1200 HP TWIN TURBO Shelby GT500 Review! Is 1200HP Even Usable?

The 2021 Shelby GT500 is already an obnoxiously fast car. With 760HP from the factory and a surprising amount of downforce, it is a track monster ready to go from the showroom floor. However when you remove the supercharger and replace it with two fast spooling turbos - things get really interesting. With a completely mechanically stock car - this makes 1200HP to the wheels with it's hidden twin turbo kit underneath the car. With it's DCT transmission this thing rips anytime and anywhere. Huge thanks to Mustang Lifestyle for the opportunity to drive this incredible car. The GT500 has an incredible legacy, and I'm glad to say this Shelby with twin turbos does not disappoint.

This was such an incredible experience. The SOUND in person is breathtaking.

[@StonerGamingParadise]

May I ask what happen to the Tuner Crate boxes?

[@user-wl4df3cg7p]

precursor to the code red gt500?

[@timgolden2981]

Seems as if you’re leaving 2nd gear alone and shifting into 3rd

[@jaguarsbeast4020]

Unbelievable Stang!!

[@MustangLifestyleTV]

Glad you got a chance to take the GT500 for a ride! This car brings a smile to my face every time I drive it

[@haydeneudy]

More than the red car? That thing seemed like a wild ride 😅

[@mastercricket7626]

I'm not a mustang person in general idk I grew up my brothers are Chevy muscle heads lol n I'm a import guy , but man I bet this thing seriously hurts feelings beaing able to hit 8500rpms on a v8 thats gnarly fam ... sick whip for sure bro mad respect 🤘🏼💪🏽🤙🏽

[@jacobaleva1454]

Beautiful car my man

[@a.schwizz3537]

Perfect spec gt500

[@Weidjeep]

Thanks for allowing TDIB to showcase the car to the world. This thing is epic.

[@dz_gt500]

Crazy how much mustangs have progressed over the years.

[@forterierocks]

I'm not a Ford guy but I'll admit the newer Mustang's are badass, they look awesome and the 5.0 Coyote, 5.2 Voodoo and 5.2 Predator engines are killer units!

[@jordancourse5102]

Fr I’m a LS fan but the Coyote platform was genius then the Voodoo , then the Predator. I do favor the gt350 over all 3.

[@Six3SixTay]

In my opinion, this generation of the GT 500 is THE BADDEST muscle car out…I love these cars man…the auto trans shifts lightning quick, 760 HP right out of the box…& it looks amazing, especially with the carbon fiber track package. sweet baby Jesus it’s just one HELL of a car…What’s crazy is the Widebody SE “Signature Edition” GT 500 looks EVEN BETTER…Which Idek if a lot of people know about it. Should definitely look it up.

[@stealthyote]

Too bad they weigh 4,200lbs

[@themidnighttavern6784]

​@@stealthyote About 4k with the carbon fiber bits. Still not terrible with modern engineering and chassis design, engineers can make a 4,000 lb car feel like it weighs 3,500.

[@emeraldages]

These are sports cars. A muscle car is like a g8 or charger.

[@Six3SixTay]

@@emeraldages No it’s a muscle car…The 3 baddest muscle cars on the market is the Charger, the GT500 , & the Camaro SS/ZL1/1LE. . .You’ve got to be kidding me with such a comment.😑

[@johnmitchell2269]

It's neither a sports car nor a muscle car. It's a performance coupé

[@R3AL-AIM]

Great gearing with a modern trans and a tune to keep everything in check makes most newer 1000+hp cars easily streetable. Keeps the power low when you don't need it and allows it to come alive as soon as you do.

[@3xeplodng_3agle_studios]

Especially if you hide it behind a (obviously) re-tuned "sport mode"

[@AlternateRye]

Say absolutely nothing without saying nothing:

[@R3AL-AIM]

@@AlternateRye tell me you never driven in an old auto muscle car with a high stall converter... Lol

[@mustangfanatic5575]

THe fact that the gt500 can maintain control with 1200hp is very impressive.

[@KhanJoltrane]

Long wheel base and kinda heavy helps

[@maximborodyuk3773]

[@dmahrii]

it's one of the best drivetrains in the world whether people like it or not... just facts ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@themidnighttavern6784]

​@@dmahrii Some idiot is going to come along and say "But it's a Ford". Personally, I think Ford is killing it lately, bought a maverick hybrid, excellent powertrain known to last 300-500k. The 2.0,2.3, 2.5, 2.7,3.0 , 5.0, 5.2, 3.5, 6.7, all of those are great engines. Yet you always deal with the person attacking a brand because they had a negative experience 20 years ago.

[@dmahrii]

@@themidnighttavern6784 facts. and then they always wanna compare a Ford to something else and say "you could've gotten this, with more power blah blah blah" (I drive a fusion sport and gap Subarus all day btw LMAO)

[@slickproductionsTV]

That is the smoothest, and most raw 1200hp.

[@tangstanggt5006]

I love Andrew's car. But wish you had gotten to drive mine again before I sold it. Imagine the same power, but instantly because it still had the blower. Made 1200 with a 75 shot of nitrous.

[@Weekndautoenthusiast]

I found myself holding my breathe while you’re doing pulls. Says a lot about the car..and the videography! Haven’t watched a review in ages but it reminds me of why yours are the best!

[@904Saleen]

Great Video! I love how this car is absolutely nasty, yet it drives like a completely normal car. I've gotten to ride in it a few times and it always impresses me!

[@mariqueflores3342]

Twin turbos on this Generation of GT500s with the DCT is a match made in heaven !!.. Palm Beach Dyno (same shop that worked on this car) had a blue one putting down 1500whp but it crashed in Houston for TX2K23

[@JordanSVT]

I'd like to see you review Andrew's OG 2V. Out of all the cars he currently has, that one is my favorite. But I miss seeing his Redfire Cobra the most, RIP.

[@GarrettsGear]

This is the coolest mustang on the channel to date. Absolute perfection 😍

[@jackb1000]

AWESOME!!!! I love how the smile grows on your face when the Stang accelerates. And it sounds brutal.

[@DragoonStorm24]

The GT500 has always been one of my favorite cars ever. But this new one with the crazy transmission and power potential would be a dream come true to own!

[@mbsanocki88]

I drove a stock 2020 gt500 and it was the hardest pulling car i have drove. I couldn't imagine 1200hp.

[@robosteez]

yeah stock is still 760 horsepower lol. So crazy when you think about it.

[@AzureCrux]

Sheesh that traction struggle sure is familiar

[@jD_4597]

Hey David I love the content I have been a subscriber since before you bought your 240, I was wondering if you ever considered podcasting? I feel like there aren’t that many car podcasts other than the smoking tire that are fun to listen to and since you been doing the car culture videos I think stuff like that would transfer over into podcasting really well and I would listen to it. Keep up the good work !

[@shanestewart9505]

Andrew has a Mustang addiction. Great segment!

[@kennethwellington9547]

I can't believe someone just let you borrow this car. I guess my parents didn't teach me to share. But then again I don't know what it's like to have enough money to have a car like this. Kudos to him.

[@Matty-Ice98]

I love that this kinda sounds like the Hoonicorn when you get on it.

[@monsterblood3833]

Love the seats and the sound is crazy like no other

[@DanWuensch]

This is the most excited I've been about car video in a long time... Thought I'd seen it all with how KZbin is these days but man this is a raw and awesome car

[@Six3SixTay]

Lol I believe we all did bro.😂 That car is amazing!

[@ThePurpleKhaos]

my stomach muscles are killing me from just watching this I can't imagine what it must have been like for you driving it on a serious note i was waiting for you to enter a time warp and sling shot forward. I've never felt such an intense reaction like that before from a video. Now say if everything 100 percent was the same except metaphorical manual gearbox would it be possible to be in control as you had that? I wont lie i wasnt expecting it to hold so steady. More that I'm thinking the paddle shift is actually pretty gnarly screw the manual thought this car is perfect 11/10 I felt like I just road shotgun thank you for the adrenaline rush all the way over here in Illinois 👽😬🙌🏻🛸💯🐎

[@henrybruner7185]

Love the car andrew..top of the mountain my friend

[@1989rs500]

The best part about this upgrade as said here n this video is.. Its kind f easy for Ford DOHC 32v motors to make 700 -800 whp with 2 turbos and not much 2 be done on it other than some supporting mods. Boosting is 1 huge advantage Ford dohc engines ve over OHVs of GM and Dodge

[@nezabytes]

Yep. More power per liter.

[@jbabbsgarage1225]

I need me one these. That thing is one impressive unit for sure.

[@kinanalhawat6753]

I love how fast the transmission/cluch is. If all transmissions were so good I'd agree that we don't need manual transmissions anymore.

[@yaboirico5221]

the DCT perfectly suits this car but manual is a lot more fun in slower cars

[@iNegroTv]

BMW's ZF8's are really good autos. Manuals are fun, but paddle shifting a good auto/dct is just faster at the end of the day.

[@ttravis10]

The 10 spd auto that Ford and GM use is pretty gnarly.

[@nickw4898]

@@iNegroTv Went from a B8 S4 DSG and tried the ZF in the B9 S4 and ruined the car power delivery for me, the loss in torque is still noticeable even if the shifts are crisper. Still DCT>Manual>Auto for me

[@iNegroTv]

@@nickw4898 Obviously DCT's are better than autos. Only because sequential transmissions exist (super expensive) but Manual>DCT>Auto for me.

You should really link up with Gavin (itsjusta6) and review him and his 1350hp GT350 and his gorgeous Shelby F150!!!

[@carculturenation2166]

crazy is a stock cftp can get around a track like modern mid engine exotics like literally faster or within a second of cars like Ferrari f8 tributo Lamborghini huracan evo and porsche gt3rs around a tight track. A more open track stretch them legs. But its like an american Ferrari f12 but the money you save you can twin turbo this but a truck and trailer and build a 7 second s550 mustang gt. I know why ppl buy exotics. But the gt500 is probably the most exotic muscle car and it can handle. c8s i really dont consider muscle and stock top trim c8 stingray is 5 secs behind a stock gt500 of same cost around a track. 185k c8 zo6 vs 80k base gt500 the gt500 starts to freight train a z06 at 100+mph which thats mind blowing that a brick compared to a c8 and gt500 starts to pull away as hard as it does
