2013 Shelby GT500 ownership experiences

[@Steve_Milo]

Very nice car. I bought my black 2013 GT500 3 weeks ago with 15,146 miles on it, and it's in pristine condition. I replaced the factory intake with a K&N, which required no tune, and got rid of the resonator so now the supercharger is gloriously loud. It made the exhaust a little louder too. Limo tinted all the windows and all the lights, I couldn't be happier.

[@JebitoJr]

Stephen Miloscia How much did you get it for? If you don't mind me asking?

[@woodyfive0]

Dave you got a voice for radio or tv anchor.... Nice car

[@davelittle1270]

Beautiful car. I have a 13 in Ingot Silver with the track pack. Only 5K miles when I picked her up. Totally agree about the tires throwing up rocks... especially when they are cold! Awesome car to have the good fortune to drive.

[@DJRBush12]

I'm in love with the sound of the exhaust

[@rickeybarnes6471]

If that was my car I would drive it more than 8,000 miles! I have a 2012 Boss 302 with 60,000 miles of fun and plan on putting another 100,000 miles if it holds up , So far so good, I can’t stop driving it even though I have an 03 Mach 1 , beautiful car !

[@fatsmile77]

Hey Dave!!' That's my dream car...so beautiful with authority. One day, it will be on my drive way...until then, I shall enjoy my 13 GT. Drive safe, and have fun!!

[@albertobadillo4367]

Sweet mother of god that exhaust

[@wickedvq491]

No suspension mods. A needed must on a high hp solid rear axle car

[@markwegner6100]

Thanks for sharing!

[@quattroquattro_6053]

I never understood why people buy bad ass cars and never drive them? It’s like having a girlfriend and not f**king her so the next guy can enjoy her. Idk maybe that’s only me 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@MrRaymo88]

Icy _ I came across a Jet Black used Dodge scatpack Challenger. A 2015 and it only had 2704 mi. I think the guy was scared probably to put miles on it. Not a scratch on it either. 😚 So much fun to drive yet they put no miles on them.🤔

[@gtperfection1596]

Great car the factory torque rating is actually underrated its more like 670 lb ft

[@BIGKAVE478]

beautiful!!!!!

[@dwaynelewis1496]

BIGBABYKAVE44 as always 😂😁😂👍👍👍👍lol

[@brianz39]

I'm Dave and thanks for watching

[@danpatterson8009]

That's a marvelous color. My '14 is the dark blue with stripes. At first I thought of getting black/black, but that's so overdone these days. I figured "let it look like what it is". What's this about keeping oil out of the supercharger?

[@packmanGB]

Just rolled over 10k on my 2014.

[@Frosty_coyote]

Ryan Burger nice color combo

[@stevenp3176]

Just need to update the control arms and perhaps a watts link and torque arm. Will tighten that rear up a lot.

[@alpha1k-]

Upper and lower control arms from bmr will transform the car i had them put on my 14’ 5.0 with a 1” drop ford racing k spring and adjustable struts. Made the car feel like it shoulda been from the factory.

[@KyleSVT]

Nice video! Great looking car

[@Thispersonsaysso]

Love the car....But the video is titled "Ownership Experiences" You just showed us your engine bay and what parts you've had fitted, then walked around the car. You only mentioned one thing and that's just saying it's a bit tail happy when accelerating. Not trying be negative or put a downer on your video, but would be much more helpful if you discussed what it's actually like to drive it around, how the car feels etc. I'm currently shopping for one of these and I'm looking for how the clutch is, the gears in these things are supposed to be a bit awkward to live with, how the bodywork hold up and how practical it is to live with etc.

[@5.0_life30]

I was hoping you’d show the interior but overall great vid and beautiful car.

[@kuriousgeorge6825]

Beautiful car! I might recommend some Hydraulic Hood Prop Rods if you ever show off the engine, or even if you dont. :)

[@transrus1]

Very nice !

[@BakirNinja2012]

8 k miles in 3 years wtf, I wish I was able to keep it that low

[@sylvesterstallone8637]

I just bought The same car except mine is eight 2014 and has 7000 miles on it and has the track and performance package and is the same color is this guys

[@sylvesterstallone8637]

Damn auto correct

[@maseratilife1316]

Nice ride. Great color for the car. Had a shelby prior to my Maserati made 817rwhp blew the motor on it and that was that. Regardless nice car.

[@paulrakis]

Hi nice video. Are you selling it? Beautiful car love the red

[@wadecaton4017]

Nice car. But unless you plan on selling it as a low mileage car, you need to drive it. I'm guessing it's not a daily driver.

[@arturov6789]

What are your complaints?

[@rpvilleneuve]

dave I love the car! I plan on trading my Lancer Evolution in on one in Feb/march of 2016. Has the car given you any mechanical issues?

[@davidharris2178]

ThePhantomEvoX I've had the driver's seatbelt replaced & truck release button on console was repaired. Both under warranty.

[@rpvilleneuve]

David Harris nice. I can't wait. I had an 04 cobra and loved it. unfortunately it got hit by a truck while parked and got totaled. its amazing how well the gt500 responds to mods. just intake and a tune will get you over 700whp. I hope to have my 2013 in just a few months!

[@ivanfedyshyn7211]

ThePhantomEvoX So you are saying with tune and intake people gain extra 130 wheel hp from 570 stock? o.O you want to say 700 hp at the crank maybe?

[@loublack222]

Ivan Fedyshyn tune intake and pulleys, and you can still retain your factory warranty

[@zodion8]

looking to buy one of these after i'm out of my job training for the army, just one question, how's the interior? does it have a plastic cheap feel to it? and are the seats comfortable for long drives? i noticed the steering wheel isn't exactly the best looking so i'm going to change that out if i end up getting one. might as well do smaller pulley to get some more power as well.

[@davidharris2178]

Greezy The torque/hp makes up for whatever is lacking interior-wise. That's why it was a $60K car new, give or take. The Recaros may not be best for long drives, but that's the performance seat option. Standard seats may be better for longer travels. I have no complaints about the interior.

[@Steve_Milo]

I had to drive my 2013 GT500 900 miles home after I bought it, it has the Recaro seats and I found them quite comfortable for a very long road trip. My previous 2013 premium GT was a little more comfortable, but not by much. I doubt you will have any issues with comfort.

[@BlackoutWS6]

Drive the car my guy!

[@dwaynelewis4432]

and that thing still looks bad ass mane much love to you homie. keep that bad boy beautiful brah.😁😀😂😀😋😋😊😊😋😍😘😗😗

[@Christophertruck]

I am buying a Blackout 2013 ShelbyGT500 I am gonna get a Ford 6 Speed Selectshift Automatic Transmission with Carbon Fiber Paddle Shifters, Carbon Fiber K&N Air Filter Grills Radiator Cover and Front Splitter since the Plastic One looks terrible, Morose Dry Sump Pump and Oil Seperator, and NOS by Holley Dry Spray Kit with 3 10 lb Bottles any ideas or advice for me Dave?

[@alexdavis2179]

freightliner pate not Dave, but there ONLY in manual,.. even if you did get a special one made to be automatic, still not the same. Just stick with a Camaro, they make automatic ones

[@jkiger47]

@@alexdavis2179 2013 Saleen. 5.8 Black Label over 700 HP, Rare Automatic but will be worth a ton down the road.

[@197grappler]

Should I trade my 2017 raptor in for a 13 gt500 ? Local dealership just got a used gt500 on there lot with 13k....?

[@davidharris2178]

197grappler I would wait until more details on the new ‘19 or ‘20 GT500 comes out.

[@anthonynoe8889]

Do it.. just do it.... DOOOOOOOO IIIITTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!

[@anthonynoe8889]

......do it

[@gearhead4005]

all performance cars need a hood vent like that. it's dumb they don't

[@shawcobra]

Question about the infotainment, do you have any problems with it, life the screen being sluggish when transitioning from different menu options?. I feel like in 3, 4 or five years down the line it would be beneficial not to have the navigation screen. would you agree?.

[@davidharris2178]

shawcobra The infotainment system has been fine - I've had no problems to date. I'm happy with it.

[@davidharris2178]

shawcobra I think if you eventually sell the car, it would be more desirable to somebody if it has the navigation/infotainment system.

[@stangtrax]

Haven't driven enough to say anything really. Drive the car, it's not like shares of stock that you just hold on to.

[@joddaley6510]

Super Charger is actually based off a TVS

[@Hummingbyrd99]

jod daley yeah a 2.3L TVS

[@crodrc51able]

Which is Eaton owned.

[@thastinger345]

you think those wheels are a PITA to clean, try the performance package wheels. Get rid of those shit tires and get the MPSS tires, you'll never look back

[@vernjr88]

Do you still own it? Can you give me an update? Possible for sale?

[@donv2892]

Hello Dave I purchased a 2013 Shelby GT500 about a year ago from a dealer, 2,000 miles on it, was in owners collection, car is nice, take it on short drives, but notice when running for a long period of time I can feel it is not idling smooth, any suggestions, Thank you

[@davidharris2178]

D V I'd imagine your car is still under the power train warranty from Ford. I'd take it straight to the dealer & have them check it out.

[@alexdavis2179]

D V You burning any oil?

[@davidharris2178]

Alex Davis no.

[@rickeybarnes6471]

D V yes drive it! A car that lacks motion tin to become sluggish,just like a person that lacks exercise tin to be out of shape , just saying!

[@sylvesterstallone8637]

Are you kidding me! The car has 66to horse power and you’re wondering why it doesn’t I don’t like a Cadillac. It’s because it’s a Shelby GT500

[@IAMTEAMFROZEN]

Hey David what do you go to be able to afford that beauty? Im 21 and make 50,000 per year do you think I could afford one?

[@AVPKING1]

Man I really want to know what job pays 27h to someone that young with zero to little experience on anything.

[@awolf81]

IAMTEAMFROZEN No you can’t afford one and you’d probably die if you got one.

[@jasonlommen4769]

No, you cannot afford one. As sweet as it would be to own a sports car. They are depreciating assets. Payments and Insurance would run you 1k/month alone. Work hard and save your $, buy one when you can actually afford it and not just want one.

[@AmericanBulldogRocky]

thanks dave, shes a beut

[@carwizard3672]

how does the reverse lockout work

[@davidharris2178]

The reverse gear is engaged by shifting far to the right & up. It takes a little effort to find your gears, but you feel more in control that way in my opinion.

[@davidneal1576]

Jacob to answer your question it has a speed sensor. If it sees any forward speed it will lock you out of Reverse. It's a 2 wire sensor that bolts into the passenger side of the T6060 transmission.

[@CptMalding]

So they put an IRS in the Termis.... but an SRA in these? Wtf is up with that. :/

[@stevenp3176]

MotorNation Different platform.

[@CptMalding]

@@stevenp3176 Yea. I understand that, but youd think for it being a top of the line model they'd have an IRS.... maybe it's just me though.

[@alpha1k-]

SRA is way better at handling high horsepower. I learned the hard way going from a 2014 5.0 that i got used to beating the shit out of to a 2017 corvette grand sport that exploded its rear end after a couple months of treating it like the SRA 5.0.

[@FranciscoLopez-xp5jv]

SRA could be tuned to be as far as competent as a IRS ir Even better, look at the NASA or American iron, all yields in how much money you want to spend

[@boydsmith2732]

I want 1968 shelby

[@obochobie8620]

I know you didn't pay cash for that thing. Those payments must be Un godly. Which is why I will probly never finance one

[@dynasty2295]

Any thoughts on selling and getting a '19? 😏

[@davidharris2178]

Dynasty 22 It’ll be a ‘20 GT500. I’m very interested in the new one, but need more info.

[@adamhonda98]

What motor is in there again 5.4, 5.8?

[@esco819]

The only mustang I will ever buy and I hate Ford

[@MrImabeast916]

looks like a 12 to me

[@davidharris2178]

chris lane It's a '13. Quick ways to tell is no grille up front, the quad exhaust tips w/tail lamps surrounded in black.
