0.229 -> The GT500 nameplate has a long and storied
history, dating back to 1967 when Carroll
5.67 -> Shelby first put a massive V-8 engine in a
Mustang and created the original GT500.
11.36 -> Since then, the GT500 has become synonymous
with high-performance Mustangs, representing
16.38 -> the ultimate expression of this iconic American
pony car.
20.01 -> The current generation GT500, which was introduced
for the 2020 model year, takes the Mustang
25.47 -> to previously unimaginable levels of power
and performance.
29.06 -> While some may be tempted to dismiss it as
just an overly muscled Mustang, a few minutes
33.16 -> behind the wheel is all it takes to realize
that this is no ordinary muscle car.
37.6 -> In fact, the GT500 is a truly brilliant performance
machine that transcends the confines of its
42.98 -> muscle car roots.
44.57 -> It feels just as track-capable as some of
the most expensive exotics on the market,
48.64 -> with poise and confidence-inspiring handling
that inspires confidence.
52.5 -> And while the GT500's ride can be a bit stiff,
especially on choppy pavement, it's a small
57.41 -> price to pay for the kind of track-ready focus
that this car brings to the table.
61.91 -> Of course, it's the engine that really steals
the show here.
65.28 -> With a staggering 760 horsepower and 625 lb-ft
of torque, the GT500's 5.2-liter supercharged
73.06 -> cross-plane crank V-8 engine is a thing of
beauty, delivering performance that is truly
77.17 -> awe-inspiring.
78.77 -> And with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic
transmission that was specifically engineered
82.729 -> for the GT500, the car is impressively tractable,
even if it still demands respect from the
87.841 -> driver.
89.02 -> Stomp on the throttle in third or fourth gear,
and you'll find yourself spinning the tires
92.75 -> in no time.
94.04 -> Fortunately, the GT500's gigantic brakes are
more than up to the task of reining in all
98.75 -> that power, providing stopping power that
feels like the car has been lassoed by a wrought
102.77 -> iron rope.
104.29 -> While American muscle cars have earned a reputation
for being little more than haughty one-trick
108.06 -> ponies, good at making noise and accelerating
quickly but little else, the GT500 shatters
112.88 -> that stereotype.
114.46 -> It's a performance machine that is every bit
as awe-inspiring as the supercars from other
118.39 -> corners of the world.
120.27 -> For those who are serious about on-track performance,
the GT500's Carbon Fiber Track package is
125.2 -> a must-have.
126.56 -> This package includes 20-inch wheels wrapped
in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, a huge
131.26 -> wing, and interior trim finished in lightweight
carbon fiber weave.
134.69 -> The package also adds Recaro bucket front
seats and deletes the rear seats entirely,
139.16 -> making for a more focused driving experience.
141.95 -> Under the hood, adjustable strut top mounts
and an oil catch can help to keep the car
145.771 -> running smoothly and reliably, even under
the most extreme conditions.
149.61 -> Overall, the Carbon Fiber Track package transforms
the GT500 from a massively sporty machine
154.83 -> into something that feels more like a true
supercar.
157.94 -> For those who aren't quite ready to take the
plunge with the Carbon Fiber Track package,
161.67 -> the Carbon Fiber Handling package is also
worth considering.
165.03 -> This package adds those super-light 20-inch
wheels, adjustable suspension, a catch can,
169.56 -> and a few aero bits, but forgoes the seat
changes and larger wing that come with the
173.519 -> CFTP.
175.269 -> Despite all of its performance prowess, the
GT500 is also surprisingly safe.
180.41 -> When it was most recently tested for the 2021
model year, the GT500 earned the NHTSA's highest
186.3 -> five-star overall safety rating.
188.64 -> And while the GT500 has not yet been evaluated
by the IIHS, the standard Mustang earned the
193.34 -> highest Good score in four crashworthiness
tests, and the second highest Acceptable score
197.53 -> in the driver's side small overlap front test.
