Carfection’s quality of their videos is so amazing that it’s like having a tv show for free
Honestly
Yes, far better than any tv show. Henry’s delivery is brilliant.
Reminds me of a certain motor trend before they made you pay to see not as good content.
Shhhhh.... dont give them ideas. They might pull a MotorTrend on us
Oi,what's a tv?
One of the best engine sounds ever
Couldn't hear the engine over that mad loud exhaust.
Ikr I can’t get enough of it
One of the best v8 sounds at least
@@TheCarKrazeOfficial yes
Add the GT 350 to that list please.
There are so many "review" videos out on the GT500 but this is by far one of the best reviews on the GT500, great job Henry!
Totally agree. Very well presented.
By far,but still one of the 😅😅
These cars are not fully appreciated. Thanks, Henry, for helping bring it to light. A visceral experience all around, but If it's configured without stripes and in, say, Antimatter Blue, it presents a surprisingly more sophisticated look. It's a hard car not to love. If one isn't moved by the sound alone, one must be dead.
That noise just has me grinning from ear to ear. Makes me want to move to the USA so I can enjoy such wonderful cars...
You're welcome to come
I Saw A ‘67 FireBird Do A Burn Out In The Street Last Night...
IDK if you wanna do that bro. Universal healthcare's pretty nice to have when you're doing triple the speed limit XD

@@mitchell-wallisforce7859 just go faster
@@mitchell-wallisforce7859, I concur. Would be nice to put $450 per month towards a new car instead of giving it to some stupid, middle man, insurance company. Incidentally, that’s my 50%; my wife’s employer pays the other 50%. I miss the NHS!
The fact that the terminator (of 03/04 Cobra fame) was mentioned is quite impressive, and it added a bit to the smile already on face that typically forms from a Carfection video.
Same, that's why I love Henry.
Ohyeaaaa
Production for this channel is on a whole new level. Just "cinematic" and the presenter really well spoken too. Great. :)
oh yes , always a must
Totally agree. We are spoilt with this channel.
I can't believe this channel hasn't reached 1m subs yet with this production quality.
Most people have a short attention span
I've added mine to it
Hello we there now
Carfection and Henry are honestly all I trust for my car reviews anymore, quality is above and beyond the rest imo.
$70k in the USA? Gotta love muscle cars!
New vette is priced around that too
You won't find it anywhere in the country for sale at a dealer without a markup. It will be over $100k
Muscle cars are just normal cars with powerful engines. Thats why it's annoying when euro reviews compare them to porsche and the like. it's like having a mondeo with 700hp.
@@raymonds7492 Many muscle cars yes, but not this GT500, neither a GT350 or a Camaro ZL1 (which did 7:16 in Nurburgring), nowadays many Musclecars are just as good if not better on track, than many European cars...
Can't u buy it from manufacturer? There is 70K price? Someone explain pls. Never actually bought brand new car.
Love the GT500, but I'd still go GT350 for the manual. Hard to go wrong either way. Great video gentlemen!
Agree simply for the stick, but I do like what he said about how the character of the 500 fits the mustang more. A high revving mustang is kind of a weird mismatch, but an awesome one.
@@WobblePizza agree with both. The Mach 1 is sounding like the sweet spot with the Coyote + Tremec
@@WobblePizza Yeah I'll need to stick some turbos on mine if I want low end tq. I need to try a 500 to see if the throttle is as crisp as the 350.
Love to drive it through Texas Hill Country and the canyon roads in the western States. The sound banging off the canyon walls would be incredible. Excellent cinematography as usual.
I would love to do that! I get to drive my ‘16 GT through the bill country once or twice a month and it’s just an absolute joy to do. I can only imagine what it’d be like in a 500
As a 350 owner, I just love the modern Shelby's. The best thing is that they are road cars and are a joy to drive fast or just cruise around with that soundtrack.
Excellent car but my heart goes to the GT350R💯
Ikr that was my dream car then but now it a McLean 720s and a gt3rs and gt2rs and the wideboded urus
I love the gearbox in the 350R but the GT500 engine is way better than the 350R. I thought the engine was broken when it cold started in the 350R because it sounded odd
@@klintonkacatin yeah it doesn’t sound all that great in normal mode, pop it into sport mode and it’s up there in one of the best sounding v8’s or even car in the world. 8250rpm redline is addicting too. I wouldn’t say the predator is way better than the voodoo because the voodoo is just that unique.
@@streetboyz1096
The GT350r is only available to Americans. A ford Mach 1 in Europe costs about $70000 and if a 350 was available it would probably cost $95000 USD in many cheaper European countries. A place like Norway a GT350 could cost $300k.
I think, you guys may be the best automotive presenters, on TH-cam! Everything you guys do, I want to watch! My dog is pissed!
great video Henry!
really like those low-pro hood release buttons
Hearing that the review is by Henry is more important than the topic every time 👌
Now we have watched Tim “Schmee” drive his 7000 miles around the USA but tonight i learn so much more from Henry....I have been reading motoring journalists for 60 years and there are some very revered writers in that list but Henry is well up with them.....Laurence Pomeroy, LJK Setright, Denis Jenkinson, W “Bill” Body ...they would nod in great approval. If those names mean nothing then search them out...writers that shaped my motoring thoughts for decades and Henry is deservedly with them for superb and special work. It takes deep talent to be this good. 🙂🙂🙂🙂
THIS is Automotive Journalism ...Shmee is a douche with $ and a camera
@@lawlaw1
I'm sensing a lot of resentment in your words. Are you angry that he's so successful or is it something else?
Schmee is very good at what he does but tends to concentrate on the USA and lately I think, too much. He has a fixation with buying cars and that is not enthusiasm. It is far more interesting to talk to a man who has done 150,000 miles in a 30 year old car that he bought new than someone who has one of each colour “Supercar” when they become toys and ever more pointless, Tim “Schmee” has too many similar cars..no variety and I think has lost his way..then ever more reports on one off cars built by lunatics that have no relevance to any of his readers is a big mistake. You have to take your followers/readers with you in a way they can understand and even equal or aspire to...but five sorts of McLaren does not do that. I watch many You Tubers and all are different but each is special in their own way. What Henry does is describe every detail of DRIVING the car in a manner that a man with a 65,000 mile third hand Fiesta diesel can appreciate...he may never own a Mustang but can glimpse what it would be like if he did. Tim just drove from one museum to another with a few adventures in between...but Henry..drove the car and took us with him. That is why he is so good.🙂🙂
@@HQBProductions
Tim Burton's "concentration" on the U.S. probably stems from the majority of his audience living in the United States (he has said this publicly). I believe he said that about 32% of his audience is American, so it would make sense that he feature things that many Americans would like in his videos. He has done two U.S. road trips, so clearly he has priorities besides just showing off cars. He is fully invested in his TH-cam career, so all of this makes logical sense in relation to his business. He entertains and shows off cars. That is his job and he has clearly been doing well, considering the size of his car collection.
As far as one-off, special cars go, I would say Tim does a lot of videos on those. There is no doubt... but there are also a lot of videos he has done on seemingly regular cars (cars that could be bought by people who aren't extremely wealthy). I think you're focusing on the crazy and absurd cars and are forgetting about the other 65-70% of his content. Even Tim's extreme, one-off car videos do well in terms of ratings, so I think people do care about at least understanding these vehicles and seeing what they look like (even if they'll never be able to afford them themselves).
There is also a big difference between a fully fledged review and a bunch of road trip videos. I think you're missing the whole point of Tim's content in the United States. He had already done an in-depth video on the GT500 back when Ford did their press event two years ago (during his first U.S. road trip). There, he went over the car's features and described the vehicle's performance as he drove it. That being said, he isn't really a "car reviewer" or "automotive journalist." He goes over vehicle features and then shares his thoughts and experiences with his audience as best as he can. If you watch his videos, expecting them to be like this one from Carfection, you'll probably be a little disappointed. That isn't the point of Tim's videos though and his audience understands that.
@@CaseyCollier Some interesting thoughts there Casey. You have indeed summed Tim up well..remember I am one of his fans for around five years now because his talent is still being able to be humble about his success and that sometimes things have not gone well which he has shared. As for his financial abilities, he did make a video some time ago and his original funding was after his success working in the City of London. These days his 2M+ subscribers must make a big difference but then his monthly commitments can only be huge compared to most people working for a living.
As for content...yes he is clearly concentrating on the USA and I guess it impresses that audience but I would say that for some time, his “normal car” review percentage is much lower than it used to be. Personally I have no interest in a “1500bhp “Corvette mostly based on fantasy and just about unusable...now I have just made up the car there but you will have seen many such creations. Also....when he was still reviewing normal, realistically priced cars, I did get the impression that he really had no liking nor interest in them...he read out a list of facts..drove it a bit..tolerated it and told us that it was alright..but his heart was not in it. Now he seems fixated on stupidly high noise levels....that is at odds with his personality...my guess he is using that to reach young men...a primeval urge and there is money in it.
I like Tim...but you are correct...he is nowhere as a journalist when compared to Carfection and to many others...check Harry Metcalfe for a totally different but highly impressive style. I say to enjoy the many videos out there..impossible to do more than skim the surface but compared to the misery that Top Gear became and remains, Tim and dozens of others are on a different snd much higher Planet!
Safe driving!!😃😃😃😃
Great film again Henry! What a car!
My new favourite automotive youtube channel. Exceptional quality both of vehicles and reviewers.
Aaaaand time to put everything else in existence on hold and enjoy another masterpiece.
This channel is slowly becoming my favorite channel on TH-cam
Love all your videos Henry
You did your hair!!!
Love you man. You’re an amazing reviewer.
The blend of engine & exhaust note is pure magic. I could listen and enjoy the symphony each and every day
Great stuff Henry
Yet another great video. Thanks.
As always, a beautiful video.
This was spectacularly well-edited.
Now that's what I call an excellent car review
Loved the review 👌
I'm a Chevy guy but damn does that stang sound and look awesome. Good work Ford, also good review👊
I'd really like to see a video on car paint. Your cinematography paired with greatly colored cars would be awesome.
That engine sound😍😍
That rumble ! Love it
Great review!
End if an era another stunning video
Spinal Tap reference less than 30 seconds in 😂💯 “why don’t you just make 10 louder?” “....our amps go to 11 😐”
That sound........perfection!
Carfection indeed
You and jay Leno are my fav car reviewers.
Nice job 👌
Carfection and Henry should have a tv show now. Surpassed all other channels and top gear. Brilliant.
Fantastic video 👍🏼
Great combination, great video
Fantastic ford! Sounds glorious, looks great! I'm in .....
This channel's production quality and cinematography is comparable to top gear , The grand tour ! Keep up the great work !
PS: The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is my favourite car , thank you for reviewing it .
Who would have thought that a Britisher would make the best review of the American muscle car. Then again, it’s Henry Catchpole on Carfection, they’ll make the best review of anything. Absolute masterpiece. This is definitely another one of them stand out videos from Carfection. They’re piling up now.
Amazing Filming Master pieces
Great vídeo as always, might i ask, when is the gt4 vs m2 cs video coming up? I saw it announced but it hasnt materialised. Cheers
Excellent video! Now gotta re-watch with the headphones cranked. That exhaust note is too addicting.
Only in my dreams 😎 Great job Henry. . . no I mean, great job I want it! 😍
Another great video, Henry is awesome as always! I was hoping to see the tail kick out... maybe is a later track-test video?
Good Video Henry - nice to see you've smartened up, even just a little! Credit where credit's due. :)
Sounds and looks incredible
When you hear a v8 you know when it’s a mustang they just have a different sound
Ive never been a Mustang fan, but fair play to Ford for how they have developed it now. In fact if pushed, i would take one over the new M4.
Even a morris can b taken over the new m4. In fact i would chose walkin barefoot over the new m4. That grill s gastly.
I would have the alfa giulia qf over either of them. What a car.
This mustang is the one spec with a dual clutch and drives literally like a race track car especially the carbon fiber track package which has a big wing with 500lbs of downforce and cup 2 tires. But it has lot of aero drag so it's top speed is limited to 180mph. It's the first mustang ever to be a 10 second car doing 10.6s and 10.5s. The DCT really helps it shine 🤪
@@temwananinkana3419 hahahaha
@@aryanthacker i wish both the gt 500 and the guilia qf had stick shift manual gearboxes. Then i would have both.
masterpiece of a review
Thanks for that. I have the GT V8, but this looks like quite an improvement.
great performance & great driving
The throwback Lime Gold paint is AWESOME!!!
Great video as always. If I could, I would slip this GT500 engine into the Ford GT to replace the EcoBoost - give it the soundtrack it deserves!
Unfortunately, I don't think it would fit in the Ford GT. The space where the engine goes is really small.
@@CaseyCollier where there’s a will there’s a way! 😉
I saw one of these drive by me the other day and I heard it shift from 2nd to 3rd gear sounded sick! Such a gorgeous looking car. IMO the GT350 sounds better, but this is just a sick looking car, as they both are…
Great review and car, Fantastic exhaust but how id love to hear the super charger whine just a little bit!
Ford has been trying very hard in recent years to make me stop hating Mustangs... they are suceeding.
Wow! That color!!
Great review, as usual - Why are these Shelby models using the old Mustang shape vs the standard models?
I've loaded a couple of these onto railcars, it's terrifyingly close to the sidewalls the whole time you're driving it through.
hell yeah brother !
Can't wait to sample this Predator. I have seat time with the naturally-aspirated Mach 1 this month, which has just arrived in my country.
I wish that the shift paddles were fixed like Ferrari's. I love this car and great review!
$70,000.00 in USA you forgot the $10-25,000.00 additional dealership markup! 😆 great review. 👍👍
All I could think about was my neighbours. This thing has a beautiful sound, but goodness me, it's too loud for residential use. What's sad is that you can't even enjoy that noise on most tracks, which is confusing if you ask me
It has GPS fencing option to control exhaust settings, can turn down the volume near your home and workplace. If you aren't hard on the loud pedal, it's tolerable. It delivers so much twist from idle, very little throttle is needed for normal motoring... as if you would do much of that in this road warrior.
These videos are produced like the old top gear fantastic
Always fun. The camera struggled with the light today, no? It's the first time I've ever seen Henry whited out.
If I had the money, I'd definitely import one here to the UK. I love how much of a middle finger this thing is to the government and their push for EV's. It'd be so fun to be antisocial with that insane exhaust.
As a American living in the US, you should move here!!! It's my dream car! It's the first pony/muscle to have a dual clutch transmission!! It's the first production mustang to do 10s in the quarter mile!
Ohh man...the neighbors are REALLY gonna hate this...but I love it.
4:37 This still could be a NFS cover
Sounds a perfect car I want this 😍😍😍😍
The new Ford V8s sound freaking awesome
So do the old ones! Small block Windsor has to be one of the best. Especially on the original 60’s firing order.
First production mustang to be a 10 second car doing 10.5s and 10.6s in the quarter mile at 133mph and 134mph! It's also the first pony/muscle car to have a dual clutch transmission which makes its acceleration more rapid! I live in the US in Virginia:) no other modern muscle has a dual clutch transmission, just the GT500🤩
Not bad considering the price of the cars on offer and the options that customers have. A V8 can be had in America for about $20000 than Europe and in most cases more than that.
The Shelby is a work of art.
Thant transition in the end with the Mustang coming from the right and then the 911 going left was delicious
Almost 'Top Gear' like productions on TH-cam 🙌
It's such an interesting juxtaposition with Henry, this well spoken, mild mannered, british gentleman in a LOUD ANGRY MURRICAAA V8. God does this car look fun
Nice to see ICE cars going out with a bang.
Carfection is the new chris harris on cars (since now on top gear). And there is no higher compliment than that.
Shmee got the GT500 Track pack
“goes to, WAKE THE DEAD” hahaha
This is sooooooooo goooooooood!!!!!!!!!
She roars like the Hulk, too bad it doesn't have a manual transmission option. When it is too loud for a race track ..... pardon the pun the sound track
🎼🎶🎵 🎶 spectacular 🏎🏁🙋👌 and the setting is stunning ⛰🏞⛰🏎🏁 great presentation 🙋👍
Anyone know which watch he's wearing?
That Predator motor is truly a gem, have a look at how it's built, you'll be amazed. Sounds like a muscle car on steroids should. Very good video, thanks
It might be €70k.....I haven’t seen any in the U.S. for $70k. Love the channel.
Base price in US $73,000, fully optioned $115,000
I would just love to see Galpin rocket in this review...with this man...
Funny hearing henry call the hood of a mustang a bonnet :)
Hi. Is this the grabber yellow? Thanks
Where's the "please like and subscribe" message? This is youtube, you're supposed to ram that stuff down people's throats at every opportunity. Seriously though, it's refreshing to see quality content that feels like it's driven by passion rather than money and view counts. And realises that people will subscribe on their own accord if the content is worth it
I like his black Watch. Anyone know the model?
If you find out let me know, I'm curious too! Looks great
Please review the 2020 GT350
Get them while you can people, because we’ll all be driving the equivalent of electric sewing machines soon.
I dread that inevitable trajectory of our beloved cars.
I try to imagine having a car where there is no engine noise, turbo noises, etc)
It breaks my heart
Even tho electric motors can make insane power with no waiting for the spinny boi to build boost.. it still doesn’t really entice me
i wont...even if i have to invade the middle east and get my own damn oil personally.
If henry Ford were alive today, he would be smiling from ear to ear. Love the roar. Would not be a mustang without it. You know it is a mustang coming when you hear the roar. No other car sounds like a mustang.
He might like the Mustang car but would be horrified at Ford and their horrible mismanagement and their desire for woke politics.
