- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 is the most iconic high performance mustang. The new one, with a 5.2L supercharged V8 will do zero to sixty in 3.3 seconds and the quarter mile in the 10 second range. In this episode we compare it to a 1967 Ford Shelby Mustang in a good old school drag race comparison!

#Ford #Mustang #Shelby
This is a great video one of their best
Jason Cleveland couldn’t agree more! Just said the same thing.
They should race that new mustang against a kid in a 5000 dollar Civic EG hatch with an Ebay turbo. Those early big block GT's were bricks. Ford could never run with Chrysler and Chevy on the street.
T salinger1026 thats bullshit. The boss 429 ate gm and dodge all day back in the day. But to compare bricks to bricks all old school big blocks were cast iron. Soo all were bricks
Right???!!!!
I still watched and liked the video even though the outcome was very predictable.
Save you 10 minutes they don’t drag race them side by side. Enjoy the rest of your day cause I’m sure they will clickbaiting our views as usual

This made me feel bad for betraying you back in the day. But Skyrim is for the Nords.
Ole-marius Bergesen it’s okay traveler may the skies be clear.
Are you in Sovngarde yet now?
There's no actual head to head race, so here you go:
'67 = 15.24 sec. 92 mph
'20 = 11.49 sec 130 mph
Edit: For my metric friends, thanks to the commenter Niven Vojkovic:
92mph = 148kph
130mph = 209kph
Thanks Niven 👍
pretty slow, actually for a big block. must be rear-geared high at 3.50
The 2020 did 11 3 on a second run. The 67 was babied down through strip. They need to dyno the 67 GT500.
metric conversion
92 mph = 148kph
130 mph = 209kph
You’re welcome 🇦🇺
The owner of the ‘67 was babying the car. He didn’t launch at full throttle and I’m not sure he even floored it until he was well underway.
Yes the new one is much faster but the old one could have done better.
The 2020 driver had his ham sammich done before the '67 got there.
stop playing music when it accelerates, I want to hear the v8 sing
Old people don’t know how to edit videos
👍
Either a woman, or a liberal man
Know what your saying seems like any old car video have garbage when the motor is singing
no matter how powerful the new one is,you can never duplicate the sound four barrel when they all open up
This car has two 4 barrel carbs.
@@brettl2162 well, then there is twice as much fun!!
BA WOOOO
Surprised only 131 up votes!!!
Remember them Chrysler products 383 & above. With them big gas gushing thermoquads. Lots was in hot police cars of 70s & 80s. About 3 seconds of a sudden fuel intake bog then they would kick in & take off. Fast but brakes wasn't advanced enough. Brake systems today is like daylight & dark compared to them days.
Which one's faster? The new one by a long shot.
Which one's cooler? The old one...by a long shot!!
I agree the new one is so bloated looking
Which one is worth more? The old one ...by a long shot!
Obviously the 1st gen gonna be worth more than the next gens
@@johnfarel3152 new one looks nice but it's not a 67 GT500
New one is cool as heck but how much it costs it should have a real manual option I mean Chrysler had cars with this in the 1950’s ??? With both options I saw one in person with an old hemi as well
At least you don’t have to be taught a 10-step process on doing a burnout with the original
You don't need to with new one either if you know what you're doing. Not sure where you got that their setting was mandatory somehow
@@matthewhunter6421 You mean you dont need to if you wanna roast the rear brakes a bit.
Hi
It's not a process to do a burnout. It's exactly the opposite. It's launching the car doing a burnout it counterproductive to going fast. If you're spinning you ain't winnin.
It barely can do a a burnout and one wheel deal burnout that is
You’ll never convince me that the classic isn’t more fun
If I need a instruction manual to do something wild and fun, it ain't wild or fun
It needs a manual transmission
Even if i had the choice between these two cars id still choose the classic 60s gt500. I like classics more, they are easier to fix.
AMEN TO THAT NOTHING COMPUTERIZED LIKE YOUR ROLLOVER SENSOR OR ANYTHING DUMB LIKE THAT WITH THE CLASSICS ALL YOU NEEDED TO DO WAS ADD OIL AND GASOLINE TO DRIVE THESE DAYS YOU GOTTA HAVE A ROCKET SCIENTEST DEGREE TO WORK ON THE VEHICLES WHICH IS BEYOND DUMB IMO FORDS CUTTING THEIR NOSE OFF TO SPITE THEIR FACE
Yeah but joe biden is gonna ban them u have to buy tesla
@@stew-03 I'll move to Canada
@@stew-03 he’s an idiot in that case
Im a mechanic who learned in the 60s the cars look better in the 60s 70s but internally and design wise there much better today they dont look as good today but they handle stop n start better today
That new Shelby is a nice fast car, no doubt. But id take the 67. It'll turn far more heads idling through a parking than the new one.
Edit: Wow, 465 likes and 49 comments. Thats a record for me.
Ya it's cooler
Same here mate.
Eric Stevenson not so sure about that. Even if there not car enthusiasts, they’ll know the new GT500 isn’t an ordinary mustang
Who cares about what people think , get what you like
@@marco5.025
I like the '67
$4200 calculates to $32000 in today's market, what happened I want a gt500 for $32000
@Ross Kecseg Features im not asking for but have to buy them anyways. No thanks. And modern Cars look so wannabe aggressive. Some look like cars i sketched when i was 13. Overly agressive.
@@derstrohmann7450 yes!! Finally someone i can agree with, every car nowadays has to look aggressive and tough and its ruined cars that are actually made for toughness and speed like muscle cars...a stupid toyota camry doesnt need an aggressive front end
@@Esteez The sad part is most are unreliable and weak but look tough af.
Muscle cars, especially built for track, don't need fancy radios or cruise control. Also, driving on the track all them buttons on the wheel and the screen are just distractions you don't need. Most people are not Andrettis.
@@Esteez Nail on the head! It's a CAMRY!!! It's an old people and pedestrian car! It doesn't need to look aggressive! Dumb as hell! Trying way too hard and you can tell, and I despise it!
You can make that old Mustang as fast as the new one. The older one is 100 x cooler
when you need to program a car to launch that kills the fun of just stomping on the pedal.
You’re right it’s not driving anymore the modern cars today is the same as driving a video game on your big screen at home you don’t really need any kind of practice
The old one needs a driver, new one just needs a person.
very accurate
old cars need a driver, new cars an data analyist.
Exactly a better driver?? It's just stab and steer
@@lornahopkins460 , you support the Ditzy Chicks, and that already explains your intelligence level.
Okay boomer
Anyone disappointed with lack of head to head drag racing footage
Me too.
That's what I thought was the video
We got clickbaited hard
Yes we did!
Yup it sucked
You guys realize the value of the classic GT500? Would you want it raced head to head against another car by a couple of amateurs with probably the minimum insurance required?
"So how do you activate the line lock?"
"OK first you dial this in then you honk the horn then you bring up the screen then you select the correct selection then you hold in the Cobra button while pushing in the brake halfway then you calibrate the tire pressure then you count to 12 then you....."
"Never mind I'll just race with cold back tires."
I just bought a 2020 Mustang GT and it takes a little practice to master the linelock. The most important step: Turn off traction control! That step is never mentioned in the prompts. When you fail, the prompt says refer to manual. And there's absolutely nothing mentioned about it in the manual.
You'd think that would be automatic when enabling the very system that allows for a burnout 😂
It wasn't all that complicated...
In my opinion as soft as that thing launched you might as well run on cold tires.
Then wait for the pink polka dotted elephant to run across the track and then your off lol.
The Joy , smile and pride the 67 gives is priceless compared to the modern day car. You know when you drive its all driver. now its all computer your just there.
I can fix the 67 on the side of the road.
not with the 428! haha, you'll have to pull the motor to reach most of it ;)
I don’t have to fix the 2020 on the side of the road... warranty
@@Edgedable Yes, I think the warranty for the 67 stopped at the dealer's parking lot exit.
Well fortunately for him there was no Mustang with a 427

Smash the gas = turn off the music.
Engine makes it's own rock 'n roll
N 3 most dad thing i’ve heard today good lord
I agree, This old grand pa likes my mercury gran marquis with dual exhaust. Its no muscle car But just enough power to have fun without getting in trouble and 'Yes' There is something about that v-8 rumble thats just music to my ears.
Hell yes! Old school rock!
I found song lyrics woot woot
I'm 67 years old. I have a pretty good idea of who would win a sprint between me and a 17 year old. Appreciate the '67 compared to other '67s.
If I had a choice between a new Mustang or a fully rebuilt Stang from 67 thru 69, I'd take the old one 100 out of 100. The old Stangs just look so much better than the ones of today.. To each his own I guess.. Nothing beats the original!!
Those old motors weren’t really keen on power but they had a hell of a lot of torque. Still good torque by today’s standards
And less Computer Stuff means less Things that can break and/or are expensive to fix.
@@derstrohmann7450 the old mustang will still be far less reliable.
@@louisgordon4388 True but atleast you dont need a fancy scantool and a laptop to make it run again. Pros and Cons for both of these Cars. But still tying to hard to look aggressive :)
DerStrohmann i agree where you are comin from, havin tuned engines by ear for many years. But new cars are alot easier to fix. Any idiot can read a code and change a sensor. Not many can adjust points
That old motor can make a ton of power. A lil rebuild and blower amd it can out that old gt500 infront the new one easy. Its way lighter. The new one weighs 4200 lbs
"Launch control allows me to get the perfect launch every time" 10 seconds later, bogs down....
He's also launching it at like 2k so its gonna leave like a turd every time
@@ryanemigh1942 2K? Thats pretty low
Idk way u say anything just stfu
When you say that...
Don't you know it makes you sound like a. SISSY. ?
The instructor TOLD him to set launch at 1500. How many times do you think that guy has run down a track like that in the last few years?
I love the old Shelby lol I think it looks more like a muscle care than the newer muscle cars
Description: New Shelby runs "in the 10 second range"
On the track: 11.49
Yeah, that was close
No someone has drag raced it in that time
It’s still four seconds faster than the old one.
60ft makes a difference.
@Joe Shumo Trap speed was only 91, so yeah...roughly 15 flat is all she's capable of.
@@SealofPerfection factory claims it should have done 13.6 with the GT350 running at 15.6, so I'm guessing the owner of the Mustang doesn't want to break his investment
How much does a GT500 in prime condition with matching numbers go for these days ??
Performance is my business

That's why every other performance car with a similar power to weight ratio is faster lmaooo

@@townesendscantlebury8996 tesla has joined the chat.
The new mustang is absolutely an incredible car. Safe, efficient, comfortable, driver oriented, etc. The 1967, though. That car has a soul. Its insanely honest in its bare bones mechanicalness. For me, the 67 is the winner. Its timeless.
Christopher Sine i'll take new one
@@mskehan19
Same here! You'd have to be a fookin nutjob to not want the new one and go with the old one!!!
@@austinsears1637 I dont see how lol
@@austinsears1637 For drag racing, I'd take the new one, since that's a no brainer.
But the GT500 '67, as the original commenter described, has a soul. It has it's own 'vibe' while driving it, and imo it's styled way better than the modern one.
@@tbt0380 hah...it rides like a stage coach
Back in the 70's I bought a used Shelby Mustang 350 convertible. Most fun thing I ever had. Cruising speed was 100 mph and I took the jug handles on and off the freeway at 60. Drove it winter and summer for 4 years and lived to tell. Loved that car!
Still got my 69, fastback now in restoration original owner
I had a '68 fastback, built a 360 from a '75 pickup and stuffed in it. Ran ¼ mile in 10.63 at 138 mph at Bristol. It wasn't a super hot engine, but it was fun.
2020 people "I prefer the old one"
1967 people " I prefer the 2020 one"
Yep!
Opposites attract lol
No! The old car is fun for about 5 minutes but then what? Uncomfortable, unsafe and slow.
If people preferred old cars then no one would have made new cars.
@@miketheman4341
Newer cars lack style and the exhaust sound is all completely fake.
Divine Wrath
One is subjective as many people find new cars like the Ferrari and Aston models to look better than anything else made in the last 30 years. The second is something that tends to appeal to those who want to be seen rather than enjoy a great drive. I will take better performance over sound any day. A mid range Honda is faster than a muscle car from the 1960s with all its sound and looks. My 911S has a great sound and super car performance by the standards of a decade ago. It’s safer and more comfortable than old muscle cars not to mention being a great everyday car that you can track. Only an insane person would drive an old muscle car in the winter. It’s why that generation dove these only on sunny summer days.
Imagine transporting this to the past 1967. And showing people what the mustang shelby has evolved too.
Alien equipment = jail time
That breaks the law of time travel
@@BlameTheGuns technically going back at all would break all time travel laws.
Honestly they would probably be like “what is that plastic pos computer doing here”.
@@ChuckBeefOG that "plastic POS computer" is more advanced than any computer of the time and would be an absolute wonder to them. Just because you can't appreciate progress doesn't mean it's a POS
They may have improved the engine but they've somehow managed to turn a beautiful car ugly in the modern version. The 67 Shelby Mustang is stunning.
It's without a doubt more fun to drive the old cars where you really have to get to know them individually and not just press a pedal with launch control
But you are still getting your ass kicked by the new one!
@@volsboy672
And a McLaren F1 would beat that thing without Driver AIDS (Pun intended)
There is no loss in getting your ass kicked by a dude that couldn't drive the car without computer assistance
That's not a winning recipe, it's a crutch for the talentless
Winner: Old School!
And even dead last, you stil walk away a winner just in coolness pointsl
hate when youtubers take forever to get to the point, and when they do get to the point it’s click bait, bad video, you earned a unsubscribe and a dislike
Wow you really got them Brandon I’m sure they’re shitting their pants right now after you had the balls to say something that.
Ninja Ozai wow you really got me, i’m shitting my pants after you had the balls to say something that
That's why this video have EXACLY 10 minutes
10:04 not exactly 10min lol

You can keep the new one. I’ll take the old one every day.
Amen
I am with you
ok
Yes sir!
Had a 67 mustang, give me the new one
When I was a kid, three different neighbors had Shelbys. one a 1966 GT350, the other was a 69 GT350 convertible, and the last had a dark green 1970 GT500KR. I dreamed to one day own one myself, but as I grew older the price just kept creeping up, now the cars are way up there I'll never own one. Good on the ones who can.
I clicked on it to see the 2 cars go head to head but given I’m a Mustang - Shelby fan, I ain’t even mad they didn’t.
If I had the sort of money to buy either, I would in a heartbeat.
But, the 1967 model has always been and will always be, my dream car.
To drag race a new Mustang -
99 step process plus the deed to your house
Old Mustang -
Place foot on skinny pedal and push hard
No skills required, damn shame
That old horse needs your deed
that is one of the reasons i like the older muscles, nice to look at, you can have fun and its you the car and the road, and older mustangs dont like crowds
I also think its funny that ford had to build the old stang with a bb to get 350 hp. Lame as hell. Sbc has been beating that since 1955.
Dave- PRICELESS reply!!! Thanks!!!
Give me the classic.
“Better” isn’t always better.
you mean "faster" isnt better
Leave the classic in a museum, I'm all for new GT500 each and everyday...
AP faster is not always better
"New isn't always better"
@@wildbill23c I'm pretty sure some of these cars will. Like the demon, when we get old and die, the demon set the precedent for high powered FACTORY Muscle cars. That will be a classic car down the road.
I'm 73 y/o. I was driving the streets in 1967. The new Mustangs are so much better than than ones from 55 years ago, that you can race a 5 liter against a 7 liter and beat it by four seconds. The new models are faster, more reliable and more fun. I've owned 5 Mustangs in my life, cause I love Fords. When the e-Mustangs bring the 1/4 mile down to 7 seconds I'll be saying, "I told you" !!!!
I remember the mid seventies when we all KNEW the party was over. Performance cars were toast. We'd NEVER have anything better than pre '71. Geniuses weren't we?
That launch control on the new cobra seems sort of like cheating... when I was involved in drag racing (1970’s), launching well was most of the job. It was a skill to be proud of. Now the computer does all the work. No finesse from the driver.
Gonna say they should have turned the launch control off at least for the first run. Maybe the traction control too :-)
true. the driver pretty much admits he doesn't especially know what he's doing, and the guy instructing him basically says " just keep the gas pedal firmly to the floor and release the brake at the light". So basically your grandmother could get a good launch, as all of the skills required for drag racing are pretty much taken out of the equation.
let's go hunting, we have automatic rifle assist and anything you want to shoot has been tied down so as not to escape the pre-programmed bullets......yeah, real skill that
Drag racing modern cars is a joke. No launching. No shifting. Just press the gas pedal down and let the computer do the work. That’s why I laugh at these jokers who think they are cool dragging their hellcats and what not. No skill.
If people still did that the cars would be slow as hell,a human reaction time can only go so far,maybe stop being such an oldhead and accept that change is inevitable.
Don't care how much faster I'll take the classic any day!
Yeah I agree too
The '67 should be in the low 14's at the least. I know you don't wanna go too hard on a car that old and valuable but even though it's an automatic you still have to manually shift it if you want any kind of performance. Don't just put it in drive and go.
So after you take into account the launch control setup time, the 1967 completes the 1/4 mile in half the time of the 2020.
By the time you get into launch mode, set line lock etc the other driver has run a quarter, put the car on the trailer and driven to In-N-Out
jamieK111 what?
Hahaha, very true!
double double :)
Spoiler: the mustang won
NOOOOOOO!!! NOT AGAIN!!!!!
Love this video. I would definitely still take the old version though it’s way cooler
looks vs speed hmmmmmm tough one, looks! Plus the old one actually requires skill to drive, fun!
Omg just to start driving the new mustang. 30 minutes later. Give me the old school car any day. Get in it and go. No computer bs.
Shut your yap
Not so fast.... have to fool with the carb first!! 😩
@@smoothoperator7023 Adjust the butterflys & set the gap on the points!
Agreed. Totally.
@@Nrgheal why do you adjust your butterfly's ?? I can understand adjusting your jets, float level and fuel air mix, but butterfly's what are you doing changing the idle speed ???
And i will take the old one all day.
Same man
Same.
Pete T-rex I'll have a clone of the old one with the drivetrain and suspension out of the new one please....👍
Apple car play> old crap technology lmao
Of course, it's worth more annd looks better.
So...A supercharged modern engine against a 50+ year-old normally aspirated engine?
Okay.
Apples to Oranges!
It's no contest! Of course 700+hp that's super-charged is going to beat 350hp, but personally I'd rather have the '67 Shelby.
You can work on the old Shelby at home, but if the new Shelby breaks down, off to the dealership...and cost will increase once they diagnosis, cost of the part, and labor...I rather choose Eleanor "Go Baby Go"
You tell that 67 mustang is just yelling for more timing and a 4.56 posi that thing would run low 13's if it had just those two things
And someone to shift manual. It shifted at 4500.
He was running that 67 at 3/4 throttle. My dads 67 does 13's all day everyday.
They did that with an L88 Vette and it went low 11's.
I was wondering if they ran the 67 on high octane gas. I remember when my dad would sometimes put “Ethyl High Test” in his car. It sounded different and definitely ran stronger.
If the 67 was running regular gas it was racing with 2 cylinders tied behind its differential.
That and some stickier tires.
I named my daughter Shelby after the first one - my birth year is 1967 😂 Best car ever. Kids today don’t appreciate the drifters of old & their incredible power.
Old school still rocks, it's more about you, not some computers. That takes the true fun out of it
You wanna do a burnout on the new GT500? You better be a NASA engineer.
rolling burnouts are dead easy, they are just trying to keep dummies from crashing into lampposts
Yeah, the average Mustang driver needs a lot of help to keep from crashing into crowds. 😉
@@danmyers9372 The Mustang drivers that crash into crowds are idiots with no common sense and make me pay more for insurance on my Mustang. Anyone who is careless enough to crash into a crowd should be pulled out of the car for a good ass kicking.
My 67 Gt 500 was turning 12.86 in 67. It had a 4.11 rear dealer installed Detroit auto locker. Put some wider tires on it and the times would have gone down. The 67 was way bigger in the cool factor relative to the new Mustang. The inboard headlites and mag wheels added options were a must.
Yep, I had one as well in early 70's. Raced it with my 67 coupe (289) mustang and beat the Shelby so bad, the kid traded me for the 67 coupe, after I offered him $200 in cash as an incentive:-) I figured it worked to about $1100 cash and trade in 1973 with 40K original miles. After some work on the clutch, shifter and carbs, we raced again against my 67 coupe (which ran the 1/4 in 12.9 at Orange County Racetrack) and he only beat me by one car length, and that was all due to traction. My 67 coupe was like a cat, would literally jump off the line, the Shelby was tricky due to all that torque and not big enough or good enough tires. That 67 Shelby to this day was one of my favorite cars, loved working on those dual carbs and that massive motor. Plus the roll bar, aluminum dash and Shelby trimmings were pretty cool.
My pops was making damn good money back in the day and he had one but eventually sold it. He still regrets it to this day.. the pictures he has are badass
Not to mention, Hagerty put the car in D and punched it going down the dragstrip it was shifting way too early. You could hear it.
Id take the classic shelby, im older so i dont need to break the sound barrier and get a ticket. love the old shelby...
Back in the 80's I had the 69 stang gt, had the fast back roof, 4 head light up front 351 engine under the hood, and it was a great looking car. had to sell it for college bills, but it was fun while it lasted.
So, just how fast can that guy run alongside the car, telling me everything I need to do while I'm driving it??? 😏😏😏
I've always loved the mustang! Old all the way to new. I just got my first one, a 66 coupe!
I thoroughly enjoyed my '65. She will swap ends on you in a heartbeat, though. It's a hoot.
Good for you man👍👍👍, enjoy!!!👌👌👌
Just show us the drag race already. Stop wasting my time.
Says a typical impatient kid
Andy Taylor you are correct, but that’s why they put it last. No one would watch the rest of the video if they showed the race first.
ok boomer
That feeling when 700hp only gets you 11s .......
my 351w 64 fairlane with around 425hp gets 11:9's and is way more fun to drive.
Maan, you got that right👍
My friend drove me to school in his dads 67. In 1967. Coolest ever. White with close together running lights. His dad parked in a hospital parking lot 2 weeks later, and it was stolen. Like gone in 60 seconds I tell you !!!
Honestly I would be stolen it as well even to get the chance just to drive one before going to the lockup would be an honour
I love 1964-1972 American Musclecars...they have soul...when driving them it reminds you of better days when America was a far better place in time.
America was a horrible place at that time, especially segregation
So people getting gunned down in Vietnam War protests, and segregation was a better time?
@@sephiroth3553 bad things happen all the time regardless of what decade
Bob. don't listen to the leftist nonsense. America was a better place in many ways. Neighbors talked to each other. People understood decorum. Before 64 it was even better. After the trendy kids stopped wearing shoes, and the STDs were ramped up, people like your two critics here thought they were morally superior.
They were just Bigger=better they didn't try something new just but a bigger engine in it tune the suspension a little bit and that's it the only reason these are relevant is because of boomers the oil crisis forced companies to innovate which why we have Inline 4s making v8 or even v10 power
The 1967 should run mid to low 14 seconds easily .
You are right. 91 mph that thing is sick.
I've seen them in the 13s easy in the pure stock class.
he obviously had something very valuable and wasn't destroying it at the strip
Darin Porter that's bullshit
They are 2,000 feet above see level and in the desert DA probably weren’t the best either
The look of the classics cant be beaten.
I almost bought an original 1967 GT500 (427 # matching) in the same color scheme for $22,500 in 1988. I passed on it thinking it was too expensive. What a goof.
There ain't another school like oldschool. I'll take the 67'
God damn where the "race starts at this time" ppl at??
Samuel Middleton they can’t determine when it starts either lmao 😂 smh 🤦🏾♂️
To the guys that posted the times, thanks. A 10-minute video for a few seconds? Nah.
Both are amazing cars but the older '67 Shelby is absolutely beautiful. My dream car is a 1967 Shelby GT350 with a paxton supercharged engine
The old one tested in the video was less than 2/3s the cost of the new one, even after adjusting for inflation. $5043.60 (Manufacturer's suggested retail price, plus Federal excise tax, dealer preparation and delivery charges; does not include state and local taxes, Iicense or freight charges) That's under $39,000 including all hidden fees
Wait. How did you find those hidden fees?
So sad to see technology slowly replacing driver talent!
I know it is sad to see, but this was bound to happen. The computer can calculate far faster than any person.
I agree to a point, but the upside is that these newer cars are far more approachable for somebody who isn't as experienced. Much easier to pass on the love of cars and racing that way.
@@choltzapple I disagree. Sure you wont be a pro right off out the gate. But that's what makes a car guy. Truly loving the machine! The love for a car should be because you took it to the limits. You pulled it through the chicane. You had the better line through the ess curve. You had the better clutch release on launch and YOU beat the opponent! Not a totally controlled vehicle! To totally drive a car to your ability is total freedom!
@@bunkyspunkmeyer You act like there's no limits for the new one. There's still limits, and there's still a fine line between perfectly executing a corner vs oversteering/understeering into the wall. Sure, you can take the corner holding a lot more speed in the new one than the old one, but to go as FAST as you possibly can around a corner and nearing the limit of the car, there's still a lot of skill to be involved. The driver element is there. Take off your rose tinted glasses and be more objective instead of basing your entire statement on opinion.
@@choltzapple I see what your saying, but I think the days of parent and child working together in the garage on the car are slowly fading because cars are so difficult to work on now. That(in my opinion) is what the true love if cars is, not just the racing side.
At least the old one was affordable for a common working stiff at the time
They also can't even be bothered to show the actual time slips of the two cars. Also claiming the GT500 would sell for 100 grand is ridiculous, it's much closer to 150 or more.
I wanted to slap that engineer for overcomplicating a freaking burnout.😟
Seriously you shouldn't have to look at a menu!
Technology making an inexperienced driver capable on a track. I wonder if a burn-out is even possible without setting the menu, or if the technology blocks it when not in its designated track mode/burn out settings? Traction control might not allow it?
It would be interesting to see a qualified driver behind that wheel.
You have to defeat the traction control somehow.... I know, it's kinda sad.
I'm an automotive technician at a ford dealership. The engineer WAS over complicating things only because of how many steps in setting up launch control. The burnout can be done by anyone who knows how to do it, just disable traction control with the press of a button. The launch control is a track app that helps drivers that dont know anything about racing launch the car correctly. Any driver with experience wouldn't need to use the feature. Theres a lot of technology stuffed into these cars and it really is a lot of fun to play with, especially the active exhaust 👌 loud when you want it loud and fairly quiet when you want it quiet and all of these apps and features are available on the regular mustang GT since 2019.
that's why it is called FORD( Forget Our Research Department) they should have burn out,and quarter mile option,and computer should apply all those option automatically,that would be the option on 2022,so they sell more!
How to drag race in a modern car: push a button, push another button, push a button with your foot, and done.
Who needs skill when you got computers.
Exactly my thoughts... using a button to do a burn out is so pathetic
@@alissa3455 Got that right that's how a soy boy cupcake does it lol
Yep, and all it takes is money today, whereas you used to have guys who built drag race capabilities through their own skill and hard earned money for parts.
...yes, exactly...just like "who needs skill/talent to make music?...just pump out another pop hit with a computer"....
I'll give you a race ... just wait 2 minutes while I put my car into race mode
I drag raced my stock 383 '68 charger with its 727. And got 14.3 seconds at 100mph. I'm surprised it is quicker than a Shelby.
The new one will never have any collectable value; the 67 always will; old school rules; we didn't need computers to go fast back then !!
GT500 would have been better if the driver hadn't been babying it....driving like granny
Yeah, I noticed that, roo. What the hell? It was like he was afraid of the gas pedal. There wasn't even any engine noise! :-\
Or if it was a 4-speed instead of an automatic also would have been nice if it had a 427 but beggars can't be choosers I guess.
@@TubeYou7 Back in the days when autos were slugs against manuals. Nowadays the autos shift many times faster than a human ever could- but they're still not as reliable or fun to drive! Some things will never change.
That and some new tires.
'67 Shelby GT-500 wasn't really a hot car. Had a 428 Police Interceptor with a wimpy cam. The '68 has the beast under the hood. GT-350s for '67 and '68 were wimpy as well. Shelby turned out his best car in the beginning, GT-350R. He said so himself.
These cars from back in the day are always faster in our minds than they really were.
My V6 Acura (which is basically a V6 Honda Accord) is within half a second of Magnum P.I.'s Ferrari 0-60.
Way to go Ford. Found a way to make a line lock that's confusing and can be dangerous.
Here's what I'd do, AND IT'S FOOLPROOF. Put a cut-off solenoid in the front brake lines to stop fluid flow when the solenoid is on. Put the switch for it on the shifter handle and put an armored enable switch inside the console. Using it is as simple as this.
1) Open the console and enable the system by turning the armored switch on, sending power to the line lock solenoid. (Ground for the solenoid is enabled with the shifter handle switch.)
2) Pull up to the box and put the brakes on hard!
3) While the brakes are on, enable the solenoid and take your foot off the brake: Front brakes will stay on. Do your burnout.
4) Go to the line and repeat the front brakes locking procedure.
5) When the light goes green, release the solenoid switch as you floor the accelerator pedal.
On looks alone, the old one wins by a mile...………….
I prefer the new one tbh
They look nearly identical stop being so butthurt about new cars
@@LeslieB73 lol get your eyes checked
@@LeslieB73 yes but looks fade for the new model , in 5 years time the original gt500 still looks cool and go up in price ... the new car well it will fade a way because wel all E cars will beat it 1/4 mile times over and over ... .. lol
And the price goes higher as the time went on for the original factory trim...
The old one still has its rod bearings 😂
The sad thing is is that when the new mustang is 50 years old it will either in the junkyard or completely rebuilt because all of the plastic parts will have long since disintegrated...
I can't see anyone restoring the new one in 50 years .
The 67 the driver controls everything about the car.
The new one, he's a partially-involved passenger
Can you imagine matching a
'67 GT 500 V.S. a 1925 Ford Model T...and people would still rather have the Model T?
Some would claim the '67 was faster only because it had "skinny tires from the 20s" and was poorly driven.
Look at various other comments on this topic and you'll see what I mean.
Those people actually think that the '67 was a fast car by today's standard, when in fact a new bone stock VW GTI (not even fast by modern standards) would blow it away.
@@peteshea8010 Its EASY to make a car go fast when you have the benefit of 100 years past technology. Guys in the 50s and 60s figured out that disc brakes were better than drum brakes. Radical cams. Aluminum heads. These are the things that make a car go fast. Not just putting them all in one car and claiming to know anything about cars.
But if today's car makers are so great WHY do there cars SUCK?
I would rather have a 1925 Ford Model T then that dammed "launch control" Mustang!
Its just pathetic that these Clowns CAN'T build a car that I Would rather have than a car built in 1967...pathetic. But I guess DORKS don't make for good car builders?
The VW you mentioned SUCKS! I'd rather have a '67 bug!
@@harringtonbenton334 Aluminum heads actually make less power than cast iron heads when all other things are equal. I own a 2018 VW GTI Autobahn.
Trust me, it doesn't suck.
Also, today's production cars don't have "radical cams" because they wouldn't pass modern emissions standards if they did. Today's cams are mild in many ways in that they utilize modest overlap and lobe center angles.
Have you got anything else to tell me or are you done now?
@@peteshea8010 I never mentioned making more power you did...READ CAREFULLY, LISTEN and try to LEARN. Disc brakes don't make a car go faster either.
Those are just innovations related to speed. You SLIMILLY applied a literal context to them to make a phony argument.
The ONLY thing good about these Mustangs is that retro body style!
Everyone wants the SHELBY ( the REAL Shelby) not the launch control. CAN YOU READ?
DARE to change that retro body style and Mustang sales will go away. And FORD dammed well knows it.
Example look at that last Pontiac GTO no retro body style. NO ONE wanted it. If it had a '65 GTO retro look it would be as popular as the Mustang.
Being a Motorcyclist all my life we understand the sensation of speed. Simply it dissipates over time until no matter how fast you go it gets boring. This is why guys love OLD motorcycles. Each time you ride it is a different experience. And you're not going 200 mph.
If you were intelligent my words would be like the gospel.
BUT to a fool....NAHi
You just wrote multiple paragraphs of nothing.
That old mustang will do better than 15's on the quarter mile. This guy either can't drive or he took it easy.
The guy has alot of retirement money invested and if he breaks something or spits a rod his wife will never let him buy another .
I had to comment on this, I had an argument with someone not too long ago, I have a 1996 Corvette, its a 350 LT1 auto, and its not stock, but it isn't over built either with 3.23 gears. It doesn't run stoplight to stoplight it does everything well. He has a 1970 Chevelle 4 speed with a built 454 and gears and I know without a doubt i can clean his clock in the 1/4 mile and in any top speed race. He won't ever race because deep down he knows it too. He still wants to live in the fantasy land that 600 horsepower in an old tired muscle car is the legacy of his youth when today's technology and refinement would kick his ass in a car making half that horsepower. Some people don't want to let go and thats fine. I get it, i love the old muscle cars like everyone else, Im just not naive enough to let that love of the past affect reality.

Just takes a stock car to an 11.4. Man I love 2019.
You think a new Shelby is stock??
@@TheRoadhammer379 It is stock, if you can buy it off of the Ford website and off a Ford dealer lot. It's like calling a M3 not stock compared to a average 3 series.
@@Dagoroth55 with a warranty too!
TheRoadhammer379 You know what stock is idiot ?
In event of a EMP, your 67 mustang will be up and running in no time.
Good luck finding undamaged ECU BCM etc on your modern Mustang!
After an emp there is no gasoline or any other infrastructure so we can drive 1 tank and that's it
In the event of an EMP not being able to start your car is probably the least of your problems !
Great response.
bigbadjonrob1 that’s what I was thinking. I hope they have a lot of guns and ammo and know how to survive. Because it will be rough.
@@ok88warrior I can make methane and wood gas.
How to do a burn out in 2020: track apps. press ok, then select line lock. press ok..........
How to do a burn out in 1967: stomp gas pedal.
The guy says of the '67: "The GT500 was a purpose-built drag car and the GT350 was much more of a road-going car". Actually they were basically an identical car, one had a small block and one had the big block. Naturally the lighter small block engine made the 350 handle better but other than that they were identical.
I lost interest when I saw the AUTOMATIC in the 67
Too funny but it makes me feel good that i am not the only one who gets disappointed when i see a automatic in a classic muscle car
I want to say that the GT500 in 67 only came in an auto, could be wrong but it was a special edition type thing.
Paul Winnie Not true. Came in a four speed manual or three speed auto
@@nikki5399 thank you. I thought I had read that as trivia somewhere. Still, only like 2000 GT500's were made in 67, so a driver in that condition, I really don't think I would scoff. I am willing to bet that auto 67 is in better shape than his 67
automatic is quicker than a stick.....
Imagine how many passes you get with the old one while the new one gets prepped for its launch.. which would never time out correctly on a real raceday
even if you just floored it, the 2020 would still win 😂 love the 67 tho
That horsepower number was way underrated on the old gt500
Insurance: how much horsepower?
Ford: 5̶0̶0̶ 🤔🤔🤔....350?
I’ve got an ‘11 shelby, and a ‘67 GTO convertible.
The shelby is a great every day. Rides nice, stopes great, fast, comfortable…..
The Goat is semi comfortable, doesn’t stop or steer nearly as well, is moderately fast. But it sounds so much better and is good for turning heads and starting conversations.
I’ll take the old stuff any day….so much prettier and more class
