[@MYTOYMAKERZ]

First I want to say how much better in my opinion your videos have become. You sound much more professional and yet a very down to earth person. I usually don’t comment very often but I felt like giving you a well deserved “Thumbs Up”. Plus its obvious I am not the only one that feels this way by the amount of subscribers you have gained with many more to come in your future. I really appreciate how your picking out out something’s between these 2 fantastic Mustangs and voicing your opinion. I have quite a bit older having owned my share of Mustangs my first being a 2 year old 1965 - 66 Mustang with its 289 cubic inch 271 HP HO 4 speed. Would you give your opinion as a track racer in your opinion the handling difference between the solid rear axle verses the new independent rear axle assembly of the GT500 on the track? I started using Corvettes within the last 4 years but previously I had used Mustangs and I obsoletely loved them and now my ZR1 Corvette. But it’s not about brand to myself having worked for both the Ford Motor Company and Chevy’s Corvette Division. Just put me in any car on a road course and I am happy. Thank You and continue with your very informative videos, Cheers P.S. I look forward to your next comparison video.

[@SpeedPhenom]

Thank you so much for the very kind words. I am really happy that you like the content! Also, thank you for being so supportive as well.. I think it's awesome that you have a ZR1! I'm a major fan! Regarding the two GT500s on track, they feel SO different. The new GT500 is the better track car by far. It feels smoother, more advanced, more confidence inspiring, and easier to drive fast with the DCT. The S197 GT500 is still a lot of fun, but it's not as in tune. It's more raw!

[@MySledgeHammer]

Very nice comment and yes your so right about everything you said plus his channel is getting so much better. Thanks

[@DVRKSTXR]

2014 Shelby GT500: Meaner, more aggressive 2020 Shelby GT500: Sleeker, and more refined Personally, I’d choose the 2020 GT500 just because it has a more modern and sophisticated aesthetic about it, while still managing to one up its predecessor in certain ways with its aggressiveness (i.e. grills, headlights, front splitter, spoiler etc). However, the 13/14 GT’s just SCREAM American muscle car. 💯

[@SrtChargerOldMan]

I like the 2014 super snake when I was in high school 1970 I had a 1969 Shelby GT 350 maybe that’s why I like the 2014

[@jeffersonhenn1086]

Hi, love your videos!!! Quick question, I've got a line on a new 2020 GT500 and since you've owned one, along with many other high-end vehicles, should i buy the GT500, or something else? The reason i ask is because of the DCT transmission... Thanks!!

[@RaceGasSmellsGood]

I'm going S197 all day! May not be the better all-around car, but the older GT500s are just raw, unrefined and wicked! Thanks for more killer content!

[@newfinishautospa]

The grille air restriction isn’t to target air into the center. They are there to limit air entering to increase aerodynamics for fuel efficiency and drag reduction.

[@EdwardRooney]

How well do the Shelby GT500 & Super Snakes hold their value?? Considering the new 992 Porsche & LC500 as well..

[@burgerbandit3646]

Very well actually. I believe the 13-14 GT500 first came out for around $60,000. A lot of them you'll find still go for anywhere around $40k to $55k depending on the mileage.

[@everydaylifewithme5260]

[@asdf51501]

Hey Austin, if you had a choice and a budget for only one of these, would you get a new GT500 or a new Super Snake Widebody from Shelby American (with all the upgrades)?

[@SpeedPhenom]

If I were on a budget, I'd try to find a good deal on a 2020 GT500 as I believe they would be the most affordable. After owning one, I must say I'm very happy with it and I think it's well worth it! Hoping to drive a new Super Snake in the near future so that I can share what it's like!

[@drdoll1]

I love both cars, but I prefer the '20 front end, hood, front fenders, air intake, etc.; but I like the less tapered rear end of the Supersnake that makes it look more aggressive and substantial (to me anyway). I love the looks of both motors, but that crazy carbon fiber everywhere in the Supersnake looks amazing! I also love the aero all of the way around the '20. It makes the car look like a supercar in my opinion. All of the modern upgrades in the new car is really nice - reminds me of a fighter jet cockpit, but I really like the gauges on the driver's side A pillar in the Supersnake.

[@Rockdaground]

[@ShelbyCorGT500]

I know you have a 2020 GT500 .... if you had a choice between a 2018 GT350 or 2014 GT500 what’s your thoughts. I’m asking because I have an opportunity for either car.

[@SpeedPhenom]

If you want the car that makes you feel special as a driver. The GT350 is the one to get. The noises, the lightness, the engagement, the motor, it's amazing. It's a confidence inspiring car. However, the 2014 GT500 in comparison is a BEAST. It's more of a street machine. You learn to tame it. To simply put, it's raw and fast. Plus, it gives the old school vibe!

[@ShelbyCorGT500]

Thanks for your feed back I really appreciate it.

[@Humbler32]

[@machman1164]

"Dodge still says their demon is the most powerful v8 production car" *Shelby:you serious?

[@barbcoleman7681]

The 2014 Shelby GT500 Super Snake produced 850 horsepower, the standard Shelby GT500 was rated at 662 horsepower. The 2014 Super Snake was said to be capable of running 10.6s or quicker at a drag strip stock. I prefer the 2014 because it is a manual and has less computerized components. I think Dual Clutch Transmissions are for more exotic vehicles than potential everyday pony cars.

[@clintonsaville9934]

Great detail comparison... Tech has a way of dividing the lines between both cars none of which you say you wouldn't own either. The earlier model and a stick shift in the right hands is totally fucking killer.. new tech and being fast as hell pita it to the ground and up and down fast but the Trinity and the stick with that killer classic look is superb in the right hands... I hate the Rev limit noise because you can't shift it fast enough... That's key... Both are hands down impressive..!. Me I love Trinity... Either way tho very impressive cars!! You can't lose if you are fortunate to own either!

2014 Super Snake is my favourite muscle car. 2014 version looks so Awesome 🔥🔥🔥! I wish Ford and Shelby American would make a Super Snake with the same design and look, only with new specs in the coming years.

[@smoke-on-thetires7922]

The 2014 you have right there is my favorite car in the world. O-60 in 3.4 seconds and top speed of 212 with looks to kill. I do like what they have done for the new gt500 but I prefer the retro mustang look. Myself I think I’d have it in the dark blue with black stripes or if I could paint it I would give it the new grabber lime from the 2020.

I gotta start by saying i never really been a ford guy but the car guy in me says i love these mustangs!!

[@jeremythevirushuang6303]

Old snake looks way better. 2014 GT500 looks much meaner. I’d take the 2014 over 2020... why? It has 6 speed manual. The new 2020 shifter takes away the fun but I understand with 750+ hp you need both hands on the wheel. Cold start, the 2014 sounds better too.

[@ashleyelliott0616]

I would prefer the GT350 white with blue stripes. I really like the technology that comes with newer Mustangs but I prefer a manual.

Once the tuners can get into the TCM and raise the rev limiter the new GT500 should be able to hit 200mph when they swap the rear gear
