2021 vs 2014 GT500 - Which is the better generation? 

I’ll take the 2014, it’s been my dream since I’ve been 14 years old

2021 is a legitimate sports car. 2014 is a muscle car. Both very nice and collectible.

I bought my dream car 2 years ago. A 2014 GT500. Mine makes 835hp. The 2014s look better than the new ones imho.

doesnt even mention the 14 tail lights, best lights period.

Both great cars - both beautiful…. I’m old school so I prefer the ‘14 with the manual. I have one in my garage and can’t say enough about it!!

Wow that's a carbon handling pack GT500! Painted black carbon fiber wheels. But yeah that 14' GT500 is my dream car as well.

I like the 2014 there’s no replacement for displacement. There is nothing wrong with the 5.2 but I like the Trinity 5.8 that’s just my preference they are both awesome power plants

Will never sell my ‘13 convertible. Ever. Super bad ass, legacy ride that will live on with my boy.

I Would Honestly Choose The 2013-14 GT500 Over The Newer One, Because I’m Into Muscle Cars And The S197 Gt500 Give Me That Muscular Feeling Whenever I Get Into One.

Yes, agreed. I have the 2014 GT500, it is a monstrous Machine.

The whine on the 14 is classic. 👍

Love all Shelbys, but my preference is first Gen 07-09. Classic, retro, simple and raw.

The 13 14 will hold its value better in the long run this is the that started the era off the hellcats to follow

The 14 Hands Down is the best car! Nothing like a manual where you are in control. But I may be a bit biased I do have a 14 GT500 sitting in my garage.

I prefer the look and lines of the 13 and 14 Mustangs.

2021 GT500 is just an entirely different beast

Enjoyed the video. You did a great job, Big Man! Keep putting out this content, plz

Excellent job! I have to be honest as soon as I saw you were at a dealership I started scrolling down looking for a comparison vid done by an actual owner or someone who I figured “knew what they were talking about” but I decided to let this vid play and you nailed it. Great job brother. Refreshing to hear from a salesman who knows so much and “truly” passionate about the vehicles he sells.

Nice job on the video .Thanks !!!

Also the 14 down are lighter cars..... with more cubes 5.4 gen1/gen2 condor 5.8 trinity over the current 5.2 predator

Nice video! Thanks for the in depth review.

Thanks for making this video. The front side wings on the 2021 GT 500 are known as "canards" to help funnel air into the factory installed coolers. The front of the 2014 GT 500 is missing another set of lower front air spoilers that are installed during final prep. It makes the front end even lower more like the 2021 GT 500.

One day I’ll have the 13 in my garage, then, and only then…I’ll living the dream!!

Awesome comparison! Thanks! I prefer the 2014 due to the stick shift. For me, It’s more fun to drive.

احلى سيارات بالنسبة الي 🥷🏽🖤🇮🇶 ماشاء الله الموستنج الحمرة 5.8 😳💔

Both of these are beautiful. BUT for me I will go 4 the 2014 gt500 👍

Is the ‘14 made for the U.S. market or is that a Canadian car? Great job on the video by the way, very good info.

Let's face it. Electric musclecars are going to take over soon. The best way to celebrate piston engine tech is enjoying true old school, where the 14 excels. Looking at the "Car and Driver" road tests of the 2013 vs the 2020 GT500s, there isn't that much difference in straight line performance except for the 13-14's much higher top speed.

I would take old engine and manual transmission with the handling of the new GT500

Plus I prefer the looks of the 2014

kinda ahead of it's time, IT DESTROYED EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH !

Aye good call on the headphone warning.

After I switched my '14 over to automatic, E85 and got rid of the Recaros, it is now the perfect car. It would take a large pile of money for me to consider selling.

14

Have both... 2014 track pack FBO E85 800rwhp even with steeda lower control arms, steeda upper control arm, and steeda rear sway bar it doesn't come close to the driving experience of the 21' completely stock. 20'-21' is a completely different animal and I can't wait to mod it as well.

And one main thing the 2021 gt500 lacks the touch of Carroll Shelby...

The 2014 gt500 is a way better bang for your buck in my area I can get em for low 30 grand with decent miles you can’t beat that. They look better also actually look like a muscle car. Your average working man can afford it. I’ll take the old school any day of the week

Old School ALL DAY 🤓🇺🇸👍

I may not have a Shelby, but I love my 2012 v6 MCA which has that classic look of that generation.

14 was the last gt500 to have stick. I’d prefer the 14 but there’s no doubt statistically speaking the 21 is better

I have a 2011 with all the 13-14 parts on the car with a bunch of mods , 840!hp, I love it.

Need to get that Motorcraft specialty orange coolant out of that 14, go to MC Yellow. And, the Trinity motor is probably the best sounding engine Ford has made in the last 30 years.

Guess which one I prefer

2014 the best looking especially with the super snake package added, besides this car set up for the newer sport muscle cars besides the new gt500

My dream car would be a Tremec 6 speed 2014 or newer GT500 and if I had a 2014 I would upgrade some stuff and put a wide body kit on it. I would not mind it in ford performance blue, Brittany blue, Antimatter blue, Race Red for the color. I would like the top stripes but not a fan of the stripes on the side.

The only thing I like from the new model is that digital odometer that’s amazing if they can make that for the 2014 hands down I’ll take that Shelby over the new one, the look is just a perfect balance de with old and new, don’t get me wrong the new one looks great but doesn’t quite give me that mustang feel

I love my triple black 14....just don't like the high pedal clutch engagement.

I’m partial to the body styling of the 2007-2009 models, but you just can’t go wrong with whichever generation you prefer. A Shelby GT500 is just pure cool.

When I bought mine I was determined to get the last of the LIVE AXLES.....still have it, a 2013.

I’ve had both and an 18 gt350r, I currently own a velocity blue 2021 gt500 and can absolutely say the 21 gt500 is superior in every way.

You got two kinds of people. You got the ones who prefer the manual trans for the driving experience and don't care that it isn't the absolute fastest possible et and 0-60 and the ones who prefer the old school look and feel and sound of the older car and the simplicity of it. Then you got the other guys who always go with whatever the newest option is because it has better magazine stats and more clout to be had and they can brag about how it's faster around the track and not even taken it there (as if it even matters at that point) and they rave about the new fancy interior and dog the older one like it's the most terrible thing ever and they couldn't stand to so much as sit in that old hunk of junk (I'm not exaggerating). Guy number 1 understands more about cars and what enjoying them is all about. Guy number 2 just wants the latest greatest thing that has the most clout to offer. Guy number 1 understands that how much fun you have and the overall driving experience is more important than having the fastest possible 0-60 time and fancy gadgets to brag about that you'll probably forget within a month. I can proudly say I am in group 1. I prefer the older car I love the look feel and sound better and the simplicity of it and I prefer a true 3 pedal manual for many reasons including that I just outright enjoy them and the art of driving them more. I take pride in showcasing what is possible with manual trans people are in disbelief many times when they see me shift a manual much faster than they thought possible from a true 3 pedal h pattern manual that you have to clutch in on the shifts (aka a true manual). The old one is half the price and will stand out more out in the wild. It is still a brutally fast car albeit in a much more raw and sketchy way (not a bad thing). The new one is too "do it all for you" and refined and much less engaging. Just my .02 from what I've experienced and how I think it's broken down into 2 groups on this. The ones who think it's obvious the older one is better for many reasons outside of just numbers and the ones who think it's obsurd to even consider the older one despite being half the price because ultimate numbers aren't as good on paper. Sometimes it isn't just about fastest possible et and 0-60 this is why the plaid sucks imo. It don't deliver on anything except 0-60 and et. The new gt500 isn't like that but it's a similar thing where just because numbers are better on one don't mean the overall driving experience will be. Some don't understand this. I'm happy to be part of group 1.

And I just noticed your missing part of your spoiler on the 14 the lower part is missing.

I can't wait to get a 13/14 GT500.

The 14 all day!!!!! 200+ mph and a Man transmission! Ford could have added a Whipple 275AX with a crusher inlet, 4 more psi and meaty back tires and it would blow the damn doors off the 21

I have a 2016 S550 Mustang GT, so I'll have the 2014 GT 500 in metal grey.

My 2007 is the best Shelby after 67-69. I love 2021 but I’m in love with my 07.

14, every single time💕

2014 needs a oil can on top, for the engine oil. and a non paper air filter. and your all set to go! and you might want to check the timing too.

I would take the 2014, it's better looking and has a 6 speed +200 mph top speed. The 2021 will handle better but I don't care for the looks.

i like the 2014 better because of the 6 speed transmission

One you drive, one you and a computer drive. All about character of the drive for me so there is only one choice here. Way better looking too, looks like the iconic 64 shape not an 80's shaped mustang like the other.

2014 please.

Your '14 is missing the lower front splitter.

Mine favorite 14, 03 cobra, 71 mach

The s197 model of course..... FORD SHOULD HAVE DID MORE to that car instead of just focusing on the coyote and those pos ttv6 they put in everything

My 2014 clutch is a little stiff, they say that's normal in a 2013 2014.

I think relative to it's competition at the time the 2014 was better. 2021 is a great car just need to remove the delay on the launch control and the top speed limiter.

GIBBEHHH!!!!

2014 was the last true mustang and the 5.8 sounds way better then the raspy 5.2

The ‘14 wins on sound alone😊

The 14 is missing the lower half of its front spoiler

compare with a 2004 cobra too

2014 is king Even know I love hellcat

The 2014

11:00 music name 🎶

Got a 2011 recently because they are atill affordable i prefer old school

But my dream car is the 2014 Shelby SuperSnake❤

2014 for me

As a big ford guy can not bring my self to want a s550 of any model. S197 is a well built car

S197 ✊💪🏁!!

I have a 21 GT500 and I had a 16 GT350R and a 12 GT500 and I think the 21 is far superior in every way..

💥 2014 💥

Mustangs after 2014 look over done with the sharp angles and smaller front grill, rear looks cheap with that flimsy plastic look and they don't look like muscle cars but look like a mazda/euro car. 2005-2014 has that real American Muscle Mustang appeal that pays tribute to the 65-73 models.

I prefer by far the 2014.

I'm sorry I can't get past the interior of the older cars nothing beats our newer interior on the S550.

What bothers me about the new Mustang Shelby GT500 is the space and the price.

2014

i like that other black car at 8:21 ...

S197

Love mustangs but I rather have a c8 tbh

The 2014 is honestly just as fast of a car at least 0-60 and in the quarter mile. Top speed is where the new gt500 takes the cake. 2014 0-60 is 3.7 secs 11.7 sec 1/4 mile at 132 mph. 2022 0-60 is 3.3 sec 11.3 sec 1/4 mile at 137 mph. Mph I'm not 100% on but it's close

There's no comparison. Of course the 2021 is better. The only thing that you can argue for in the 2014 is the manual transmission. Nevertheless that Tremec DCT is out of this world good.

I have the same 2014, same color. A Shelby GT500 HAS to be a manual. Plan to NEVER sell.

21 looks better but I'd take the manual 14

2014 because it make you Manuel

I go For GT500, 2014 due the Manual you control more the car and is more a American Muscle Car👍🏼!!! I’m disappointed with the new Model due is not a Manual, plus because don’t have Manual Hand Brake at All😔👎🏼

Is math different in Canada? "Over 1500 hp between the two of these bad boys" 2014 GT500- 662 hp, 2021 GT500- 760hp. 760+660= 1420, 1420>1500?

I take 2014 it was the coolest looking

2014 easily

Can you order me a 2022?
