I love my 2013 GT500. We brought it to Germany and it loves the autobahn. Very few cars can keep up but now I generally cruise between 100-150 MPH. Even now it is strange to pass the Polizei. Great review!
Lucky, I got this monster in my castrate and I can barely take in out of 4th evan on the freeway it catches up real quick with the guy on the fast lane and he's going fast. I just got a 2010 and it's fast well I did add a few things😅
@MsMatt069 MAN I HAVE A 08 GT500 AND MY 07 SHELBY GT AND MY 07 427 EDITION CONVERTIBLE SUPER SNAKE AND MY 2010 KENNY BELL GRABBER BLUE COUPE SUPER SNAKE AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THE 2010 GT500 GET SO MUCH HATE AND HONESTLY MY 10 SS IS A AWSOME BADASS FAST CAR THAT JUST LOOKS AMAZING BUT MY FAVORITE BODY STYLE IS MY 08 GT500 AND MY 07 427 EDITION CONVERTIBLE SUPER SNAKE AND I PLAN ON BUYING ANOTHER SUPER SNAKE 07 09 COUPE SUPER SNAKE WITH THE 427 PACKAGE LIKE MY CONVERTIBLE AND SEND IT TO SHELBY AMERICAN TOO HAVE THE 3.6 KENNY BELL BLOWER AND THE HOLE SHOT PACKAGE SO AT THAT TIME IT WILL HAVE OVER 1000HP AND HONESTLY MY COUPE SUPER SNAKE MAKES ALMOST 800HP AT THE TIRE AND IT'S STUPID FAST BUT WITH THE HOLE SHOT PACKAGE IT WILL HAVE 200HP MORE AND THAT WILL BE A SICK CAR AND IT WILL JUST ADD TOO THE VALUE OF A SUPER SNAKE.
My son bought the 2014 in 2013, but he lives in Georgia so the car has been in my garage in Vegas from basically day 1. We changed out the tires in 2019 with about 7,000 miles on it and it made a world of difference. So fun to drive and it is the grey with black racing stripes. Talking about a head turner.
This era of Mustang is my favorite. I don’t have the gt I have the v6 premium, but this era of Mustang is just so badass. Muscle, sleek and aggressive. And they’re so modifiable. I loooove these cars so much
This one is the best generation in my opinion. The styling is just iconic that it has the classic characteristics on it. Don't get me wrong I do love the current GT500 but this one is arguably the best evolution ever after the classic GT500
Nice review, Joe. My dream car for a long time, so I bought the ‘14 white with blue stripes with all the bells and whistles to include the glass roof. You hit the nail on the head. Mickey Thompson street slicks and a small intake upgrade to remove silencer (yep!) really transformed this beast...Nothing but traction and blower whine! The rear headrests fold down too. I eat my twinkies and enjoy my IPAs for hours while looking at the masterpiece under the hood.
Awesome car. Miss this style. Like it better than the new ones. Can’t really knock its faults compared to a new one. 2014 tech vs 2020. Big difference. The difference is independent rear suspension. Ford went as far as they could w the solid rear axle Great video sir
@Andrew V if you want handling then this isnt the car to buy. aside from a solid rear end, the car weighs over 4 thousand pounds. this gen gt500 shines best when used as a drag racing platform. if you want a car from this generation with power and better handling then get a c6 zo6 for about the same price. obviously independent rear suspension would be better for handling, but with that solid rear end youve got a more reliable setup for drag racing.
Just 1 min into the video and want to say this is my favorite Shelby year. Well actually the 2013 but they are the same thing. It may not be the most sophisticated but at least it was just below or at 60k for 662hp and 200mph. That is value.
I have the 2013 GT500 SVT 20th Anniversary has 13000 miles on it. Its not my daily driver obviously. Ill never sell it. The power is insane. I drove a 2020 Shelby no thanks. Good video! Price is totally fair for the insane power. Tires don't matter unless you run slicks, I've tried 3 different brands and cant get traction unless its hot outside and even then they slip.
MAN I HAVE 2 SUPER SNAKES AND MY 08 GT500 THAT HAS 850HP AND MY SUPER SNAKES ALSO HAVE A LOT OF POWER AND GETTING TRACTION WAS MY BIGGEST PROBLEM BUT I HAD MY RIMS CUT AND 2 INCHES ADDED AND A REALLY STICKY TIRE AND ALL 3 REALLY HOOK A LOT BETTER AND DO I THINK THEY WILL EVER HOOK 100 PERCENT ON THE STREET LOL NO BUT MY CONVERTIBLE SUPER SNAKE HAS ROUGHLY 650HP AND MY GT500 HAS 850HP AND MY GRABBER BLUE COUPE SUPER SNAKE HAS OVER 900HP AND WITH THOSE KIND OF NUMBERS IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO HOOK 100 PERCENT ON A NON PREPPED SURFACE.
Love the small history lessons throughout the review! Man this car is a beast! Owners: please take care of it! Takes a real good driver to be behind the wheel of one of these. The 13-14 body style to me is perfect! I’ll one day own either this same Shelby with Recaro seats or a 13 Boss 302 Laguna Seca in black
@@RaitisRides In my opinion the first year Carroll came back 07 they have come down on the prices but in the future they will rise in value.Now as for a 07 SUPER SNAKE back in 07 big money.They were marking them up 20 25 grand I didn't agree with that.Now as for my 07 427 convertible super snake.They built 44 convertibles and just 7 in my color torch red and signed by Shelby.The car has 3 build numbers one as a 07 convertible 2 as a super snake and 3 with the rare 427 package.Think of it like this they built 562 65 GT350s and there a half a million dollars.So 562 vs 178 car's with the 427 package all signed by Shelby but just 44 convertibles and 1 of 7 in my color torch red.So 562 vs 178.Not even half.Also my 07 427 super snake has 850miles on the car.Its like money in the bank.I bought it back in 14 and its held all it's value period.
Like your videos. You seem to know what you're talking about as opposed to other videos I've watched. Rabid car guy here. I've driven V8 Stangs for more than 20 years as my daily driver 🙂 I owned a 2011 Shelby, took delivery in November 2010. Hell of a car. When Ford announced the 5.8 liter I was ticked off! Keep up the great work. This video has special interest for me as I'll be buying a low mileage 2014 soon. The 2020 is too expensive & no manual. Yuck.
Great review, Joe, and a beast of a car. FYI, 2010-2014 Mustang back seat head-rests can fold down, making visibility out of the back excellent. So there should be no zonk for that. :-)
Spot on, on the tires. Those stock Eagle f1 are trash unless you get them really warm. I put pilot sport 4's on my '13 GT 500 and it transformed the car. I've thought about upgrading to the new GT 500, but my 13 is still so much fun after all these years, I cant part ways with it. The 13-14 GT 500 is the guy in the bar you don't mess with.
I can’t believe that’s the first 2014 GT500 you’ve driven.... that things is a BEAST.... if I was picking I’d get that one for sure!!! It has more of the retro look AND the hp is CRAZY!!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Looks like you had a BLAST!!!!!!
Love the GT500 reviews. I’ve got a ‘13 Shelby convertible and it is awesome!!! Goes like hell!! Only zonk on this particular car are the seats: needs Recaros. But the Performance Package is boss! The interior is throwback retro. Cue ball knob is so cool. Let’s be clear: you buy this car for the smiles to the Ken Miles!!!
This is the appropriate updated version of the mustang. The 2015 refresh to me was overkill although the look has grown on me. This version still looks like the mustang we all grew up with but more modern. I had a 2013 (not a 500) and loved it. It was great to see this car.
I brought a 2014 Super Snake I have to admit it's the dream car! I replaced two of your Zonks, changed the license late panel to carbon and added hood gas struts to get rid of the ugly prop. Another zonked removed it the Kenne Bell the Super Snake has whines the second you turn it on. It's one hell of a car for sure, your reaction to "on throttle" is how I feel every time, you need to get your hands on a 2014 SS and see how they compare.
Had a 2014 GT and I lusted after one of these bad boys so much. One thing I think I would change is give this monster 3.73 gears instead of the 3.31 it has. Otherwise, it’s perfect.
Wow! It’s not even broken in well yet. Someone’s gonna get an awesome car and save some money over a new one. Especially if you like a manual trans. Thanks for the ride Joe. Nice job! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Hi Zonkman! Love this car and although it's a 7 year old car it drives like none other but perfection will never exist. Love the 6-speed manual because you don't have to wait for the transmission to change automatically from one Gear to the next because it's a 0 speed Automatic transmission. You have to shift yourself, the car will not do it for you.
Thank you Zonkman, if you were to drive another car like this, will you share what I had said to you? That's a tip from me to you Zonkman. To really drive the point home you're really going to do the shifting yourself, the car won't shift for you automatically. There's no drive, neutral, reverse or park.
I'm sure buried in the comments you will find a similar comment, but the headrests in the back seat fold down, so nothing to zonk there. Traction is solved with PS4S tires (wider will also help). Supercharger whine shows its venom in the upper RPMs and is very audible at that point a la "I Am Legend". Great review, keep 'em coming. I personally opted to buy a 14 GT500 in 2019 after test driving the 2020 GT500 at the Ford Performance Vegas event, but they are both fun cars. BUT, I will say, the 14 GT500 wants to kill you everyday, which in the end is what I love about it. Respect!
Love my recent 2012 purchase with only 7600 miles when I picked it up this past December. 2nd gear = no traction but new tires will be on order soon. Definitely smiles per gallon driving a Shelby GT500 with that crisp 6 speed manual!
Great review Joe! Love the look of this one, stripe delete cars are so much sexier. This video shows me exactly why I will never own one of those. It is a dangerous car when you try and push it, even with good tires! There is a reason you see so many Mustang crash videos. I've had a Challenger in the past and now have a '12 Mustang GT (with less miles than your feature car). The Challenger was such an easy car to drive fast, the Mustang is an unpredictable car to drive fast...it DEMANDS your respect! Also, it has 2 antennas because the one on the quarter is the AM-FM, the flat one on the deck lid was added on for the satellite radio (not standard in 2014).
Reeves Subaru on Top of the Game with awesome rides...Joe that is one badass Shelby Cobra that STINGS....True Brute USA Muscle Car....so Classic so Iconic! Joe and Lori you did justice to this sexy beast. Salute!
I have a 2013 gt500 same color as the one you are in. People dont understand how quik the car is until they ride in it. Stock tires suck for sure. Nittos work well for me. That third gear pull you were doing puts you back in your seat so hard once you get up in speed. Pulls to 135mph. Ha. And it's pull is crazy hard on the way. Like a dream.
A year ago we moved back to the Tampa, FL after 6+ years in Germany. We took our 2013 GT500 and it was a blast to drive her the way she was intended on the autobahns. Mine was modified a bit, so going over 200 mph was very easy to do, but I only did that about 8 to 10 times. On average I did 120 to 160 mph when I could. There is a lot of road construction and they have slow down areas of 60/70 mph. There's been a movement to get rid of the unlimited speeds and have a EU speed of 120 kph or 72 mph. Hopefully that day will never come.
My dream car from ford: i remember having a bedroom poster of this car, even though i never driven this i got alot of respect for it, plus the last live rear axle mustang, from how this car looks as well as sound you can tell it instantly means business from the get go. The s197 gt500 platform is just something out of this world, that makes this generation mustang looks good as well as cleaner, plus the manual as well gives you full control of the car: driver & machine that what this car is all about.
Still very relevant today and with a pulley swap and tune another 35-40 horses is easily reached. Love your enthusiasm Joe, 13' and 14's have the best lines, jmo.
Yooooooooooow Joe this machine is an absolute beast of a brute!!! 2014 was a great year for the GT500 for sure!!! It went out with a heck of a bang!!! I'm getting serious Transformers vibes from the front end of this thing!!! Absolutely brutal!!! And that exhaust note is something else!!!! Thanks for bringing us this bad bad bad mammajamma , Joe!!! #RaitisRides #OnThrottle #ToTheDoorPanel #TwinkiesForDays #OnThrottleAgain #LoriGotAngles #CameraQueen #Zonkmeister #OnThrottleAllOverThePlace #IfYoureReadyImReady #Ford #Mustang #Shelby #GT500 #448kSubscribersAndCounting
Great review as always! Love your content, almost bought a 350r from your review but ended up with a 2014 GT500 vert. The supercharger was the big selling point. And I hate that the 2020 Gt500s are autos. Love seeing you do throwback videos like this. Would love to see you do one on the FJ cruiser, 2014, last year of production. I own one of those as well. Keep up the great work!
I’ve always wanted one of these not only are they absolutely gorgeous but they’re different from a normal Coyote they drive different and they sound so much better imo. One day imma get one.
Just love a GT500. This one is gonzo, which is perfect for the last iteration of that generation. Thank you so much for the work on all the videos, Lori!
Hey Joe, I love your videos! Keep up the awesome work, as your passion and enthusiasm for cars really shines! One request: I’m a station wagon lover, and would LOVE LOVE LOVE if you reviewed the Jaguar XF Sportbrake, as this wagon is seldom, if ever seen or talked about.
Joe I believe that bumper spot is meant to accommodate a European insert for euro plates. That's what I was told; even though they didn't sell alot of these outside the states, it was easier to swap the plastic insert than a new bumper.
I think the 11-14 mustangs were the best looking in my opinion, and I think this GT500 is such a beautiful monster, I’d take this 100x over the new ones. LOVE THIS CAR
Let me put it this way Joe, you don't need a door pocket full of twinkies to bust cream all over that interior. That thing delivers unlimited smiles per gallon 😃 Great review brother! Looks like you had a blast! 🤙🏻🤙🏻
I have a 2014 GT500. I ordered it new in 2014. I absolutely love my car. It is such a hoot to drive!! If you get this car, get upgraded poly bushing upper and lower control arms as well as panhard bar. Wider wheels with 315mm in the rear is also a must. Getting the car to 800 bhp is not tough. Lower OD pulley, air intake, throttle body, tune and LT headers. Switching to 3.73 gears is also recommended 👌
I have a 22' GT 6-speed ordered. Test drove one. They're great. But they're not *quite* as sexy as the S197s were in my book, especially the Shelbys. What an awesome car.
I was 8 when I saw my first Mustang in 2010. And it’s something really close to my heart and always will be. And as always rest in speed Shelby. You will always be remembered.
Isn't it amazing, how Joe is not only devoted to making great videos, but spends in lots of time answering comments? He's my hero and favorite car video host. I watched Raiti's Rides all week and wanted to buy a couple cars, The mazda 6 carbon edition and the K5 GT. I went to the car wash today and had my 17 accord V6 washed and polished. Hey Joe, there's requests for the ninth generation accord videos. Maybe you can do one with my car: 2017 accord V6 touring black on black?
Lorie did good cameras tracking in and out while you show case the exterior. Her reflection was minimal - hard to accomplish due to the gloss black. Smooth, keep up the good work.
You can fold down the headrests easily... thats not a problem at all What i like about most fords with superchargers is the fact that they dont have that annoying whine like other supercharged cars. They kept most of a naturally aspirated classic sound on most of their vehicles which is one of the best parts. I like this review. More please!!!
The head rest fold down in the rear and if you option the ricaro front buckets are soft and really plants you in the seats. And if it’s 80 degrees the tires will hook just fine when the temp is right then tires are fine
The answer to the title question Joe is Hell No!!! The 2020 version is a gem. It’s a shame that Ford didn’t keep the GT350 around for the manual transmission lovers but it’ll be back in a few years. The Queen 👸🏼 is unstoppable. Lori is he camera person of the year. 👍
Seat heads fold down and for tires you need the 305 Nitto drags on there. Even still, there won’t be much traction. Car is an insane death machine. Thanks Ford. LoL. Loves the videos brother. Very thorough!
Awesome! Great content! I have a 2013! Recaro seats and glass roof to go along with the same options! Love my car! No navigation though. Also same color and no stripes! Ordered mine! Tape stripe delete! Looks better! 2013 on the door sill says 20th anniversary svt!
By far my favorite Shelby GT500. These Trinity motors hit SO HARD with just a few mods and were bespoke to this car. I have a couple videos on my channel of modded ones and they make SO MUCH TORQUE and sound so dang good that you just can't beat the visceral driving experience! Are they perfect? By no means, but for me, they're a special, special car.
Owning Several track toys and now a proud owner of a 2013, the misconception of nothing being able to handle is very false indeed. Being a live axle yes limits tuning capabilities for the rear but it still handles great in the mountains. Definitely a all around type of car.
To me this mustang has a more aggressive muscular stance, and those taillights are so much better.
I totally agree with you!
My grandparents have 2014 convertible old if should be excited for it lol cuz I don’t like convertibles but I’ll drive it
Naw the 20 is definitely more aggressive, that front end alone.
@@thefitnesslife4988 it’s not muscular anymore though
@@RaitisRides the proportions are perfect.😘
this gen was so good. you had these and the cali special with the full glass roof. best body style imo. id love to drive one of these one day
I totally agree with you!
I have a 2012 I bought for 4k its so nice
Definitely the best body style imo as well, just so beautiful and really matches a mustang for sure
15 mpg/city?
24 mpg/highway?
For a big supercharged V8, that's actually really damn good!

its better to have a solid rear diff, this gen of gt500 is mainly a straight line car. solid rear end is better for power upgrades.

Had a 2014 GT and I lusted after one of these bad boys so much. One thing I think I would change is give this monster 3.73 gears instead of the 3.31 it has. Otherwise, it’s perfect.
My dream car 🔥
Dream big man!
@@RaitisRides I m from Saudi Arabia and I have 13 gt500 bolts on and with 3.73 gear it's fuckin fast monster 👌
Me too bro
Wow! It’s not even broken in well yet. Someone’s gonna get an awesome car and save some money over a new one. Especially if you like a manual trans. Thanks for the ride Joe. Nice job! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
You are so very right Larry!
Absolute diamond you found here. Amazingly low mileage. Yes!! I'd take this for the $$$ over a new GT500.
"There is never enough horsepower......just not enough traction" - Shelby
Hi Zonkman! Love this car and although it's a 7 year old car it drives like none other but perfection will never exist. Love the 6-speed manual because you don't have to wait for the transmission to change automatically from one Gear to the next because it's a 0 speed Automatic transmission. You have to shift yourself, the car will not do it for you.
Good call man!
Thank you Zonkman, if you were to drive another car like this, will you share what I had said to you? That's a tip from me to you Zonkman. To really drive the point home you're really going to do the shifting yourself, the car won't shift for you automatically. There's no drive, neutral, reverse or park.
The Mercedes rocks!
I'm sure buried in the comments you will find a similar comment, but the headrests in the back seat fold down, so nothing to zonk there. Traction is solved with PS4S tires (wider will also help). Supercharger whine shows its venom in the upper RPMs and is very audible at that point a la "I Am Legend". Great review, keep 'em coming. I personally opted to buy a 14 GT500 in 2019 after test driving the 2020 GT500 at the Ford Performance Vegas event, but they are both fun cars. BUT, I will say, the 14 GT500 wants to kill you everyday, which in the end is what I love about it. Respect!
Thanks for sharing that great input!
My brother anh I dream car 🔥
Same here
Same but I want mine in white with blue stripes
Same
Nomore dreaming bro, let’s get it!
make that dream into reality gotta have a mindset believe in yourself anything is possible 🙏
So awesome you were able to find this car. I remember you saying on one of your comments (paraphrasing) that these are hard to find
Love my recent 2012 purchase with only 7600 miles when I picked it up this past December. 2nd gear = no traction but new tires will be on order soon. Definitely smiles per gallon driving a Shelby GT500 with that crisp 6 speed manual!
Great review Joe! Love the look of this one, stripe delete cars are so much sexier. This video shows me exactly why I will never own one of those. It is a dangerous car when you try and push it, even with good tires! There is a reason you see so many Mustang crash videos. I've had a Challenger in the past and now have a '12 Mustang GT (with less miles than your feature car). The Challenger was such an easy car to drive fast, the Mustang is an unpredictable car to drive fast...it DEMANDS your respect! Also, it has 2 antennas because the one on the quarter is the AM-FM, the flat one on the deck lid was added on for the satellite radio (not standard in 2014).
Thanks for letting me share it with you Jack and thanks for your great input!
There is a intake muffler that keeps the whine. If you replace the intake with a jlt 123mm intake you will hear the supercharger whine.
Joe you know we love Mustang just nailed again!
I am so glad that I can bring this one to you!
Reeves Subaru on Top of the Game with awesome rides...Joe that is one badass Shelby Cobra that STINGS....True Brute USA Muscle Car....so Classic so Iconic! Joe and Lori you did justice to this sexy beast. Salute!
I totally agree with you man! Thanks for letting us bring it to you!
The new GT500 Look sick I won't lie. But for the price & body style, id still go with a 2014. Still the best looking muscle car to me
I have a 2013 gt500 same color as the one you are in. People dont understand how quik the car is until they ride in it. Stock tires suck for sure. Nittos work well for me. That third gear pull you were doing puts you back in your seat so hard once you get up in speed. Pulls to 135mph. Ha. And it's pull is crazy hard on the way. Like a dream.
A year ago we moved back to the Tampa, FL after 6+ years in Germany. We took our 2013 GT500 and it was a blast to drive her the way she was intended on the autobahns. Mine was modified a bit, so going over 200 mph was very easy to do, but I only did that about 8 to 10 times. On average I did 120 to 160 mph when I could. There is a lot of road construction and they have slow down areas of 60/70 mph. There's been a movement to get rid of the unlimited speeds and have a EU speed of 120 kph or 72 mph. Hopefully that day will never come.
My dream car from ford: i remember having a bedroom poster of this car, even though i never driven this i got alot of respect for it, plus the last live rear axle mustang, from how this car looks as well as sound you can tell it instantly means business from the get go.
The s197 gt500 platform is just something out of this world, that makes this generation mustang looks good as well as cleaner, plus the manual as well gives you full control of the car: driver & machine that what this car is all about.
A friend of mine has a white/blue stripe 2010 GT 500. It's a low mileage example in near mint condition. I'd take it all day long over a new one.
That is awesome!
@@RaitisRides It is. I have a video on my channel with him going through the gears on an on ramp. I love that car.
@@GLHS592 That is very cool!
As good as the current Mustang looks and performs, I would still take this bad boy in a heartbeat.
I know how you feel!
Still very relevant today and with a pulley swap and tune another 35-40 horses is easily reached. Love your enthusiasm Joe, 13' and 14's have the best lines, jmo.
Beautiful GT500. Hell 13’ 14’ low mileage GTs are getting hard to come by. S197s are definitely more sought after then any other year.
Kick ass reviews! You’re getting big man! Keep up the good work!
Than brother for having my back and being so supportive!
Yes, hands down.
So much horse power, aesthetically pleasing.
You could make a handful of mods, and make so much more horse power.
This is very true!
God the 13-14 mustang gt/500s are so good looking from factory man not even counting the aftermarket appearance mods that people do to em!
Miss my 2013… she was perfect. Thank you Mr. Shelby you still rock! Triple O.G. 🫵🏽😎🫵🏽😉❤️💯
Yooooooooooow Joe this machine is an absolute beast of a brute!!! 2014 was a great year for the GT500 for sure!!! It went out with a heck of a bang!!! I'm getting serious Transformers vibes from the front end of this thing!!! Absolutely brutal!!! And that exhaust note is something else!!!! Thanks for bringing us this bad bad bad mammajamma , Joe!!! #RaitisRides #OnThrottle #ToTheDoorPanel #TwinkiesForDays #OnThrottleAgain #LoriGotAngles #CameraQueen #Zonkmeister #OnThrottleAllOverThePlace #IfYoureReadyImReady #Ford #Mustang #Shelby #GT500 #448kSubscribersAndCounting
You better believe it Mario! Have a great weekend!
Great review as always! Love your content, almost bought a 350r from your review but ended up with a 2014 GT500 vert. The supercharger was the big selling point. And I hate that the 2020 Gt500s are autos. Love seeing you do throwback videos like this. Would love to see you do one on the FJ cruiser, 2014, last year of production. I own one of those as well. Keep up the great work!
Same, was looking back in 19 at a 350R but found a 14 vert with 4000 miles on it. Still have a smile on my face
yes i have a 2014 the last of the manual gt500
You are very lucky!
Just bought a 13 GT500. candy metallic red, SVT package, electronics package and navigation. Recaro leather seats. 1700 miles on the odometer.
damn how much
I’ve always wanted one of these not only are they absolutely gorgeous but they’re different from a normal Coyote they drive different and they sound so much better imo. One day imma get one.
I totally agree with you!
Something About That Squared Muscular Aggressive Look. S197 The Best Bodystyle For The Mustang
This is THE GT500 I still want did a whole class project on the s197 version and still plan on getting it
Just love a GT500. This one is gonzo, which is perfect for the last iteration of that generation. Thank you so much for the work on all the videos, Lori!
This is the best looking modern mustang imo.
Hey Joe, I love your videos! Keep up the awesome work, as your passion and enthusiasm for cars really shines! One request: I’m a station wagon lover, and would LOVE LOVE LOVE if you reviewed the Jaguar XF Sportbrake, as this wagon is seldom, if ever seen or talked about.
No honestly this will be my favorite car forever. These are one of the most iconic muscle cars of all time!
christ, this is possibly one of the greatest sounding V8's of all time.
I totally agree with you Alex!
Joe I believe that bumper spot is meant to accommodate a European insert for euro plates. That's what I was told; even though they didn't sell alot of these outside the states, it was easier to swap the plastic insert than a new bumper.
I think they should have a unique to region of the world lower bumper area.
@@RaitisRides I couldn't agree more but we both well know how the accounting department would feel about that 😄
Damn thats a great price for all that you get, and waay low mileage. Pretty sweet.
Tell me about it! I was very tempted.
FORD should bring the “TRINITY” back in a KR version just for the Demon
I think the 11-14 mustangs were the best looking in my opinion, and I think this GT500 is such a beautiful monster, I’d take this 100x over the new ones. LOVE THIS CAR
Just purchased this same car he is spot on....it is a beast
Let me put it this way Joe, you don't need a door pocket full of twinkies to bust cream all over that interior. That thing delivers unlimited smiles per gallon 😃 Great review brother! Looks like you had a blast! 🤙🏻🤙🏻
You are so very right about that Eric! Thank you for letting me share it with you!
@@RaitisRides Absolutely man! Makes me really miss my 5.0 6 speed 😥 Someday I'll have another one.
@@ericd1632 yes you will man!
Btw here’s a button for the rear headrests that tilt them forward, so minus 1 zonk.
I was going to say it, you beat me to it!
I have a 2014 GT500. I ordered it new in 2014. I absolutely love my car. It is such a hoot to drive!! If you get this car, get upgraded poly bushing upper and lower control arms as well as panhard bar. Wider wheels with 315mm in the rear is also a must. Getting the car to 800 bhp is not tough. Lower OD pulley, air intake, throttle body, tune and LT headers. Switching to 3.73 gears is also recommended 👌
I have a 22' GT 6-speed ordered. Test drove one. They're great. But they're not *quite* as sexy as the S197s were in my book, especially the Shelbys. What an awesome car.
I was 8 when I saw my first Mustang in 2010. And it’s something really close to my heart and always will be. And as always rest in speed Shelby. You will always be remembered.
Theres actually some pretty good deals for these things used, im more of a truck guy but man, this is tempting!
You are so very right John!
Sounds amazing. Mustang's put out the best sounding car since the foxbody was born.
You are so very right Moirris!
I've been waiting for one of these on the channel!! This video was so great, such a special car!!!
I am so glad that I could finally bring it to you!
That 2014 GT-500 wit drag tire will slap a Dodge Hellcat on the highway with a good driver no problem.
As long as the driver knows what they are doing!
Isn't it amazing, how Joe is not only devoted to making great videos, but spends in lots of time answering comments? He's my hero and favorite car video host. I watched Raiti's Rides all week and wanted to buy a couple cars, The mazda 6 carbon edition and the K5 GT. I went to the car wash today and had my 17 accord V6 washed and polished. Hey Joe, there's requests for the ninth generation accord videos. Maybe you can do one with my car: 2017 accord V6 touring black on black?
I only have 26K miles
Loving the GT500. Always special.
Lorie did good cameras tracking in and out while you show case the exterior. Her reflection was minimal - hard to accomplish due to the gloss black. Smooth, keep up the good work.
This car is absolutely perfect the way it is. I like the 2020 gt500 but if I had to choose between a new gt500 or a 13-14 model I'll take the 13-14.
You can fold down the headrests easily... thats not a problem at all
What i like about most fords with superchargers is the fact that they dont have that annoying whine like other supercharged cars.
They kept most of a naturally aspirated classic sound on most of their vehicles which is one of the best parts.
I like this review.
More please!!!
The head rest fold down in the rear and if you option the ricaro front buckets are soft and really plants you in the seats. And if it’s 80 degrees the tires will hook just fine when the temp is right then tires are fine
The answer to the title question Joe is Hell No!!! The 2020 version is a gem. It’s a shame that Ford didn’t keep the GT350 around for the manual transmission lovers but it’ll be back in a few years. The Queen 👸🏼 is unstoppable. Lori is he camera person of the year. 👍
Seat heads fold down and for tires you need the 305 Nitto drags on there. Even still, there won’t be much traction. Car is an insane death machine. Thanks Ford. LoL.
Loves the videos brother. Very thorough!
without watching the video first, i'm gonna say yes just based on the look. 2014 was the best looking stang of all time
Awesome! Great content! I have a 2013! Recaro seats and glass roof to go along with the same options! Love my car! No navigation though. Also same color and no stripes! Ordered mine! Tape stripe delete! Looks better! 2013 on the door sill says 20th anniversary svt!
This looks identical to my 2014 GT500, I even have the factory stripe delete like this. Mine has 7,500 miles. Love the car!
Falling in love with this car again😍 that exhaust note! Dodge and chevy boys must pay respect this was the car that admired their ZL1 and Hellcats.
The best looking mustang ever 😎👌🚗
WOW....a beast like the 60's.....hardest thing was traction.....but the feel. Thanks Joe.
This thing felt great!
Haha you did it joe! You got the 2014 gt 500. A true man of his word! You really are the best in the game brother!🤟🏼
By far my favorite Shelby GT500. These Trinity motors hit SO HARD with just a few mods and were bespoke to this car. I have a couple videos on my channel of modded ones and they make SO MUCH TORQUE and sound so dang good that you just can't beat the visceral driving experience! Are they perfect? By no means, but for me, they're a special, special car.
My dream muscle car! Awesome job Joe.
the resonator on air intake is what kills the supercharger whine. change the intake and put a mail in tune then itl sound as good as it runs.
Owning Several track toys and now a proud owner of a 2013, the misconception of nothing being able to handle is very false indeed. Being a live axle yes limits tuning capabilities for the rear but it still handles great in the mountains. Definitely a all around type of car.
