196mph in Arizona from the new Shelby, another bad video by Motortrend

[thisisdog]

Gotta love the useless K&N dyno which they use for all their videos. Underrated every single car, and of course this Shelby only made 580RWHP... as opposed to the 609RWHP and 606RWHP previously achieved on differnt dynos. I bet it would make allot more power if they threw in a K&N filter though... would really wake it up on the K&N dyno

Anyways, here is another sub-par video by Motortrend.

Car only hits 196 mph "due to elevation and high air temperature".

A k&n filter might do that piece of **** some good

I love how these days it's "only" 580rwhp and "only" 196mph.

[ToucheTurtle]

What a huge piece of **** I bet the BRZ would have hit 300mph in the same conditions.

[SVTDanny]

BRZ ****s all over this car.

[bryangb]

And a GTI farts all over the BRZ

[BRealistic]

Impressive car.

But I am always a bit concerned by top speed runs in non race prepped production cars.
There is no safety cage in the case of a catastrophic failure.

(anybody remember the journalist that died many years ago in an AMG top speed run)

WTF is wrong with you guys? This is a 662 hp 200 mph beast. Just enjoy the sights and sounds.

Also, since when is it funny to bring up cars that cost half as much and make fun of how much slower they are?

Wassamatta Bryan? A Mustang driver steal your flat-bill cap? Get a stain on your skinniest pair of girl jeans? Step on your white plastic sunglasses? Scratch your favorite dubstep CD?
You have been trolling all the Mustang talk, and it's getting old.

"In terms of power deliver there is nothing that can match a supercharged v8"

And on topic.


The next time I get caught smoking the tires, I am just going to tell the cop "Sorry, I just needed to quickly put some heat in the tires."

Amazing car and performance. Will be very difficult to resist when the time comes.

Thats the funniest damn thing I have read all day. If I put peoples great posts in my sig, yours would win hands down. People described in said post is one reason I no longer go to meets.

[Wilhelm0075]

Sooooo much want

[mikes96GTI]

BTW, 196 would be fine with me.......

[The Kilted Yaksman]

I don't really see what the OP's issue is. Different dynos in different locales will give different numbers. And, even with a supercharger, hot thin air will reduce power. That ain't rocket surgery.

I know what I will want for xmas or as a retirement present one day. 196..... I can live with just those 196 mph.

[Aguilar]

Unlike the OP, I thought it was a good and thorough review. There's a lot of DIR with this car, from the visual aspect to the performance at this price point.

[thisisdog]

The car is good, its Motortrend that pisses me off.

♫ ♫ It was all a dream, I used to read Motor-trend magazine ♫ ♫

[DannyLo]

This car continues to impress me, seriously

Never thought I'd be saying that about a Ford, much less a Mustang but I think I it

[lip]

That thing is wicked. Very impressive.

LMFAO had to quote this.

[sforsancho]

I liked the video. Seemed fact-filled with no cheesiness or bias.

Anything with Randy Pobst

I love how these days it's "only" 580rwhp and "only" 196mph.

Because on the Internets if it doesn't have 1000 hp and can't break into the 9 second 1/4 mile then it is slow. The numbers are impressive for a factory car.

[r2kool4u]

Is it me, or does the GT500 sound almost exactly like Steve McQueen Bullit??

[TetsuoShima]

Randy rules

[B3sat16v]

I love it!
