2020 GT500 Awesome Video

Yeh, annoying. Pre-Terri, I'd take his sister out.

I also found the kid annoying, so, I am glad to see that others felt the same. I can not pinpoint what it is, aa his content is interesting, and the video quality fine. He also is a fairly good driver up mountain roads and at Big Willow. So, perhaps I am merely hating because he is running around in a 760HP Mustang and, I am not?

Great minds hate alike. Despite his great taste in cars, I think what rubs us the wrong way is the way he talks and carries himself. He just comes off as a smarmy douche (I think that's the scientific term).

No one else liked his sister?

Lund Racing just drove many hours through nasty weather and snow to pick up the white GT500 that they ordered. This is exactly the way I would want a GT500 to look. They then put it on a DynoJet and used SAE with smoothing 5, for results, which is the standard that I like to see. They even showed the graphs in the video. They tested it dead stock and it made the usual stout RWHP number's, so the engine production tolerances appear to crank out almost identical power in all dyno results thus far. Lund changed stuff and did some more dynos, which ended up with over 800 RWHP on E85. Iit was also interesting to see how octane booster increased power, as Ford Racing told me that my own GT would gain appreciable HP using higher octane than CA piss water. Lund even got decent results when they removed the air cleaner, so, it seems that those who want to void their warranty can get some serious additional HP and TQ with a tune and bolt ons since, once again, Ford left headroom in the stock config, assuming 690 RWHP is not sufficient.

The dyno tests are toward the end of the video:

When you said that, I thought you were just making a joke. Like he was a little punk, and you would've dated his sister. I had no idea he actually had one.
Went back to look at his vids. The sister is objectively attractive.

me. Make a joke? That is the 'former me'.

Another side of all the information on line these days is that another rich youtuber got a new GT500 delivered to Las Vegas by truck, from the East Coast, and, it had a failure within the first 50 miles! And, I did not even feel the least bit sorry for the person, who was followed around on his first drive by his Rolls. I did think, who wants a broken new $100000 car? To further compound things, due to the holidays, he did not even leave it at the Ford dealer as it was Christmas eve and they closed early. So, he drove off in one presumes limp mode. It will be interesting to see what kind of treatment he gets under warranty, especially since he bought the car out of state. One would hope that Ford takes better care of him that AV Ford did me, as it took 50 days for AV to finally get a clutch into my car when the initial OEM clutch blew to pieces at 6000 miles. True, AV Ford sucks, but, at the time, Galpin and other Ford dealers were not anxious to work on the car and also stated that it would take awhile. I realize that my GT was not a GT500, but, it was still almost new, and, fully covered under warranty, so, one wonders about how food the waranty is, what with backed up warranty repairs at all the local dealerships and personal experiences.

And, yes, I am still looking for reasons why I should not be at all disappointed that a new GT500 is priced far beyond my humble means.....
