I need to point out a few things... In this video I'm not referring to my Super Snake, I'm referring to the 2013-2014 GT500. These are 6 reasons why I believe the last generation GT500 was better.

[@mattbudesa3038]

No disrespect, but you haven't even driven the new shelby yet. On paper the new car is gonna out perform the previous gen in every way other then the manual transmission.

[@terpynews5458]

@@mattbudesa3038 yes and ford shunned there customer base with a Auto trans lol. This is what happens when corporate takes over snd they dont have Shelby around to help

[@mattbudesa3038]

@@terpynews5458 Yeah, they made a huge mistake by not offering a manual option. I get the idea that they wanna be more competitive with the Europeans and make a more capable track car as opposed to drag queen like the previous gen. That and broaden the market for the car. At the end of the day purists dont care about track times so we'll see if it back fires on Ford or not.

[@stevenp3176]

Noah Ontiveros May be due to warranty reasons. I want to say the latest tremec is rated at 700ft lbs. Some of this rating will change based on vehicle weight of course. Notice dodge has a manual trans in their 717hp car but not their 797 car. Plus it gets harder and harder to make a clutch that both holds and allows enough slip for easy drivability. It may be as simple for the reasons I outlined. Though if I were a betting man I would predict the tq on the new GT500 to be less than 700ft lb of tq. It also may be as simple as the manual didn’t like shifting at 7500+ this engine in theory should be maxing at.

I own a 14 GT500. I'm also 67 years old. I'm impressed so far by the 2020 and I hope it does well. But I'll stick with the 14 because of the retro styling, live axle, and stick. From what I've read, 13-14s are only a few mods away from 700 RWHP and they are handicapped by the 3.31 axle. I'll never mod it but it's fun to think about. Plus I got the car new in the showroom and discounted to $53k. It had been sitting in the Ford showroom for 6 months. Anyway, due to price, the 2020 is going to be compared to the new C8. Good luck with that.

[@johnandrus3901]

I put a 3.73 in my Terminator. It makes a bigger difference than you would think. I always thought that they should have used the 3.73 in the GT500 and just changed the sixth gear in the transmission for better highway cruising gas mileage. Either way, the '13-'14 GT500's are bad ass cars.

I think the DCT in the 2020 Shelby is a great idea, it opens the market a lot for customers who can't drive a 6 speed. Having said that, I would still rather have a true 6MT transmission. The 13/14 GT500 is more of a enthusiast driver car, the 2020 is going to be like the GTR or the demon, anyone will be able to go fast in it, it's idiot proof...and I'm saying that with all due respect lol

[@gtmike916]

I can see your reasons but definitely opinion based. I would counter that the 2020 is better. #1 Is the independent rear suspension which makes it better on public roads and surfaces that are not in stellar condition. #2 is Magnetic Ride suspension, as you get a smooth and amazingly handling ride that only the top performance cars can outdo. #3 is the DCT, sure the manual may have the same 0-60, but what about the 0-100, or 0-150? DCT is the fastest shifting transmission design in the market, so performance wise it’s no slouch and will run more consistently. #4 It has more horsepower out of the factory. The 2013-14 had 662 this 2020 has 720 or more. The 2013-14 is definitely more overall value, but the New one has a setup id much rather have in a Mustang. This is my opinion of course.

[@ny4life021]

GT Mike91 Horsepower to weight ratio will be damn near close to the same, so unfortunately the added horse doesn’t mean much when the car was 700 more Lbs.

[@gtmike916]

Nick Roselle ?? Where did you get the 700 lbs?? At most the leaked spreadsheets would indicate 4228. That’s only 350-380 more, but the car also has a DCT and Magnetic Ride along with an independent rear suspension. The only reason the 13-14 matches the 0-60 is a long ass 1st gear. The 0-100 and 0-150 will definitely be in the 2020 GT500’s favor. 0-60 isn’t a good measure of performance.

[@johnandrus3901]

The 662 hp was the top dog back in 13-14. I'm sure that Ford could have gotten another 60-70 hp out of it had they needed to, especially if Dodge or Chevy had upped the ante. Dump the crappy Eaton and go with a KB or Whipple and tweak the tune. I'm sure that the DCT will make the new car accelerate pretty quickly, but once you are at a certain speed, you are in your top gear, so I doubt that the DCT will out accelerate the manual after 100 mph +. It certainly won't make a difference for your top speed. At a certain point, power, weight and aero will take over. I do agree with you about the independent suspension. My Cobras handle and ride better than my '12 on bumpy roads. A performance car needs the independent rear end. Ford did a really good job sorting out the stick axle, though and it isn't too bad.

[@gtmike916]

John Andrus I do agree about the numbers in 13-14 although the hellcat did come out with 707 the year afterwards in 15. Still aftermarket wise the GT500 is better as of now. I just like DCTs better for the overall response though.

[@johnandrus3901]

@@gtmike916 Very true. The manual Hellcat, if you can find one, isn't as quick or fast as the Shelby, a factor of the 650 or so pounds of extra bulk. The DCT will be great for the track, I'm sure. I just wish that Ford would offer the choice of a manual or the 10 speed auto in the base car.

[@braddfordy]

also the carbon fiber package is the one with the aero package. the base level will not produce the same amount of downforce.

[@iPvP_TV]

[@praiseman310]

There will be allot of opinions both ways. For me; it's ok to love them both for different reasons. Your points are reasonable. I own a previous generation myself. They could tweak the 2020 offering to a manual and dropping some weight; which would appeal to more buyers like me. I think they will end up doing that, but who knows when. True; they will have no trouble selling the new ones. I personally prefer staying true to the roots of Carrol Shelby's tradition. I guess it's like chocolate and vanilla ice cream; which one do you like best. I do prefer the larger block, manual tranny, and top speed. I do like the wider body and hood ventilation (heat extraction) on the 2020. Magna ride suspension is new technology and is a huge improvement for handling and safety. I would like to see a focus the GT350R as a track beast and the GT500 as a street beast. I had suspected to see two versions of the GT500 as they have the GT350. There is things I like about the new one and the old one's. Just more Shelby to LOVE! I would like to see what it would look like w/ Flat Plane Crank technology in the larger block engines. I gather blowers don't work well with FPC. These are my opinions; I know, everybody has one.

@@darkliquid6388 two of the Mustangs were V6's (a white base and a black premium) and the third was a black GT premium. All 3 were 6 Speeds. Here's the story, I bought the white V6 base brand new in Aug 2013, after a year, I traded up to the black GT premium in Aug 2014, because I saw what the S550 was going to look like and didn't like it. I kept that car for 2 1/2 years til my fiance made me trade down to a fucking Scion tC so I could get a lower car payment. Had the tC for a year and sold it, went without a car for a few months. When I needed a car again, I picked up a 2015 Civic Si in March 2018. Kept it until last November when the black V6 premium Mustang showed up for sale at my fiances dealership. It was a win win, technically traded down for it and got a lower payment to boot. Finally, came into some money recently and wanted a V8 again. There were no reliable 6 Speed S197 GT's available, so it was between a Camaro SS or ZL1 and the Challenger R/T Scat Pack for me (since the regular R/T is only as fast as a 3.7 Mustang).

[@erickquinones1095]

Yeah about that dealer mark up.... Shelby America charges over 40k to do the super snake swap on the 13/14 GT500. Thats pretty expensive for a blower swap, cooling upgrade, mufflers, hood, wheels and brakes upgrades oh and new badges. Plus they want to keep your pull off parts. So that 65k 2013 GT500 becomes a 100k plus....if you go with the super snake. Also the the baseline GT500 makes 662hp not over a 1000hp....the super snake only makes 850hp....you have to pay even more for the Shelby 1000 which makes over 1000hp which is near useless being that the standard GT500 has a hard time putting the power down in first gear.

I have a 14 Gt 500. It kicks ass on a track with a Watts link and Carbotech pads. Unfortunately it's faster than most 350Rs' on a track. Yes, with turns. The Trinity engine bottom end is built by Mahle Germany. It stays together in the extreme conditions i put it through. One of my buddies with a 350 just had Ford replace his entire block due to excessive oil consumption. 4 quarts on track day alone. Will the 13/14 be better than a 2020. If the 2020 engine stays together on a track. Probably better. 2020 500 brakes are better for sure. DCT will be cool, but takes the driver further from participating in the good lap times.

[@BB-pg5kl]

Overall there is no way the 2014 is better than the 2020. However, I personally would take the 2014 based on the fact that it's a manual, and I love the feeling of cruising in a manual. I'm not out there to tear up the drag strip, or the road course. The latter being what the 2020 was built for. Instead I'd like to cruise and build it to hit a low 10/ high 9 in the 1/4 which wouldn't take much with the 2014 to accomplish.

[@frankie072]

As far as markup goes ,Honestly,if the consumer stopped paying these ridiculous markups ,it wouldnt happen,because every car marked up would be sitting at that dealership until it was reduced to a minimum of msrp.(and I've never even paid msrp) I dont care what it is,either I get it for a fair price ,or I wait and I will get it for a very good price...And yep,I wont have it first,but I when I get mine,the person who paid stupid money will owe right around what I just paid,if not much more

[@rustybeatty6567]

The GT500 makes over 700 horsepower with a 7 speed DCT we all know this but stop to consider the rear gear setup will be a 3.73 final drive ratio because of that it will be faster off the line without giving up that much top speed. For example say you two cars with the same 6 speed manual or automatic transmission the engine horsepower is 750 and torque is at 650 and the only difference is one is a 3.73 final drive ratio and the other is a 3.10 final drive ratio the one with the 3.73 will be off the line faster and maybe even beat the one with the 3.10.

Well the Demon has no chance against my supersnake or my gt500 sorry haters and speed phenom supersnake will definitely kick a Demons ass and before anyone comments you better own any of these 3 cars because if you don't you don't have a clue what the supersnake or my gt500 is capable of doing period

2020 is out.....13/14 is a beast......I'm biased but I think the 13/14 looks better and it's a hell of a performer at far less cost than the 2020.

[@rayox1765]

Both have their Own value and specs, I mean lets not make a competition between Cars which they are In a same company(Ford) And if you interested in manual that much will, Its not the last mustang with Manual Transmission next years coming a lot of cars its ok with an Auto with 700+ horsepower its just the beggining

[@blakebiggs1065]

No need to choose. The 2013-14 GT500 had an SC 5.8 Modular, Live Rear Axle, and 662hp with a 6sp manual in an older chassis and design. The 2020 GT500 has an SC 5.2, Independent Rear Suspension, Magnetic Ride, and 720hp with a DCT in a newer chassis and design. Appeciate both for what they are and aren’t. Buy whichever, both, or neither.

[@freedomfighter5054]

With the new automatic in the GT500 you’ll never beat it and the shift car

[@bubbaturtle]

Only reason the engine is bigger is because of the supercharger adding displacement. Doesn't mean it can handle more... I still agree the 14 is better cuz manual.

[@kurdish.7ama144]

The 2014 super snake was the true shelby American. I wish I would go back to 2014 and buy me one brand new super snake. A couple days ago I bought 2019 a balck shelby gt350 R im still happy because my car has shelby name on it.

[@rustybeatty6567]

A DCT transmission is a manual transmission only that the clutch is electronically controlled and not done by a foot petal and shifting is done the same way electronically shifted and not done with a shifter nob connected to the transmission when driving in manual mode and it has a automated mode which the cars computer does all the work for you witch is grate for in town and city and even on the highways especially in rush hour traffic and when in gridlock traffic when hardly nobody moving. So basically it’s a automated manual transmission. Honda has used DCT transmissions for a number of years now on about a third of their motorcycle lineup rumor has it that all of their motorcycle’s over 225cc might have it as a optional transmission within the next decade or so.

[@brandonsims167]

He said the 13/14 GT500 has 1000hp but I thought it had 662. I'm not a Mustang fanatic but I am a general fan. And I want to learn the differences. Does the GT500 have different packages? I even heard that the Super Snake and GT500 were separate Mustangs. Help please lol. Because I've seen the *S550 Super Snake (not a GT500) being reviewed on another channel. Yet I'm hearing Shelby GT500 Super Snake as one name.

[@johnandrus3901]

Same car. The GT500 is taken to Shelby American and transformed into the Super Snake. I believe that he was just mentioning the hp numbers that Shelby gets from the Trinity motor. Otherwise, his comparisons were between the stock GT500 and what has been revealed so far about the new GT500. Some are subjective, like looks and interior. We'll see how the objective numbers come out and how the new one actually performs in the hopefully not too distant future.

[@brandonsims167]

@@johnandrus3901 Okay 👌🏼. Now my other question is, I seen a 2019 Shelby Super Snake on another car channel being reviewed. Was that mustang formally a GT that was modded by Shelby American? Because clearly it wasn't a GT500.

[@johnandrus3901]

@@brandonsims167 I believe so. You can take your GT to Shelby American and they will turn it into a Super Snake. It doesn't have to be a GT500.

[@brandonsims167]

@@johnandrus3901 Now I'm understanding. I may have a few more questions now. 1st is, Is the Cobra a different name for Super Snake or just a different model? 2nd question is, does the GT500 without the Super Snake modhave the Cobra badge?

How in the Hell are they making a GT500 without a manual?????

[@FirebirdCamaro1220]

Exactly, it was bad enough when Ferrari and Lamborghini discontinued their final 6 Speed models after 2011.....

[@jeremymckinney2269]

Ok......so, let's get one fact out in the open. the 2020 GT500 is a complete evolution of the nameplate; meaning it's built using the most up-to-date performance hardware. I love 6MT's as much as the next person but the new GT500 is built to perform on the world stage. Most high end performance cars are using dual-clutch transmission for the performance gains they bring to the table....it's not a true automatic like people think it is. Think DSG for Audi or PDK for Porsche......both are lightning quick when shifting up or down and provide a level of consistency you can't get from a manual. Most GT500 purist are stuck in the mindset that it should be just a straight-line performer....that's no longer a viable trend for selling a car like this. Look at what Chevy did with the ZL-1, they created the 1LE packages for that car just to basically embarrass German and Italian sports cars-Ford wasn't even on their radar with that car. Same thing with the GT350 and GT350R....those were built to kill BMW M3/M4's, Cadillac ATS-V's, Audi RS5's, C63 AMG's and other two-door GT coupes. And BTW.....that 5.2L Voodoo engine probably has just as much tuning potential as the Trinity 5.8L.....maybe more.......

[@ronaldreagan388]

The 2020 shelby, is looking way better that on its own. And it's not out yet. You cant judge it 100% plus compare to a 2014

Don't let anyone here u say that older gt500 better then the new gt500 specially considering that the car isn't even out yet and it has been in development for about 5-4 years the car is a monster it's way lower and smaller and it has more airdynamics its gonna legit fly

[@KlipschHead281]

I find it funny people are all negative over a car they haven't driven yet. The new GT500 will kick the 13/14 GT500's ass (not talking about the SuperSnake) just going by the numbers shown so far. I love the 13/14 GT500 but everything about the new one is better and when somebody drives one they'll prove this. I also think they kept the "base" GT500 up in the container is because its possible there is a stick in it, who knows? Nobody does so assuming everything does nothing and saying the S197 platform is better is pure ignorance of the current platform. I've owned both and there is no comparison between the two. I love the S197 and the GT500's from 2007 through 2014, lets see how the new GT500 fares before making assumptions, except where it's obvious of course and by the numbers, the previous gen is simply out gunned in every way

[@rickydrone9274]

Agree with you 100% and my opinion is an auto in an American "hot rod" is blasphemy. Your car is absolutely awesome !!! I am a retired senior and always dreamed after retirement, attaining a car like yours. But, as my life progressed, I realize now it will never happen due to financial restraints. My first hot rod in high school was a 1968 Ford- Torino GT. It was just like your 500 and was black on black. The cool thing was it did not have the long fastback rear end and was more standard looking like a Fairlane. Ever since then, I have always been a loyal Ford customer. So, after you make your first millions as succesful KZbinr, and move on to better vehicles, I would gladly take your Shelby as it's new caretaker. Wow!!!, my old timer dreams would come true and life would be complete, and be like an enthusiastic teen again. Keep up the great work and informative videos.
