Shelby GT500 Delivery & Test Drive ( 2013 Shelby GT500 ) Ford Mustang

[@Garcansdad]

The GT 500 has been my dream car since 1968 when I saw a GT 500KR in the showroom. I made that dream come true in 2014 when I bought mine in Ruby Red with white stripes. The performance is amazing.

[@rhampton1914]

Wow,,,,that is awesome Garcansdad.....i can't imagine the feeling everytime you get in that Car in Drive....i Certainly have that similar feeling when i'm driving my GT...even tho it's not as fast..lol....do you have yours uploaded on the Tube? love to see it

[@Garcansdad]

Check my channel. I've got a car collection. Your GT has an advantage over the GT 500. You have independent rear suspension and the handling is better in your car. True, the GT 500 is a straight line racer but the newer Mustangs are track cars. They have the suspension improvements. I was looking at an '18 GT in Royal Crimson with the performance pack. The dealer is feeling me out to see if I'll actually buy it. We'll see. Thanks for the comment.

I got my 2013 GT500 out of state also (Ohio) in late 2015. Purchased from a dealer who advertised it on eBay. I think there were at least 25 pics and a short video. It had 8K. The previous owner was 70 years old. He traded it in for a Ford Raptor. I'll go out on a limb here and say that I think he was trying to find his youth again. My dream Shelby was a 1967/68 GT500 but with a purchase price north of 100K, my wife would divorce me on the spot. We moved to Germany in 2017 and I had to have it here, perfect Autobahn car!

[@rhampton1914]

That's awesome Peter thanks for sharing that. I must say the torque on this car is just absolutely incredible. I personally been looking at the new 2020 GT500 particularly the automatic why I would love to get my hands on one of those.

[@PistolPC007]

The 2020's look really nice. If we were still in the US I would have taken the car to Shelby in Las Vegas and done the Supersnake conversion, not just for the extra HP but the handling package. I have a good German friend here who purchased a 1968 427 in red. He got in Florida. It's funny he has cowboy boots and a BIG Texas belt buckle. He works for TomTom and he is always going to the US and just about every time he goes, he goes to Shelby America. Our next car will be the new E Mustang, so we will have that, my Shelby and my 2018 Focus RS. During the winters I park the Shelby and use the AWD Focus RS, love that little car.

[@v-grooves8531]

Hi Peter. I had the shipping on my GT500, the one in the video free as part of the deal, but would have been around $1000. Chicago to Clearwater, FL. I am pretty sure he had some room to move, but I still got a great price with a car that had such low miles. Even back then it was hard to find one with such low miles. I took great care of it and it always won a trophy (Best In Class) and the shows I would go to. Everything was original except for a super small mode on the induction area. Hope you find you dream car. There's nothing like it when you have the baddest car in town... you know.... nobody can beat you, even with their nitrous kits. You just need good boots to get all that power to the ground. Otherwise, it will just spin the tires.... even in 3rd gear. If you have any questions, LMK and I will do my best to answer them. Vince

[@PistolPC007]

Now that my Shelby is in Germany it is the perfect autobahn car. The only bad thing (some people will say it's a good thing) is that I usually drive, on average, between 120-150 MPH on the autobahn in the fast lane. The roads are so smooth that you can safely sustain high speeds and there are rules that everyone follows. Technically the left lane should be used as a "passing" lane unless you keep up the speed. The rule is (and it works 99% of the time) that if you are driving in the unlimited lane and someone is coming up fast, you move over until they pass. You have to be aware that if one car passes you there will be 1, 2 or more autos close by. You must pay attention because the guy coming will not slow down until they are 1 meter or less off your rear bumper and they will stay there until you move! When I am in the mood I will move over and let the car pass, then I get back in the unlimited lane and repeat the process to them. I know, it's a testosterone thing. I don't do that much anymore as I know most cars have speed limiters on their autos. When I do pass them, they try and keep up thinking that I have a limiter too. Once I prove my point the I have one of the fastest cars on the autobahn, I will move over and wait a few minutes until they pass me again. Most people will smile or give you then thumbs up. For those of you who are wondering, I've had the car over 200 MPH but not for sustained periods. Most autobahns have some sort of road maintenance going on, so speeds drop to 80 KPM to 120KM. I must say it is still concerning when I pass the polizei on the autobahn.

[@v-grooves8531]

So cool to see the interest in my Shelby.....My buddy Reggie the cam man can take all the credit for the fine camera skills.

[@rhampton1914]

V - Grooves Thanks for the reply...this car is unbelievably fast..I absolutely love....Wanna take a ride in it again.....We should do another Video...5 things you love about the car and 5 things you Dislike....if any...lol.....Let's get together soon Buddy....

[@diddy2666]

Men idk what it is but the engine on shelbys gets me excited. This is my dream car and it gets me excited just hearing it

[@rhampton1914]

Tell me about it,.,,,i agree....my dream car as well....it's incredibly fast...Can't even Floor it cause of the amount of Torque it has...

[@diddy2666]

rhampton1914 lmaoo!

[@v-grooves8531]

Life is different around the house nowadays. Like when my wife wants me to run out to the store to pick something up, I am totally fine getting up and going. Another chance to push on the pedal....and it gets me excited too! The pizza guy wonders what happened. I told him no more delivery, I got a GT500. He gets it.

[@WhaddupImJohn]

V - Grooves are you trolling or are you really the owner

[@v-grooves8531]

I am the owner.....really don't like wasting my time online. Anything I can answer about the car? I offered someone else here a ride, but I think he was just a kid throwing around some buzz-words.

[@travishinton4755]

i found mt '13 last year with 1300miles on it. it's a beast and i still modded it!!!!!

[@rhampton1914]

That's great mileage. what was the condition and why why why are you modding..LOL...it's very hard to keep traction for sure..Can't even floor this car on normal street driving....it's too Jerky and too much torque for a 600+ HP car..i can't imagine Modding any more...

[@wastedwagesmercuryman6018]

Got mine with 15 fully loaded! Older couple had his and hers but it was as too much for her, she traded it for a 350. Only issue was she thrashed the splitter on a parking curb

[@Kriscoyote]

What i love about the 13 14s is the 5.8 trinity. 665 hp to the crank. My friends 2011 gt500 has a kenne bell and has 665rwhp lol. So much power to make on the 5.8

[@rhampton1914]

Imagine putting a Tune on this Car..OMG....Can barely Floor the Car has so much Torque....Anyone who owns this Car betttaaaa have good Tires...LOL...Thanks for watching...

[@BlahBlah-ps2uc]

kris hauenstein you can’t even spell omg 😂😂😂 hopefully trump deports you

[@v-grooves8531]

Lighten up.....it is an ass kickin car and I am lucky to own it, but that doesn't put me above someone else. All the people I meet at car shows and the track are pretty cool and friendly to me. Let's talk about the cars here and save the name calling for face-to-face.

[@rhampton1914]

Thanks Vince for commenting...Sorry for the Negative comments, let's try and be positive....we all mustang lovers...i just got my 2016 GT about 3 months ago and i absolutely love it....i wish i had 600 + HP ...my goodness,,,i would be outta control hehe........be safe guys

[@BlahBlah-ps2uc]

kris hauenstein no he’s gonna deport u

[@cobramanphil]

Nice purchase...you'll never forget that first drive home. What surprised me about my car was how it was geared. Sixth gear and you will be barely pulling any rpm at highway speeds....

[@v-grooves8531]

6th. gear at around 1000 rpm and I am doing about 62 mph & around 19 mpg. Major overdrive gear there. But, if you want to pass someone, you don't need to downshift, you just push a lil harder on the pedal and the car moves. I am lucky Reggie got some nice video of me picking up my car. He really is a great guy and helped me out many times......and his video skills a pretty good to.

[@mustangsquad3029]

I love this car it's my dream car

[@v-grooves8531]

Mine too. I am a lucky guy to have this car. I waited quite a while to find the right opportunity and have the funds to purchase this car.

[@christianbeevers4937]

Good for him on getting his car. I love people getting a sports car of their dreams good luck and great car!

[@rhampton1914]

Christian Beevers ... Thanks for your comment Christian appreciate it a lot of fun that car too much torque Ford put into this car LOL it will definitely hurt your back if you have a bad back

[@dylanthusing6211]

Really cool video man!!

[@rhampton1914]

Thank you very much. Very very fast car I have another video that I never uploaded I might consider uploading it just a little burnout in little skits thanks for watching preciate it

[@thatcoolmuf1]

I wish your friend would have got the Shelby GT500 Super Snake now that thing is a pure monster

[@rhampton1914]

Thanks for your visit and comment...That would have been nice..i agree...i must say tho that after you start getting into the 600HP +...You become sorta accustomed to that power so anything beyond that is not tooo much noticeable...compared to a 300HP and 600HP which is night and day in every which way...lol

[@v-grooves8531]

I am Reggies buddy Vince who filmed my car. It really is a pure monster, but in reality it is almost impossible to put that extra power to the ground on the Super Snake. Even with my 662 HP + 630 '#s of torque and drag radials, the tires would still break free depending on different situations, which gear I was in, RPMs and so on. I could also gain over 115 hp and 120 lb-ft of torque with a simple pulley swap to get the supercharger spinner faster creating more boost (16.8 psi). So yeah, its always cool to be the king of the road, but when you can't really use it unless you drop some big slicks on the back, its not practical. The car for me was about pulling up to a red light next to a hot vette, camaro or Ferrari and showing them what Carroll Shelby had in mind. :).

[@overheadcam32]

Picked up a 2014 last week. 4000 miles on it. All stock

[@rhampton1914]

Wow that's Rare to still find a 14 with that Low Miles...This is great news...How is the condition of the Vehicle...That's some super Low Mileage...

[@overheadcam32]

She’s showroom condition. Like nobody has ever sat in her. Thanks

[@kevinowens6681]

Beautiful car

[@charleschiasson8091]

What’s the color looks mintt

[@myvalium1]

Charles Chiasson looks like Deep Impact Blue

[@jayyoung5423]

Hey boss, if you want the full experience you have to drive one...I have a 14..…..as a passenger you can't feel the pedal input....it's intoxicating trust me.

[@v-grooves8531]

I let him drive it, but he was cool about it and did not slam into it. Cause he knows there will be a next time, and then when he is more comfortable with the car, he can stand on it. He is a cool guy and in my opinion a very good driver, so I was OK handing him the keys.

[@jayyoung5423]

V - Grooves You are a good friend. Only one person has ever driven my car and he he takes his vintage 911 out on Watkins Glen...trust is key, peace and sweet color on your ride.

[@subzr0360]

How does one get a car shipped from another state? Is like stupid pricey? Cause all the cars i want with low miles are no where near me.

[@cobra20500]

Mitch got style!!!

[@rhampton1914]

Sure does....My dream car....i'm going for the new 2018 Shelby...Hope i get good trade in value for my GT

[@AVPKING1]

Had any issues in the long run? From what concerns me if that for a super low mileage car that had been sitting for so long can bring up bad problems.

[@v-grooves8531]

It did not sit. It ran almost every day where there was no rain. I am disabled and cannot drive long distances so that is why the mileage was so low. I agree, the worst thing you can do to an engine is let it sit.... it's the kiss of death in my opinion. And I am not the type to just go into the garage and start it up, get my micro-fiber towel to remove the spec of dust off the hood and close the garage door until next month. I ran it the car wanted to be ran and it would see redline and everything in between.

[@mrharden11]

Love it, i have a white one

[@rhampton1914]

It a Treasure indeed...i wish i had one. i have the 2016 GT Mustang Automatic. I like it..Wanna get the new Shelby GT350

[@rhampton1914]

Do you have a YT Vid? i seen some White GT500's on the Tube...

[@v-grooves8531]

Reggie's car is quite a respectable car. His Mustang represents some of the old-school looks combined with sleek, clean body lines. Imagine if they had something like his car back in 69 or 70.

[@mustangsquad3029]

631 pound feet of torque

[@rhampton1914]

Tell me about it...i love the Torque on this Car...Incredible...

[@mrharden11]

Waiting for the 2018-19 Shelby or bullitt

[@rhampton1914]

That should be a real treat. i wanna trade in my 16 GT for the new 18 Shelby...Probably can't afford it..LOL....so expensive...

[@scottsiebert76]

I know that bridge...mny times going across at over 150mph on a bike! 727 for life! Nice GT500 btw!

[@v-grooves8531]

Thanks Scott. Getting used to the car now and pushing it a lil more each day.....Maybe we will line up somewhere to flex our muscle from light to light. Life is good.

[@Kriscoyote]

And in kona blue it looks like

[@Jhoodemcee]

kris hauenstein its deep impact blue!

[@v-grooves8531]

Yup...sure is.

[@naasty636]

I swear I just saw this car for sale recently, was it not fast enough?

[@rhampton1914]

Back Problems...unfortunate health issues forced a sale...

[@naasty636]

I pretty sure I just bought it. Does he have the other wheels that were on the for sale add still?

[@rhampton1914]

You bought Vince's Car? he said he gave the wheels away to the buyer. I believe the buyer was local...Brandon or Bradenton,,,something like that...When did you buy Vince's Car and congratulations...

[@naasty636]

Last week, from a dealer. They told me they bought it from another dealer. I saw it for sale privately but was gone when I was getting the funds together. It has the foods whhels on it now. Was hoping to get the others if possible

[@naasty636]

I will text Vince, maybe he can get me the info of where it went.

[@juanricaud2142]

How much was that bad boy??

[@rhampton1914]

I believe he paid almost $40,000 for it with 2900 Miles..That's pretty good for a 2013 and we just got it a week or 2 ago...Looked almost new...The Pull is the Strong point in this Car. It's fast like any other Car with a SuperCharger but the Pull is a very Dominating factor with this Car

[@valtron8416]

rhampton1914 that's an amazing deal lol

[@SD_Confidential]

rhampton1914 $40,000 has to be the cheapest clean title 13-14 Shelby in the states! With low miles to boot! Congrats to you and your friend on your new rides.

[@isaiahmartinez5620]

rhampton1914 damn thats a really good deal

[@v-grooves8531]

I Paid 48000 for the vehicle. It had 2900 miles on the OD. Money well spent.

[@DUCATI-]

2017 💔😞

[@rparker75]

Pretty sure Vince deleted my comments, still sure he wrapped the shelby around a tree.

[@rhampton1914]

lol,,,Not yet..In fact i drove it yesterday...other than the Speed i must say it drives quite comfortably.....Very smooth and the power is there when you need it...

[@v-grooves8531]

I have no way of deleting your posts, and if I did, I probably would not....I would just let you show off your immaturity and lack of class. BTW, I am planning on buying another Shelby to run at the track and keep the one I have all stock, as an investment.

[@jeffreybosley12boz]

Throw a Paxton or whipple supercharger on your car and u will be faster than that GT500

[@rhampton1914]

I hear ya..that would be Awesome Jeff..i probably would be looking @ 600-700 HP Depending...but his Tranny, Suspension and other factors come into play...That GT500 is a State of the Art Machine...lol....i probably would need a good $10,000 to match the quality of that car...

[@mustangsquad3029]

any chance i could get a shout-out in one of your vids i just started my channel and i need a little boost

[@rhampton1914]

Hey buddy,,sorry for the late response. I need to check out your Vids...Love that Red Mustang in your Photo

[@harlequincarter4550]

ft500 lol

[@v-grooves8531]

I caught that too....maybe it is an F-150 with a 5.8 aluminum motor in it?

[@BlahBlah-ps2uc]

That sucks no nav

[@v-grooves8531]

I just go to places I already know how to get there....problem solved.

[@v-grooves8531]

My head usually doesn't have the time to look at an LCD screen, I barely glance at the boost guage or the fuel/air reading.

[@BlahBlah-ps2uc]

V - Grooves no the point is it looks better with nav looks more expensive

[@v-grooves8531]

You are right there.....I feel lame when I show up to a car show with my GT500 and everyone around me has nav. Shoulda stayed on the porch.

[@Shiftnlift]

Blah Blah a 50 to 60 thousand dollar shelby looking more expensive because of a 400 dollar screen yea ok

[@djmarco589]

Nice!!

[@rhampton1914]

Marco Gamberi Thanks buddy...lots of speed

[@rhampton1914]

Thanks Marco....Always a pleasure...i enjoyed your Recent Music as well...nice studio you have there...
