Definetely. From a roll the new GT500 is just as fast as a V12 Lambo Aventador or Ferari 488GTB. They aren't brand new supercars but still , who would've thought 3-5 yrs ago that stock Mustang can be that fast. And it's not just a straight line, it's faster than Huracan or Aventador on a racetrack
My Mustang 2020 10r80 handled like a floaty bouncy boat around big sweeping turns when stock. Once I decided on a Whipple I got serious with the suspension. H&R coilovers, sway bars, BMR rear mods and good semislick tyres and it now honestly handles like a race car. Flat around corners and as long as you have good throttle control around bends/corners its very stable at speed.
I drove a new gt500 on a track it handles amazing. Go watch throttle house it's good in race suspension mode. If I had this stilm I wouldnt touch the suspension
You mentioned about not doing 0-60 from a dead stop, otherwise you'll leave tread. A tip my Uncle Eddie, who did racing, gave me (and this goes for your viewers too): Start firm, but don't slam it until you clearly have traction. Any time your tires squeal, you lose time. I used this method with my dad's 2013 5.0L V8 F-150 against a stock 2009 mustang. I actually did a faster quarter mile than the Mustang because of it. He thought it was tuned. Told him nope. You just just don't know how to drive fast. Don't burn out. 🤣
I’m definitely more of a believer in the slow car fast philosophy, but still, it’s wicked what this GT500 is capable of. Gotta remind myself how lucky we are to live in the automotive times that we do. Cars like this won’t be around forever. Just glad they’re here now.

I have the 2021 Roush stage 3 with 760hp supercharged. The car loves the upper 7-8k rev range. It goes from 75 to 130 in a nanosecond flash. The car is scary fast but handles fantastic. Best Mustangs for speed muscle, drag and track.

Yea but like u saw in the video u can’t use its full capabilities on the street, or most tracks even.

As a GM guy, the GT500 was the first Mustang ever to make my jaw drop. I was at the Detroit auto show during the industry reveal day.

@@hagoty8234 Yeah pretty sure I was talking about the fresh styling and the inclusion of the DCT back in 2019 which impressed me. There is more to a car than just how much HP it packs under the hood right?
I clicked on this video just to browse thinking that I was going to get bored but boy I was wrong. You've captivated me with this video so much that I am actually considering the Shelby now. I definitely have more respect for it now than before.
I just drove one of these through xtreme experience at loudon in NH!! All i can say is what an animal this car is! Had a good laugh at the end of my drive… 33 miles till empty with a half tank of fuel 🤦🏻♂️😂😂
Definitely love what they built here. Definitely come back the hellcat and the ZL1 but I'm still sad the car does not come with the manual transmission. Very sad that they might stop making manuals. I get that those automatics are extremely fast and great for performance but man, manual transmissions aren't for speed they are for fun and to help engage with your vehicle a lot more. I feel so much more connected to my car in a manual I'm with newer technology they can make manuals easier to drive instead of just eliminating them. But it's not the end of the world since we do have plenty of manual cars available still. Love your POV's, would love to see you drive the most iconic mustang ever made the 03 to 04 terminator cobra. They are menacing.
So here I am in 2023. I searched the nation for one. I got it locally, oddly enough, and I absolutely could not be more impressed. Btw I own a C8 as well. The GT500 is truly one of the most thrilling, well thought out, amazing cars ever produced. Period. You cannot go wrong. - Don't hesitate. You go around once.
This is one of my dream cars. I wanna get one in orange. I want no other year model but this year because it's absolutely beautiful. Has that 5.2 supercharged engine with that 7 speed dual clutch transmission. A recipe for awesomeness.
that feature that auto downshifts to whatever it feels appropriate depending on gas input is amazing. it basically force prevents you from bogging the engine by flooring in 7th gear
I'm not a Ford guy, but they have (in my opinion) perfected the muscle car exhaust note. They took that classic 60's Steve McQueen sound and brought into the modern age.
Ford is awesome at 1) sports cars 2) trucks 3) SUVs. They sell a ton of all 3 an lead there respective classes with those vehicles. I love Ford. An all American icon & goin strong 120yrs later. You should really drive one sir. You may be very impressed. All my whole family buys! F150s, Aviators, Explorers, Escapes.
learned a couple things and gained perspective from this video. so cool when a car guy who also has an engineering degree (not saying you're the only one here on YT, Tedward) does the review.
Its ran its life cycle. Very successful 5yr run! Can't get new anymore. The new Mach 1 is up now. Im on waiting list for next one comes to state of Ohio! Dep dwn since Mar. Can't wait.
@@Davido50 yes but the GT350 pops and crackles like Coco Puffs with a little milk. The GT350 hugs curves very well. However you can get a nice track package for the GT500.

Love this Mustang but in a different colour. In Britain we didn’t get to buy the Mustang from Ford until 10 years ago and it has become a reasonably common sight on the roads here 👍. But not the Shelby GT500 which is a beast. I’m sure Ford, if it was financially worth it, could built a 4WD Mustang with handling to match any factory car in the world as they can already build great engines. If I won the lottery I would own a 2022/23 Shelby Mustang for fun with a Focus ST as my daily car. Ford are an amazing company with a fabulous history in every area of racing whether F1, NASCAR, European Saloon Cars, drag racing or rallying Ford have won in it.
Ur lucky man sir! I suggest u add a new Mach 1 to ur stable if you have the means. Those 2 Stangs will only appreciate in future! I have a '20 F150 Raptor! Im a truck guy so I got the best:)
The only problem with this car is the price and the fact that a used 350 for 50-60k is a near identical experience, but with a stick, and "slower" for the street. Yes please.
Clearly, your comment of “a near identical experience” shows how limited your knowledge is between the GT350 and this new GT500. I have both, and theeeeey arrrre drastically different cars in every way.
@Ricky Anthony …Ok you caught me, I’m only saying I have both to impress “Ricky Anthony”. Wish I could have tricked ya into believing a total stranger, that could give a crap less what you think.😂😂👍🏼
Saw a 77 year old guy driving one of these on the Cherohala Skyway… what. A. Car!!! He looped back around to show it off to us. He came flying in like a pit stop and said “how do ya like that fellas?!” He hit 125 along the Skyway which is just stupid. Unreal car and I hope I can be like that guy at 77!!
S550's handle the rain miles better than the S197, even with the difference my girlfriends 13 GT feels fine in the rain even being a bit aggressive. My S550 just handles better overall.
Rented one for a full week. It will take you 2-3 days to get a hang of this car. Either you respect it or you will crash. This things spins wheels at third gear. But once you are out in the open, on your own, with great roads, it will got to 180 mph limited with so much easy. It sounds amazing but it can be real quiet on quite mode. Sport mode is loud, and track mode is simply terrifying.
@@dylanmartino7975 Micro scratches in the clear (top) coat of the paint. They can happen very easily. Always use a wet soft cloth to clean the car (that is already wet too), and avoid placing any object (paper is a good example) which could cause swirl marks. They can be removed with cut & polish, but you can't do that too many times without getting the paint too thin.
Dodge does have more power, but crap handling. This car is overall excitement. Just like the Trx, more power but nose/heavy as hell boat anchor. That truck is a joke. They had all that time to make that truck and it is a joke..
Here, watch this video and see who won. Oh yeah the GT500 accelerated faster than Hellcat and gapped it. 200 MPH brick get gapped by a 182 MPH Sports Car, Dodge loser 🤣
@@johnt6673 because all Chrysler did was take a 25 year old Mercedes platform that only ever had 500hp in it at the most, threw 700-1000hp at it and called it a day. Those cars are designed to make as much money as quickly as possible with good marketing and a low IQ customer base.
You def need to not give these keys to just anybody. The traction control works very well on this vehicle but you can def feel the rear end trying to get out in front of itself. It's a dangerous car for sure. I've been driving fast acceleration cars since I was 17 yrs old. I'm 56 now and I still get surprised. Caution people.
I like that you didn't pass people at 140mph, and you respected their space. Lots of people that review cars honestly should be arrested for racing their mustangs on highways full of other people
I've driven almost everything from classics to super cars and one of the best times I've had was in an Audi A3 with a DSG gearbox and this was about 15 years ago! Those transmissions are bananas!

I feel so much more connected to my car in a manual I'm with newer technology they can make manuals easier to drive instead of just eliminating them. But it's not the end of the world since we do have plenty of manual cars available still. Love your POV's, would love to see you drive the most iconic mustang ever made the 03 to 04 terminator cobra. They are menacing.
The dad jokes are great, keep them coming.
I love how he waited to blur the number until about 100 and then said that's a big number, as if 40 MPH over the speed limit I assume wasn't enough.
Ford is on a roll. The European ST models are also so great, specially the new Fiesta ST.
I’ve got an American ST and I love it but those euro ones are nuts
Same garbage transmission too
@@Ryan-yi5ro they are manual.
@@castroalves8843 It's not a manual, is a dual clutch transmission which as proven with the Focus/Fiesta etc are complete garbage.
@@Ryan-yi5ro I’m talking about the European version of the 8th generation Fiesta ST, which is only sold in manual.
So here I am in 2023. I searched the nation for one.
I got it locally, oddly enough, and I absolutely could not be more impressed.
Btw I own a C8 as well.
The GT500 is truly one of the most thrilling, well thought out, amazing cars ever produced.
Period.
You cannot go wrong. - Don't hesitate.
You go around once.
Headphones mandatory for this one!
This is one of my dream cars. I wanna get one in orange. I want no other year model but this year because it's absolutely beautiful. Has that 5.2 supercharged engine with that 7 speed dual clutch transmission. A recipe for awesomeness.
6:50 "Ach, Quatsch. What am I? German?" as a German I had to laugh more than I should
Ja hahaha
that feature that auto downshifts to whatever it feels appropriate depending on gas input is amazing. it basically force prevents you from bogging the engine by flooring in 7th gear
Gotta respect the dog walkers 😤
Heck yeah! Plus that doggy big. Would happily pull her into the road for a sniff of that squirrel lol
wow at 12:26 the red car in the side mirror really puts the acceleration into perspective
driving a fast car is like getting the toy you've wanted for months at Christmas. Just makes you giddy
Wow Mexico’s roads are looking nice this time of year
Yea like the North East lol!
Cars are so well thought out...amazing engineering...speed and handling is icing on the cake.
I'm not a Ford guy, but they have (in my opinion) perfected the muscle car exhaust note. They took that classic 60's Steve McQueen sound and brought into the modern age.
Ford is awesome at 1) sports cars 2) trucks 3) SUVs. They sell a ton of all 3 an lead there respective classes with those vehicles. I love Ford. An all American icon & goin strong 120yrs later. You should really drive one sir. You may be very impressed. All my whole family buys! F150s, Aviators, Explorers, Escapes.
@@Davido50 exactly ford is known all around the world nd sells very well, I can’t say the same with chevy and dodge
Driving a bright green mustang with racing stripes. "I don't wanna be noticed" lol
A POV ride of this car that’s what I love
That's my dream car just with the sound alone I'm looking forward getting one in the following future
1:32 sounds like an absolute beast!
One of the best sounding v8 if ever heared.
This car is amazing. Great video, very entertaining.
That beast is built for smiles per gallon. Forget the fuel economy.
Man this thing sounds so good...
learned a couple things and gained perspective from this video. so cool when a car guy who also has an engineering degree (not saying you're the only one here on YT, Tedward) does the review.
I made a walkaround on this beast. I love color of this Shelby! The sound on this is so beautiful.
2:59 literally doesn't even look real. What a car
Would like to see Shelby GT350R next. Less power but its a stick and more controllable than the 500. Wont terrify you on the twisties
Its ran its life cycle. Very successful 5yr run! Can't get new anymore. The new Mach 1 is up now. Im on waiting list for next one comes to state of Ohio! Dep dwn since Mar. Can't wait.
@@Davido50 I saw a new Mach 1while at the dealership and I can confirm that machine is gorgeous
@@Davido50 yes but the GT350 pops and crackles like Coco Puffs with a little milk. The GT350 hugs curves very well. However you can get a nice track package for the GT500.
@@Davido50 Yep, it's becoming a lost art with all cars. Drivers are losing their understanding and "feel" for their cars. Those who have never driven a stick, will never understand. Today's drivers, (especially younger ones) just want to mash the pedal and go fast. Probably won't matter for long - it'll be all electric before you know it.

Looks absolutely amazing!
Looks stunning🔥🔥
1:16 Driver "There's a squirrel there dead in the road in case he gets excited."
Woman walking her dog: "Uh, thank you?"
Dog: "Chasing dead squirrels? Where's the rush man! Where's the fun dude?"
"I don't wanna be noticed"
*Grabber Lime*
Welp lol
Love this Mustang but in a different colour.
In Britain we didn’t get to buy the Mustang from Ford until 10 years ago and it has become a reasonably common sight on the roads here 👍.
But not the Shelby GT500 which is a beast.
I’m sure Ford, if it was financially worth it, could built a 4WD Mustang with handling to match any factory car in the world as they can already build great engines.
If I won the lottery I would own a 2022/23 Shelby Mustang for fun with a Focus ST as my daily car.
Ford are an amazing company with a fabulous history in every area of racing whether F1, NASCAR, European Saloon Cars, drag racing or rallying Ford have won in it.
I think the color is great, I wanted to paint my 51 studebaker pu this color. “ Gotta have it green “ the cost for the paint was crazy
As an owner of this monster! Very nice daily, my grandmother could drive this car no problems
Ur lucky man sir! I suggest u add a new Mach 1 to ur stable if you have the means. Those 2 Stangs will only appreciate in future! I have a '20 F150 Raptor! Im a truck guy so I got the best:)
@@Davido50 thanks man, I was looking at one, but not for a while, ya I like the raptors and seen couple of the Shelby trucks too
11:20 Plot twist: he was just flexing his stang 💪
The only problem with this car is the price and the fact that a used 350 for 50-60k is a near identical experience, but with a stick, and "slower" for the street. Yes please.
Clearly, your comment of “a near identical experience” shows how limited your knowledge is between the GT350 and this new GT500. I have both, and theeeeey arrrre drastically different cars in every way.
@@jakeclayson7647 *they're
@@bfboobie *Thanks Karen
@@jakeclayson7647 you're welcome my kindergarten student
@Ricky Anthony …Ok you caught me, I’m only saying I have both to impress “Ricky Anthony”. Wish I could have tricked ya into believing a total stranger, that could give a crap less what you think.😂😂👍🏼
80mph in 2nd is absolutely insane this cars acceleration is definitely addicting
6:50 i`m German and I never laughed so hard in my life.
Saw a 77 year old guy driving one of these on the Cherohala Skyway… what. A. Car!!! He looped back around to show it off to us. He came flying in like a pit stop and said “how do ya like that fellas?!” He hit 125 along the Skyway which is just stupid. Unreal car and I hope I can be like that guy at 77!!
13:18 SAYS IT ALL
I love it when you blur the speedometer haha
I get nervous driving my '14 v6 in the rain because of the rears, i cant even imagine what this would be like lmao
It would be like Tokyo Drift lol
S550's handle the rain miles better than the S197, even with the difference my girlfriends 13 GT feels fine in the rain even being a bit aggressive. My S550 just handles better overall.
Rented one for a full week. It will take you 2-3 days to get a hang of this car. Either you respect it or you will crash. This things spins wheels at third gear. But once you are out in the open, on your own, with great roads, it will got to 180 mph limited with so much easy. It sounds amazing but it can be real quiet on quite mode. Sport mode is loud, and track mode is simply terrifying.
2:00 Damn those swirl marks already 🙁
What are swirl marks ?
@@dylanmartino7975 Micro scratches in the clear (top) coat of the paint. They can happen very easily. Always use a wet soft cloth to clean the car (that is already wet too), and avoid placing any object (paper is a good example) which could cause swirl marks.
They can be removed with cut & polish, but you can't do that too many times without getting the paint too thin.
That’s why whenever I get a car I custom order it and am there in a person to take delivery. I don’t want the dealer touching my paint at all.
Just drove one one these myself. It’s an incredible car!
The fact you were going 80mph in 3rd gear with only 4rpm is insane.
This car is my literal dream
People will say that this is late to the party, dodge had this power a long time ago, yeah yeah. This is refined.
Dodge does have more power, but crap handling. This car is overall excitement. Just like the Trx, more power but nose/heavy as hell boat anchor. That truck is a joke. They had all that time to make that truck and it is a joke..

Here, watch this video and see who won.
Oh yeah the GT500 accelerated faster than Hellcat and gapped it. 200 MPH brick get gapped by a 182 MPH Sports Car, Dodge loser 🤣
@@johnt6673 because all Chrysler did was take a 25 year old Mercedes platform that only ever had 500hp in it at the most, threw 700-1000hp at it and called it a day. Those cars are designed to make as much money as quickly as possible with good marketing and a low IQ customer base.
The Challenger is for posers. The Mustang is for actual car people.
Just awesome. The whole aura, color The GT 500 is what a new Mustang is all about.
this car goes 0-100 faster then my car goes 0-60 😂
the 0-100 is INSANE
Love the startup sound of the car 😩🔥
You def need to not give these keys to just anybody. The traction control works very well on this vehicle but you can def feel the rear end trying to get out in front of itself. It's a dangerous car for sure. I've been driving fast acceleration cars since I was 17 yrs old. I'm 56 now and I still get surprised. Caution people.
Only when u go fast
Reminds me of everyone who shorts the 1200$ extra on abs for sports bikes.
Good video! Good Narrative. Funny as hell. Great job!
My brother has a gt350 r and it's a riot to drive with 700 hp I can just imagine how the gt500 feels
I like that you didn't pass people at 140mph, and you respected their space. Lots of people that review cars honestly should be arrested for racing their mustangs on highways full of other people
I've driven almost everything from classics to super cars and one of the best times I've had was in an Audi A3 with a DSG gearbox and this was about 15 years ago! Those transmissions are bananas!
Yes but just not the same as a stick. You're losing your "understanding and feel" of your car. Know what I mean?
i love him cus he shaked his shoes befor he put his legs in the car
Love that you always tap you feet going into your featured cars, such respect......respect the drive! :D Thanks for the awesome video!!!
“Put a ton of miles on this thing.”
Yes. 💙
This should come with a registration to motorsportsreg.com, and a weekend event at a track that summer.
I had 69 mach 1 s ..390 gt and 428 cobra Jet..my 390 was green ...took me back in time man look like fun .cant imagine new technology
