2014 Shelby GT500 | Top Speed Test

I prefer this one over the new GT500. In fact this is my second favorite generation of Mustangs.

A lot of tuned mustangs in Florida between palm beach dyno and lund racing. Both are the top Mustang tuners in the US. They will definitely find one for a top speed run with no limiter. They also can make a 2020 pull up to 8200rpm

[@petrolhead8851]

They are not top mustangs in the U.S ..they’re just known because of KZbin...I know plenty of bad ass mustang dedicated tuner shops..in my area there was “B&DRacing” but he retired last year! There’s also “wild pony motorsports” “shrader performance” “kurgan motorsports” There’s “livernoise performance” “lethal performance” “fathouse performance” etc.... all bad ass mustang tuners! If anything I only started hearing about palm beach dyno like a year ago when they introduced the new gt500...and the guy is only famous because he was one of the first to start tuning the 2020 gt500’s on KZbin...and Lund only got famous because it was the KZbin mustang tuner shop to go to

[@carculturenation2166]

@@petrolhead8851 when it comes to actual tuning of the computer. A lot of those companies get there tunes from either Lund or PBSd. They all work together. And neither one of them gave 2 craps about youtube. PBD and Lund were the best way before they started showing up on youtube. It's just you hear about them on youtube because everyone wants the best. So they are going to have one or the other. Midnight performance holds a lot of records and they are lund. Lund was the first 2020 gt500 in the 8s and palm beach dyno was the second. Iconic gt500 is now the record holder and he is regular customer that gets tuned by palm beach dyno. So 2 gt500s and only those 2 tuners ha e done it. Iconic is not a youtuber. Yes he throws a video up here and there. But he is far from a actual youtuber. He has stuff on his car from lethal performance and works with them. But they dont tune his car. Now david van voris. He held the 7s gen 3 coyote record. Garage built car 1200hp then soon to make y2000hp its lund tuned. Stock sealed coyotes in the 7s with a tune from one of those companies. With out a good tuner you would be blowing up in the mid 8s. Mustang lifestyle and stangmode both use lethal performance stuff and both get tuned by palm beach dyno. I've seen guys with fathouse stuff go get tuned one or the other. Check any forum. If you ask for the best it will say one or the other.

[@Troubleshooter125]

You are NOT alone!

[@sergioferrero46]

Me too, but I'm afraid gear ratios are designed to offer maximum acceleration with the cost of a not-so-high top speed. Besides, that car has a lot of downforce to overcome... PS: Heavily disappointed with this one. I know there's been many tests that support the fact that it can't reach 200 mph as stated, but I really expected more than 190 mph...

[@carculturenation2166]

@@sergioferrero46 yeah that is what they were made for is low end power for the race trAck. But the video they had seemed like it could’ve kept going and shmee150 took his to the top speed as well. With no limiter/govern I think it would keep going for awhile past 180mph. Plus tuners have been able to get them to rev to 8200rpm which would give it more rpm to go. So all that extra rpM and no limiter. 😎 Palm Beach Dyno and Lund racing are both in Florida and both were able to get 1250hp and a 1/4 mile in the 8s out of factory sealed engines factory transmissions factory ported blowers and even factory fuel systems. If they could do that with cars that can still handle than I’m sure they would gladly pull the limiter off a gt500 and or just give them a1300hp gt500 to run the top speed.

That car will reach 183 in just 1 mile, something not adding up,ive seen it reach 183 completely stock in the texas mile pretty consistently.also he was short shifting, he short shifted 4th gear, 4th stretches to 173mph, he shifted to 5th gear at 160 which is way too soon, definitely played a role in the way the car was pulling on the top end.

[@CBRuRedE1]

Not many were produced, but I would love to see what a Shelby GT 1000 could achieve on these grounds. I've seen Dyno runs, revs and half throttle sends leaving car shows. But never full send footage of that car. And I couldn't think of a more appropriate location than this. If the production model Shelby can reach that speed. I'd bet my last dollar the GT 1000 would reach 210 or better.

how did motortrend do 196 in 90 plus degree heat and altitude? they said it would have gone 200 if it were cooler or they had more road.

[@burgerbandit3646]

Theres a ton of factors that play into it. These different locations are probably different heights above sea level which also plays a part.

[@JohnnyGT2000]

Were they using the factory speedo to record the speed?, if so that would explain some of it and the gearing as well, were both cars using the same rear diff's? We are at sea level so that wouldn't be a factor. Quite often many tests from other entities are"fluffed up" and we see heartbreaking results at times when everything is controlled @ JBPG. Thanks for the comment, JB

[@vafan13]

@@JohnnyGT2000 Did MotorTrend use the dash speedo in their top speed run? No. They're in Kingman, AZ (3300ft) using what looks like a vbox with a stock car, so I'd assume the rear gears were the same as well.

Being under 10ft above sea level, elevation certainly is not the issue here. It’s almost as though he shifted from 4th to 6th with how little (and slowly) it accelerated beyond 153mph. Perhaps the cross wind may have been a factor? 🤔 Either way, I expected a better result.

Acceleration was slow I'm lower gears too. The 60-130 time was around 9-10 seconds, a Mustang GT is 10.7. This GT500 should be in the mid to low 8's 60-130.

I just know because my dad has a 1972 Gran Torino with a 2011 gt500 engine and we researched at the time because he was going with a automatic in it. He ended up with a tci 6x which allows for lower rpm at higher speeds. It’s called project breathless Gran Torino. There is a article about it if you google the car in the Standard RPM. His is the supercharged 5.4L and essentially the 5.8L in the 13 -14 is the same almost. But the 13s have hit the 200mph 0-60 3.5 this 14 on this video is only supposed to do 190mph and 0-60 in 2.9 some articles have said. But I don’t picture that. Usually you can’t get 0-60 that low without being a mid engine car. That’s why they made the corvette mid engine. They knew they would never get that 0-60 any faster after the zr1. Or awd. Fastest mustang 0-60 from factory is going to be the Mustang Mach E GT performance 😂
