Been mulling over whether or not to trade in my GT350. I've come to the conclusion that I should keep the 350 and wait a year or two then get the 500. The insane markup should be over by then and I'll get to have both.

I called Freehold New Jersey Dodge today for the 10 th Time and they said Hundreds of RedEye's are sitting in Detroit waiting to be delivered to Dealers across the US !

I was told, Shortage of Tractor Trailer Drivers that have to transport these cars ! I'm going to have to wait possibly into mid Feb ! Anyway, I know the feeling, I was so tempted to cancel the order because All the Rumors about Dodge coming out with a New Generation of Performance Cars by 2020-2021 . One rumor was a 2 Door 1000 HP Charger Hellephant and a New updated generation Challenger and Charger, So I'm like losing sleep debating if i should wait ?? I decided to just bite the Bullet and order the Redeye even if they do come with new generation of Muscle cars in the next few years ! I was even tempted to Check out the new Shelby GT500 at the International Auto Show in New York this year. Like buying a TV Set, Always a better one comes out after you bought the latest one ? LOL Good luck Dude !!!

[@gjtt]

@@rayrocco2978 I don't think you can go wrong with the RedEye. 2021 is a ways away and you could always trade up if needed. The GT500 will likely get a large markup and really is in same ballpark with other cars in the segment, just a bit more power but for a premium price. My ZL1 will come in mid Feb as well so it seems that's the normal course due to holidays and transport like you said. Good things come to those who wait :)

I agree it'll be a challenge and not quite sure this gt500 will pull it off right out of the box. At least in drag racing, when it comes to the corners no question the Ford takes it.

Why complain over a car you cant afford pal??😂

Relax, with enough yelling Ford may release a manual.

Justin you are the best video commentator in motor sports! Good job buddy.

[@americanmuscle]

You are too kind J. Thank you! -Justin

[@MrYELLOW94GT]

No Manual= not interested

[@plebtile3347]

Are you also not interested in the GT cause it has a V6 in it?

[@frankcastle1578]

You probably couldn't afford it either pal

[@MrYELLOW94GT]

J Rod May be you right 👍🏼

Shelby American = you Pinhead

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Really surprised to see it doesnt have the vents in the front fenders like the GT350 cars?? Does this mean it has close to stock 15-17 fenders? Does that mean you can fit that beautiful front apron to your stock 5.0???

[@shanefowler9443]

No manual, no deal.

[@theredjalopy3884]

I'm currently stashing cash away for the 13-14 GT500. I would get this one, but if I'm getting a SHELBY, for me personally it has to be a manual transmission car. Time will tell if ford does what Carroll did back in the day, and offer both transmissions to appease the entirety of their customers. Great and insightful video as always guys.

[@Laviathan50]

If you look on the S/C "Built By" nameplate, it Looks like someone named Carrie Butt was one of the ppl that built the GT500 motor in the video

[@davidharris2178]

Great video & information

Excellent information, great work guys, love from Australia.( And proud new owner of a 2019 Mustang.)

Thanks Buzz- appreciate the love from 'Down Under' -Justin

Man that blue paint job is gorgeous

[@fraserhenderson7839]

Thanks, Justin. Great work! Liked and subbed. That seems like all they're going to say for now but it's looking pretty good so far. I expect to see these on the street here in Vancouver soon after they hit the market. It seems people here are very interested in supercars. McLarens, Lamborghinis, and Porche GT3s just seem ordinary. This car seems much more down to earth. It's very stylish but not at all outlandish. It looks like it's got the right stuff but it doesn't have to flaunt it. It's very cool! There are dozens of GT350s here already. It seems likely some more heavy trading is going to happen at local Ford dealers when they have one of these in their showroom. Questions: Will it be built by Ford or by a contractor? How many will be built and how fast? How short will it stop? Will there be buyer selection by Ford as in the GT? Who will drive it at the Nurburgring and will it do better than the ZL11LE? How many radiators does it have? How much dealer markup will the market stand? and a hundred more...

[@americanmuscle]

Thanks Fraser! Now as far as some of your questions are concerned- the car will be made by Ford and not a contractor. No word on the number of cars that will be produced and for how long. No word on braking distance. No buyer application necessary here but you can bet on a hefty ADM from dealers. I believe the car has 5 total different coolers. I wouldn't hold my breath on a 'Ring time- Ford doesn't seem to disclose their figures much. Thanks again! -Justin

[@fernandocardenas3382]

Watching from Detroit! Awesome video Justin, loving this thing!!

[@k1ng617]

Wow. The sound!

[@malik16th]

Can always count on AM for a beast video🔥💯

[@400hpmustang]

Never could afford one but slightly used single owner GT 350's are everywhere. All the best for those who get one. What's up with the dial selector, no stick, not a fan, jmo.

[@bigmac51fifty]

Love from Brunei! I love the GT500 and it could get better w the 2018 style front headlamps with the existing front end amd fenders, ruby red is definitely one of the best colors for it!

[@SVTPerformance]

Thanks for the shout-out.

[@americanmuscle]

Thanks for the info! -Justin

[@sixpest]

it looks so good. im just happy 2018's mistake (the front lights) are back to 2017 style.

[@54SCV8]

Few problems: 1.Wonder how quick the clutches are going to wear out in this thing. 2.Also they should have done a ZR1 style hood with a cut out to accommodate a standard supercharger. 3. What happened to "Vemon kills demons" 11 secs ain't gonna get it. It's nice but not as hyped as I once was. I will stick with 2011 GT500.

[@americanmuscle]

I think that 'Venom Kills Demons' thiing was said in haste. When talking to a reputable Ford source LAST year at the tease of the Shelby he told me they were shooting for more power than a Hellcat but less than the Demon. -Justin

[@CrayonboxAviationAdventures]

Thanks for the look around this beast. Are they available internationally and RHD? Horse power is obviously >700 but

[@budbowen9743]

I really like the wider stance of the front end, not a huge fan of the CF Spoiler, but overall the car looks mean. Love the Performance Blue........well done FORD

[@PsychosisPC05]

Welcome to my world of 2015 Ram Bighorn truck with the dial shifter. I'm fairly impressed by the car.

[@showenough]

Good lookin car! Would look even better parked next to the tri-yellow yote in my garage! Great content as always!

[@brockfehr4178]

Looks great!! Can't wait to here more about power and weight numbers. My dad and I have been waiting for this, both disappointed that it doesn't have a manual, but Ford has to do what they have to do. Anyways, keep on rocking car guys!
