2021 Shelby GT500 vs 2014 SVT Shelby GT500 - (If You Had To Choose) 

In this video, I compare my 2014 SVT Shelby Mustang GT500 with my 2021 Shelby Mustang GT500. I also take them both for a drive and talk about the massive differences between these two generations that share the same nameplate. In summary, the SVT is more "muscle" while the newer Ford Performance is more "super" car. Both are amazing in their own right. Which would you pick?

The 13-14 GT500 all the way because it's really rare plus it's considered the last proper rear axle mustang made by Ford as well it's the last collaboration with Carroll Shelby before he passed away. Top speed is 200mph, also really affordable as well as a dream car for many including myself when it comes to old school mustangs.

The best thing about the 13-14 is it’s manual. But the 2020+ is worlds ahead. Both beautiful cars.

I believe that the 13/14 Mustang is destined to be a classic. But I feel most are sleeping on that.

I have a black on black one, wish I waited for a glass roof to pop up but oh well. Best taillights on a mustang, PERIOD. love this car

Both are nice cars. I own a ‘13 GT500 and love rowing gears with that power & torque. I like the new GT500’s, but it’s a totally different animal.

If I can find a 13/14 in grabber blue. I want one so bad I love the old school muscle more. Especially that manual

I found your car channel before i ever found your guns channel. You had mentioned you had a guns channel but i never checked it out. Found your gun channel just browsing and then remembered you mentioned it. Anyway been watching your gun content for so long i forgot you had a car channel lol. Awesome video and great cars. Thanks for the comparison. Both cars are on my radar

Both GT500s are special, Mustangs, The 2021 GT500 is a more refined and better overall car and as you stated. The Mustang has grown from being a muscle car to becoming a Sports Car which became more obvious after watching the first year Dark Horse Mustang GT3 competing against the world's best sports cars from Porsche, McClaren , Aston Martin, BMW, Lamborghini and the C8 GT3 like at the recent 24 hours of LeMans. .Your a lucky man owning those two beautiful Mustangs.

I’m taking the 2020 all day long! Shooting for one next year 🤞

Great review, what a pair of incredible machines from SVT and Ford Performance

I have owned a 2011 convertible GT500 and sold it for a 2014 convertible GT500. I have owned it for 8 years and I drive it in the summer as much as I can. It has mild mods so it is now 775 hp instead of 662. I drag race and do track days with the car. It is a monster that does everything well but not perfectly. On a track day, it is as you say a cowboy ride because of the torque over 700 pounds! But although handling can bite you, it tracks real well and it not true it does not handle, it can do 1G in the corners! Faster than many cars on the track! It is an addictive car to drive and I will never sell it! Would love to try the last gen though…

13/14 all day 💪

The 13-14 GT500s are the best

Fishbowl in texas is crazy man😂

Nice review man! Both vehicles are really amazing!

I would pick the svt because of the 6speed of the new one had it then that would be winner for sure

I have the 2014 with all options and convertible..love it.

In the meantime while waiting for your GTD, I'm down to meet up for you to take a 2022 Super Snake for a drive.

I’ll stick with my ‘14. The DCT only is a deal breaker.

I personally like Magna Flows quad tip exhaust muffler delete, I really think you should add Louvers to the side and windows and get Forgiato 20 inch rims for the 2014 and 2021

If all i could have is one then the 2014 all day, real men drive manuals lol. Now having both...thats next level

Good review for street use. If you ever decide to take the cars to the drag strip with slicks, you will find out real quick that the live axle is much, MUCH stronger than the IRS. It will not only hook better, but you won't leave a trail of parts behind like the newer car when the IRS grenades from the traction.

You can say what you want about the 13-14's, but they're still true to form. The S550 GT500 strayed so far from the formula with the DCT and it's been divisive. Meanwhile, the Trinity cars are pretty universally accepted.

Call me crazy but I really like the 09 GT500.. The early S197's to me were the perfect mix of modern/retro body style. The 13-14's aren't my thing.. The S550 is a different car entirely (literally), I'd take the 2021 GT500 in this case Lol.

Great review! Appreciate the insight.

I can't believe anyone saying 2014 GT500 is better than the 2020Gt 500 they are not even in the same league the 2020gt500 is in the super car level and if you doubt it bring your 2014 am here in Atlanta and I will bring my 2020gt500

Own a 14 and 22 gt500 cftp… it’s not even close the 22 wins in every criteria…

I have the 13 model and my HVAC guy has the 21. He paid 30k more for his than I did and we like driving mine more, but the new GT500 is still an awesome car. I just think if I'm going for more of a super car, I'd get something different from Ford.

I personally like the S197 better. I had both a 2013 S197 GTCS and a 2017 S550 GT Premium. Both cars are great cars, but, for me, like I stated before, I prefer the looks of the 1rst gen coyote 5.0 Mustang over all over the newer Mustangs.

great video! I have a 13 GT500, still on the original Eagle F1's believe it or not. Obviously not a daily...my question is which tires do you recommend upgrading to? Car is currently all stock but I have a catless H pipe and JLT ill be installing then tuning. Its is a anniversary/performance/track/tech pack with glass roof not that makes a difference lol. Lastly how wide can i go on the stock rear wheels? 305's? Ive thought about getting replica rear wheels to get the width...

That is a great dilemma to have lol

2 of my dream cars an you got both 😅

14 all day

Need to put that factory oil separator on the S550 500

Other then RU-vid what do you do for work to have such nice vehicles at your age ?

2014 GT500 all day. A really low mile 2014 GT500 still sells for over $60K. When Ford made the newer GT500 automatic only, they lost a lot of people.

Give me the manual. That’s the deciding factor.

What do you do for a living?

Which one is your favorite out of all 3 Shelby’s do you have. Every one you own which one you enjoy the most

I think to me pushrod v8 like hellcat or zl1 is all-American muscle

I think Ford did a good job with the mustang; I have a 21 GT/CS with the 6 speed and it is so much fun to drive, I have Vetts too and they just sit, hardly ever drive them. The sound and the power and the fun of the 6 speed beats everything else. The Vetts are auto, not paddle.... boring. Someday a Shelby 500

For the future old car, Superformance Cobra or GT40. Oldish...

I really thought SVT was a 2005ish model body style.. Shows what I know.. But they are both beautiful cars.. And I always thought there was a 5.8L or 351 in those cars..

Wireless carplay sucks so no loss there!

2014............

2014 gt500, how dare you, I think most guys are here coming ......the base of nfs mw razor's car

Hmmmmm. Which crowd sweeper to choose?? Decisions decisions.

51% of all Mustang owners chew tobacco and 78% of Corvette owners have gray hair. That's all I know.

Paused as soon as it started to tell you how happy seeing a new upload with the 500 and SVT, just made me😂🫡🤙😃 I don’t think you realize how much we all enjoy your content💪 What’s wild is, I run a few different business, but love guns and I randomly saw you about a year ago with a company video I had clicked on. Blessings to you and we appreciate you brother!

I just got my 2017 GT 8 months ago it's mainly a weekend car for me.. She only had 1 other owner n only 8,909 miles when I bought her.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GEJINM-16Pk.html I know it's a GT but I love this car.. I went with the manual for the fun.. I have no regrets at all mine came Base with a Performance Pack, 373's, struts braces' beefier sway bars and I'm on a staggered set up, with 275's on the back and 255's up front.. I plan to keep her as stock as I can stand for now and in a few years she is getting Whippled and a stage 1 tune.. I'm not looking for 800 wheel.. But if I can get to 680ish on 93 pump gas and have the car run like it came from Ford that way, meaning smooth.. I'm willing to sacrifice power to stay on 93 and keep the car from blowing up in 2 or 5 years even.. They closed down a track we had so there's no where to put 700 plus wheel down at without getting into trouble really.. Unless you have a track near by where are you going to need more than 650 wheel at that's a lot of power even these days..

Have a ‘14 GT500 Super Snake and a ‘20 GT500SE. Love both, but the S197 will always have my heart. It looks timeless and feels like a muscle car.

The 14 GT500 is still my absolute dream car.

2014 gt500 all day everyday day. It’s timeless.

The stripe delete was a no cost option on the S197 GT500. The seats also came with black “ghost” stripes

2021 gt500.

As great as the S550 version is, I need that manual.

I have a 2014 GT500 White with Kona Blue stripes with only 7400 miles on it. I haven't driven a newer GT500 but I have to say I just love the feeling of the 6 speed and the sound from my Borla ATAC exhaust. I get a lot of looks and positive comments on the road and especially in car shows. My car will be shown in the July anniversary edition of Stang Magazine. It is the last Mustang shown in this edition. I love both of your cars and you demonstrated them very well.

I oersonally dont here too many people talking about the 2021 vs 2014 when it comes to the shelby.

Manual 2014 GT500 thanks

I had a 2014 GT500. Still think it's the best-looking Mustang and it was lot of fun. It just definitely did not feel planted. It was bouncy and if you were on the power in a turn while hitting a bump, yikes!

No comparison the 2021, only better part on 14 maybe the standard shift, one you only get in a6spd manual other in the dual clutch auto

A hellcat wished it sounded like an s197 gt500

Liked for hood pins peeling lol

im thinking of selling my 66 fastback to put towards a gt350 if your interested.

Interior new one, exterior old one

I'd take the 2014 for the manual.

I love’em both

2014 gt and lower had back up cams. From what I understand, you can unlock the feature with a ford scan tool and add a camera to have a back up cam. I have the exact same 14' gt500 as you.

FORD RULES

Honestly SVT

Nobody looks at top speed lol, when are you on the street or even the drag strip ever going to hit 200mph. It's all about acceleration

13/14 had a very non-muscular shape to the front and rear that I really don’t like. It looks very narrow feeding down to narrow tires. The wide body “kit” fixes this. Not a very dramatic style to the body which is unfortunate because the motor is incredible.
