Walk-around, options, modes, features and a fun drive! A comprehensive look at a 2020 Rapid Red Shelby GT500 as well as some spirited driving. 2020 2021 2022 Ford Mustang S550 tech @FordPerformance
I met him at the Ozark track in Missouri. I was in the red gt3rs. Super friendly person, and very fast! Props to the channel, hope it does well for you. Hope to see you again!
Just bought this exact same car and color scheme yesterday. Having it shipped from Kansas City. Can’t wait to get it. Thanks for the grand tour-that’s gonna help!
Left a comment before I actually purchased my GT500 base model. Thought it was an excellent video before. Now that I own a GT500 the video seems even more outstanding. Thank you Tim!!
I'm sure your itching for the track pack! I got my 2020 GT500 9 months ago. Just started a page myself. I admire the work you do people think it's easy to just upload a video there's alot of backend work. Keep it up👍
Flyer, What a very nice, detailed, informative and enjoyable, demo video! Extremely impressive, makes me want that car too. ))) Thank you, for taking your time, to produce a great, descriptive, quality video. I really enjoyed it immensly.
Your Rapid Red looks great. I have been looking for a Race Red or Green GT500 but the Rapid Red I will look for that too because it looks great, I was thinking of adding an Edge ST in this color.
Great review. I appreciate the in depth detail cuz I'll probably never get to own a gt500. This seems to me that this is the best mustang ever produced
Thanks Tim, another very informative video, I have only just taken ownership of mine in the last month (I think there are only 2 CFTP in New Zealand) and I have already done your CF Wing mounting waterproofing trick! Your videos are great, keep them coming! Cheers
Great video! I am now officially trying to find a dealership whom can order one for me without outrageous mark up! Thank you and keep the videos coming good sir!
Excellent! Good luck! FYI: unless things change, the car is slated to be a 3 year run only. The S650 Mustang is scheduled to arrive for the 2023 model year.
Good job nice info thxs. Rapid red Tech pkge Carbon fiber int. Perf pkge Blk. Vinyl stripes Red cover That’s how I would go as cftp is golden ticket unobtanium Great car cant wait for cftp comparison
I would have thought they routed the heater hose up top like that to put the hottest things they could towards the top, heat rises and that car will heatsoak itself to death in the summers in texas just like a 03 cobra or any other gt500...beautiful car is it gonna get a chiller killer? ;D
@@ShelbyFlyer Great job on the details , i just got my 2021 500 back from PPF/Ceramic and window tint this Saturday . Put my first 200 Miles on it and had questions about the tranny and different modes ?? You just answered most of them with your vid , good times brother 👊
Congratulations on your inbound 500! You are going to LOVE it! I have other videos on my channel explaining more of the tech. Holler if you have questions.
@@ShelbyFlyer I've been a Sirius XM subscriber for years, but I still catch KZPS 92.5 now and then, especially Bo and Jim. I used to listen to the Eagle a lot in the early 80s, the Stevens & Pruitt days.
@Ghost Ridah AK47 Well said! My thoughts exactly! I'm still undecided about getting this car. A big issue for me is not offering a traditional manual transmission, and no AWD option. This car makes 760hp. However, due to traction issues, you will have a very hard time beating a stock base Nissan GTR (565hp), a stock BMW M5 (600hp), and a stock Merc Benz E63 S (603hp) on the street because these cars offer AWD and can put the power down! No wasted wheel spin or horsepower / torque going up in smoke! If Ford can put an automatic transmission in a car that has traditionally had a manual transmission, then they can also offer an AWD option to get better overall performance.
@@ShelbyFlyer Couldn't agree more! just picked one up a couple weeks ago. Has no problem putting the power down unless you're launching from a dig; even then it does a decent job🤟🏽
My old base model (this car) had fully functional electric seats. My current CFTP has manual seats. The CFTP driver seat manually raises. The passenger seat does not.
I own a variety of Mustangs. In my collection, I have a Whippled 2011 GT500 and a Cobra R. If I could only keep 2 of my Stangs, it would be my 2020 CFTP and my 2000 Cobra R. The new 500 is ridiculous! Check out the video on my channel of my stock CFTP vs. a stock 2013 GT500 and this battle was straight line stuff only. You are going to love the new beast!
Bro this is the greatest Review on the Shelby GT500 out there. But I got a couple questions #1 is there a breaking period you gotta wait before full power like a certain mileage ? Or as soon as you get it out of dealer mode and get it to the right temperature it’s ready to roll #2 was at the beginning of the video you was showing the trunk and mention the fuel filter ? What was that
Thanks Dylan! There are 2 levels of break-in... 100 miles before going extended WOT and 1000 miles before taking it to the track. I personally kept RPMs below 5k during the 1st 100 miles as well. The fuel thing was a funnel that you stick in the filler neck to open the valve if you are using a gas can to fill the tank.
@@ShelbyFlyer thanks bro. Continue the good content I watched the whole 54 min video and most of the time I barley watch 5 mins of reviews but I almost watched it twice that’s how good it was you probably explained everything There is to know about the car.
Quick ? Does your shift light work in the Heads Up Display? I am not able to get my light HUD working on my 2020. Rock Blockers are bad. The rocks will bounce off the foam & then will nail your paint. I learned the hard way on my old 18 GT350R.
Richard, I had other questions about the shift lights, so I made a video on them that goes into more detail: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NBGWneU7br4.html
The shifting is insane, maybe I missed it in the hundreds of time I watch this video, lol, when you are in my mode setting what do you keep your steering and shocks modes at around town having fun?
I had a fender that was rubbing on the hood. My PPF shop loosened and adjusted the fender. Other than that, I haven’t had fitment issues, but I see people talking about issues online. The 2020 GT500 is a helluva car!
Have you experienced the leather seats on the GT500? I am a big fan of heated and cooled so I would like the “base model” over the recaro or CFTP as funny as that would sound. If you have experienced both let me know what you think. I found one of each for sale and may sit in them. I built a GT500 on ford’s website but of course that all gets put to a stop with dealer allocations and market adjustments.
I have Danny. A friend has base seats. I spent a day driving his car. I like the look and feel of the Recaros, especially when at the track. The base seats are nicer for long road trips and better for people that are heavier (read: wide girth). I ordered two 2020 GT500s and got the Recaros in both. I’m happy with them. I take my CFTP to the track... Recaros are a MUST at the track!
@@ShelbyFlyer Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it 👍🏼 BTW, my parents had a flight school as I grew up. We had 5 Cessna 150s and a Cessna 310Q. That’s really cool you are a pilot, and I enjoyed your story on staying calm when they cracked your transmission pan. Keep up the good content. It doesn’t appear you’d need it, but I hope you’re monetized on your channel and getting some benefits from it
I'm from Russia. I want such a car, but with us it is very expensive. The video is cool. I am writing through a translator, I apologize if there are errors.
@@ShelbyFlyer Thank you for the most chill 58min testdrive get a feel from an Enthusiast perspective on the latest SuperSnake. Seeing your garage collection I respect true gearhead regardless of the make, always a pleasure hearing owner speak car language that only us can understand - if that makes any sence. Great vido man *PS nice call on that radar. - i seen that grey Explorer back here just as you said balls to the wal hahah .... cheers mate, salut
I ordered an iconic silver base model just like yours. It’s still in order processing and now with the virus Ford has shut down. So I don’t know when I will get mine. I’m in Texas as well
Well ... we didn't need Shelbyfest after all ... we got Goose and RU-vid right here in the comfort of our La-Z-Boy...... gosh, after that video, I feel like I own one already !!! LOL
How can we display the navegation direction on the cluster between the gauges, i saw vid for youtuber he while he driving the direction for the route shown in cluster
