What a great representative to have. There are a lot of “company” guys who try talk about cars, who know only what they read on the flight over. This guy knew what he was talking about, great job! Position well deserved 🇺🇸.

[@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.

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!

Looks great in all black

[@RyTrapp0]

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...]"

[@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.

I feel like the US is entering a new automotive golden age, much like the muscle era of the late 50's - 60's. More heritage in car designs, better handling and ever increasing WHP. For the longest time, with very few exceptions, I wouldn't touch a US built car unless it was built before 1975, that has changed in a big way. Keep up the good work.

[@NakedChicken69]

We entered the new automotive golden age when the ls1 happened, every American performance car after that was held to that standard. The ford 5.0, 5.2, 5.4 are all incredible. Chevy has been cranking out ls engines from 350 hp all the way up to 640 hp and the lts range from 475-755 hp. Dodge makes the 6.4 hemi and 6.2 hellcat anywhere from 475-840 hp.

[@wellcraft2136]

Get the GT/CS and a bag of chips. At half the price its twice as fun! The 500 is just the GT on steroids. Don't get me wrong, 760HP is mind-twisting, but honestly, how often can you really enjoy it! 460 horses everyday will keep you young and in the cooler less often. :)

[@Volcomej1]

Mmm idk I’m sure some people will use the car on tracks and stuff but I get what you mean but some people want stuff like that just to brag about it lol. Like I have a car that makes just under 400 from my but dyno and to me I couldn’t imagine having any more then that lol

[@wellcraft2136]

​@@Volcomej1 No doubt some are track fans, but as you noted, for the rest of us in the real world, 400-500 HP is a real thrill and it's there everyday, not just on track day. :) I have the MB CLK55 AMG, 100% stock, 364 HP, 375 Lbs/Torque and it is an absolute riot to drive. Years ago I had a '68 Mustang GT Fastback, 302 CI, HO, 275 HP, 95% stock...the stories I could tell you!! Now I'm considering to sell the MB and get the 2020 Mustang GT/CS Premium -- that will keep me happy for quite a while. :)

Wellcraft I would if I could like high hp or not I love the way the new mustang looks and the sound too. But I have a 2004 dodge neon srt4 that was built by the last owner. I never dyno’d it but I’ve been in 400hp cars often so I know it’s around that area.

[@wellcraft2136]

@@Volcomej1 That's great Shawn, I'm certain that 400 or so HP in a Neon is a heck of a thrill! I'm too practical and still kicking it around, $45k is a lotta cash for the occasional blood pressure alert! The 2004 CLK is long paid for and bought it in 2008 for a steal - one fourth of the $92k MSRP for a total stock and lighting-fast convertible. I'll probably wait a year or two for a 2020 GT/CS Premium, just can't escape the Mustang appeal.

[@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.
