I hate the Shelby GT500 - All flaws revealed!

This the type of dude who probably complain about to toilet not right when he take a dump man it's a sports car not a luxury car if you want something fancy don't buy a super car

Well sell it to me. I’ll take it off your hands lol.

Beautiful car regardless

Yes to much money and very simple

Great video, your absolute correct, but that’s Ford for you. Some things have to be overlooked. I just love driving this beast.

So the new mustangs are suppose to have cool and heated Recaros so I wonder if they will be electric?

If you hate it so bad, then I'll be happy to take it off your hands 😀

I have a 13 gt500 with manual Recaros. It's a terrible seat for the set up. I had a ctsv with fully auto Recaro. They were awesome. So I bought my 21 gt500 with the regular mustang seats and they're much better. Heated cooled mostly automatic. Much better.

The stupid parking brake lever is in the wrong place. My hand resting on it makes it come on. Just a terrible place to put it next to the circle gear selector. . Again that circle nob is terrible feature. Cheap as hell looking. Hate those Recaros on any drive over 2 hours. I’m thin and nobody slightly over weight will fit. It’s not a $100K car IMO. It’s just a over weight pig compared to other cars.

It’s a cheap rental car with a big engine and trans.

Getting the carbon fiber package is a stupid move. People buy these cars and suddenly think they’re race car drivers and experts.

Just because it says, “Track Package” doesn’t mean it’s a race car.

The Race Seats are exactly that. They’re not comfy or good.. Just a fancy name for the guys who wear racing gloves when they drive GT500’s. You bought this car and sat in it… Now you don’t like the seat options? That’s on you man.

Also, they’re $75k and $85k cars, the dealers mark them way up.

With all the cosmetic stuff you “hate” why did you buy it??? You went with it.

Was this a used car? Looks like it’s been messed with by someone who has no clue or business messing with this car.

Taking this GT500 to the track isn’t a good move. It’s going to cause problems, regardless of the car. Its not a race car, even though it can be taken to the track. Wrong car for constant track use.

Throwing carbon fiber on a GT500 doesn’t make it a legit race car. Should have went with the base model, not the “fake track” car. All your complaints are from track use and abuse.

Carbon fiber hoods are garbage.. They’re not going to hold up at constant high speeds on a track, etc. That’s why a lot of professionals who do buy these for the track replace the carbon fiber hoods.

Since you hate it you should sell it now! Flip this and make some money or at least get your money back. The market will change soon. Negativity and depreciation is in future for used car market.

Le jayega bhai uttha ke tumko.

I too hate the manual Recaros so I stayed with stock seats and went with the tech package. I had the Recaros on my GT350R. I also hate the front wheel inset. However, I have NO squeaks, rattles or body panel misalignment. I too hate that the mustangs have no pull down for rear trunk (boot).
You didnt mention my no.1 hate about the GT500.... I hate, I hate the transmission selector knob- P R N D. The DC transmission is great, but the spinning knob selector is terrible... I have the same stupid knobs on my Mach E GT PE...

Wrap up: Hate gone once u drive.
Hate manual seat on a Track car ✔
Hate front width due to camber ✔
Hate closing boot from side 😒 ✔
Hate Dash board humming noise✔
Hate car build quality ✔
Keeps hating base car while reviewing CF car.
Sell it or Send it! Don't own it & Hate it.

Nice videos sir keep it up

I would rather have a modded 2012 gt500 and $60000 in my bank account.

Nice car ! The reason the front tires aren't flush with the fenders is because it has negative camber for handling. I did notice the spider webs hovering above the passenger side floor board, do you not let your friends ride ? start enjoying your very special performance car.

Man maybe you should buy a honda odyssey it had power seats and a rear tailgate handle. It also comes with front wheels flush with fenders. Im a zl1 owner and my 1le seats are inferior to the gt500 seats. No harness provisions and weigh over 45lbs a seat. I removed them and installed race buckets. Again the Honda
Dealership is awaiting
Your call.

Idiots with money 😡 !! Buy a mercedes c400 !!

Dude doesn't deserve such a beauty lol

The recaros save weight being non powered.

The front wheels are inside because of air flow

I'm struggling to put food on the table an this none car guy complains about his 120k mustang

The gt500 is terrible, I can't believe you wasted your money. What the hell is wrong with you? Did you just fall of the turnip truck?

If thats the worst of it sounds to me like the new gt500 is a great car.

That car you're complaining about beat a Lamborghini Huracan around the lightning lap and matched a GT3RS on a comparison lap. I understand your gripes though. The good news is that it's just a mustang....and no one expected to even see something this good
by Ford. Enjoy it!

I totally agree with you. I have the same problem with my convertible GT. Luckily I have the power heated and cooled Ford buckets.

Can you adjust the struts so the trunk will not open all the way. Maybe just 95% to minimize the paint damage ?

Come on guy it’s a Ford what would anyone expect more 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

only dumb people come up with such complaints. they have no idea what they are buying, nor do they truly understand what certain vehicles are, what they are achieving in a real world situation. The GT500 is basically a homogenate race car. It actually has more power than most race cars but unlike actual race cars its stuffed with road car components which brings on weight and many other complexities. more over, the GT500 is starting off life as a common mustang, designed to serve tasks far short of that of a a race car. but its been beefed up to such a degree that it can compete with vehicles far beyond its price range. and that point is very important, because its the very core of what makes it what it is good and bad. A mustang is one of the worlds top selling cars. Its never gone out of production which few marques can attest to. And yet its a car with many flaws. but what people fail to realize is how it all relates to its success and its longevity. The flaws of the mustang is what gives the car its character. while other companies strive for engineering perfection, they inevitably strip their vehicles of character. they become sterile, lacking mood and emotion, ultimately great performance and quality but lacking a soul. while mustangs have flaws, but as such are obtainable price wise, alowing the owner to elevate them via aftermarket products. its a great starting point onto something far better, which is the business of Shelby and Saleen and Roush and Steeda , all companies that understand the potential of the humble Mustang. And the Lastest Ford Shelby factory efforts decided to take it to the next level themselves. But your also dealing with a mass produced vehicle so their will be compromises. when all is said and done. A mustang is never ment to be perfect but you will find few vehicles that you will reflect own owning when they are no longer in your possession.

ok I mean no disrespect at all, and I understand some of the disappointments you have, But your literally nit picking on the stupidest things about the car, a trunk handle?? seriously man? Your comparing a family car basically that has a trunk handle, to a race car? I get you spent 100k, but look at some other cars, porche, austin martin, and a few others sold cars that where basically race cars for the street were near gutted, had nothing and costs way more over the regular model. It's damn near a track car for the street, look at the old cobra R's they had nothing at all, no radio, ac, bare bones race car for the street and people loved that car. I'm sorry, but those things your picking at are kind of stupid. I hardly ever at all comment on things, but this was a bit of a joke. It's a bada** car, drive it and enjoy it, don't worry about the stupid crap like a trunk handle.

man, i tried but your mic input is way too loud. work on that, nice car and videos otherwise.

I appreciate your honest reviews I honestly rather have basic leather seats with heat and ac tho honestly I really want the Shelby America ones because they look 🥵😍 but never the less late this year I'm buying fasure

Dangg automatic?

Just GIVE it to me

I stopped the video after he complained about the "fully manual" adjustable seats.

The Passenger side Door does effect Aerodynamics. The main thing about GT500 that bothers me is the only AutoTragic Transmission, the No 3rd Pedal 6 Speed Manual Transmission. Is Why I would never buy one, the GT500 Lacks the Gear Lever and the Rip it Hand Break. Ford Failed on what could have beedn an Awesome Car. Next Year will be looking to buy a Mach1 with the 3rd Pedal 6 Speed Manual Transmission 👦🏻👍🏻🏎🏁 great video, and thanks for pointing it's flaws

Mustangs are for the poor. Doesn’t matter what type. Straight trash. Go get a corvette.

I honestly wish I could take my view back from this video. Honestly this is type of person that shouldn't own a shelby. Guys its a track car, they cut weight of the car. If you wanted a luxury car you shouldn't have bought a CFTP.

Then go back to camel’s

I have never seen anybody close a trunk like that haha. That's just you bud.

I think the wheels are tucked in because that's the "cobra feature" you know like a cobra snake only expands the hood on its back when it's threatened and ready to strike, so in the same way this car has the snake emblem so the tires only pop out to a wide stance when you start cornering at high speeds or you can do this manually in your track mode settings under wheel stance.
I'm just kidding I made that up🤣😂👍🏿 it's sounds good though, and any car makers who all of a sudden come out with this new option I'm suing you for idea theft💯 you heard it from me first😁

You didn’t know or think of these complaints before buying it lol 🤦🏻‍♂️. It’s a race car and meant to be raced on a track. It’s meant to be stripped down with not a lot of extras. If it’s not needed for a race, it doesn’t need to be in the car! Even the seats, leather is nice, but cloth weighs less also. It’s a nice car, enjoy it rather than complain about it lol 😂

If you don’t like it give me the car

Trying to compete w super cars?! Lol… it definitely competes and surpasses most of them.

the reason the recaros don't have power or heat/cool is because the CFTP is meant to be a track car for the most part, that's why it has no rear seat...all about weight saving. I was actually surprised that they didn't have the radio delete like they did on the gt350r...it's more about weight saving over cost cutting...power could definitely have been an option but in their minds, most people are tracking these cars

to solve your trunk opening issue, steeda makes a trunk pop kit for these cars so when you hit the trunk button, it opens all the way on its own

love the content so far...subbed

we'll hav e to get together when I move out to Texas

Its a mustang and the GT500 is a carryover of old road racing days. It was never meant to be a high end luxury car. And most of your complaints would be apparent before ever buying the car.

It's a 305 up front and 315 in rear and that's why the front is tucked. Put a wider tire up front and BAM!

how about the one time use caliper bolts
