$140’000 with inflation costs recently in Canada. Everything in general is overpriced cause governments want more money from us, to do absolutely nothing with economy. Looking for a new car soon and even the most basic cars are like 30’000! I own a bloody Mini and it costs less than a freaking Civic. 😂
@@tinleo3339you're lying, I can literally see some at auctions going for 50k, unless you're buying a REALLY expensive version/newer model but I HIGHLY doubt anyone would buy it for that price. Insane.
@@Kiule2 I've seen some go for about $65K at auctions (after a few bids..for really low mileage 2013 models). I have seen some '14 models go for about $55K (which is strange since it is essentially the same car with very few differences and one year newer). The track pack cars and also the glass roof equipped ones seem to run higher. I haven't seen any convertibles at the auctions though...
I just sold my BMW M3 and was looking for a Mercedes S550. When I pulled into the lot I saw they had a used shelby. While test driving the S550 all I could think about was that shelby. So I made the mistake of test driving it. Holy shit the power of this thing! You barely press the gas on the highway and you fly past everyone no problem. It looks and sounds mean. I'm not a fan of the shifter. Maybe because I'm used to BMWs but this car is amazing. You could feel the power of this car even going 35 mph. Very stiff and fast ride that gets your heart pumping. I have always been a Ford fan but they really impressed me with this Shelby gt500. This girl loves her Shelby!
Jennifer Wilkerson not just the girls love the gt500, kids , young adults, elderly people also teachers, doctors, surgeons, police oficcers in first place, and basically all americanos should love this car is even more american than the camaro just remember this camaros where invented to beat the mustangs just keep that in mind back in the day there where only mustangs until Chevrolet said thats enough and came up with a hotter and more attractive to the eye car the camaro but in reality is not but im not hating on camaros either you know i had a 2012 ss 6.2 and a 2014 zl1 and they both where my babys but when i got to the gt500 it was in another level shit i was in aother galaxy when i first step into the pedal. just in conclusion Chevrolet makes good pony cars but ford makes the better cars since day one.
I've had my 2014 Shelby since new. Solid as a rock. A very well made car. Zero problems (apart from airbag recalls), zero rattles, priceless sound effects, and performance is a mind fuck.
I remember looking at this back in the day , I said to myself, I gotta have it!! Years later, prices were still high, testaments to the name n the engineering, I had a trip to Vegas and visited Shelby’s shop, I bought one albeit it a 2010, never loved a car this much!! Thanks Carroll Shelby Rest In Peace!!
I am a GM guy. As a graduation present my parents bought me a brand new 1989 Pontiac Trans-Am GTA in Flame Red Metallic. I remember the Mustang GT 5.0 of the day being a handful if equipped with the manual. GTAs only came with the auto if you had the 350 cubic. Size down to the 305 and you could get the manual. I never liked those Mustangs much. Fast forward to the early 2000s and the C5 Z06 caught my eye. My wife and I ended up grabbing a 2003 and had it till she was smashed in to by an unlicensed and uninsured illegal alien. Now it's 2022 and if you can believe it recently saw my first 2013-14 GT500 just the other day. After a decade in Arizona, seven years in Houston, and now 2 years in Florida I finally see my first GT500 of that generation up close. The presence of the thing is unmistakable. Pictures and videos do not do the car justice. I have been around Vettes, Camaros, and the Mopar trash they call cars and they are what they are. The Shelby has a presence I liken to a McLaren or Ferrari. Hear me out. With the right pieces added to the car it looks menacing. That snake emblems and many emblems at that. Just knowing Carroll put his stamp of approval on the car. The last two years in fact with the 2013-14. Even with all the Mustangs running around out there and many of them posing as a Shelby with their added badges or Shelby nameplate or rocker panel stripes. It doesn't take away from the Shelby exclusivity of the car. The new ones are bad ass and perform the way I like my cars to perform, but lack the Shelby mystique. My wife and I are looking to put a sports car back in the garage and the 2013-14 GT500 is on our short list.
NO kidding this guy has been hosting Motorweek for like beginning of time! I can remember watching him on T.V. in the 1990's on Saturday evenings. I was about 14yrs old and now I'm 37yrs old now. And he still hosting the show, He haven't aged a bit. man time flies!
Amazing MPGs from this beast! I drive a 2012 F150 short bed regular cab 3.7 V6 auto, averaging 12.4 mpg & engine is in top condition; has never been higher. I'm also a conservative driver who rolls along with traffic, not jamming the accelerator to stay ahead in the fast lane. I've always been disappointed with the very low fuel economy for the 3.7
That 3.7 is a decently reliable engine but it doesn’t do you any favors at the pump. Even in the V6 Mustangs back when they sold them with it they had nearly the same economy as the V8 GTs with far less thrills.
What a difference from the Motorweek throwback show cars of the 80s. "The car made a spunky 0-60 time of 9.8 seconds, and a sporty quarter-mile time of 18.3 seconds."
Motoweek, first of all I just want to thank you for years and years of joy and great information passed on to your viewers like myself. Question I have is have you ever had any accidents with these borrowed test vehicles over the years, like blooper videos?
Yep these cars will continue to rise in price. They where only built for 2 years... well at least with the 5.8 trinity, anytime a car is built for just a couple years with a special engine the value is always going to climb, just like the 03/04 terminators
@@searaydrivingguy it's like 95% due to the different blower. Not only did the 5.8 receive a better 2.3 tvs vs a 2.1 non tvs on the 12 its also spinning a decent bit faster doing like 14 psi stock vs 9 psi for the 12. Put the same blower on a 12 it makes comparable power to the 13 with the 5.4. Imo the 5.4 is the better motor once modded. They can all take about 800 hp on a stock motor but the 5.4 seems to hold up better from what I've seen at higher power levels. With all that said people see stock hp is lower on the 5.4 cars so they automatically think potential must be lower that couldn't be further from the truth. Swap that head unit out for a trinity 2.3 or even better a vmp tvs the 5.4 is every bit as good. On paper the 5.8 had various small changes but in the real world the better blower and the fact it was pushing more boost stock was 95% of the power difference. The 5.4 cars have the same badass tr6060 trans and the motor is just as stout if not more so. I am very familiar with how over looked the 5.4 cars are being the owner of an 07. Mine is at 550 rwhp with simple bolt ons I don't even have headers. I have a vmp gen3r 2650 tvs I got on black Friday from vmp for 3499 brand new when I swap the blower in the spring it'll be more than a match for most 13-14 cars with similar mods. The earlier cars were just more restricted stock ecspecially 07-09 but once modded they're all just as capable. The 5.8 is overrated and the 5.4 is underrated.
225 horse in a light weight fox was pretty good in 1988. They were one of the quickest cars around ecspecially for the money. It isn't always just about hp. The old 5.0 has 300 lbs ft of torque and had alot of potential. Yea hp wise they have alot more these days but so does everything. Every manufacturer has came a long ways in 33 years lol
I've never had that problem with my Shelby. It tracks perfectly at the tracks I have used it at and the rear seems very planted and controlled. Turn in is sharp and it lots of power...no problems whatsoever.
I loved my GT500 convertible, 2011 and it "only" had 550hp. What a wonderful engine sound and I loved the manual transmission. Live axle with 550hp, be careful!
What fluid does it come with from the factory? I was definitely curious to see why the brakes were getting such bad reviews, especially for being Brembos. Nice to know it is such a simple fix.
Yes there is a sport setting via AdvanceTrac, but I want to know how a stroked motor can rev more than my 5.4L? You would think it would rev less. I would love to have a 7k redline in my '10
...And now we know they added weight *everywhere* and made a 4100 lb Mustang. 😕 They managed to make a car that can turn some fast lap times, and still feel ponderous doing it.
Ford has GM to thank for some good engines. Camaro SS came out in 2010, in 2011 Ford dropped the 5.0. After the ZL1 was released, Ford bumped the engine to 5.8 liters and 662 horsepower. Competition is a great thing
Robert Smith: I thought Ford dropped the 5.0 in '96 for mustangs and moved to the 4.6 initially for the 96+ Mustang years and then put a 4 valve 281 (still 4.6) Supercharged motor in the '03/'04 Cobras? From 2002-2009 due to low sales the camaro was dropped and the mustang had no camaro competition. The SS/Camaro was brought in because it really really needed to (mustang had no camaro competition since 2002 and since the modern GT500 came out in 2007 with 500hp). The ZL1 was brought in to eclipse the then current GT500 (had 550hp at the time) with the new 580hp ZL1. Unfortunately Ford crashed that coming out party by announcing the 662hp '13 GT500. I think both car companies have to thank each other for the competition. It did not look good for Camaro since 2002 and it did take while, but I am glad the last generation of ZL1 came out with 650hp. Without that competition the 2020 GT500 (probably 775hp) would probably not be coming out.
I’d set this pony up as follows: - 720whp FBO - 0.5” lowering springs - Koni adjustables - CF hood, fenders and trunk - watts link - Upper and lower rear control arms - Boss rear seat delete - Shelby widebody kit - 295/355 Kumho ACR tires on 19”
I don't know if it's because this was the last car Carroll Shelby was involved in (Even to a small degree), but looking back now, this car was something awesome. Don't get me wrong, the new 2020 Shelby GT500 is cool. But the 2013-14 just seems more appealing to me. I think it's a better looking car, with a proper stick-shift. 662 hp was huge before the Hellcat came along, and best of all this was a true 200 mph capable car. They took an old-fashioned solid axle platform a and worked some engineering magic to make it so awesome. It was a flagship muscle car. The new car, as incredible as it is, seems more track day niche market to me.
Carroll Shelby's degree of involvement was to give them permission to use his name. ...Since about 1967. It was no secret this GT500 was 100% an SVT product, and their successor to the "Terminator" Cobra.
Even better. There are some people out there that have gotten there Shelby into the low 11s in the quarter mile (best I've seen is 11.2)with everything being stock (just being good drivers).
i have a charger with irs and it still jumps over the bumps in turns....ya its not as bad as a solid but it is not as good as i would have expected!! and all 2015 mustangs will have irs! hopefully some better brakes too!!
My mistake... looking at both MT and R&T's testing. the ZL1 edges on the lateral grip, but the GT500 is faster around the track than the ZL1. 1:38.69 seconds for the GT500 around Laguna Seca, 1:39.18 for the ZL1.
@@Steve_Milo well if it should be that way, why does the 2020 gt500 come in automatic only? Not to mentikn its a dual clutch which is ultra fast. And i dont care how professional you are. You can still get beated by a well made and programed automatic like the 10 speed in the zl1 1le vs a 6 speed. Btw, we have paddle shifters to keep the rpms within range in the corners. And what if someone just wants to have a auto to let the car do what its supposed to do and you just sit there and chill while you cruise down the road. Its my money. I shouldnt have to buy an automatic and get ridiculed by you or others that oppose automatics for some stupid reason. Ive driven a manual before and the only thing that happened was me cutting off the engine like 9 times. Even when i got it in gear and started shifting (i was driving a 2017 challenger scatpack manual), i didnt feel any sensation or fun that alot of ppl speak about so much. So i basically did not enjoy my time driving a manual. I can just put the automatic gear shifterinto manual mode and change geads using the paddle shifters. And since ive got 8 gears or more to play with, it in a way adds more fun because there's more combinations than 6 gears. Yes you have the 3.73 gearing to a rather shorter gearing set that autos typically have, but the extra gears compensate for that. Not to mention you can get better mpg if ur cruising with an auto than with a manual. Yes ur not concerned with fuel when you have a muscle car. But who doesnt wanna get the best out of their cars when it counts? I do. Also a final thing. Autos nowadays come with remote start and not manuals. Most cars will automatically turn on the ac and vented seats if equipped when its hot outside (like here in houston where its almost always hot and humid) and in the winter time will get the oil running to operating temp while the heater and heated seats and sterring wheel (if equipped) will get started and warmed up. You cant do that with manuals.
@@Steve_Milo im talking about remote start. Cars equipped with remote start must have a automatic transmission for obvious reasons. It might be a feature worth having for someone who aants to either just start up their car from a distance or to have a more comfortable inside. Its just a feature that manuals dont get to have. So if someone wants remote srart, they have to sacrifice the manual. And why is it that across the board on the 3 american muscle car brands, the automatic variant has a higher rated mpg in city and/or highway than its manual variant - even if its a gain in 1 mpg? For example, the challenger manual scatpack is rated at 14/23 while the automatic is rated at 15/25. And for the manual scatpack, you have to pay a $1000 gas guzzler tax. With the auto, you dont
@@Steve_Milo 2016 camaro ss with the 8 speed is rated at 17/28 which is very impressive while the manual is rated at 16/25. And the mustang with the 10 speed is rated at 16/25 while the 6 speed is 15/25
Cece T: Fastest stock auto mustang GT was 11.8 at something like 119mph. Fastest stock 13/14 GT500 was 11.2 at 128mph. The auto helps the GT in the quarter mile, but still cannot overcome the Hp/tq deficit.
@@philbella8497 that is over half a second and 9 mph trap speed. A 13 would walk away hard from a 18 5.0 stock vs stock. The gearing in the 10 speed helps the 5.0 get a fast et for the mph for being stock but at the end of the day it's trapping 9 mph less that is pretty significant. The 5.0 wouldn't be nowhere near as fun to drive. That 11.2 at 128 in one of those gt500s would be alot more sketchy and alot more visceral and brutal vs that smooth 11.8 at 119. On paper it don't seem like a big difference but the actual experience would be worlds apart. It isnt always just about numbers.
Not yet. Was looking at a blacked out one day after Thanksgiving, with the black stripes. Sexy beast no doubt. But after looking at about 5 professional reviews on youtube, there was a common theme: 1) fun to drive (because of the way the pony dances), 2) tons of power, 3) serious brake fade early into aggressive dirving (car just won't stop) and I can believe this because after seeing how BIG the disks are, teh calipers are just too small, and 4) oil temp gets way to hot on aggr driving.
It goes both ways. Everyone has their favorite car or brand. There are plenty of Euro fans that put down the Shelby simply because it is not a European car and a lot of times simply because it is an American car. I don't get upset. I just shrug it off and chalk if off as just another non-car enthusiast that have no clue how to appreciate all the makes and models and types of cars. Like a I said before..it is simply a car. It does not push you up the real social rankings.
That's one of the major issues, I completely agree. People talk about cars they don't know. I've driven a '12 GT500 from Boulder CO to San Fransisco, with stops in Vegas and Phoenix, so not short trip really. I don't get it. It is IMO, not a good car, no matter the price. I find that there's so many levels on which, it simply does not work. Yes it's simple and it's cheaper than many other sportscars, but honestly, you get what you pay for, and in this case, not even that. Just my o2 on that car.
2:05 say it with me “no automatic is available”

Ford has GM to thank for some good engines. Camaro SS came out in 2010, in 2011 Ford dropped the 5.0. After the ZL1 was released, Ford bumped the engine to 5.8 liters and 662 horsepower. Competition is a great thing
Robert Smith: I thought Ford dropped the 5.0 in '96 for mustangs and moved to the 4.6 initially for the 96+ Mustang years and then put a 4 valve 281 (still 4.6) Supercharged motor in the '03/'04 Cobras? From 2002-2009 due to low sales the camaro was dropped and the mustang had no camaro competition. The SS/Camaro was brought in because it really really needed to (mustang had no camaro competition since 2002 and since the modern GT500 came out in 2007 with 500hp). The ZL1 was brought in to eclipse the then current GT500 (had 550hp at the time) with the new 580hp ZL1. Unfortunately Ford crashed that coming out party by announcing the 662hp '13 GT500. I think both car companies have to thank each other for the competition. It did not look good for Camaro since 2002 and it did take while, but I am glad the last generation of ZL1 came out with 650hp. Without that competition the 2020 GT500 (probably 775hp) would probably not be coming out.
that engine is absolutely beautiful
Ok how do you know more pistons are better? Did you measure the rear brake temperature after 5 laps at the track in this car? Do you have the data?
I’d set this pony up as follows:
- 720whp FBO
- 0.5” lowering springs
- Koni adjustables
- CF hood, fenders and trunk
- watts link
- Upper and lower rear control arms
- Boss rear seat delete
- Shelby widebody kit
- 295/355 Kumho ACR tires on 19”
Nothing can beat this at its price.
All while standing in front of a Roush Mustang for the intro.
coil springs in the rear nice!
good video
You started your segment about Shelby's with a roush mustang ??
I don't know if it's because this was the last car Carroll Shelby was involved in (Even to a small degree), but looking back now, this car was something awesome. Don't get me wrong, the new 2020 Shelby GT500 is cool. But the 2013-14 just seems more appealing to me. I think it's a better looking car, with a proper stick-shift. 662 hp was huge before the Hellcat came along, and best of all this was a true 200 mph capable car. They took an old-fashioned solid axle platform a and worked some engineering magic to make it so awesome. It was a flagship muscle car. The new car, as incredible as it is, seems more track day niche market to me.
Carroll Shelby's degree of involvement was to give them permission to use his name. ...Since about 1967.
It was no secret this GT500 was 100% an SVT product, and their successor to the "Terminator" Cobra.
my crazy husband has this car! Way too FAST!
Even better. There are some people out there that have gotten there Shelby into the low 11s in the quarter mile (best I've seen is 11.2)with everything being stock (just being good drivers).
662hp, 60k. Greatest performance car bargain in automotive history.
I like this so much :)
What size is that blower? And why can it rev to 7k? Mine is limited to 6500rpms. If anyone knows?
Many improvements 2021
I also wonder how much better the track times would be if they changed the brake fluid on their testers.
This is my next car in a few years to replace my 2011 mustang gt track pack
DId you ever get the shelby?
Or just slap a VMP blower on that GT
How do you introduce a Shelby while putting your hands on a roush
My dream car
i have a charger with irs and it still jumps over the bumps in turns....ya its not as bad as a solid but it is not as good as i would have expected!! and all 2015 mustangs will have irs! hopefully some better brakes too!!
LOVE the Mustang
for 660 HP that MPG is insane good job ford!
My mistake... looking at both MT and R&T's testing. the ZL1 edges on the lateral grip, but the GT500 is faster around the track than the ZL1. 1:38.69 seconds for the GT500 around Laguna Seca, 1:39.18 for the ZL1.
Thx Mr.Shelby for falling in love with cars...RIP. (Now let's ride playa)
beautiful
Great job Ford and the Blue oval Guy's
A very formidable car even against the new GT500, jmo.
Geez.... Almost hits 130 mph in the quarter mile-- stock.
With an automatic transmission, it would suprass 130 mph easily
Mr dark man never been done wit some slicks it can go over 130
@@Steve_Milo well if it should be that way, why does the 2020 gt500 come in automatic only? Not to mentikn its a dual clutch which is ultra fast. And i dont care how professional you are. You can still get beated by a well made and programed automatic like the 10 speed in the zl1 1le vs a 6 speed. Btw, we have paddle shifters to keep the rpms within range in the corners. And what if someone just wants to have a auto to let the car do what its supposed to do and you just sit there and chill while you cruise down the road. Its my money. I shouldnt have to buy an automatic and get ridiculed by you or others that oppose automatics for some stupid reason. Ive driven a manual before and the only thing that happened was me cutting off the engine like 9 times. Even when i got it in gear and started shifting (i was driving a 2017 challenger scatpack manual), i didnt feel any sensation or fun that alot of ppl speak about so much. So i basically did not enjoy my time driving a manual. I can just put the automatic gear shifterinto manual mode and change geads using the paddle shifters. And since ive got 8 gears or more to play with, it in a way adds more fun because there's more combinations than 6 gears. Yes you have the 3.73 gearing to a rather shorter gearing set that autos typically have, but the extra gears compensate for that. Not to mention you can get better mpg if ur cruising with an auto than with a manual. Yes ur not concerned with fuel when you have a muscle car. But who doesnt wanna get the best out of their cars when it counts? I do. Also a final thing. Autos nowadays come with remote start and not manuals. Most cars will automatically turn on the ac and vented seats if equipped when its hot outside (like here in houston where its almost always hot and humid) and in the winter time will get the oil running to operating temp while the heater and heated seats and sterring wheel (if equipped) will get started and warmed up. You cant do that with manuals.
@@Steve_Milo im talking about remote start. Cars equipped with remote start must have a automatic transmission for obvious reasons. It might be a feature worth having for someone who aants to either just start up their car from a distance or to have a more comfortable inside. Its just a feature that manuals dont get to have. So if someone wants remote srart, they have to sacrifice the manual. And why is it that across the board on the 3 american muscle car brands, the automatic variant has a higher rated mpg in city and/or highway than its manual variant - even if its a gain in 1 mpg? For example, the challenger manual scatpack is rated at 14/23 while the automatic is rated at 15/25. And for the manual scatpack, you have to pay a $1000 gas guzzler tax. With the auto, you dont
@@Steve_Milo 2016 camaro ss with the 8 speed is rated at 17/28 which is very impressive while the manual is rated at 16/25. And the mustang with the 10 speed is rated at 16/25 while the 6 speed is 15/25
Masterpiece
How come he is standing in front of a roush mustang at the beginning?
COOL Road Test: 2013 Ford Shelby GT500
That MPG is great on the highway. That 6th gear is taaaaalllllll. (Small tank though)
Did anyone else catch the red Roush stang John was standing behind as he talked about the Shelby. 😅
Or be capable of 200+ MPH all while retaining a factory warranty? It's truly awesome!
actually smoking the tires does help times, the goodyear eagle f1 tires are sensitive to heat they suck when cold, heat them up and launch at 3800rpm
I love it.
565 horsepower?! HOLY SH*T! That thing is a MONSTER! Way to go Ford!!
Just seen this review, the new 18/19 5.0 runs that fast now with the 10sp auto. Crazy!
Cece T: Fastest stock auto mustang GT was 11.8 at something like 119mph. Fastest stock 13/14 GT500 was 11.2 at 128mph. The auto helps the GT in the quarter mile, but still cannot overcome the Hp/tq deficit.
@@philbella8497 that is over half a second and 9 mph trap speed. A 13 would walk away hard from a 18 5.0 stock vs stock. The gearing in the 10 speed helps the 5.0 get a fast et for the mph for being stock but at the end of the day it's trapping 9 mph less that is pretty significant. The 5.0 wouldn't be nowhere near as fun to drive. That 11.2 at 128 in one of those gt500s would be alot more sketchy and alot more visceral and brutal vs that smooth 11.8 at 119. On paper it don't seem like a big difference but the actual experience would be worlds apart. It isnt always just about numbers.
Not yet. Was looking at a blacked out one day after Thanksgiving, with the black stripes. Sexy beast no doubt. But after looking at about 5 professional reviews on youtube, there was a common theme: 1) fun to drive (because of the way the pony dances), 2) tons of power, 3) serious brake fade early into aggressive dirving (car just won't stop) and I can believe this because after seeing how BIG the disks are, teh calipers are just too small, and 4) oil temp gets way to hot on aggr driving.
What color is it
2 words pure awsomnes
when I saw 3.5 0-60...i actually said WOW! out loud. I don't think my c6 corvette will even do 3.5 after i put this supercharger on it.
in away the SuperSnake is a GT500 its just one sent to Shelby America and they tune it up.
On the street you don't.
At the track it helps to spread the clamping force and most of all heat distribution across the rotor.
Why does this video open with a Roush Mustang?? Where they hoping we wouldn't notice??
I like how he starts off talking about Carroll Shelby standing next to a Roush mustang lol Either way both very nice cars
Well!!!!!! found 1 day after Christmas 2016 with 1300 miles !!!! I've modded already holy moly batman!!!!!!!!!
Fords awesome
Every Mustang should have a toddler sized rear seat.
My parents had a 69 fastback when I was a kid, and you couldn't see out the front.
Wow. 662HP and 11.7 1/4 mile.
Haha gotta love how they found a Roush for the part where they talk about missing Shelby...
I love Mustang
It goes both ways. Everyone has their favorite car or brand. There are plenty of Euro fans that put down the Shelby simply because it is not a European car and a lot of times simply because it is an American car. I don't get upset. I just shrug it off and chalk if off as just another non-car enthusiast that have no clue how to appreciate all the makes and models and types of cars. Like a I said before..it is simply a car. It does not push you up the real social rankings.
That's one of the major issues, I completely agree. People talk about cars they don't know. I've driven a '12 GT500 from Boulder CO to San Fransisco, with stops in Vegas and Phoenix, so not short trip really. I don't get it. It is IMO, not a good car, no matter the price. I find that there's so many levels on which, it simply does not work. Yes it's simple and it's cheaper than many other sportscars, but honestly, you get what you pay for, and in this case, not even that. Just my o2 on that car.
This video is suppose to be about about the shelby GT500 rip MR. Shelby, yet you have a Roush Stang sitting in front of you?
Good catch
Roush is made in Livonia. I live in Livonia lol pretty cool
Yeah, I was wondering about that...
If you notice, these videos almost never start with the actual car they're reviewing. I never understood that either...
Awesome all day long!
