Exactly, regardless if he is from a rich family.......he is lucky to be one of the 1st ones to get it. At least he and his dad(or whoever is his co-pilot) is driving the car from Michigan back to California instead of shipping it. I will probably keep an eye on his channel, because i wouldnt be surprised that this GT500 will become a GT500 Super Snake (if shelby does one) since his family has a 2014 Shelby SuperSnake Signature Edition and has does some videos at Shelby American with Chris Ruby Edited December 2, 2019 by ShelbyEra08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondo Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Wow, running 10.60's at over 132mph bone stock! And driver not wearing a helmet! Risky, but the car is pretty quick without drag tires! I'm wondering what it could run with slicks!

Jeffrey Duncan Posted December 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 No helmet bothered me as well. I’m normally not a huge you tube fan or fan of his but he is so honestly excited and happy just great to see genuine passion and good for him can’t wait to get mine if I’m as excited as he is it’s a huge win for ford. Forget times, weight, all the other BS have people truly enjoy the car is what matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the clickbait titles comment- I had to unsubscribe from the channel because of it. But he's claiming Evan Smith's run was a pre-production car and his was production. He's claiming quickest production GT500 so far but it will be beat soon when someone installs drag slicks and easily breaks the record. I'm guessing 9's with just tire and tune.

Anybody from Ford or Shelby know if there's really any differences between pre-production and production GT500s? Doc I was giving you a current real-world example to answer your question. Back in the 1960's, car manufacturers would bring a tuned preproduction vehicle to be tested by the magazines and then the production vehicles were significantly slower. The current.C8 Vette preproduction car's performance numbers are not consistent when measuring the reported HP vs weight and 0 - 60 times. Ford in recent times has under-reported their HP ratings and usually doesn't report track times. So it's nice to see a real-world production car out in the wild with YouTube videos to prove its performance data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtkeith Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 This guy is giving people more real world detail on the new GT500 than most I've seen before....He says it's easier on fuel than his GT350R...not bad at all for a 760hp car I think it's darn amazing.

I met this guy on the last day of a bash a couple years ago. I had no idea he was on YouTube at the time. He pulled in to the parking lot at Shelby American in his 350R and he looked even younger back then lol. He is a good guy.
