The 2020 Shelby GT500 is the Future of Muscle Cars - One Take 

I believe you for some odd reason 🤔.

@@topdeadcenter9396 I was doing that with my mule wherever and whenever possible.

I heard the same... but i also hear a flock of people turn up injured when that happens

lambosteve1000 only within 100 ft of a car meet

My Miata has that feature, great for if you miss a turn

Matt giggling like a kid! Awesome!

Last 4 years

Cr55zy ~10. Coyote was a big jump from the 4.6 in 11, then s550 had huge impact in 15. Then 10 speed in 18 made it a monster in 1/4 mile.

Let's just take a moment to remember what the Mustang was back in the 90's. I remember car magazines (sort of) raving over the fact that the GT got a horsepower bump to 260 from 225 in '98 or '99 (when they facelifted the old SN-95).

I had an SVO back in the day, and I loved it. You could definitely tell you were in a better balanced car. It got around a corner better and stopped better than the GT. Having a ‘16 GT with the performance pack is quite a bit of fun. All I’ve changed are wheels, tires, tune and exhaust. Going with a slightly larger squared setup drastically improves the turn in. I still crave boost, but I think I’m just gonna leave it alone.

I remember it being the girls favorite car back in high school with that underpowered v6

Now I’m waiting on AWD American muscle, big nast nasty

Pablo Da Vinci But that wouldn’t be a muscle car would it..

Alex_ K perhaps if they implement a kind of AWD system like M and AMG??

Prometheus thought the same like why not make a hellcat red eye AWD, but apparently not a muscle car if not rwd. I don’t get it but whatever.

Alex_ K I need that explained, I think if the GT500 was AWD it would just be the much more of a updated muscle car, I see muscle in the shape, and performance, making it AWD doesn’t have to mean changing the motor or any of the things that make it a muscle car 🤷‍♂️

Better than a GT500: better fuel economy, and more cargo space.

Lol, this reminds of the time someone asked me why I bother picking up the pace while driving my Jeep Wrangler on a twisty road, and I said, it's rear wheel drive, stick shift, and has tires with limits approachable at legal speed - so it's basically a BRZ!

Almost.

Even closer than almost if you can super charge it!

The Leo King was your ZR1 manual or auto?

That’s dope

Troy Patillo I bet it’s an auto. Otherwise, the GT500 has to be way more enjoyable than a manual zr1 despite GT500 being an auto car. In which, I highly doubt it.

@@christmasisawesome9348 well you just never know

Couldn’t agree more. 6months ago I went from a ZO6 to the GT500 and it’s a way more comfortable ride and turns into a beast in a heartbeat. Best stock exhaust I’ve ever had other then the wheels the car is perfection off the showroom floor only mod needed is wheels

Allen Margavich he always wanted to get a GT350R since it came out in 2016 but sadly he never did...

If someone will sell one for sticker.

and then hes gonna bitch about it and turn it in early like he did with the RS

John Stramiello I think he ended up hating the RS lol took a huge loss on it I believe he said it on his podcast

Do u really think so? My impression is that he is making excuses for this car.

Could not have said it better myself. I'm also 100% #savethemanuals but there is a line where the car is just too fast, too capable, and too powerful for a manual. For me, that line is where the interruption of the driveline for the time needed to make the shift would upset the car too much given it's limit capability and power. Supercars are there obviously, and apparently so are cars like this and the ZR1 Corvette (although the auto is a slushbox, so 👎 to that). I do think the new stingray should have a manual but that was more of a production numbers/business case thing, which is too bad. Being such a savethemauals guy, this video made me want to immediately look up GT350 prices. Amazing car though!

@@Neil__Craig it sounds like you haven't had the proper teaching/learning environment, which is too bad. That phase your describing is like giving up on a musical instrument because it doesn't sound good after the first couple lessons. Of course it doesn't, but it will with more time. I'm not saying this to force you to drive stick or shame you for not, but if you really love sports cars and driving than I do think you are leaving a lot of experience on the table by swearing off manuals before you've really had that ah-ha moment with them. Find a really patient teacher and stick to the empty parking lot for a while. Only venture out of that closed environment once you're totally comfortable with starting out from a stop in 1st - that's the hardest part. Once you're no longer anxious about that, you can start to build your confidence and have fun with it. Then, when you are ready to dance on the pedals on a twisty road, you'll understand what we are all so crazy about. Or maybe you won't, but at least you'll have a new skill and can speak from a more experienced place when talking about it. Side note, if you really are stuck in city bumper to bumper traffic 99% of the time, then I get it. I would probably have to have an auto daily and a manual fun car in that case, but again, it's a shame to swear it off until you've had the proper experience. 😁

@@Neil__Craig When I was learning to drive manual, it was almost a sudden realization on how it worked. I was horrible until something clicked and then it felt second nature. Like Craig said, just start out in a parking lot, then along a lonely dirt road, and progress up slowly.

I have a dsg gti. I sometimes wished I gotten a manual. Sometimes not. It’s not black and white. My other car, v6 Camry, no reason to get a manual, I just put around town in that.

@@Neil__Craig that's cool. I come at manual transmission evangelism from the prospective of pure driving experience. My favorite thing is a car with good handling, just enough power, a manual transmission and a curvy road with no traffic (or off roading but that's a whole other thing). In that situation, it's all about the visceral experience. I wouldn't go so far as to say the car is just a tool for the job, but it's like Burt Monroe said, the reward is in the doing of it. I also put it this way: when driving for the fun of it, the fun of it is all that matters. This is the context that I feel like any car guy who is inclined to that sort of driving owes it to themselves to at least learn manual to the point of seeing what all the fuss is about. But that is not to say that that's the only kind of car guy there is or should be. I totally see how an auto is the better tool for the job your describing.

VMP did it first, that is mounting a manual.

I love Jay Leon’s garage!

Never heard of Jay Leon. Does he have a channel?

Lol!!!

I'll always love and own at least one manual car. That being said, the fact of the matter is that a good DCT is just objectively faster, and when tuned well can even make a car more fun and engaging in a different way since you think less about shifting, and more on car control.

They are very impressive, but no :)

They’re faster than a sport bikes shifts, a DCT is faster than a sequential dog box at shifting, because DCT’s already have the next gear selected and engaged before the shift even happens.

And please consider this beast is only 1/2 the price of a gt3! Which means you can buy another one for the street!

Dang I’m a bit jealous, I just got a ride in one yesterday and it’s my new dream car. Fortunately my career prospects after college will likely give me the opportunity to own one, but I just can’t wait for it.

@@davidbresnahan5986 unfortunately, I have barely gotten much time with the car after all this time due to covid. I bought it right at the start of covid, and one month after I went back to stay with family for a while and did not return to America for quiet a while. I've been paying a friend to maintain it, but last I drove the car was in May sadly! Hoping to get back to it soon.

@@Beefy-Tech dang that’s rough, I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you and your family’s health is good right now and I hope you get back to enjoy your car soon.

@@davidbresnahan5986 thank you brother! Hope you get behind the wheel of your dream car soon ;)

I mean he was really disappointed by the last Gt500 because it sucked. So it's nice to see them bring it around

Also when he test drove the Corvette C8 Z51 he was jiggling and having a fun time👍

I had a 2010 and it was a huge disappointment. But this seems promising.

@@thrillamoe50 Ouch! I would trade in my Hyundai Elantra with your car anytime! When the GT500 2010 shows up at my local Ford dealership, I wanted one 😁

Nick Hanscome the chassis kind of sucked. But 662hp was nothing to complain about.

I ordered mine about three weeks ago, and all i can do is watch these types of videos. The wait is killing me!

@@whiskey_icarus oh ya haha I can’t even imagine waiting that long. I only had to wait a day hahaha but it will be that much sweeter when you get it. Just be really careful if you’ve never driven one. It is a serious monster. Keep traction control on until you get used to it. Lol. Also, make sure you break in the engine before really getting on it. I think the break in period is 500-1000 miles.

It is my therapy. Now I just have to get one in my garage somehow.

This upload offers that, but unfortunately it's the driver we hear 😃

I hope so

First TST morning dump in a while. I've missed this.

Jared Carstens he just did two other reviews in the past week

I literally have no idea what you’re talking about. How have you missed me? I’ve put out six new car review videos in the last four weeks.

@@TheSmokingTire LMAO... just a friendly guilt trip, miss the hooptie reviews... but keep up the good work!

I guess he misses the videos where you used to drive subscribers’ cars.

And you must be a dumb man too

😮

Yeah, some one’s gonna break their neck😿

That and a Mustang GT is a $35,000 dollar working stiff's pony car. Of course it's not going to feel exactly like an AMG would deliver power, but why would you expect that for for the price? What you get for your money is amazing.

Exactly. They have no place in the real world. Not even Matt can drive this car fast on this tricky road. It's a pig that ppl buy for hp bragging rights. Hoo-hah.

We have just the sound here. Unfortunately it's all driver 😂

He gets up early to do his hair. Cant rush beauty.

What the hell do you drive to catch up to this 😂😂🤔

@@shmoofgang Honda civic with cold air intake. works everytime

Nate Haji lmao he was just cruising good thing he didn’t try and run I would’ve been fucked

allan I have a stock 2012 civic Si 😂

No

Okay calm down

Amg can't hang anymore with this. There using 4 cyl turbos for 2021c63..please.this is a monster all the way around.

Twobarpsi amg is starting to go 4 cylinder in the c63 lol. Amg is dead

I have an AMG GTS, and trust me, no. No. It comes as close as a Mustang can, I respect it and I totally understand the comparison. but it’s a different league in more ways than I am willing to list. I respect this Ford immensely, they are getting much better in this sector. But AMG..--Mustang? That’s like Audemars Piguet being put up against, pfft, Citizen...? Maybe they can both give you the time, but...

Actually it is a stick only hidden under the dash and with dual clutch not only one

Sticks are being phased out

Pagani, Koenigsegg, Bugatti, and others think you're an idiot, and I'd have to agree

thats just stupid thinking

Buckets whatever dude.

@Buckets Maybe if you're a simpleton =)

@Buckets I can drive just fine. I'm assuming you've never had the opportunity to drive anything with a DCT, so I won't bother to argue with you about it.

I use it to get rid of swamp ass

good point

It's almost heretical to say, but the straight line muscle game belongs to Tesla now.

@@BuffMyRadius Dude you gotta be stupid. 1 Not a muscle car 2 Not a drag car 3 The demon beats its quarter mile time by 1.27 seconds.

It's a pony car

@@yusufgta4341 Right, thank you, I forgot the term

I totally agree 100%

it better be but they'll definitely make you pay for it.

@@burgerbandit3646 Initially, yes, but GM's MO after the hype is done is to whore them out at an average of 10% off MSRP.

It's as heavy as a Challenger Scatpack.

Couldn't be helped , now it dosen't over heat and the dct is heavy asf I have one and u can't feel it. I do want to try and.get a cftp because now because of covin-19 there not making as many as they where idk how many just not as many.

Weight is 3926. My Ford MSO had 4045 on it, my car is a non track pack GT500 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z-60gcPgHEw.html
