Anyone who buys a car like this just to keep it in a garage is a grade-a moron.

Wish people would practice what they preach. I hate seeing these cars hidden. They were built to drive!

I drive mine all over the place. I try to avoid rain due to tire selections LoL

Gotta stretch their legs! Such fun machines. There's nothing better than a couple white knuckle pulls to get the weekend rolling right!

Topper Harley sucks he didn’t build the new ones. As if the GT350’s weren’t unreliable enough, the GT500’s are coming out of the showroom with problems. But the 500’s have the excuse of people not listening to the dealer. But GT350’s 😅😬😬

TheGhost same One of the things that irritates me the most is the op “it touched 120 mph time to do a rebuild” types

Tre'von Cowen LoL what? Mustangs were made to be driven fast. I’ve done 145 mph in my 2003 Mustang GT before. It was fine with it.

Angel Gutierrez I see context and reading comprehension escapes u

Tre'von Cowen what

Angel Gutierrez Same in my 94 Z28 M6 lol

Exactly!

My E46 M3 has 209,000 miles on it and I couldn't agree more. We gotta drive our babys.

I do agree with you to a point. I have a 87 grand national, just hit 50k miles last summer and it actually hurt seeing that 4 roll away

@@Jeff-uq7iu I do bet it's difficult putting miles on a Grand National that still has relatively lower mileage.

Jeff enjoy it lol alotta people my age (23) don't even know what a grand national is but 80s buicks were always my and my grandfathers thing my first car was a 82 Electra and a grand national or even just a early-mid regal t type is my dream

2NDSIDE my 10 GT Track pack was totaled on Christmas by an impatient hi school kid that decided to illegally turn left right in front of me in a 45 zone in the rain 😭 my car only made it to 79k miles total loss

Disgusting

Mike CorLeoné that hurts to hear that 😢

Mike CorLeoné That sucks to hear... I hope you eventually get another one

😂

There's a couple of them on SVTP with more than 300K. Mine has 48K lol

I have a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire with 310,000. Nothing ever done to motor. Still original waterpump. Electric cooling fan motor is the only thing under the hood thats been changed.

termi motors are built a lot stronger. I don't know about the rest of the body though.

If I remember correctly some dudes in Florida made 1000 hp on an 03 Terminator without touching the internals.

Miles are miles. Doesn't matter how they were accumulated

rajan dhaliwal wrong. With a 12 percent loss, he’s making 552 at the crank.

That is the same most stock ones ive seen with far fewer miles make. This is a solid car seems to have been maintained well

Honestly if his gt500 was original rated at 550 CRANK horsepower i think that would equal at 490, 480 WHEEL horsepower so maybe there's no loss of hp at all i just wanted to point that out lol

How did you do the math

uM i tEEnk u aRE aLL RonG iT acSHOoLy mAKeS 555hp.

Not bad at all, considering the usage and the fact that it's at wheels instead of the crank

That’s awesome numbers

@@user-yv1bf4rx7r wait what ?

@@tylercouture216 its awesome for wheel hp and tq..

That means at 13% loss it is right at 550/550 on both ends on the flywheel. Impressive torque for such mileage. Underrated!!

I did over 60k between work and personal car last year.

@@chandlerthoma9173 My pay for Texas standards is pretty shitty, so sadly no. I get paid while I'm driving though and a lot of it is through areas I've never been to so I do enjoy that aspect of it.

Dang..... i put 50k on my company work truck last year. Our company trades in the trucks every 100k so about every 2 years we get a new truck.

Jeromy Williams you should get a daily

@@24joegomez damn man. My company makes us drag these things out to 200k lol.

Reminds me of that supercar from fast 7, they just put it on top of the building but dosent drive it

unfair sanic to be fair the shelby cost about 70,000 grand and the liken hyper sport cost about 10,000,000 but I still agree 😂

These guys blow their cars up doing high rev throttle bumps over and over doing a exhaust review vid, pretty stupid especially on a un broken in motor. Usually not the quality of the car just the idiot trying to get views.

Stick Boy my 2012 Boss has 83700 miles on it and still pulls like a freight train! I can’t stop driving it even though I have 2 other cars ( 03 Mach 1 and a 09 toyota Scion xB.

​@Rickey Barnes awesome man if you take care of it it'll keep pulling hard well past 100k miles even 200k. I have an 07 gt500 that has 127k bought it with bolt ons at 108k put a gen3r on it at 122k and I beat the piss out of it. It did 740/733 to the tire through fat drag radials and 4.10 gears. It's a monster. These things were built tough I've seen many in this power range well past 100k.

Jimmyqballs That’s probably from regular highway use which would explain the 188k miles.

@@EricFortuneJr. Those marks are from an automatic car wash. With a black car and that many miles, the marring is actually pretty normal even with hand washing/drying

@@jimmyqballs Car looks amazing actually , no scratches only car wash swirls

He drives the hell out of this car, don't think he is worried about a polish

First thing that came to my mind.

So? Atleast it's been driven its whole life

What do you think mr Shelby built them FOR?????? MOST DEFINITELY NOT TO BE GARAGE/HARD PARKER QUEENS

It’s 8 years old and was actually driven

Wow John you really added to the conversation with this 1.

Ran Ware Shelby didn’t have anything to do with this car other than name. Ford made/built this cars. The first gen S197 GT500 in 2007 was a collaboration between Carroll Shelby and Ford. But Ford built them from the ground up. SVT carried the torch in the next generation 2010 and up. The GT500KRs were however modified my Shelby America.

Pardon the ignorance, but I'm a Former 2012 cobra owner--- what is a plasma cylinder liner?

​@@chrisnyasia7 In '11 the GT500 started using Plasma Transferred Wire Arc (PTWA) cylinder liners that are thinner and lighter than the traditional iron liners. All new Coyote engines use this now and save around 8-12 lbs off the engine and are supposed to also improve operating temps

@@85MasterV that explains it... I guess basically what you're saying is it's an innovative measure geared toward saving weight and thereby lowering friction, which in turn lowers heat--- heat being the enemy of all things metal. Makes sense. Got it... Thanks for the knowledge...

Chainheart Machine that started in 2013 with the 5.8L GT500. 5.4L just had standard cast iron sleeves like most engines have.

@@markball7028 No, it started in 2011. "Ford, however, has a new, patented coating process that debuts on the 2011 GT500. It's called Plasma Transferred Wire Arc Spray Bore" www.popularmechanics.com/cars/a5376/4345219/

Hi Doris!

Lonestar Stang well, it is a Ford.

Makes the same power low mile cars do. They will long as they're taken care of and in good health which this one seems to be.

I drive a Ford and the more km I put on the happier I am

Gets a s197 gt500 I LiKe CoRnErs

@John Miller Yeah, but my point is a lambo from the 60s or 70s wouldn't last 10k without some issues, now they're lasting over 100k in some cases.

Wesley Young wtf are you talking about. Pay attention

@@Hernsama do you even math? 486/.87=558. They said at the beginning it's 12-15% parasitic loss, so he used 13% as his example.

@@Hernsama you need to pay attention.

@@Hernsama yeah feeeeeeeeerrrrrrrn!

God dammit Fern!

The 5.4 is very solid. I doubt it's ever been apart.

Why would it need the engine rebuilt? These things are stout as hell. I've seen many go well beyond 100k making 700+ to the tires and being driven hard. It isn't hard to see a stock one going 180k maintained well. Nothing shocking here other than the fact it's a gt500 that actually has miles on it lol. Not because they aren't reliable because 99% of their owners waste them away in garages and thus have low miles.

You mean 478rwhp?

Yea they make the same peak hp but look at the torque curve on this beast its a totally different animal. They also normally dont make those numbers without a few bolt ons and an e85 tune whereas this is a bone stock car with a driveline that dates back to 07. Theres room to squeeze another 100+ whp out of this with bolt ons while still being on pump gas. The new gt is impressive and has alot of tech to allow it to make the power it does plus 12:1 compression and dual fual along with variable cam timing etc. Its just different ways to make power this car has a small blower on it stock with restrictive exhaust and like 8.4:1 compression so its a totally different way to make power.

Nah. Modded 2011-2012 are best

2011-12 is a better build .

@@jrforsythe4144 i agree for the money they are. Obviously id take a 13 if price was equal but it isn't theyre on average 10-15k more and with the stupid gearing the 13s have theyre not even that much quicker for the power they make. Put the same blower on both cars and power is comparable.

Well, for some reason he's keeping it a "secret"..........

Greg Gladden thank you!

Jay Walling What did you pay for this thing??

Sarah Dell I picked it up for 18K

Jay Walling Not bad. Hopefully she holds together for awhile

Sarah Dell I know a place I can get parts for it if it doesn’t 😉

It could be argued, a classic in new condition would have fewer problems vs a new gt500 etc. Newer is better, but not always more reliable (more features= more to break).

Idk new or old what I do know is a '67 that breaks down on the side of the road can be fixed in 20 min with basic tools as opposed to any new car

​@Marc Z these are pretty easy to work on actually and they're very reliable if taken care of.

​@@guitarman376 These are solid as hell and very reliable if taken care of.

What is yours at now? My 07 is at 127k and has a gen3r on it at 19 psi doing 740/733 to the tire. She's a beast.

@@midnight347 well, I sold the car about 8 months at 168k miles on it. Got a 2011 ford Lariat limited with a 6.2L V8 fully loaded 4x4 and love the truck. Also have 2 kids both under 3 years old. Was a great car but I outgrew it.
