This. Because Steve McQueen.

I was really glad to see Mr. Regular land a column at a known rag:

To answer seriously, in terms of road going modern mustangs.. the 2000 Cobra R and Boss 302 LS would be a pretty close tie.. but I'd likely go Cobra R. Old mustangs.. eh haven't driven enough to say.

Good question. Let me mullet over for a bit

1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake

For me it is the original Shelby GT350.

No question.

MMMMM double clutched upshifts

Camaro...

Can someone explain these tires to me please?

I'm quite fond of the terminators myself.

STRETCHED TIRES BRO! :party0030::party0030::party0030::cheers::cheers:: cheers:

I like the 67 Eleanor. I don't know if it's the best though. Extremely rare from what I've read.

Not sure if jokinggg orrrrr... :iono:

Pretty sure those aren't stretched tires.

You may hear us old guys talk about "bias ply" tires that were used before radials were invented.
That's them.

Back in the good 'ol day (1967), Goodyear asked Carrol Shelby to do a promo for their new economy tires (thuderbolts) with one of their GT500s. Shelby agreed, but without anyone else knowing he decided to build an absolute monster of a car that still ran on economy rubber. So Shelby's had his chief engineer build the Super Snake. All Aluminum 427 racing engine, new suspension, lightweight wheels, braided lines, pistons, the works.

The test was supposed to be a 500mi endurance test to prove the longevity of the tires with an everyday GT500 as the eyecandy... Instead, Shelby jumped into his new supercar and took it a few laps around the track at up to 170mph before handing the keys off the his engineer who finished the 500 miles around the track with an average speed of 142mph.

After rolling back into the bay to inspect the tires, it was confirmed that they still had %97 tire tread left.

The tires were 7.75" x 15" Goodyear Whitewall Thunderbolts

Holy crap! Professor K FTW.

Finally watched video in the OP.

I want a car show produced by Wilman/Clarkson/Hammond/May (with occasional cameos) starring Chris Harris, Mr. Regular, and Rutledge Wood.

Edit: I really just want more Mr. Regular.

Of the older Mustangs, the '69 Boss 429 was pretty badass.

Huge full hemi engine, a transmission that probably could take a shell from a German Panzer and shake it off, and a nine-inch ring gear rear end (probably 4.11's) that was equally bulletproof. Handled like a freakin' brick. This was a car capable of killing you if you weren't very good and/or very careful.

As a sentimental favorite, I have to go with the '65 convertible, though. Everything the car was supposed to be from the beginning, before people started doing insane stuff to it:

can you say????
 

Can you say SUPER STANCED@@!!!!!

Jaden

They're ballet tires, silly. Haven't you heard of being "on point"?

Specs on the Boss 429:
http://www.carsession.com/car-specs/...-boss-429.html

Horsepower not that high, but the torque spec is insane:

450 ft/lbs (610 N/m) at 3400 rpm, HIGHER than the GT40s that won Le Mans 1,2 and 3.

That'll twist your tires.

How is there any other answer?

A crashed one.

My fav is the 65 GT350

I was very partial to my 66 coupe. Could daily drive it without much worry about value, could modify to hearts content, and insurance was CHEAP.

But who am I kidding, I would have much rather had a 66 GT350. I have a fondness for the "K" code 289 engine.

tl;dr 66 GT350 tickles me in the wedding vegatables

To people who were actually around in the 70's, did this actually look new and fresh and modern at the time it came out??

I think my favorite part of the video was "Not a car..."

My favorite mustang would be remake Eleanor.

No it did not. In fact people screamed their heads off about it. It looked and drove like pretty much every other luxury two door of the period. You could line it up with a Dart, Malibu, oh shit just about anything of the same size and trim level and hardly tell the difference.

No.

Oh, look. Another K car.

Not to mention that the interior and vinyl tops on those things looked like they were 10 years old after about a month (much like the Ks).

I don't even know what the material they did the seats in back then was called but I am pretty sure it was developed by NASA for the express purpose of drawing dirt and stains out of thin air.

Fun fact:
The Ford Probe was actually supposed to be the late 80s next gen of the Mustang. When the public found out there were going to drop the RWD platform people lost their shit.
Not very often can public opinion change the big manufacturer's plans but that onetime it sure as hell did.
