[@enigmaPL]

It's just a prime example that we need to employ people in jobs/occupations that they love, instead of forcing people to work a job they hate just to get a paycheck. If everyone enjoyed their job, they would be happy to go to work. They would do better in that position than someone that doesn't care about it. And that goes for every industry. What we have in the world now, is people scattered into occupations they hate, and they end up doing that their whole lives. Wasting potential, wasting their talents, and making people miserable. Society has expanded too fast for us to do it properly. We should genuinely consider options to restructure the work force around the country/world if we want humanity to succeed.

[@GNXperimental]

Manuals will soon be a thing of the past. The few companies that still produce them for sports cars do it for the middle aged market.

[@poman1976]

You buy a car like this for the driving experience. An automatic is not an experience. I will not be buying one, and I'm a Ford guy who waited for this car. I will be purchasing a manual Dodge Challenger Redeye.

[@ConemantheBarbarian]

Matt Livo a dual clutch is better for lap times . And probably better developed for the torque this thing produces.

[@MrSlowestD16]

At the end: Jay: "Dave, I think you have the coolest job in the world" **says the guy who Ford delivered a pre-production GT500 + director to his front doorstep** lol. Such an awesome car, they really did a nice job with it. The Redeye hellcat is still dropping a fair bit more power, but there's probably like 700lbs weight difference between them so this may beat it out anyway...and the hellcat will never turn like this will, I reckon. Very cool stuff. Love it.

[@feke5987]

Well both are very different cars. Dodge is all about being crazy and always being the king at the quarter mile. Dodges are probably the purest muscle car experience you can still get. Mustangs and Camaros have gone more into the sports car territory (even if they were pony cars and not muscle cars) If you want to have fun the Redeye definitely gives you that. But the mustang is also a track car that still has muscle DNA.

[@jackhale371]

It's only 200-300 pounds lighter, BUT it has a dual clutch transmission. So its gonna be quite a bit quicker of the line. Also who knows! Maybe itll be quicker in the quarter mile and on the drag strip. We already know it will be alot better in the turns, like on a road course or whatever. But if it beats the hellcat and hellcat redeye on the road course, AND the drag strip then ill be really impressed. Blown away actually. That would be very impressive!

All of the buttons on the interior are all tiny and that car in particular is less than four feet tall. There was one car video I saw, I can't remember if it was from Gumbal, NM2255 or Bozzy but it showed the F1 next to other modern supercars and it almost looked like a toy car

I'm absolutely no doubt about it a stripe guy, and, if I was about to drop some cold hard cash on one of these(...may be just a weeee bit outta my price range at the moment...) and had to go through and check the boxes, I would probably end up going matte black stripes on black base - but, if two black ones were sitting side by side, one with stripes and one without... ...oh man, I just don't know... They just KILLED IT with the design and styling! It seems like when anyone does a 'wide body' for a high performance varient, they tend to exaggerate it or over emphasize it; but, this is just a very focused, cohesive design all the way around. Even the carbon fiber usage; carbon fiber can look as gawdy as swaths of chrome can, but, even with all exposed(clear coated) carbon wheels, it's just in all the 'right places' without just being scattered everywhere "...cuz high performance car and carbon fiber is high performance, so the door panels have to be all carbon fiber[even though we just put the carbon on top of a standard door panel so it doesn't actually save any weight...]"

[@Bruce.-Wayne]

It seems that the super snake (2013-) is been up in value lately....

[@feke5987]

Well I've seen black 350s even in person. And it does look great but its still not too different to having it in another color. For this though it turns into a different car in Black. Well it is true that any car looks good in black, the only problem is that it's hard to keep it clean. Well the stripes are quite an essential part of a Shelby but in this case I don't mind at all.

@@BasedNeptune He has a good point. Shelby name isn’t a joke. It’s already a huge insult that the Ford GT won against a Ferrari. It’s actually a insult and a embarrassment. The Shelby owns a lot of cars and the start price once the economy hopefully goes back to normal will be 72k. Which is a good price to beat a lot of cars.

I'd rather the base model have a stick and the 'carbon pack' wihout, just because the base isn't optimised for track in the same way, but that might increse the 'carbon pack' to $15k - 20k

[@ricksanchez4813]

I would normally agree but every other mustang comes standard with a stick. This was built to optimize the platform

[@mikestyles499]

I got to drive one of these on the 9th of Oct, around a racetrack with curves, (3 times) and straightaways. The power doesn’t seem to have an end, it just keeps accelerating! It was the most awesome driving experience I’ve ever had. My Sons got this for me for my birthday. Best birthday present ever. Also, Thanks to my driving coach “Fast Freddy” @ Extreme Experience! ***when it shifted from 6th to 7th at over a 100, the back end broke loose, fishtailed a little, and self-corrected!

[@ynwa8459]

I know this is an old comment but why did the back break loose at almost 100 mph??

[@abie1308]

When this generation of Mustang first came out, Dave (same dude as this video) bought over a prototype, and they would not Jay take it out due to it being non road legal.

[@Marauder252]

There is an episode with an old Porsche and the dude did not let Jay drive it, Jay sat in the passenger seat and looked upset. And the Pagani but that one Jay was OK with because Jay really respects Mr Pagani.

Great stuff! I got my 2020 GT500 9 months ago. Just started a page myself. I admire the work you guys do. Keep it up👍

[@bullcourage7119]

Dave is a car guy through and through! He was not only insanely technical on every aspect of the vehicle but he is really enjoying talking about this project. The story on Le Mans was truly one that is a script for Ford vs. Ford Le Mans! I can’t imagine how Dave felt hearing the story standing there while Edsel Ford is talking about not only a page out of his memory but actual Motorsport legend. To say we will do our very best to put the trophy in your hands must have felt a little overwhelming to say as well as a huge amount of stress. I would love to know what Edsel thought about what Dave said, did he think it was truly possible or just another very passionate Ford employee telling him what he would like to hear but in the pit of Edsel’s stomach knowing the extraordinary feat that must be achieved to make that commitment a reality. Jay, I didn’t like him as much as the host of the Tonight Show(I don’t like most of them btw)but I love him doing this show. I work in the automotive sector, I LOVE what I do and I have an extreme passion for it. I have worked in this field since 1998 and Jay’s knowledge on such a wide amount of vehicles makes me feel like i am in the first year of High School listening to a Professor who has a Doctorate in Automotive. Thank you Jay and thank you David! Brian

[@mgabrysSF]

Yup - I'm addicted to this channel because - most of the time Mr. Leno doesn't bring in PR folks but the designers and lead-techs from the carmakers.

[@RyTrapp0]

@@mgabrysSF Hell, I don't even think that it's Jay bringing them in at this point - rather I think some of these automakers got burned a couple times by sending PR guys to show off their new car; and Jay just ends up kinda embarrassing them with questions that 'your dad' would ask. Want to actually get a beneficial result out of putting your new car on Jay's show? Then you better bring someone that knows what the hell they're talking about! Now, with that said, Ford has always been good about sending the 'right' people - but that's easy enough to do when you have a high performance division called the "Special Vehicle Team", now 'Ford Performance' of course. I'm not always happy with some of Ford's decision making(...I mean, literally NO CARS for north America that aren't a Mustang or GT? Not even the Focus???), but they have ALWAYS done high performance vehicles right - and, unlike basically the rest of the industry, they're the only ones that see lap times as being secondary to the driving experience.
