that beast!
14:26 A lot of that is due to differences in roads. In the US there's lots of long, wide, straight highways and so you get factory muscle cars with high HP and torque that are fast in a straight line but can't corner well. In Japan and lots of Europe, there are tighter, winding roads and so you get touring cars with decent power and excellent maneuverability.
I sat in one a few weeks ago and the way they placed the dash cam facing the hood is actually how high the hood is. I'm 6'2 and I was barely able to see over the hood. Pretty huge hood.
You need 200TW tires to get on the throttle early with the GT500. I can't tell you how fast the car is with a proper tire setup. Not many cars scare me but the GT500 around Buttonwillow did. We never driver these cars with MP4S on track lol Out of the box def preferred the ZL1 1le if you want street tires but the GT500 is an animal.
that great big power bulge out front is very reasuring when you put your foot down on the Ring....and yes...i think Misha would have prevered it if he could have driven it...but no chance for that with this guy...cheers.
Hopefully, someday the Dark Horse or even better the Dark Horse R will arrive at the Nurburgring. Also, it will be a spectacle to watch the all new Mustang GT3 and GT4 compete at the 24h race.
The Dark horse will be inferior to a GT350.. Guaranteed.. The good ol' days are over for big power V8's in America.. Joe Biden and his Democrats are ruining our Country.. Camaro Discontinued, Dodge and its awesome stretch of big Badass V8 muscle cars is over after this year, they are going to a turbo inline 6cyl.. The mustang will be next.. and the Corvette is on borrowed time.. Its sad.. I just bought a 22 Camaro SS 1LE Manual, and it will be the last V8 rear drive manual car that I will ever get to buy new.. I hope this can all be changed back but I doubt it.. They are trying to force electric cars on everyone, but here in the states, not all of us live in cities, its wide open big country roads where I live in southern Indiana..
Dat is het leuke aan Tim, met iedere auto die hij heeft rijdt hij ook, en het is voor hem pas compleet met een bezoek aan de Nordschleife met zijn auto's. Nu nog die andere twee, de Emira en de Zenvo.
should keep it in automatic track mode from upsetting the car in those gear changes, let the computer change gears when need be and keep all your concentration on the road when driving to the limit, the computer does a very good job with this car keeping it in the power band and the right gear at the right time.
I’d recommend you make a MyMode with Race dampers and steering and Sport or even Normal transmission/response setting. I’ve driven one around town and it does get spicy when the pavement isn’t perfect.
@@nichtgefunden404 Yeah he better take advice from a guy who's "driven one around town" lmao.. 🥴 Forget the thousands of miles Shmee has spent in sportscars and supercars both on the street and on the track lol.
not sure how driving a lambo or whatever else equates to knowing the ins and outs of a GT500 but lol, ok, whatever floats our boat, keep being the president of his fan club what a dork p.s. what I'm suggesting is how to do exactly what misha was talking about doing on BMWs, but I bet Shmee has more experience than Misha 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Always been an issue with mustangs cheaping out on tires. First time I saw a viper tires looked like they came off a steam roller just massive. The old 5.0 's had regular car tires. Feather the hell out of clutch to keep from burnout in First every time . Just not safe in winter.
In another video. Shmee turned 2 laps by himself and the GT500 was planted running close to 160 mph. The GT500 is amazing on a road course or dragstrip
Brilliant! Funny to watch your face Misha, I can tell you want to go faster but Tim’s too slow 🤣 maybe he should of put some alloys on for the laps 🤣🤣🤣

With great power comes great responsibility, turns out this thing likes to get slippy out there!
That sounds like politics to me Tim,hate the clichés!🤔🤯😱
I think we'd all have preferred to see Misha drive it, and without gloves.
It’s all in how you drive it
@@michaelc3977 i mean, im happy to see anyone driving. Misha's reactions as a passenger are usually great, especially with Tim
Like Brothers 😂😂😂😂😂💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
All the interactions between Misha and Tim are a joy to watch, a real camaraderie. Hopefully Emira lap will be next
I hope Misha gets to drive the Emira
carmaraderie 😆
the low RPM rumble is intoxicating.
absolutely love it.
V8s sound great no matter the Rpm but to me the low RPM is my favourite.
Love it
One of my favorite “features” of the V8’s as well. I have a 21 GT PP and I love the foot off the gas gear holding rumble in sport+ mode.
For me too. We call it gurgling in Spain.
Great minds think alike!

ON GOD brother
Especially the 350R, personally i would take one over a GT500.
About the deceased, it's either good or nothing! 🤷♂
What a ride, love the deep gt500 exhaust sound
the gentleman Shmee + american muscle car + Nürburgring and of course Misha, what a combo
shmee shouldn't exist, but with the amount of pathetic losers look out there that choose their testosteroneless heroes by the bundle, it's no surprise this dork is here. easy pass
Dude has a smile on his face the whole time. This is the kind of feeling worth yearning for.
Nice! The CFTP also specs a .5” wider rear wheel, higher rate springs front/rear and a slightly larger diameter rear sway bar.
I just love how polite shmee is. He really asked if he could open his own hood.
it is very british and i lovve it haha

People can say what they want about Tim's personality or his giddiness, but he is becoming a proper driver around here! Very smooth and nice lines.
Lol yes he would destroy 99% of his viewers in a track race
@@Jeovaunihunter no
@@BIGC728 he would
@@Jeovaunihunter nope

Now it's time to let the man himself drive that around for a lap. Misha take it for a spin brother 🐎 🐴
Was thinking that the whole time
Like Shmee a lot, he really has a passion for cars and it shows by how much hes done to get better at driving and learning about motorsports, hes an awesome dude
Waiting for this one for a long while, now I want to see the giggles when Misha gets to drive. Now off to watch Tim's version.
The season really starts when we see a lap with a shmeemobiles and Misha and Tim in the video👍
Good to see you and Tim back at it. Finally, that real American muscle @ the NBR... 👍
Been following Shmee for YEARS, before the massive car collection became his and he was photographing others. Always cool to see how far he really has come. Good video Misha.
You’ve been watching youtube for a while eh?
The GT500 DCT is smart enough to know if you're on the track and will power shift on the straights but will smoothly shift if your on undulating roads and corners.
The V8 sounds insane!! I thought it would have been a bit too loud for the ring considering what happened with Shmee's STO.
Amazing video - so much fun.
Thank you guys. 🤙💯😎
Should have let Misha drive!
This was nice too haha
You could see it in his face so bad 😁👌

Have to assume it is because of insurance reasons? How does insurance work on the ‘ring?
@@rhmbob82 you break it you buy it essentially. There are pretty much zero insurance companies that insure cars for the Nordschleife. Even though it is a public road during Touristenfahrten. There are some exceptions but it's very very rare.
Just two dudes smiling the whole way round, love it 😄
Love it guys! I've been waiting for this video for a while.
My favorite Nurburgring driver and my favorite legendary Cars & Coffee TH-camr from the early 2000s and look at him now
No, Tim, it's not theater. Those multiple hood catches are all there to physically keep that big ass hood in place to keep aero going well at 165+ mph. The GTD is basically this car with a transaxle, DRS, and EVEN wider tires.
I wonder if Misha was driving and in full send if he could outpace that GT3. Tim is taking it safe, which is understandable.
More than likely
i love that you can see tire pressure / heat. very useful tool
Still cool of him to do laps in this beast 👍🏻

That thing is impressive, by any standards. Nobody can say that US cars don't handle these days.

Good to see @Shmee150 isn’t just someone who has money to spend on cars but is also a very capable driver
Thought he was pretty slow to be honest 🤷🏻♂️
Tim doing right foot braking with an auto and Misha doing left foot braking with manual. 😄
i think its safe to say im not the only one thats been wanting this collab for 2023, but even still, mad disappointment shmee didnt let misha do a lap
Usually the speed and the cornering forces aren't very obvious on camera, but watching Misha being thrown around in that passenger seat really highlights not only the immense power but also the weight of that beast!
3950lbs w/ ~25qts of fluid and gas is not bad for over 700 wheel hp and 7 radiators...
Always a great and positive colab with Tim...can't wait for the next one Misha!

Nice job, Tim 👍🏻. I used to have a 1993 Mustang 5.0 LX and they were bucking broncos back in the day.
Finally a video that shows mph instead of kph!
i love this car its sound and its history.
I sat in one a few weeks ago and the way they placed the dash cam facing the hood is actually how high the hood is. I'm 6'2 and I was barely able to see over the hood. Pretty huge hood.
Nice video again, and thanks for the picture at Apex today 😁
Great meeting you!
Very nice lap. So impressed with these cars. ✌

Great to see a video with Shmee again 👌
10:15 - pants check ✅
7 seconds from 100 to 200 up a step hill. Not bad,
Love to see you both!
Soundtrack of this car is a joy to listen to
That STANG WHAT A BEAST. Would love to own one.
Great to see you back on track👌rip the auto bahn and do laps, always great vids👍👍
Awesome car and so nice to see people import these special ones here Europe ! just wish Misha would have driven it 😁
This car is perfect and that Sound!!!
Love this video, the both of you laughing and giggling like little girls, brilliant.
Love my 500. Been waiting for one to pop up on this channel. Instant click
Tim's GT500 has been around the planet. What a cool car!!!
Shmee the type of guy who wears gloves taking socks on and off
Let Misha wring it out, he is a much more aggressive driver. This guy is babying it.
Thats some real Detroit muscle just chillin' and not even flexing itself
I need to see this thing out on The Ring in the summer with a proper set of Nankang AR-1's 🥵 I need a full send lap
He has to try the DCT and Brakes, they’re literally amazing!
What a beast... love the sound, always loved american V8 sounds. under the hood will sound awesome too with that supercharger :D
Probably one of the best collabs ive seen in a while
Misha gotta to USA with Shmee next time!!😅😂 would be epic seen u both making content together !!
I actually waited so long for this
I was looking forward to this one :))) It's also first for me; to see Tim with racing gloves 😂
You and Shmee are great together. You had fun. And you look at ease when Shmee is driving.
Thank you 👍👍👍👍
I wanted to see Misha take it for a hot lap.
So we can truly see what the car is capable of,Shmee isnt on the same level as Misha
that great big power bulge out front is very reasuring when you put your foot down on the Ring....and yes...i think Misha would have prevered it if he could have driven it...but no chance for that with this guy...cheers.

super cool video great to see two real car enthusiasts together
@Schmee150 love it how smooth your driving is. Very impressive.
GT500 screaming MURICA🇺🇸 love it ❤️
Sound and gearbox reminds me a little bit to an amg gts gtr 😊
60-90mph very, very quickly ! Great stuff indeed....

That front facing dash cam tho, sick!!!
Has Tim or Misha ever drove a Viper track car, with all the advancements of tires now, it would be epic to see how the Viper would do. Make it happen
Wow that engine look like it is infinite in power and torque! I love the Mustang
should keep it in automatic track mode from upsetting the car in those gear changes, let the computer change gears when need be and keep all your concentration on the road when driving to the limit, the computer does a very good job with this car keeping it in the power band and the right gear at the right time.
Great video and what an engine note!
Can’t wait till misha actually does a lap in this car
Always great content with Tim and Misha. Tim is becoming a proper driver. Would have loved to have seen you (Misha) drive it.
That's a sweet sound!
“ it’s very America” lmao. I love how our Brit brothers just love that American HP. LoL ❤
By far one of the best sounding V8 engines on the planet!
This was an absolute GEM 👊🏻🙏🏻
