I'm so excited to announce that as a few days ago I have a 2022 Shelby GT500 on order! Something I've been trying to do since 2018. (Before it was unveiled) In this video I explain how I got to this point in the ordering process and why I'm still cautiously optimistic... I also thought it would be fun to mess with the configurator that shows all the new options and reveal my spec. Let me know what y'all think of it! I also wanted to discuss the status of my Lotus Emira orderer towards the end of this video. Lot's of exciting things happening soon! Now I just need to pop open a lemonade stand or something to pay for all this... Thanks for watching!

Just noticed my mistake, I meant to say S197 for the need for speed reference, not S550.

Thank you so much! For the garage situation, worst case is I can have all 4 cars in the garages and the 2 trucks in the driveway. But I do have the ceiling height for a lift, but likely not 2 mustangs. 1 stang and the lotus should be no problem.

@@TexasRevving that's what I was thinking, since the Lotus is shorter. My detached garage is 31x31 and holds 4-5 cars easily, but one car is sideways across the back. It would be easier with a lift in the middle. Could you raise the ceiling a foot or so in the center bay so you can have two lifts? Probably if it isn't a truss system.

Have you thought about doing a fan meet up?

i ordered my22 GT500 Dec 23rd mischievous purple it just got to Vegas june 7th to add signature edition package. it was drop shipped there, i have to pay for the shippment to dealer in Hardeeville, SC so i probably wont get it til end of august

damn that’s what’s up🥳

just subscribed man ! ur awesome, sorry to ask but what do you do for a living!!!

I dig it. You ever come to Atlanta?

Dealer loyalty is very important it pays off, I bought my gt350r and my f450 Platinum from them. I ordered my GT500 a couple of weeks ago. My dealer called and said they were taking orders but they were limited so I rushed down spec'd out my vehicle. The cost is between me and my dealer and I got a pretty good deal. I chose the purple with the carbon fiber track pack and etc. But I'm taking mine to the next level after it's completed is going to Shelby American for the GT500KR and widebody packages, Shelby will add metallic gray stripes. Then on to Palm Beach Dyno for a few more tweaks. I have a few more tweaks and upgrades in mind, plus a few more things I'm looking into but I'm going to keep them to myself.(looking into HJP performance they have a package you might like) I have four other Fords none of them are stock, I can't help it I have a mechanical engineering degree. There's always room for improvement. Good luck with your GT500 I'm sure you'll enjoy it just as much as I'll enjoy mine, once we get them. 😁

I understand, it’s a lot for a Mustang. But when I consider the performance for the dollar, man is awesome. Not everyone will see the value in those painted stripes and carbon fiber pack, that’s where the “standard” car is just a bargain if you can snag one for the mid 80s

Cool you found a good deal. Really rare these days.

Did you get a VIN yet? I ordered mine April 21st and it's on material hold, no VIN

The question is does your home base have room for a pole building because it sounds like you need one soon.

Man I tried to order.No ford dealership in my city will honor Msrp without marking it up🤦🏿‍♂️Congratulations!

Are you getting it for MSRP without a mark up ?

Was there mark up???

The gt500s with the carbon fiber track pack only get build during summer months because the cup 2s will go bad outside in the temperature so idk if you’ll get it in January December time frame if you don’t get it before then it’ll probably be pushed to 2023 summer sadly.

Thank you! As for the C8Z, as of right now I don’t see any possible way to order it. From my experience, dealerships I call hardly even know what it is, and those that do are going to be asking over sticker they just don’t know how much yet. Either that or you join a line with over 100 people on it that have already paid their deposit. On top of all that, I don’t think they came out with pricing yet so who knows when it will hit the streets. I do like it though! Just quite literally impossible right now

Congratulations on ordering what I feel is the best overall factory performance Mustang ever built. With this Possibly being the last run for the GT500. No way would I pass up the GT500 for a C8. The Shelby GT500 is a limited run and should maintain its true value if not increase in value. I'm seeing $70,000 C8s being sold for $100,000 and special order C8s being flipped weeks after taking delivery because some people tie up inventory orders as a business opportunity. A $30,000 markup on a previously owned C8 even with a 1000 miles more or less is ridiculous. Both cars are outstanding, but setting in the GT500's very comfortable cabin, while hearing it's 5 2 predator's very special exhaust note with performance to match gives you a feeling like no other Sports car and that's before feeling the Gs from the acceleration. A fantastic specialty Mustang that would be the first green copy I've seen. Nice choice! .

@@rhatala27 Best of luck man! Should certainly be a true driver’s car! 5.5L FPC is no joke!

Do you still own all the fords? Or only the gt350?

The only thing that would scare me, is you're second in line for a 'golden ticket.' I was second in line for a base car (after owning a 350R I just want a base 500) and pulled the plug. I wasn't going to risk waiting and not getting a car because the dealer had not been allocated any. I was able to find a 5k over $74,555 base price allocation before the 2 price increases (another coming 4/17 at 2k). So basically an msrp deal at this point. I would be looking for a car already allocated in the system, if its in the budget. Unless you're confident a dealer is gonna get 2 golden tickets in an extremely limited allocation environment. Either way, best of luck to you.

Im a flat black kinda guy, I do just about everything in flat black. I know kinda boring but I don't like standing out being 6'3 247lbs kinda already covers that. Anyway congrats dude I hope everything works out for you.

People continue to give in to the dealer mark ups... I guess if somebody wants something bad enough, they will give any amount of money.

Keep the GT350. I have a 2020 GT350R and a 2021 GT500 CFTP. It is making the differences in the cars. They are both S550s but they feel completely different.

Have a 2020 (twister orange / painted stripes ) with track pack and the car is actually a little boring. It is so well settled on the street and the dual clutch makes it so very easy to drive. Had a '14 GT500 tuned and heavily modified, that car wanted to kill you if you made the slightest mistake, provided alot of fizz, the 2020 not so much. Also worried about the carbon fiber wheels on the street , one pot hole and it $7500 out the door...
