Every Race We Did in Our Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 | Mustang vs. The World

[@edmundscars]

Our GT500 might not have taken every race win, but it definitely stole our hearts. Ford better have something really special in mind if it plans on replacing one of the best muscle cars ever made. Leave us a comment about what you'd like to see.

[@thatfordguy2268]

There was a press release not to long ago and it clearly stated that Ford has no plan whatsoever to ever do away with the Mustang and the V8 engine. They will continue to build both.😎

[@ShaneRobinson1996]

In my opinion it would have been a little more fair to throw a wayy better tire like a MT ET street or a Toyo r888 on the Shelby for those awd or rear mourn engine races!!

[@carculturenation2166]

my dad just passed away Friday June 21sr and he loved these matches being a ford guy. He has a 72 Ford Gran Torino with the supercharged 5.4L shelby gt500 engine called project breathless. Checked it out its an amazing car that he actually pulled apart to make better at his passing. I would love to find someone that would put it together for our family to continue to spread awareness of pulmonary fibrosis which he caught fro. oils he was working with at a factory he worked at. he had the car since he was 17 and I always wanted to see his new dream of it come true.

[@richardwalther6229]

I like how they switch drivers between races, in order to prove that the driver doesn’t matter. Race 2 is always the same result. Also impressed that Hagerty stopped filming long enough to let Edmunds shoot some videos at Willow Springs.

[@chriscotton4207]

Actually they switch drivers because one of them is a better driver and it's noticeable. The results on race one and two are never the same as the distance is typically either bigger or smaller depending on the results of the first race. But yes the track is simple enough that even with that the car typically beats the better driver.

[@2URLex]

There’s a clear difference in driver skill in these videos

[@joshgessinger4509]

Im a chevy guy own a gen 6 camaro but i still like the mustangs. Specially the GT 500 if i could own them all the GT 500 would be one of the cars at top of my list. The Z06 won the race here but it should. GT 500 held its own definitely a awesome car. With a little aftermarket work the GT 500 really comes to life for the money definitely one of the best cars out there.

[@georgedavidov5250]

GT500 is really not a dig/launch car. Most things take it off the line. On the highway or any roll on speeds it’s literally a super car killer. Absolute weapon. Mine hooks up from 1st gear doing a 20-40mph roll no problem (live in a warm climate). 60 roll is where it really shines.
