- Took the 2020 Shelby GT500 out for a whole lot of fun! I show how to set up and adjust launch control and show multiple launches. Also on this video is a 0-100 acceleration run and a whole-lotta spirited driving!

Awesome, this is a monster
Sipho Makwana Thanks! I have a bunch of Mustangs and this thing is on a whole ‘notha level!
Hey yo.....I like to point out to da peeps......while you were tear-assin through “Mexico”, you only got to 4th gear at 130+MPH ......you got 3 more gears left!! 🤘
Car is an animal!!!!
He's a wild dude! Met him in person at a track meet. Loves his shelby, and can drive his ass off. See you at the next one!
Nice video Tim, are you amazed that you can buy a race car from the Factory? Crazy, and I thought our 500hp Shelby was hot.
Thanks Rod! Yes! I am blown away by the car and the fact that we can buy these beasts! If you haven’t been to the Ford Performance Racing School, it’s a MUST!
It doesn’t hook at all at the strip. You need rear slicks. I ran a 12.3 stock 😢
Did you do a line lock burnout to heat the tires? I have a video that covers it.
pleees test curoos cntrol
What are you trying to say...?
Why would you do launch control when you’re trying to sell it. Some people see that as devaluing it. Even dealerships will check if you were to trade it in and tell you it goes down doing LC. And the price you said in the video in regard to this car and what you want out of it has definitely decreased with using LC.
Launch control doesn’t hurt the car or the value. The car sold for my asking price.
ShelbyFlyer might want to fact check that. Ask a dealer or online “does launch control devalue and hurt your car”.
You're trippin. Everyone launches their cars and everyone who buys them is okay with that. 2018 Audi TTRS owner, 3.4 to 60, get some. Love that GT500 ❤❤❤
Why did you sell it so soon?

That aint stock. That was wicked
It’s completely stock and yes, it is wicked.
They come wicked 😂
Amazing car! Hope to own one someday soon.
That dude just went 131mph in 4th gear Lol lord!!!
The car is crazy fast and does speed with grace. I’ve been to 160 a couple times and it was surprising how much of a “non-event” it was.
@@ShelbyFlyer oh I know Shelby, trust me, my 40 year old had mustangs most of his life and now he has a 2019 and added all of the Shelby ground effects on it to make it look like one, but he added the water cooler and put twin turbo’s on it but they are under the chassis hooked to the exhaust where you can’t see them, plus a bunch of more racing equipment on the car. It’s a ten speed automatic and we got 130 just coming out of 3rd gear with it, it’s super fast like the one in this video, but the one in the video is all stock equipment, my son sunk around $10,000 more into his to get it like it is, but that’s why I was so impressed with the one in the video because it comes stock like that and is just as fast as my son’s car. My son probably has around $65,000 tied into his, Lol what I was thinking when I saw this video is that he probably would have done better just paying the $75,000 or whatever it is that the stock GT Shelby cost and already have a car made up to suit his needs instead of sinking all the money and aggravation he did putting everything into his car even though he did all the work himself. I believe both cars will top out around 180 mph or better , but the GT Shelby has so many more features than my sons car and it is awesome.
What a beast! Nice vid
Awesome videos with lots of info. Thanks Tim!
@@bigtexpilot Appreciate the feedback! 🍻
I used to know a guy like you ......... LOL (fun video)
I wonder when will chevy come out with a camaro with enough power to join and properly compete with the redeye and the gt500. They could come out with the 750 hp callaway zl1 and make it an official trim. Sure it will have the least amount of hp, but it will have the most torque at 739 lb ft
nice video, just curious why RPM goes up and back down while still at 1st gear?
Traction control!
@@ShelbyFlyer does that happen even on the lowest RPM setting? Wondering if you can better times lowering RPM on old pavement
@@keeganjacobs5913 It’s simply a function of traction. Warm concrete with warm grippy tires will be best. Old cool asphalt with cold tires is worse. You can use a higher RPM launch when traction is better.
Thought there was a 500 mile break in period?
The break in is 100 miles. I kept the RPMs below 5k and didn’t do any WOT runs. The other number in the manual is 1000 miles before taking it to a track.
@@ShelbyFlyer Just got mine Sat. Dealer said vary RPM first 500 miles then drive it like you stole it.Hah 360 miles so far and have tickled 5000 a couple times. Thanks for the videos!!
@@justme-qt3dg how did you find out you needed a new transmission? What signs was it showing?
@@justme-qt3dg?
@@justme-qt3dg ahh k .that sucks. I just took delivery of a 500 about 10 days ago. Turns out my hood is misaligned pretty good and have to get it to the dealerships body shop in the Spring when I start driving it again. Thanks for the response man.
Great content - enjoyed that. Looking forward to the day my son can film me. I’ll be checking out more content on your channel my man.
Thank you very kindly! 🍻
Nice car.
"I got it running" for 100k it better run all the time
Awesome video man!
How do you get hose guages in the center of the tach/speedo?

Man driving mustangs are soo much fun
They have come a long way through the years!
387 miles. Hows it doing now?
Sold this base model in 2020 and got a CFTP. Subscribe to my channel and you will see a lot of videos of these cars.
@@ShelbyFlyer deal. Had a transition fault tonight. I've got a venom 1000, from 2021. When I got it, the like third day after the purchase, sitting if traffic for like 10 miles, it did it like 3 times and I clicked into drive and it smoothed out and that was Sept 13. But there was an issue w the warrenty from hennessey and I was like naw. When I got there it was a SUPER HIGH PRESSURE SALE. Super high. And it was super hard to convince myself to take it back in the first. And then tonight it did it a few times, the I got a wrench, and a check manual and then it was barely able to get to a parking lot. Then I let it sit and cursed the gods for like 5 mins and just wanted to see if it was still there, just do the ignition but no start. And it's gone now. And it goes through the modes ( I almost cried when I saw that) I drive it home. Some like 70% throttle maybe 4 times on the way home. Afr looks good like 11.5 afr on eth at idle, power feels normal maybe once or twice on the way home tiny lil jerk in between the shifts. But nothing like before. Then when I get home, turn it off, give it a few mins turn it back on fully just to see ot it comes back, it did not.
@@ShelbyFlyer hoping you'll reply today I'm taking mine in, I know the service manager is gonna try to charge me
@@pjbiggleswerth8903 What is the issue?
@@ShelbyFlyer more detailed description above this but it had a transmission fault after 2 very hard , orange wrench, limp mode. My mechanic is a God. HE asked for my vin to check what the ford pass was logging (I guess their version is quite a bit different that what u get from the app) he said it was throwing a bunch of codes that made him think the tcm or pcm was acting up or mc somethin not t, wasn't plugged in or something.
Hey Tim! Got my 2022 on order, do you have any recommendations for things I should ask my local dealership concerning maintenance/services & discussing delivery after it’s shipped from the dealer I bought it from? Any particular advice you could shed on taking delivery, taking it in for service, etc? I’ve built plenty of vehicles so I’m fine with doing my own oil changes and trans flushes and so on, just thought I’d reach out and ask your opinion on your experiences. Thanks and love the videos!
Congrats in advance! I’d personally do the PDI myself to keep the techs from scratching/marring/screwing something up. I have a video that covers the process. As for oil changes… do it yourself for the same reasons or at least what it being done.
@@ShelbyFlyer thank you!! First new car I’ve owned, figured it’s time to treat myself. Been dailying a twin turbo v8 swapped Ford Ranger for years now, want something with new technology in it. Not the most practical build to be dailying but it’s been flawless!
& awesome, thanks for the reply sir. I was considering doing that myself as well. I have a 2 post lift at home but I imagine I will need to raise the car some time get the legs under it. What sort of ramps would you recommend to help with this?
@@4digitShelby Here is the PDI video… stand by for the ramps…

@@4digitShelby These ramps work like a champ!
th-cam.com/video/BQrCxfkpXLQ/w-d-xo.html
@@ShelbyFlyer ahhhh that’s what I was looking for!! I knew I had seen a video from you about some ramps. Thanks again!! Is the amsoil the go to for the gt500’s now? I want to go ahead and pick up everything needed for an oil change and trans flush when the mileage comes for it.
Could you provide where you got your shirt. Can’t find it anywhere.
Marshall Brookshire Ebay! I have purchased a couple from there.
where did you get that shirt?
Ebay!
Do you have traction control on during the launch ?
Yes! Traction control is needed for launch control.
Can you turn off traction control in LC so you don’t get bog right off the line?
@@waylongoebel The whole point of launch control is that it uses traction control to get you off the line without spinning too much. If you turn off traction control you’ll just do a massive burnout.
Your setting a bad example for junior
It would be “you’re” and my 20 year old son is a good, competent driver. He understands that there is a time and a place for spirited driving.
ShelbyFlyer Lol, all jokes aside that car looks amazing! R u getting the same color?
Yes sir I sure am! The CFTP will have painted OTT stripes though with no side stripes.
