760hp Shelby GT500 or 1000hp Twin Turbo Mustang GT.. Which is the better car own? 

I am not a ford fan but that Shelby is a bad bad boy

Both cars are fantastic. The difference is the GT500 is made for multi purposes. Dragstrip or in the track. Thanks for sharing the GT500 because very few people see these in you face monsters on the streets. What I've personally noticed. The GT500 is a very refined overall package that all the major auto magazines comment rivals many Super cars. The other standout items are it's amazing DTC transmission and the built 5.2 Predator Coyote based engine. Your GT is what anyone wanting a beautiful sleeper monster muscle car would love to own including myself. Your a lucky man.

I would definitely do the GT500. There is just something about having that 🐍. I know I’ve always wanted a 69 GT500 so that may be part of it as well.

I forgot to say awesome video thanks for being straight up you always give everybody enough information so they can make an informed decision if they are actually going to buy or build a car like these 2

One vehicle has depreciation (well...used to lol) the other will hold its value for a lifetime. That definitely is a big consideration over build vs buy. It would have to be the GT500 for me although I think I still prefer the 2013-2014 variety over the new ones. Great video as always!

My 21 GT has half your power. Wow. That twin turbo is pulling hard. Impressive.

Great video as always but this was something I really wanted a comparison for.

Awesome content buddy 👍💪🔥

Outstanding video!!! One of the best comparison videos I’ve seen. You were not biased at all even though the coyote is your car. Most reviewers and people in general can’t be objective when their vehicles are involved. The GT500 is a beautiful car and does get lots of looks from bystanders. Unfortunately it’s mostly male bystanders. 😞 Keep up the great work👍

GT500 all day UNLESS my budget couldn't take it. These days, the factory hi-po cars are so well done and so well sorted out that you really can't touch the overall package. Sure you can go cheaper for faster. But is it bulletproof? Can it handle and brake like the GT500?

That GT500 is bad ass! You’ll kick ass on those! Great upload X🤘😎

Great video bruh!

There is just something special about the Shelby that, who cares how much HP a GT can have, just puts a smile on your face. It’s the sound, heritage, neck-breaking, and just plain out a built machine that’s just great

Great video bro

The Gt500 is a beast it’s really personal preference between a standard GT over the GT500. I always wanted a Shelby Mustang for the heritage of it and the value. Can’t go wrong either way.

E85 tune on that shelby though and a small pulley for more boost and its probably going to be 900 horsepower and with that dual clutch is just unbeatable.

Racer X you really do a great job on information and testing, I am not a modern day muscle car rather the early 70's mopars and can't teach an old dog new tricks but enjoy the content to keep me in touch on the latest and greatest. I sure hope most of the non subscribers read this and subscribe & like. Support this channel because this man does a lot of work to make everyone of these videos and needs our help to make it even better. Thankyou Racer X.

Great explanation.

I AM A OLD SCHOOL FORD GUY FROM THE 60'S AND MY FIRST MUSTANG WAS A 1966 FORD MUSTANG COUPE!...I FIXED IT UP INTO A 66 SHELBY GT350 COUPE!...MY FAVORITE MUSTANG WAS THE 69/70 SHELBY GT500 AND I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THE NEW LIMITED EDITION SHELBY AMERICAN BUILT 2022/23 SHELBY GT500 KR WITH 900HP+! BUT TODAY IN 2022/23 I WOULD LIKE TO BUILD A CUSTOM BUILT 69/70 SHELBY GT500 (BODY WISE) WITH A 2020+ SHELBY GT500 DRIVE TRAIN AND INTERIOR!...I AM LOOKING AT A TWIN TURBO 427 CU. IN. NELSON RACING ENGINE PUTTING OUT 1000HP+ USING 91 OCTANE (I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA) MATED TO A DCT TRANS USING A SPECIAL BUILT ADAPTOR!...I AM JUST SAYING!...GOD BLESS AMERICA! 😇

Prop rod! You just cannot embarrass Bill Ford. My 05 Mustang gt had the flat, cheap grey plastic interior as they have today. Nothing but the best vinyl. Great job Racer X

Nice video, Bro. I think it depends on a lot of factors. No wrong answer. Both aren't cheap. For someone with the funds that wants a performance beast and isn't into modding, the GT500 is the way to go, plus you have all the factory warranties in place for a bit.

GT500 you’re getting a hand built motor with a relatively large supercharger, DCT, huge brakes and a much more sorted suspension. GT is clearly the better bang for the buck if straight line acceleration is the priority. RacerX talks like the gt500 is all low-end which isn’t true. It’s actually pretty soft down low and makes it’s power in the mid to upper rpm. Highway acceleration is no slouch either for factory with warranty at low 7 sec 60-130. Obviously a built boosted GT will easily gap a stock GT500. Also when you build a car you should factor in the cost of when shit break as well. Something youtubers rarely talk about.

Not gonna lie, that Cobra is a looker! Sounds FANTASTIC! I'm thinking that blacked out grill is to give it that look that the AC 427 Cobra had with that big opening in the front. Being a fan of the AC 427 Cobra, I like that! What a fantastic video, Racer X! Fantastic! As a side note, I just saw your subscriber numbers and I thought of the time when you were at 50k. What a journey! On behalf of Racer X, I want to send a HUGE thanks to all those that made Racer X's dream possible! Without you, this would never have been possible! You all rock! This also applies to all the new subscribers! Welcome! Enjoy the ride!✌

I love building a car, but it’s great to have a well-sorted chassis to start with. I think that’s what makes the Mach 1 so compelling to me. Supercharging that platform is really interesting in my opinion, I’m actively shopping for one now.

So pay alot of $$$ and don't drive it so it holds it's value (GT500) or buy a 5.0, spend half the $$$, and have more HP and drive it without worries. Yup, I love my 720whp Procharged 2020 GT. Even better, at car shows sitting next to the GT500, there is no mistake who made the better smiles per miles decision. If I wanted an investment I'd put my cash into the stock market, not a car.

the orange color is real nice

My cousin and I would cruise all over the Dallas area back in the second half of the 80’s. No matter where we went, there was a race to be had back then. These days I can drive my Mustang across town, and it’s completely ignored. 🤣🤣🤣

Nice Paul but I know from the Jailbreak vid you miss Mopar 😉 😆

I'd love to have a super snake F150 . Please do a video on one!

How about gt500 then build that with twin turbos 🤣. Who said you can’t eat your cake to? Good video.

GT500 is the jack of all trades, and from factory you can build it to 1000whp with bolt ons. Yours is purpose built though. Me I'd go with GT500 because you can always do a simple pulley swap. Plus the I love the DCT

Which one will be in the shop more often? I’d rather buy the stock performance because I don’t have time to mess with things. The little free time I have Id rather be driving instead of tinkering but that’s my situation for now.

The grin on your face at the 16:55 mark is one of someone who knows that this car will rip your face off 🤣 🤣 🤣

Bilt versus bought? I wanted an SRT-10 or something similar. I was told that I should just go out and buy it over build something similar. Guess what ? I like getting advice but at the end of the day I have got to be me . I like my 2005 Ram with a 392 Hemi because it's different but very similar to an SRT-10. Mine is not a collector's item and doesn't have the value but, It's given me great joy 😀. Either way it is a sort of rare truck and when people notice what's different about my truck it starts some fun interactions. I think building over buying is a more involved and interesting option that drives the owners enthusiasm 🤔.

got a 2001 GT at home with a 4.6 2 valve I also want that same Turbo kit any heavy duty transmission options you have for sn95 or recommendations excuse me

If I made 200k a year maybe I would go with the GT500 but with what I make the GT 5.0 is what I could afford. I just don't fit in ether car. So charger widebody is what I would drive

I would much rather have the Super Snake, cars aren't much fun if they're just sitting at the Speed Shop .I've had a couple built cars in my lifetime and you are always trying to get the bugs out of those cars seems like there's always something busted on them ,where the car that has a warranty it's like take it out beat the crap out of it if it breaks bring it back to the dealership and then take it out and beat the crap out of it some more much more fun

if im gonna use the car to race the 1/4 mile yes I will buy a GT 5.0 and build it as I want but if what I want is the car for the looks and to use it to go around take care of it because 20 years from now will be a classic? I will go with the 500 eyes close and no remorse, not everything is about race and being the fast car in town.

Maaaaaan I've been debating trading in the hellcat for that gt500

I bought my 835hp 2014 GT500 with the 5.8 over 2 years ago for $49k 2 months before cov-aids hit. It only had 9600 miles on it. I can sell it for a lot more today, and it'll never lose its value. Also I prefer the s197 body style over these, but they're still cool.

How does it compare to the Mach 1? The difference between a scatpack to Hellcat?

A lot of work went into both cars. Both are very fast. I love rowing my own gears. So I guess I will stay NA.

Saludos Racer X. The engine cover for mustang gt must be removed on those mustangs 2019-20.

Hey X, I stay in TX (Houston) my biggest question is if your sleeper TT kit is able to be used as a daily even in the crazy rainy days we get every now and then? Would like the same kit for my 21 GT, just don’t want water sucked into the under mount turbos

I got a 3.7L but I got a lot of things I want to do to it imma freak it and leave the 3.7L badge on it getting a engine build bout 1200 hp whole new make over changing the interior braking system tires change exhaust with fire spitting

I can't stop looking at how amazing the GT500 is. The Mustang GT looks like a family car compared to the GT500. I don't care how fast the Mustang GT is. I can't get past the looks.

As much as I like your TT, I like the aggressive style & performance of the Shelby, performance that is covered by a warranty 😉 I also added the hood struts for $100 😆 If you want a track/sleeper car, your car is a beast and extremely desirable, but if an all around performance car with all the bells & whistles is what you want, GT500 wins no question, but as you said there is no wrong answer, it's all subjective to the owners wants & needs.

Built for me. There's always going to be those bragging rights and satisfying about building something fast vs buying something.

I got my 2019 GT 7k Miles now. But, I like WD Hellcat 4D. 🔥

OEM quality with a warranty always wins

500 all day no questions asked tho i would love to see a test drive of a shelby gt500 king of the road down in vegas 1000 hp

IMO if the Shelby from 14and 15 are the ones to get.

imo cftp is a must for a gt500. nothing wrong without it but it makes it stand out.

I definitely would choose built *eyes your twin turbo stang* over a bought cobra any day of the week. I prefer to work and build those cars

If I could afford to buy the car, I would rather have that for reliability. It seems that built cars always have issues.

The question is unfinished. Whichever the question the answer may change. The answer is relative to the question. If you are asking which is better bang for the buck when it comes to horsepower/racing then the 5.0 is the clear winner. If the question is which would you prefer then that will boil down to the taste of the person answering. If you are asking which will hold its value better then the Shelby. The answer will change depending on the question.

Starting to find good deals for gt350 in the low 50k high 40k 👀👀👀👀

Can you review a 2022 subaru brz

Nice mustang GT 500

I would do the gt500 more reliable stock still alot of power.

But how much power could the Shelby make if you built it out

Built but not too extreme as 1000 hp. Maybe around 700hp and a little quieter in the vehicle cabin.

While a 1000+hp Mustang would be fun, I chose to buy a GT500.

Only reason I’d buy a GT500, GT350 or Mach 1 or any special edition Mustang for that matter is to enjoy it stock and hold its value. But if you want serious performance that will honestly leave the above stock stangs for dead and you don’t care about a devaluation asset just get a GT 10R80 and Mod it accordingly.

What does a strip kit cost?

I choose my V6 challenger,, gas prices are ridiculously high

For alot of people it's gonna be the instant gratification lol.

Shelby all day. It's the look of that car

can't afford either one so i'll take both! LOL!

Both have the Same gen 3 coyote block but the gt500 has more badass internals, heads, boost, and trans

Beasttttt

I consider myself a Ford guy, this is in my wheel house, even the car that I truly would take over all, would be a Shelby GT350. But this is a great video, really nice comparison. I would surprise people, it would be the your built Mustang GT over the GT500. Yes the GT500 is more track specific, but just love the moded mustang GT's and the Coyote mated with the 10R80 trans in the GT's one hell of a combo, and yes yours is a freaking fast as $hit missle for sure. Thanks bud great content.

GT solely for the 2018+ headlight design. The 15-17 design is a dealbreaker for me compared to the new ones.

I feel like starting a channel called Speed Racer 😂

i never knew a gt500 was limited at 180 where a zl1 can hit 200. yes gt500s are faster stock.

The GT 500 looks like a bigger car. Wider and taller. Is that just the camera angle?

Well if it's free or given to me it's the Shelby hands down but if it's my hard earned money I'm definitely taking the modded gt all day

Doing hellion twin turbos on my scat pack

Gt500 has better transmission warranty looks sound engine plus it holds more value, holds value, modes, shifter , track, features, wow factor/ shock. 500 is the winner no diff

Shelby for the looks alone

Does your Mustang have Stock Motor and Transmission ?

I have the same hellion twin turbo kit. On my gen 2 5.0.

I like that you NEVER show the speedometer

The GT500 it comes with a warranty

For free I'd go with the GT500 because I'd could get more for it and buy something else besides a Ford.

GT will always be the best bang for the buck. The GT500 is a rich boy toy. You buy the GT500 when money isn't an object. The 500 will probably be a little more reliable than a modified car, though.

Obviously the GT500 its Factory with all that power it's going to be more reliable all day long

He said this wonderful 10 spd🤣🤣🤣🤣 idk man but that 10 spd is everything but wonderful but it does makes the car faster

The GT500 will *DESTROY* the GT TT on the track, so the choice is obvious to me. That said, I find the GT500 front end to be super busy and ugly. So can I get a GT350R Heritage Edition instead?

Personally I’d take a 350 R over both. But if I had to choose, I’d take the GT500 SE bc of that widebody. To have 345s in the rear, that DCT, The Shelby badges and I could just as easily make that an 850hp Grip Monster

You mean bought then built, vs bought? Still need to drop a stack for a 5.0.

Factory modded always worth more than customer modded. And usually done better! No offense X

GT 500 all day.

both cars are different in there own way one being a turbo car vs a supercharged car, will come back to that n a sec.....built vs bought, it is for 2 different people, that want different things, the one that wants the bought car is probably a person that does not want to build a car, and just wants 2 go fast with the quote on quote top of the line car vs the built guy wants his car to be done the way he wants it just 4 him......the bought guy wants a warranty, however if he kisses that motor with a ham sandwhich such a tune etc, then bye bye 2 the warranty.....honestly turbo cars are the way 2 go if u want POWER......thats why the GTR kills everything, it puts the power down, AWD and when built there is NOTHING that can touch it, UNLESS u have a car that can put the power down as good as a GTR.....the GT500 is cool, but it's nothing special.....ok yeah the DCT and the motor, but i have seen built 6R80 and 10 speeds KILL at GT500 for way less money......so if you have a NEW GT500 u can easily get touched that is 4 SURE, so dont think ur KING and all...lol

Gt 500 cost is due to it comes with a warranty if you bought your car from the factory making 1000 hp you would be paying a lot more than the Gt500 is really simple

The GT500 is such a beautiful car ,BUT then ford /shelby decided it needed a big pimple on it and they put that dial in the console instead of a shifter,That has annoyed me since the first time i seen one.I actually would never buy one for that 1 reason,it kills the car for me.

Warranty no warranty

Built 4 me. Doing the work is so satisfying unless you're lazy. Lol.

Yeah give me the gt500 with the warranty and relatability. "Built not bought" doesn't mean what it use to mean. It use to mean you built that thing in your garage with your hands. Now it means dropping it off at a shop and handing them money. These days it's all just bought. I'll take the Shelby gt500. 100%

Shelby all day long
