2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 & Boss 302 - Jay Leno's Garage
• 2013 Ford Mustang Shel...
Jay Leno's Garage
/ jaylenosgarage
I met a woman with a 2012 Boss 302. She was 82 years old. I asked her if she would ever sell it, or if age makes the car less enjoyable for daily driving. She told me her husband tries to get her to get rid of it, but she'll NEVER sell her Mustang. It absolutely lit a fire in my heart, and I'll never forget seeing an 82 year old woman smoke the tires in a Boss 302 while leaving the dollar tree parking lot. One of the most incredible things I've ever seen.
Do you live in Florida
Lol love it man lol
600+ horsepower,200 mph for 50 grand,God bless America !
peter455sd 50 grand? More like 200. :(
***** Yes. The VAT is 24% so that + other factors make them very, very expensive. Just to give you a hint: www.nettiauto.com/dodge/challenger/6943978 how expensive cars are.
Socialism makes everything stupidly expensive
+peter455sd Feel the Bern
Trump 2016
Still doesn’t look outdated , what a beast
Even now in 2023...
"You have to buy the stick. Thank you ford." :D
Wish they stuck to that
@@billybill7871 yeah the 2020 Mustang GT500 doesn't need that 7 speed DCT, it needs manual transmission like what they did with GT350 or maybe manual option
And yet no one seems to want a manual transmission anymore. Manuals may still exist but it will only be available for the 5% of the population who still want a manual transmission.
Thanks to the father of the true muscle car Carol Shelby. What an amazing car he has given us.
james Wong Not being rude but it's spelled Carroll... just letting you know but yes thank him.
Honestly who the really cares. If it's spelled correct. Is thean going to say something about it. Like really!!!
*_Carroll_** Shelby*
james Wong I'd really like to see the movie coming out about the gt40 and Ferrari
@@jameswong478 Yes James Wang spelling doesn't matter...much. lol
He died on my 13th b-day.... The world will miss you Carroll Shelby.
Justin Walters Hey Justin.. Carroll was a car guy through and through...get you one as fast as you can..last real Shelby...I know that's allot of $ for a young man but don't ever give up wishing or dreaming, the payoff is worth it. I have a 14, one of the best true blue American sportcars ever made..the wait is worth it.
Jay Young at almost 21 years old my life has actually been fortunate enough that I may pick one of these up in a couple months. Crazy how things happen, back again watching this video convincing myself I need one.
Stop pretending to be a car nut.. You're 13 then.
I thought I only wanted a Boss 302, now I want a Boss 302 along with a Shelby GT500. Kudos to Ford for getting both right, and to Jay for another great video!
Exactly
Same. I have a 13’ Boss in race red, 17k miles. Love that Fn car, I’ll never get rid of it. Next up is a 11-14 GT500!
The sounds of the GT500, as captured here, are just sensational. This is what a professional video looks and sounds like.
love jay he drives these cars like they were built to be driven
Awesome!!
Suzanne Gonzalez you right
Wish he took them to the dragstrip and had us ride along... we'd like some numbers...
Great mustangs. I love the 302 Boss. I watch several blog of yours every day. Miss you’re tonight show. I’m 63 retired from construction and the United States Air Force. You have a beautiful Family. May god watch you’re Family and you. Thank You. 🙏👍✌️❤️😎
We still miss you mr. Shelby thank you for all those cars and the memories we made with those cars
"Will it do a burn out?" What kind of question is that Jay?! its a mustang, of course it does a burn out
Dylan Oxendine oh really? Mustang ll? Mustang v6? So stereotypical
REN 627 what?
Dylan Oxendine not all mustangs can do burnouts
oh lol well of course I was exaggerating mate
Dylan Oxendine haha
Jay Leno is my hero! I bet he spends hours walking around that air hanger looking at his cars! I'd do exactly the same if I happened to win 100 million
a cool dude
i hope you win!
Jay is an awesome story teller. His passion and knowledge of cars is unbelievable.
Just got an 09 couple of weeks ago and will have a stupidly giddy smile on my face forever.
Same here. Bought mine just a little over a month ago. Still can't believe it.
Jay is a legend. what an amazing show.
Great video! Fast forward to 2022 now and this same car used, with say under 15k miles is still going to cost the same as it was brand new, about 50k, crazy! Highly sought after and highly fun! The S197 is easily my fav body style.
I've never been a mustang fan. I grew up in a UAW home, my dad worked at Oldsmobile. Funny, even though he worked for GM, he was a ford guy, I was a chevy guy. Well, that was back in the early 70's. Fast forward; it's now 2016. I've recently purchased a '16 mustang gt. It's 5x's the car the camaro ever thought of being. Hats off to ford. They finally became legend with this new body style, motor, and balance. The mustang can finally sit at the "big people's table"..come any holiday.
How's that MT82 holding up? I REALLY want a Mustang GT but I'm avoiding them after reading all of the transmission horror stories.
That is amazing technology! You get 24 mpg with 662 horse power, amazing. God bless Carroll Shelby for making such excellent driving machines. He is missed greatly.
24mpg in 6th gear going downhill at 60mph!! Otherwise it’s about 8mpg!!
@@jasonlommen4769 You’re pretty uninformed
GT500 & GT350 are SVT Products, 100% Ford despite the Shelby branding
Absolutely not true on average it's about 20 even when going like 120 your def uninformed like the other guy said
He is
Disadvantage of living here in the UK - Well the GT500 basically doesn't exist over here they are so rare Advantage of living here in the UK - When I get one I will be an owner of a very rare car over here
Cory Brayshaw GT500s are rare for me and I live in the States because I live in a poor income area, when I go to the nicer part of town I occasionally see a 458, R35, and sometimes a Huracan and I don't care about super cars to be honest, I've only seen a GT500 three times my whole life and it was so satisfying, ahh the exhaust note is just screaming bald eagles 😍🇺🇸
I’ve lived in Florida and now Atlanta and these beasts are common in both states. I see them quite often in Atlanta. I go to car shows often and they race me on the highways and I race them too. I’ve owned a few Mustangs and I’ve driven a GT500 a few times. Boy, they’re fun.
Barely off idle at 60mph. That's wild.
andrewt248 it hits 60MPH in first gear 😭 even more wild
Corvette does to IIRC and a couple of family sedans.
He'll be missed greatly without a doubt, but don't forget Jamal Hameedi, the brains behind the GT500's engineering!
Was the hum of that light driving anybody else nuts?
Push Back not until you mentioned it lol
the most beautiful Mustang in history
Danny Nguyen agreed
The new one is more beautifull
Has old school looks with a sense of modernism. Looks good.
Danny Nguyen this comes a close second to the 429 mustang
Educate these youngsters (laughs), nah to each their own.
I'm a Dodge and Chevy guy...but this car might make me want to switch over...
why pick sides they all have good cars
Rocky L fanboys picks sides, a true enthusiast can appreciate all cars.
Rocky L but only one of them didn't ask the taxpayer to bail them out
appreciate all cars... except riced up Hondas.
Real car guys don't choose a side.
Jay is awesome, True American! Loves them Mustangs!
True brit here! But I also love Mustangs
Cory Brayshaw to be honest I never really thought much of them, but this current generation design really stood out to me and the mechanics are really becoming great.
I love the slight face lift on the front, really sets it off
Rest in peace, Carroll.. Huge legend in the carhistory, the world miss you, buddy!
“It was a V6, that doesn’t matter, it’s a MUSTANG!” that’s the spirit we need with cars nowadays, V6 or V8 doesn’t matter!! The fact that you’re able to own a car like that is a huge privilege!
What a work of art! I could buy it, park it in my garage and just sit and stare at it for the rest of my life. Well maybe go burn the tires up once on a while. Ya know to get the bugs out.
Why doesn't Ford continue to build GTs? I think it could be America's #1 sports/supercar if they continued to update/upgrade it. I'm a Chevy guy, but I love the Ford GT. If i could have 3 cars, it would be the new Stingray, the new Z28 and a Ford GT. They used to call the Ford GT "the ferrari killer" in the 60's. I think it would be good for the overall reputation of American supercars if they had a new model version. Then would America would have the Vette, Viper, and GT competing against what Europe and Japan could offer.
RIP MR SHELBY. What a great man he was. This man played a big part in turning Fords fortunes around. He will always be remebered by millions of Ford Fans around the World. His Spirit will live on in these incredable Ford Shelby Mustangs. Always a Huge Fan from Australia
Jay leno"s Garage is the best show on KZhead No other show comes close to the amount of content that he puts out with each one of his episodes. Its not just about the cars, its also about the amazing people that are behind the making of these works of art and amazing machinery, and the history of it all, and he grasps each and everyone of those points every time. Great Series Jay, keep up the Great work. I just wanted to let you know all of us enjoy your work and this hobby, thanks for sharing!
Txs Shelby 4 Having Such a Great Group of People Leading the Way, Amazing Car, R.I.P. Ser🙏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️💪
Would rather have the 13 GT500 in grabber blue over pretty much any other car in the price range. Awesome street presence.
can i violate you?
Lol my dad has a 2014 super snake in grabber blue with black stripes
Mr Leno, Thank you for doing those car reviews, most people that can't afford the cars you drive are excited about watching and learning about them. The Shelby GT500 and Icon 4x4 1971 Bronco are my favorite segments. Keep up the good work!
This show has seriously made me rethink how I feel about Jay Leno. Ive honestly never liked Jay due to the whole Tonight show fiasco and just him as a talk show host in general turned me off. But this show really brings out his true passion. I wish he had just done this all along. When I watch this show I really like him and he just does a bloody good job.
What a beautiful car. Honestly one of my dream cars. I just hope Ford doesn't loose their way and start creating some crappy cars. So far so good, the GT350 is a beast, and I hope the new GT500 will be a true successor.
Hi from the future were in the Era were ford competition leaves again becuase they can't keep up so its gonna get worse than the S550 I believe
Caroll Shelby will be missed.
Theres something so lovable about the mustangs all of em 65-2024 they have so much charm and ford is still changing them up a lot and making updates i do miss the manual gt500s though
Gonna miss you Jay! I brought home a 2014 GT500 on june 28th of 2013. Best car I've ever owned. Absolute street beast... of course the first thing I did was changed out the goodyears for wider MPSS's. With just a tune, this car is over 700bhp and will throw you back in your seat in 3rd gear doing 80 to 130 mph
Tires? Yes. Tune? Why?
this is still better than a hellcat
larrythaplug, “Better”? No way..they are both incredibly outstanding machines though
Force Times Distance Equals ? Torque It is better, even though it has less horsepower it's more aerodynamic and lighter weight. If you don't believe it, do a bit of research. To be fair to dodge Demon is faster than GT500 though.
John Herbold, you’re incorrect..I don’t need to “look into it”..I love the Trinity 5.8L Shelby GT500, but it is NOT “better” than a HC, & I’m not saying that because I’m a HC owner. The curb weight of the 500 is the one & ONLY thing I wish the HC had. Other than that the HC’s Interior is lightyears better, the brakes on the HC is better, the cooling system of the HC is more efficient, the transmission’S in the HC are better, the IRS in the HC is so superior to the Live rear axle of the 500 it’s not even funny.. You MUST get off of the internet, & go drive a HC Challenger, & go drive a 500, then make a real decision..stop bench racing online, & stop taking your friends words as gospel when it comes to performance cars. I’m giving you a REAL WORLD honest opinion from someone who’s driven both cars..the 13-14 Shelby is an incredible machine, & it is very fast (matter of fact car for car the 500 is virtually just as fast as the Challenger HC), but The ride quality, & the brake feel could’ve been better..the Challenger HC has one of the best ride qualities of any production American performance cars Ever. The seats, the infotainment system, the tech package are incredible. The ACTUAL power, & Torque of the HC’s engine far surpasses what you think it would feel like! Yes the advertised HP is 707, & the TQ is supposedly 650, but there’s a reason that Bone Stock HC’s dyno at 650-670 Wheel HP, & 600-615 Wheel TQ, because the true crank #’s are closer to 760hp/710tq..the only compliment I personally have about the HC is that they should’ve came equipped with 20x11front wheel wrapped in 305/35/20’s, & a 20x12 rear wheel wrapped in 335/35/20’s (not 305’s, not 315’s, but yes 335’s on the rear).. Do yourself a favor, & don’t even mention the 13-14 500 in the same Breath as a Demon. Stock for stock the Demon is a purpose built Drag Strip Monster that will embarrass any stock 13-14 500..you can definitely mode a 500 to run faster than the Demon, but hell you can mod a Honda Civic to run faster than a Demon too
Force Times Distance Equals ? Torque obviously the 13 gt500 won't compare to the demon but just wait until the new gt500 comes out and smokes the demon
kalex214, for your sake I hope you’re correct, because for some reason you’re way to wrapped up emotionally into the mustang..believe it or not, there’s more than enough room for all performance car. Brand loyalty is a horrible thing when it comes to performance cars. It only makes you come across as small & petty
Shelby GT500, Awesome muscle car...Legend
Normally I hate burnouts. But man, this was something else. I loved it!
Jay Leno has exactly the same interest in cars as myself, what a great guy and the stories he can tell about certain cars is amazing
The 2019 gt500 is coming out in 6 days I literally can’t wait
So stoked.
Jay are you getting a 2015 Shelby GT350?! I'd love to see you bring in a Shelby specialist to talk about it almost as much as seeing you shred the tires!!
Jay Leno is so awesome, he's so humble in the way he talks.
Great vid! great car, i love the boss 302 always have but the gt 500 has its place everywhere.
I can just imagine the trouble I would get myself into with that car. 2014 GT500 in Deep Impact Blue is my new dream car (replacing the 2004 Terminator Cobra in Screaming Yellow).
termi is sexy AF tho....
Definitely, I would love to have one in my garage if I was stupid rich. But nowadays they are just too old, abused and somehow still overpriced for what they are, and the interiors are definitely dated. You can either get a 11 year old Cobra with 70k miles and 390 hp for $20k or get a 2011 Coyote with 30k miles and 412 hp for $22k.
+Alex Leyva (WJawd) amen brother I want a cobra so bad but they are all very over priced
Now if I could just fit that GT500 motor in my 2004 Ranger?
if you cant put it in the bed? not as practical but it would be interesting.
Twin turbo a 351W for vastly less money, but much more power...
Jay I love cars, I know you don’t even prolly look at these comments, but you could make a 50 year old guys dream come true, letting me come and spend an hour with you, and maybe drive one of your American muscle cars, but in reality there are so many more guys deserving of that, I.e. guys and gals that have served, god bless you and your family. Cheers from Canada.
Had a 2011 gt500 with 500hp. Great fun, loved that supercharger whine. Had to watch that squirrelly rear end.
Finally in 2015 the Mustang will have Independent Rear Suspension. Bout time.
+1 I used to like ford ´couse they always were a step forwar on american cars, specialy whit the Ford GT ....but ther were so behind, was time to "catch" the Z28. Dont havin IRS its just an excuse for "lazyness" from the company
So it's pretty much throw in an IRS and sacrifice the looks of the Car (not really that tough looking anymore (compared to the 2014), looks more like a Ford Fusion 2.0 with a Mustang Logo when looking from the front)
Something had to be done. The way it looked before was great, but the Mustang has been a crap car for a lot of years now...same as just about every American car. Anything other than a straight line and it was useless.
KenShao do a search and watch some videos. I can't remember every detail but: Full motion independent suspension, and not the McPherson front strut assy, complete redesign similar to the old FN-10/MN-12 chassis. The '03-'04 terminator had the "thrown in IRS", this is all new everything. All new chassis Lower profile wider more powerful full feature interior with upholstered surfaces.
Independent rear suspension may be good for the ride, but off the line and dragging, the wheels can skip and hop. Hopefully that will be properly addressed, otherwise leave it alone. Read reviews of the IRS ATV's, they ride OK on rough trails but are no fun as its harder to control burn outs and slides. This comes from a previous Cobra owner and current BMW M5 owner.
its funny how the camera dont show under the hood very long. I see one at work in our show room and I have to stop every and stare at it. The motor on this car is soo amazing to look at words cant describe it. 50K seams like alot of money but you get a car that kicks soo much ass. You can spend 35 40 on a new truck and nobody says a word but 50k on a car like this is crazy I think not. I would love to own the one at work.
the new Z28 is a ripoff. 77K with air conditioning and radio included. 75K without it. the only innovative thing about it is the breaks and the LS7 engine.
$50+K IS a lot for a unibody throw away Mustang...
I work at a Hyundai dealership, and a guy traded in a 2013 super snake mustang and an SRT-10 ram for 2 sonata hybrids. That snake is one of the few cars ive driven that scared me. SO MUCH TORQUE!
Just got my 2021 gt500 and it's a magnificent car. But I also have a 2013 gt500 and it's so much fun to drive. It's a monster even left as stock. Great job ford.
Clearly the horsepower wars of the 60s were just skirmishes compared to what we have now. Sooner or later there will be an ultimate. Wonder what it'll be.
@zro I don't see 1000hp being the norm anytime soon. I live in a pretty expensive city and the average hp here is probably 250.
I am pretty new to cars. Are they still making these or no? '14 is the latest correct?
they make the new Shelby GT350 & GT350R, but they'll be coming out with the new boss 302 shortly.
@@begtodiffer13 we did eventually get a new GT500
Hello from the future. Yes, the GT500 returned.
Last of the Manuals yes! I have a 14 Vert and ill likely die with it~!
I LOOOOVE my 2014 GT500. It's my dream car!
Thanks You Jay! For keeping Shelby's dream alive! Love your show!
Dear Santa, i want a shelby
At 1:32 it says "cheif engineer. It's spelled" chief" lol
Its people like you Jeff that keep our world turning. Thank you for doing what you do over at the greatest automobile company in the world. Happy holidays to you and your family brother, cheers.
Happy to say I make these cars everyday! Thanks Jay for such a nice reveiw on our cars. I also wish I had one but like most I have a house & kids so maybe one day but to those how can afford one & have got one Thanks for supporting me & my family & Ford Motor Company..
That's actually pretty cheap for what it is. Plus you get a warranty on those 662 horses
ford needs to put out the 429 mustang
oh lawwwwd i wish i had atleast a half of this car. and jay leno does better reviews than so many out there i like how he always puts random info or historic info about older version cars you learn a lot from him.
thank you jay for a great video, loved the tribute to carroll shelby at the end.
Interesting way of spelling chief at 1:33.
+Tristan Knaus I did not even notice :D LoL
interesting that you noticed and had to comment...got 2 outstanding mustangs to view plus others and your looking for spelling errors
While a stick is much more fun to drive, they are a pain in the ass and nothing but an inconvenience in stop and go traffic.
Agreed ....should hv atleast made boss in automatic. ...would increase sales ....Shelby i understand. ..atleast the new 5.0 comes in automatic
No automatics in anything as far as I'm concerned. Even my diesel pickup has a 6 speed on the floor.
Gotta love the Shogun Festiva in the background! Love Leno's collection!
My mother owns a 1994 Festiva. She bought it almost brand new (1995). Every time I see the Shogun, I laugh to myself, because hers is such a little dinky, slow car. But man, is the engine reliable. Still running strong all these years later.
Thank you for not disrespecting Ford and Chevy. Even though you are not a fan of them in particular, you still respect them and don't talk smack. In return I as a Ford fan, respect you as a dodge fan and all mopars.
I'll take the 302 Boss
+Ian Townsend I have the same boss I love my car
Boogey man what? besides the fact that it has forged cams, ported heads different valve springs and a completely forged bottom end...you sir are bugging out the 302 motor is capable of holding over 800wheel where as the regular 5oh about 600-650
i like the performance, i just hate the body.
I feel the same. Ford is releasing the "Ford GT" model in 2015 I've read... but its gonna break 6 figures :(
***** Really??? Tell me more about that, please. I'm also a ford fan. :)
***** And it's got a 3.5 Liter turbo 6. Why can't they just take this motor and drop it in there?
Vladpryde Because thats the whole persona of the "Mustang" name. Big,Loud, fast V8. That's why i hate the new mustangs with the V6 option and the new 4 cylinder turbo. Great motors in any other car but not the mustang. The Ford GT's persona revolves around being the best street legal racing car that Ford can make so putting a Twin Turbo 3.5L V6 is a super smart thing to do, in the GT. Keep that motor away from the mustang.
most people go crazy for the retro style bodies but if thats not your thing then the new mustangs might be right up your alley
For someone that was also 14 when the mustang came out, I can tell you, it was exactly like Jay said. Another thing, it is great to hear an engineer say foot pounds. That is the correct term and always has been, not pound feet.Some guy in England said that term on television and now people think he must be right.
I love it how you're soo enthusiastic after soo many years
RIP Carol Shelby January 11, 1923 - May 10, 2012 You will always be remembered as an automotive legend/icon. Thank You for the inspiration and and motivation you have given us all in the automotive industry that will be followed and remembered for years to come. We all miss you.
Great Legacy you left behind Caroll, You'll have a dear spot in all of our hearts. Thank you for all the amazing cars you gave us
Jay, your Ford corner is AMAZING! I ❤ those cars you have!
Does Leno have a charmed life, or what? Rich, famous, and a real car enthusiast with the means to have a car collection like no other!
Jay does the best burnouts.
Same situation. In college as well... When I'm out of college, & when the engine & transmission is out, I think I'm going to swap out the 3.8 for a 4.0 or 5.0. It's my first Mustang & I love to death. I don't even let anyone touch the car when it's waxed. For now it's awesome to own it, the exhaust is incredible for a V6. oh and the looks of envy I get from girls are priceless! The guys face are just evil... But yeah I plan on keeping it for a long time!
"An engine like this one is more efficient than a small one screaming it's head off" I couldn't agree more. Some cars have to rev up to 9k rpm to get the same horsepower of a LS7 or a Mustang V8 and they have less torque. The GT500 was able to aquire 662 hp without hitting the guzzler tax. That's amazing. I want to see a 2015 Ford GT40 with this engine
I just love listening to you Mr. Leno
I decided to go Ford.. no bailout.. and because its such an iconic car with so much racing History... Bought my 2013 GT with Track Pack... very happy camper here. Thanks for making such a great product.
2020 and i still watch it again & again . . ITS LAST REAL CARROL SHELBY GT500
that interior of that Shelby looks amazing!!
i love Jay Leno and his garage
Another camaro killer, thanks for sharing Jay
Awesome show loved the episode
Great video Jay .
Love this car! Can't wait for spring!
This car is a war machine, I love the Shelby
The sound is Beautiful!
Love my 2013 Boss never any issues daily driven such a great car Ford mustang for life...
Jay goes "thank you ford for making them all manual!" Ford: lets make the new GT500's automatic only
God Speed Carol Shelby. You left us as NUMBER ONE!!!! A true American Legend.... Thanks Jay and Jamal for the test drive.
This Mustang is a fitting tribute to such an iconic individual. Thank you SVT.
God bless Carroll Shelby. American icon. American hero. Good on ya, Jay.
I really like the paint job, it's beautiful.
