Love that this car stock is 17 decibels over the 90db limit allowed at Laguna.

I'm a chevy corvette guy and I have to say that this Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is an Awesome machine. What an accomplishment the guys at Ford have done with this amazing machine. Well done Ford.

Its 4 sec faster than a c8, a bit faster than a camaro, and only 1 sec slower than a v10 awd huracan and a f8 tributo. Pretty impessive.

Pretty insane this car can achieve this quick of a lap and also do a 10.6 1/4 mile stock.

[brandonl]

I'm a chevy guy at heart but ford did an amazing job with the gt350 and gt500, much respect

[josephissa]

I am absolutely in love with the brand new 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, I have been a very big and long term Ford fan and enthusiast for Shelby American's work on these cars and it's honestly just awesome to see how well the new 2020 Shelby GT500 CFTP performs on the S550 Mustang platform and I couldn't be any happier with it. Thanks for the Hotlap and review on this monster MotorTrend.

[Xander_Park]

769 HP in that GT500, I need this car in my life, for real.

[auxz]

I helped make that car in Flat Rock, MI

[julieli]

almost hit 1.5G from Mustang Shelby, what a car!

[danieldavis]

Picked up my shadow black 2020 GT 500 on 2/2/21 and I enjoy driving it more than my 2016 z06 and I never thought I would say that. The GT 500 is so planted around corners with so much confidence and then pulls so much power when needed it is a drivers car more than a corvette plain and simple...fantastic job Ford Performance.

[saudjamal]

this car is faster than an R8, 570s, gtr nismo, and lambo avantador around a track.

[CarazyDiamond]

For the first time, I'm impressed with GT500 and its track capability!!!.

[kevindavis]

"This ain't no lightweight." Was Randy talking about the car, or Lieberman?

[ReactWithPablo]

Absolutely love my Shelby GT500! Straight line power when you need it but the fact that it can corner and stop as well as it can is the best thing about it!

[thegamingraccoon]

I love that color. Grabber Lime will always be an awesome color. It fits perfectly with a car that's just as awesome

[andrewcunnison]

For a stock car with that amount of power at the price is just astonishing

[bilicki]

When Randy giggles I don’t care what brand it is, he is having fun and loves the car and shows how good it is!

[lyte]

The fact that it performed better than the z51 has me all smiles

[wiknr]

Wow, what a performance...shouldn't be surprised but am impressed non-the-less. Congrats to Ford and really good drive Randy!!
