Shelby Mustang GT500 Vs Train | Race to the San Siro | Top Gear - Part 1

@@snozbaries7652 I don't think that's what they meant by failed. I think they just mean his career, that he failed to stay on and didn't make racing his sole purpose in life like all drivers.

[@radioguy1620]

in 1992 on labor day weekend he was at a car show in Lime rock CT, I noticed him speaking to a crowd gathered around him and some of the original Lemans cars, as he walked away from the crowd he was heading my way so I reached out for a hand shake and he took it and I said to him thanks , I walked away somewhat stunned that he had shaken my hand, later on I found my girlfriend and I could hardly tell her what had happened without choking up. still do a bit thinking about it .

[@AbsoluteyAmerican]

3:13 no its not "lavishly equipped" the point of a Shelby is not to be the most luxurious car but to really make a connection with the driver. Driving it (even at slow speeds) you feel it and respect it. And from what I've seen, you can really do some crazy stuff with it once you get to know it.

Americans like cars very simple... they care about power more than comfort, unlike Europeans! A base mustang has 305 horsepower where as a BMW 328i for example only has 240 horsepower... In America BMW is $10000 more than a mustang! Shelby GT500 is a true muscle car it was never designed for great handling, but its a true power house

[@SeanKosari]

***** Mine isn't Shelby but still I know what you're saying... specially in a rainy day it's really scary to drive it

[@FEGTTTSDH]

yes the gt500 looks awesome and the acceleration is INSANE. The bmw is more... normal... still is a great car

***** European is opera and American is rock n roll. I know which one makes for a better party.

Don't know why you guys keep saying Clarkson hates the Mustang. He says it's a good-looking car and describes the power as "intoxicating". Not to mention the heritage. C'mon guys, drive a new Jag and compare the engineering and refinement. The Jag rates much higher in these categories. Which one do you really think would be more pleasant on a very long drive?

[@h80282]

Well the intrior of a shellby is not bad its good and if you want luxury intrior u should pay more like how u pay for a jag ... and btw the mustang live longer than the jag.... jag's parts are expansive and its not a real car like the mustang ...
