The Ford man STILL giggles when you hit it ! That’s a car guy.
I was driving fast in my 03 gt and my hood almost came up😂🙈luckily I had 1 hood pin in👀I started laughing. That was a close one
Best video I seen man love my mustang can’t wait to get the gt500 😎🤙
I don’t care what brand you’re loyal to....that’s an incredible car.
I like everything about it, except I never dug the rear and that front Cobra badge (black would be tougher).
yupppp!
Will Roberts - you want luxury buy luxury. This GT500 has never been luxury but it has always been a performance bargain. It’ll embarrass a lot of super cars.
@Will Roberts if you're buying a 700 hp car for the interior you're doing it wrong lol
non car guys are brand loyal
I love Leno. Has a 90K Mustang with more horsepower than anyone ever needs next to him and he's talking about the handling, balance, and sensible performance of the ecoboost model. Real car guy.
Yeah, just a normal guy. Give me a break, this stuff strokes his ego and he isn't doing this for free.
Jay is like your dad, in the sense that he retells the same stories over and over, and you just smile and nod and pretend it’s the first time you’ve heard it
Yeah he told that Viper story in his GT350 video as well.
He’s such a denimmite
*Grandpa
😆🤣 that's exactly right !!!
More like my late Grand pa, I will listen attentively as if it's something brand new
"Legally I have to say you gotta use track mode on the track only" 10 minutes later "Now that you're in track...."
Lol
Hahaha!! I know Right!!
Lol
As the guy said, for "official documentation." Liability protection. Wink wink!
The Ford manager has a great personality and professionalism !
This is the guy that Ford put in charge 7 yrs ago to launch the s550 mustangs. ..
@@jaytodd5809 who is this guy Jay? Thanks for info on him. One of best dudes Jay has had in his car
@@stephenbrody2717 its Dave Pericak..check out the Ford documentary " A Faster Horse" really great info there
@@jaytodd5809 it makes sense b/c dodge really outdone themselves w the hellcats and discontinued now demon
He kinda lost me when he said "No manual, The DCT will shift faster than you ever could" I don't think he realizes that's not the point of a manual anymore.
Jay stabs the throttle, the designer laughs, everytime. That guy enjoys his job. 👍🏼
Wouldn’t you
Fr that’s my dream job
He must've heard that engine thousands of times. Still enjoys it.
That's a nervous laugh
@@SCORP1ONF1RE "ehheh heh eeh AAAAAAH!! IDON`TWANNADIIIE!!! I mean ehheheh" *sweats*
What a great rep for Ford. You can tell he really loves what he’s doing
Yes and knowledgable, he's definitely not a suit and tie beancounter.
I really appreciate how professional and polite this man is with his "Yes sir" towards Jay Leno
Nick Nick fr jay leno is annoying asf
He's a good dude. Tell he loves cars alot
😂😂😂
@@beto5ohh then dont watch this channel, its pretty simple
@@beto5ohh fr u ah anyng af dde lk cn u stfu btchass
When Jay Leno is comparing your Fords to McLarens. That's how you know you've done your job, beyond well.
Flying Monkey not only mclarens but an F1 jays favorite car and the car he said is perfect
Actually McLarren's, Ferrari's and Lamborghini's reliability is pretty piss poor at best. I love to look at them but I would never own one to actually drive a lot.
@@whpony96 Good point Scott, I realized this is true even with women, I often use prostitutes and they are unreliable so I love to rent them occasionally but everyday driver is my wife
@@Rhyme905 bro WHAT
Rhyme905 😂😂😂😂 im ded
I saw Jay at a Panda Express in Burbank. He said hi and was genuinely cool. Always see him around town- always waves. Real legend. Next Bob Hope of Burbank.
I wonder what he eats at Panda Express...
@@mikionorton2236 Peking duck
Lmao funny you say that because I always see him around burbank,sun valley,and north Hollywood area in different old cars Everytime,and you’re right he’s always waving at everyone lol 😂 even if you don’t wave back 😂
This cars is my dream car. Hands down the most impressive mustang ever made. The power....the cooling systems the engineering on this is outrageous
how about the looks!
2020 GT350 is better i o in so many ways..ya 500 has more power but 350 is old school 6 speed and analog gauges. has same block as 500....same flat plank as gt350r just amazing
I agree. I have an obsession with this car. Especially this beautiful black one
Bro this is my favorite car too. It is hard to say between this and the 2023 Dodge Challenger hellcat srt
Fastest car in the world 0-100 so it is, in acceleration terms, unbeatable
Guy tells emotional story about his greatest achievement in life. Jay: BRAHHHHHHHHHHH
Stevo Tulls honestly that’s exactly what I was thinking 😂😂😂
He does that all the time. Irks me so much. Like at least acknowledge his story even if you just say something “oh cool”
Jay is a sociopath and that's how we like him.
It’s a show about cars. Who cares about the sappy stories!
@@ChangeHumanity it doesn't matter what's the show about. When he was hosting his late night show, he rarely got exited about any of his guests.
I honestly love how proud he is of his car!
GENERAL DISARRAY'S BOSS 83 the owner lol
@GENERAL DISARRAY'S BOSS 83 the best machine I ever had mustang. Shelby cobra gt 500
It's a great car
He is too proud of the auto trans and thats NOT what I want. I dont care how fast it shifts. No auto that exists is as fun as a manual.
@@wretchedslippage3255 get a gt350
How can you not smile when watching Jay Leno drive the most awesome Mustang!! Dave Pericak has one of the best jobs on the planet!
Finally a guy who speaks Jay. Instant best friends. What a BEAST! Awesome car.
Dave Pericak, as the chief engineer for this car, is on a completely different (higher) level than Mr. Leno. That he restrained himself from smiling at some of the inane questions/observations is admirable.
@@kenhoward3512 I would hope, as Chief Engineer, Mr. Pericak is in fact much more knowledgeable than Jay regarding the car. I just appreciate Jay's passion.
Dude starts telling a long story Jay hits the gas "Sorry, didnt mean to interrupt your story." 😂😂😂
Lol best way to shut someone up when you're driving!
Yet jay tells a story every time
@Brad Suarez... Best comment yet! LOL
xCkillaxC All the time.
I noticed that on a few of his videos 😁
Ford had to send a guy who knows everything he is talking about, because he was going to JAY LENO
To be fair, Dave Pericak is the guy who who lead the development of this generation of Mustang and I believe he's the head of the Ford Performance division, so it only makes sense.
@@Omen_Seven too bad this generation of Mustang is so damn frickin ugly. The last gen were where it's at for a modern Mustang.
I disagree I think it's the best looking generation
BA people can argue about the front end, but the rear end on this gen is the nicest rear end since ‘68
Jay Leno is a little clueless. Asking if the car is a DOHC? Was is this? 1990? Or claiming Europeans mostly do torque converters? Every car enthusiast know what PDK the fact that it's a benchmark.
These two should have their own show!! Their on screen chemistry is amazing!!
Im a Mopar guy but damn... Ford Just nailed this one. 👌🏽
I don't know what is wrong with me. This car does nothing for me while seeing or even smelling a Hellcat makes it hard to stand!
It only took them a couple decades, but this is what a Mustang is supposed to be
Funny how every few years we keep repeating that. What next a 1000hp GT500 as a last great hoorah to a ICE Mustang?
A couple of decades? They figured out this since the 60's.
I've loved the Mustang since I was a kid. The 95 Cobra was beautiful.
Josh Miller I mean, except for the mid 80s...
They made airplanes during WW2. Way ahead of the game.
Anyone else see jay’s heart sink, when he said “no manual, dual clutch only”?
lol
Matt Livo Automatic are faster anyway. I love sticks but the 2019 GT manual pissed me of. The neutral spring is too stiff. I missed 2 second gear a few times. Now i c y people keep ducking up the transmission.
Manuals will soon be a thing of the past. The few companies that still produce them for sports cars do it for the middle aged market.
You buy a car like this for the driving experience. An automatic is not an experience. I will not be buying one, and I'm a Ford guy who waited for this car. I will be purchasing a manual Dodge Challenger Redeye.
Matt Livo a dual clutch is better for lap times . And probably better developed for the torque this thing produces.
Jay: “mY mEcLaReN F1...” Me: dreams of even owning a mustang
I felt that😭
Me too bro
You'll get there one day, man. Just work hard, work on improving your credit score, and you'll be in a Mustang with an everlasting smile every time you punch the throttle in no time. I just bought my first Mustang a few months ago. I love every second of it.
@@AmishGangsta404 ❤️ thanks bro
@@AmishGangsta404 A used hot Mustang is a good bet.
The guy has a genuine smile every time Jay punches it. 🇺🇸💪🏻
That dude has the "cop stance" at all times.
Thought that Jay was under arrest the whole time.
yep , but nice guy nonetheless
I think he was just nervous and its best to stick to one stance if you dont want to seem nervous to viewers
Copsplaining.
Jay will be lucky if the dude doesn't sue him for whiplash :)
Man oh man,..Mustang v8s are some of the literal best sounding motors on earth!
Can't do that with a plug in
Wow even literal
Hemi?
Motors are electric... That's an engine good sir.
@@blackice7408 .....Mustang And Have you heard a Shelby Super Snake or a Ford GT or GTX1
That has to be one of the most aggressive looking and sounding cars out there, a beast.
i bet it's got a 5 year lifespan
I’m 22 and drive a 2017 V6 s550 mustang and I absolutely love it, I can’t even imagine how it would feel to drive this monster. One day I’ll own a Shelby like this, I don’t doubt it for a second.
Well, as Jay says @15:15, the 300 hp Mustangs are absolutely fun. Enjoy what you have for now, they are all great cars.
At a fraction of the price of a GT500 you can boost a GT and have a monster on your hands. I got a 17 GT with a Roush Phase 2 and its fantastic. No GT500 but still over 700 HP and a lot of fun
"You can go from quiet.. to really loud. And really loud in this car is.. *really loud* " Such poetry.
They are car guys not writers
@@technom3598 you don't say!
This thing looks absolutely sinister in all black.
It does! The stripes look horrible!
I like the dark silver metallic with the black carbon fiber hood and wheels. I think this thing looks badass in any color lol.
Would look better in Kona Blue!
Anodizing the exhaust tips so they are black would help match with the carbon fiber wheels. And alleviate the need to polish them.
That was the first thing that came to my mind. It's mean.
Guys telling heart warming story about LeMans, Jay mashes the throttle! Brilliant! 😂👏
I just commented a similar thing I knew I wasn’t the only one 😂
I love the trend of carbon fiber wheels. I remember putting 18" chrome wheels on my last Mustang, and they weighed a ton, even compared to the stock wheels. You're probably talking about a 100+ lb difference between that and carbon fiber. That's a game-changer.
At the end: Jay: "Dave, I think you have the coolest job in the world" **says the guy who Ford delivered a pre-production GT500 + director to his front doorstep** lol. Such an awesome car, they really did a nice job with it. The Redeye hellcat is still dropping a fair bit more power, but there's probably like 700lbs weight difference between them so this may beat it out anyway...and the hellcat will never turn like this will, I reckon. Very cool stuff. Love it.
Well both are very different cars. Dodge is all about being crazy and always being the king at the quarter mile. Dodges are probably the purest muscle car experience you can still get. Mustangs and Camaros have gone more into the sports car territory (even if they were pony cars and not muscle cars) If you want to have fun the Redeye definitely gives you that. But the mustang is also a track car that still has muscle DNA.
It's only 200-300 pounds lighter, BUT it has a dual clutch transmission. So its gonna be quite a bit quicker of the line. Also who knows! Maybe itll be quicker in the quarter mile and on the drag strip. We already know it will be alot better in the turns, like on a road course or whatever. But if it beats the hellcat and hellcat redeye on the road course, AND the drag strip then ill be really impressed. Blown away actually. That would be very impressive!
I pray to St Leno to Protect my car and keep it safe. ;)
Because this isn't a job to Jay, he's "just" an old fashioned Car Guy with a youtube channel... and a tv show... and the best connections in the business... and an incredible automobile museum-er-garage... nevermind, you're right.
10.8 at 131 for red eye, 10.61 at 133 for gt500.
What a great representative to have. There are a lot of “company” guys who try talk about cars, who know only what they read on the flight over. This guy knew what he was talking about, great job! Position well deserved 🇺🇸.
It's just a prime example that we need to employ people in jobs/occupations that they love, instead of forcing people to work a job they hate just to get a paycheck. If everyone enjoyed their job, they would be happy to go to work. They would do better in that position than someone that doesn't care about it. And that goes for every industry. What we have in the world now, is people scattered into occupations they hate, and they end up doing that their whole lives. Wasting potential, wasting their talents, and making people miserable. Society has expanded too fast for us to do it properly. We should genuinely consider options to restructure the work force around the country/world if we want humanity to succeed.
@@enigmaPL You are so right.
@@enigmaPL I've thought this for years,an college is way over expensive to go back as you get older with a family.Unless you know someone that knows someone that's about the only way to get in.
Not just a representative. Dave was the project lead for the S550 Mustangs.
Booplesn00t yup the chief engineer, I like him
My all time favorite car! Absolutely Incredible. The 2016 Ford Shelby GT350, GT350R is also Absolutely Amazing.
Even as a Camaro fanboy, this is an amazing car. Definitely wouldn’t mind owning one.
Dave at the crescendo of a heart felt story ** Leno floors it ** "Sorry"
caught him off guard by the look on his face lol
Hehe
That’s when the driving is good.. when the passenger might as well be a suitcase for a moment.
I liked the story
..you mean he tapped the gas pedal a bit...if he floored it , those tires would scream for mercy
Nobody: Jay: this reminds me of my McLaren F1
Every single video XD I bet he was thinking of the McLaren when he found out it was a dual clutch and not a manual as well lol
Jay really loves the F1, he is a real car guy and appreciates everything in that car
@@druidofthefang yeah the F1 is fully manual V12 light weight monster.... I need to see one with my own eyes
@@SangheiliSpecOp you will be shocked at how small it is. The car is very very small.
@@technom3598 Yeah I'm always shocked by seeing any exoticnup close. My favorite car is the Lamborghini Aventador (what a phenomenal design even 8 years later) and when I saw it up close, it was definitely big but it has such a "shrinkwrapped" design about it that most of these cars have to save weight or as least, as Lamborghini admits, "looks like" it is lightweight. All of the buttons on the interior are all tiny and that car in particular is less than four feet tall. There was one car video I saw, I can't remember if it was from Gumbal, NM2255 or Bozzy but it showed the F1 next to other modern supercars and it almost looked like a toy car
I recently just started liking the new mustangs, I always thought they were trash because of what I see online but now realized they may be wrong, this is a beautiful car inside and out
I love Jay's relaxed, bored face when he pulls. Experience man.
He could probably go back to doing late night and smoke all the current crowd. I'm betting he has no need for money....
Yes no need for money at all . He only spends 50 million a year on cars
Damn. The first time seeing one in Black and it looks soo damn aggressive.
Once you go black, you never go back...
Looks great in all black
I'm absolutely no doubt about it a stripe guy, and, if I was about to drop some cold hard cash on one of these(...may be just a weeee bit outta my price range at the moment...) and had to go through and check the boxes, I would probably end up going matte black stripes on black base - but, if two black ones were sitting side by side, one with stripes and one without... ...oh man, I just don't know... They just KILLED IT with the design and styling! It seems like when anyone does a 'wide body' for a high performance varient, they tend to exaggerate it or over emphasize it; but, this is just a very focused, cohesive design all the way around. Even the carbon fiber usage; carbon fiber can look as gawdy as swaths of chrome can, but, even with all exposed(clear coated) carbon wheels, it's just in all the 'right places' without just being scattered everywhere "...cuz high performance car and carbon fiber is high performance, so the door panels have to be all carbon fiber[even though we just put the carbon on top of a standard door panel so it doesn't actually save any weight...]"
It seems that the super snake (2013-) is been up in value lately....
Well I've seen black 350s even in person. And it does look great but its still not too different to having it in another color. For this though it turns into a different car in Black. Well it is true that any car looks good in black, the only problem is that it's hard to keep it clean. Well the stripes are quite an essential part of a Shelby but in this case I don't mind at all.
Dave explaining something: Jay: BRRERRRAAAAP....BRRRRRAAAP
LOL
😂😂😂
The best Mustang built to date! Got to love the mode-setter switches! 100% DREAMING TO DRIVE THIS AWESOME CAR!
I love everything about this! The car, the people, the video! This is awesome!!
I Love how Jay always goes back to his 400HP Viper Story anytime his reviewing a new high HP car 😂👍🏻
The MG Channel 😂😂😂
11:30 LOL Jay: Track Mode on the street? Rep: I have to say No but some of us might elect to do that. *Stares at camera*
LOL
...subtle, but for those who caught it- poignant!!! LOL!! (In the b/g, Johnny cash begins to be heard...)
I love that supersnake badge. I think it perfectly reflects the monstrous power.
Great stuff! I got my 2020 GT500 9 months ago. Just started a page myself. I admire the work you guys do. Keep it up👍
Dave Pericak: “This thing goes around corners.” *crowd backs up*
confused crowd noises
LOL -- I don't think Mustang's going around corners is the problem -- its the curbs, bystanders and other vehicles that becomes the issue. :)
Lolololol
best comment here!!
That crowd n Mustang joke is real old
it's funny how jay always looks like he's sleeping and then he just floors it
HardNougat he probably does it to keep himself awake.
That's hella funny
I literally laughed out loud I was thinking the same thing
Factssss😂😂
so true
The torque on this thing when you get on it seems optimal for Jay's horizontal line of sight. Head gets pinned back but those slumpy eyes are dialed in.
What a concept: "Give the customer what they want." Anathema to the "Nanny State." A real pleasure listening to dialog between two men at the top of the pyramid in their fields, sharing their love of superior automobiles. This Shelby GT is amazing!
HE SAID THE DODGE VIPER STORY AGAIN!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
He has told that “cold air package” many times too 😂
@@smcic lol
I had £10 that when he opened the bonnet he was going to mention the Monte Carlo bar ....let down.
@@briangreen6602 LMAO YUP - I was seriously waiting for it! I'll listen to Jay tell these same stories for another 200 or 500 or whatever episodes though!
I have a running joke when at swap meets etc...I'll point out a random car part and say" Well, my Mclaren F1"
I'm a Porsche man. I'm sold on my car. But, dear God, this man is an excellent salesman. Props to his charisma and ability!
He's the chief engineer for this car. He's way beyond the typical marketing guy Jay speaks to (and way beyond Jay).
Still a mustang tho. To me it will always remind me of the hertz parking lot
@@essel23fly its a shelby dude... dont compare with a normal mustang
@@essel23fly you must live a super sad life
@@BasedNeptune He has a good point. Shelby name isn’t a joke. It’s already a huge insult that the Ford GT won against a Ferrari. It’s actually a insult and a embarrassment. The Shelby owns a lot of cars and the start price once the economy hopefully goes back to normal will be 72k. Which is a good price to beat a lot of cars.
Ive worked on these at work (nothing big just maintenance) and man do they sound amazing in person
I work for ford as a detailer, and today we had to get on ready for delivery, oxhorn white with blue stripes it was a beast. Wish I had $80,000 laying around cause man she purred and when you rev it man. I didn't take it on the road since all I do is clean them up, buff sometimes and drive them to customer parking but yes my new dream car.
The police just mails Jay Leno the tickets.
Or, he hits up the detectives that he took for a ride in his McLaren F1, to just make it go away....😏
@@siccmade425 I remember him telling that story.
People in that club don't get tickets
@Chris Piper LOL!
more like "Jay tell us where you want us to cut off the traffic so you can hit the gas!"
Jay "you'll never see 400hp again" Leno
Christian Hinz its true though , I remember those days:)
Christian Hinz 🤣😂🤣
Jay "I remember when..." Leno
I've never heard that story before..
But it reminds me of my McLaren F1
Amazing and beautiful car . That exhaust note and throwback power ❤.
I got to drive one of these on the 9th of Oct, around a racetrack with curves, (3 times) and straightaways. The power doesn’t seem to have an end, it just keeps accelerating! It was the most awesome driving experience I’ve ever had. My Sons got this for me for my birthday. Best birthday present ever. Also, Thanks to my driving coach “Fast Freddy” @ Extreme Experience! ***when it shifted from 6th to 7th at over a 100, the back end broke loose, fishtailed a little, and self-corrected!
I know this is an old comment but why did the back break loose at almost 100 mph??
How many times is he interrupted by “BRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAP”
Imagine the smell...
Braaaaaap!
Jay's short attention span, couple of minutes and all he hears is blah, blah,blah.
Looked like he was close to whiplash a couple of times as well. Damn that thing pulls hard and instant.
Not enough
Dave: "You know Jay, if I put this in quiet mode, you could drive this all day long." Jay: " Right, right.: and never touching the exhaust button.
Great video Jay, and absolutely wonderful to hear from Dave Pericak. Great guy and great achievement.
I love how knowledgeable you are you seem to be very intelligent and by the way thank you for showing all of your beautiful cars
After watching the end of the muscle car era of the 70's, I'm so happy to finally see the US auto makers continue the horse power and performance wars. Its a great time to be alive !!
The last great hoorah for american ICE performance. Next up boring and quiet electric cars.
Not anymore lol Coronao Coronao
🤦♂️
@@MrBinks-un8ju Electric cars aren't boring unless you find great performing and handling cars boring. Yeah, complain about sound blah blah, but Evs are going to have their own unique sounds and noises, that will become iconic with time.
@Austin King I mean maybe stock cars, Teslas are gonna fall behind at the strip to people who modify their cars. Look at the stock GTs. there are thousands of ways to modify those cars, at the moment Teslas have almost no aftermarket modifications. Also theirs a saying that has been true for ages, there is no replacement for displacement.
The guy genuinely laughs with joy every time jay punches the throttle 😂😂😂
Id imagine the power you feel in passenger seat is like a roller coaster.
As did Jay...
This Machine is far more than I can imagine from the 1969 cobra jet 428 of my youth I would be proud to own such a engineering marvel . David Sr.
Dave is a car guy through and through! He was not only insanely technical on every aspect of the vehicle but he is really enjoying talking about this project. The story on Le Mans was truly one that is a script for Ford vs. Ford Le Mans! I can’t imagine how Dave felt hearing the story standing there while Edsel Ford is talking about not only a page out of his memory but actual Motorsport legend. To say we will do our very best to put the trophy in your hands must have felt a little overwhelming to say as well as a huge amount of stress. I would love to know what Edsel thought about what Dave said, did he think it was truly possible or just another very passionate Ford employee telling him what he would like to hear but in the pit of Edsel’s stomach knowing the extraordinary feat that must be achieved to make that commitment a reality. Jay, I didn’t like him as much as the host of the Tonight Show(I don’t like most of them btw)but I love him doing this show. I work in the automotive sector, I LOVE what I do and I have an extreme passion for it. I have worked in this field since 1998 and Jay’s knowledge on such a wide amount of vehicles makes me feel like i am in the first year of High School listening to a Professor who has a Doctorate in Automotive. Thank you Jay and thank you David! Brian
Jesus he's still driving. He must have actually LOVED this car. This is the longest I've ever seen him drive a car in any of his videos.
Same thing I was thinking history right here
And he floored the car a lot more than usual. He didn’t even complain about it being a paddle shift car 😂😂😂
He's got a good passenger too - this guy you could tell in the first TV special he was in loved cars and performance.
He's in the car for 19 minutes - longer than each of the 5 most viewed videos on this channel. And still going at the end.
Jay is just getting a good feel for his next car in his collection😀
In 15 years, Jay is going to be going 30 mph no matter what car he's driving, and swerving all over the place. And I'll still watch every episode.
And he'll still be continually referring to "back in the sixties..."
Hopefully
I think: in another 15 years, Jay will still be able to smash the throttle & drive hard...
Im a 5.0 fox body guy hands down my fav pony BUT THIS. So sweet, so beautiful, great engineering went towards this built
So I bought the 2015 ecoboost new. And I absolutely love it. And the fact Jay says he loves it, makes me feel validated that even though it's not a V8 mustang, it's still a mustang. I'm very much in love with mustangs. Yeah I didn't get a V8 but I still got a mustang.
Im just happy the guy knows what he's talking about
Unlike that women from Aston Martin. 😬
I would hope so. He was the head of the S550 mustang project and is now leading the way at Ford Performance.
But does he
In an age where so many people don't know what they are talking about, (in every industry IMO), and most can't tell the difference when listening,--yea, a breath of fresh air.
Compared to the Scion FRS doofus, yeah, I like this guy.
It is interesting while Ford is doing a big press intro in Vegas, they actually bring a GT500 and the director of icons to his garage for him to drive. That says a lot of where Jay Leno ranks in the eyes of the automotive enthusiast world.
AMAZING CAR and I've been lucky to see 1 in person and got a full tour of the car .....but they should come in manuals to
I underappreciated this car. Corvette driver who tried to buy a C8 (which is a great car...but not for the ADM you have to pay if you're not willing to wait 18 months). After doing a little searching, picked up a base GT500 last weekend and so glad I have the opportunity to experience this car for however long I decide to keep it.
Jay: ”And it runs on pump gas” Fordguy :”Ye it does” Jay: ”And it meets emissions” Fordguy: (Just a small nod)
Just a Swede !! Lol
lmaoooo
- What's the fuel economy? - Yes
Just a Swede !! Classic
Jay "you can turn the exhaust Valve to quite if you live in a townhome" lol anyone who lives in a townhome can't afford this car.
When Jay says "Can we take it out?" I'm waiting for someone to say No!
This happened recently, an older lady would not let him drive her car, I believe it was on his TV show.
When this generation of Mustang first came out, Dave (same dude as this video) bought over a prototype, and they would not Jay take it out due to it being non road legal.
There is an episode with an old Porsche and the dude did not let Jay drive it, Jay sat in the passenger seat and looked upset. And the Pagani but that one Jay was OK with because Jay really respects Mr Pagani.
VERY IMPRESSIVE and enjoyed from beginning to end. Big thanks!
That being said I do like the looks of the 2020 Mustang Ford really went out big on this thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of machinery
I like how he casually just mentions his McLaren F1 also has that feature.
Jay might be the only guy who actually drives his F1.
P1
He has a p1& f1
Ive heard him reference that car in so many episodes to say its a great car
Rowan Atkinson drives his F1 too!
This video makes me cry because I want one so badly😭😭
Same here, I wanted gt500 for so many years, still cannot afford one.
I need one in my life
Most people can't even get cars like this insured due to their driving records.
The problem is dealers mark them up to over $100,000k. That's NOT what Carroll Shelby was about.
save your money and virginity for something better, bro.
Jay is right on the money about the base model. I rented one and it was really fun to drive.
I recently just saw one 30 minutes ago on Heading west and it's really one of the best looking cars on the road for 2020 hands down 💯 🐎
I had a 1971 Dodge Charger Super Bee in high school. It WAS my dream car. I never thought I'd see the day when I would love a car more than that one. Well here it is! My new dream car.
2 months later, Dodge announced that they were releasing the Charger Hellcat Redeye Widebody.
Blair Brown yeah but I looks like every other dodge but this is a whole new lady
Well Bill, judging by your comment assuming you are older and have some dough. Buy it!
When you were in High School?? Wow.
Bill ! Please tell us you got one !
Wow! And I like the Ford guy, he knows his stuff and has passion!
Yup - I'm addicted to this channel because - most of the time Mr. Leno doesn't bring in PR folks but the designers and lead-techs from the carmakers.
@@mgabrysSF Hell, I don't even think that it's Jay bringing them in at this point - rather I think some of these automakers got burned a couple times by sending PR guys to show off their new car; and Jay just ends up kinda embarrassing them with questions that 'your dad' would ask. Want to actually get a beneficial result out of putting your new car on Jay's show? Then you better bring someone that knows what the hell they're talking about! Now, with that said, Ford has always been good about sending the 'right' people - but that's easy enough to do when you have a high performance division called the "Special Vehicle Team", now 'Ford Performance' of course. I'm not always happy with some of Ford's decision making(...I mean, literally NO CARS for north America that aren't a Mustang or GT? Not even the Focus???), but they have ALWAYS done high performance vehicles right - and, unlike basically the rest of the industry, they're the only ones that see lap times as being secondary to the driving experience.
That's usually how it works

Thank you for the video, because of Scotty Kilmer, I've leaned to appreciate Ford, and because of your video Jay Leno, I've fallen in love with the 2020 Ford Shelby GT500
respect, for all the heritage this is an amazing car.
Dude: "That's correct. This is magnesium." Jay: "Oh, it IS magnesium." **knock** **knock**
His knuckles can do optical spectrometry.
@Evo Shift if you get a radio in the new vette the price goes to 100k..enjoy yourself..we mustang fans will do the same.
Evo Shift The $60k C8 has 300 less horsepower.
@Evo Shift Vette has 495hp. Stang has 760hp. Plus a vette with a few options like z51 put it well over 80K.
@@rbarbetta1978 wrong, C8 with z51 is still under $65k
Jay Leno is the the last best celebrity in Hollywood...God bless him! :)
JFK was our last great president.
He is evil. Google him. Not a good person. Him and James Corden.
I’m a car enthusiast. And I love the challenger, charger, mustang, and camaro. But this gt500 is a monster.
I'm no longer a Mustang owner. But if I did come back, this would be the exact spec I'd own. The black on black stealth look is spot on.
Crowds are going to be floored seeing this leave car meets.
Chill 🤣🤣🤣🤣
there he is every video has its stupid ppl commenting
Dude a mustang was leaving a cars and coffee where I live not to long ago and taking a normal turn they oversteered and flipped over into a ditch I couldn't believe it.
@@tigercinematics thats human error
copy paste comment wonderful dude, you must be a hit with ladies
Love that front end. When it comes around the corner it has such a menacing look and presence.
It doesn't come around the corner, It GOES around the corner.
"...shhh, let's go racing!" @17:32 / 36:11 ~ I love that. Good job Jay and thank you kindly!♥!
Such a dope car. You have to love the GT500 man, you have to. 🔥
Dave Pericak is one of my favorite factory guys that Jay has had on. He seems like such a cool guy, and so smart. It's making me consider getting a Ford.
He's the guy you wish mom was dating when you are 12
@@walterdepriest3258 ha
Yep, me too. Love the guy
Black no stripes is the best!! Thing looks amazing!!
Luisinho white stripes look good af on the shadow black though
@@noahjones3955 Honestly it would be hard to pick
Bullet edition Bright Highland Green GT500???
Organge no stripes is good too
Looks so menacing and sexy at the same time. Lol if that makes sense
I am guessing Jay is getting one of these. Hands down best exhaust of all time.
Love that cars power, look, and VALUE.
