We Drag Race A New and Classic Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 To See What 50 Years Of Progress Makes!

( www.TFLcar.com ) The Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 is the most iconic high performance mustang. The new one, with a 5.2L supercharged V8 will do zero to sixty in 3.3 seconds and the quarter mile in the 10 second range. In this episode we compare it to a 1967 Ford Shelby Mustang in a good old school drag race comparison!

Divine Wrath One is subjective as many people find new cars like the Ferrari and Aston models to look better than anything else made in the last 30 years. The second is something that tends to appeal to those who want to be seen rather than enjoy a great drive. I will take better performance over sound any day. A mid range Honda is faster than a muscle car from the 1960s with all its sound and looks. My 911S has a great sound and super car performance by the standards of a decade ago. It’s safer and more comfortable than old muscle cars not to mention being a great everyday car that you can track. Only an insane person would drive an old muscle car in the winter.

true. the driver pretty much admits he doesn't especially know what he's doing, and the guy instructing him basically says " just keep the gas pedal firmly to the floor and release the brake at the light".

[@out2launch]

Yep, I had one as well in early 70's. Raced it with my 67 coupe (289) mustang and beat the Shelby so bad, the kid traded me for the 67 coupe, after I offered him $200 in cash as an incentive:-) I figured it worked to about $1100 cash and trade in 1973 with 40K original miles. After some work on the clutch, shifter and carbs, we raced again against my 67 coupe (which ran the 1/4 in 12.9 at Orange County Racetrack) and he only beat me by one car length, and that was all due to traction. My 67 coupe was like a cat, would literally jump off the line, the Shelby was tricky due to all that torque and not big enough or good enough tires. That 67 Shelby to this day was one of my favorite cars, loved working on those dual carbs and that massive motor. Plus the roll bar, aluminum dash and Shelby trimmings were pretty cool.

I'm an automotive technician at a ford dealership. The engineer WAS over complicating things only because of how many steps in setting up launch control. The burnout can be done by anyone who knows how to do it, just disable traction control with the press of a button. The launch control is a track app that helps drivers that dont know anything about racing launch the car correctly. Any driver with experience wouldn't need to use the feature. Theres a lot of technology stuffed into these cars and it really is a lot of fun to play with, especially the active exhaust 👌 loud when you want it loud and fairly quiet when you want it quiet and all of these apps and features are available on the regular mustang GT since 2019.

I bought the car in Wisconsin and drove it 1100 miles home. It was easily the most fun on-the-road drive I've ever experienced. I can attest to how difficult it was to change the plugs too. I had a buddy that had small arms and hands and I'd occasionally call him and say "hey, can you do me a favor?".

But if today's car makers are so great WHY do there cars SUCK? I would rather have a 1925 Ford Model T then that dammed "launch control" Mustang! Its just pathetic that these Clowns CAN'T build a car that I Would rather have than a car built in 1967...pathetic. But I guess DORKS don't make for good car builders? The VW you mentioned SUCKS!

@Pete shea I never mentioned making more power you did...READ CAREFULLY, LISTEN and try to LEARN. Disc brakes don't make a car go faster either. Those are just innovations related to speed.

Everyone wants the SHELBY ( the REAL Shelby) not the launch control. CAN YOU READ? DARE to change that retro body style and Mustang sales will go away. And FORD dammed well knows it. Example look at that last Pontiac GTO no retro body style. NO ONE wanted it. If it had a '65 GTO retro look it would be as popular as the Mustang. Being a Motorcyclist all my life we understand the sensation of speed. Simply it dissipates over time until no matter how fast you go it gets boring. This is why guys love OLD motorcycles.
