I'm driving the Mustang Shelby GT500.
The "500" has nothing to do with the number of hp, which is a lot more.
It has 651 hp.
The world's most powerful production V8.
5.8 liters, supercharger, 0-62 mph in 3.5 seconds, ...
but certainly not in this weather. It's cold, not very slippery, ...
but it doesn't help. There's wheel spin in 1st gear, 2nd gear, 3rd gear--
If you try, probably in 4th gear as well.
Ford says the top speed is more than 200 mph.
There's one thing left to do: a scientific test to verify this.
There's only one place in the world where we can do this safely, ...
but they've predicted rain for the Maasvlakte.
Therefore we're going to the German Autobahn.
I feel a healthy tension.
Farewell, maybe. - Very fitting. "Farewell, maybe."
We had half a tank left, now we're at nearly a quarter.
I think we were at it for 10 minutes.
Economical? No, it certainly is not.
Addicting? Yes, that it is.
Doing okay? - Apparently not.
There's no power left.
He doesn't like it. Can you tell? - Yea.
The most interesting of this drill is that we can pop the hood.
Patrick has more technical experience with cars, but I'm just looking at it.
It looks good, but it doesn't work right.
One phone call later...
It went to 1/8, but now there's only a little left.
Okay, but you can still drive another 40 miles.
I'm curious.
We have gas again. That was the problem!
Autoblog top tip: driving a Ford Mustang Shelby 500 over 160 mph ...
means that a quarter tank is empty.
Fill up every 62 miles and you'll be alright.
Thanks to Ford dealer Emmen, who delivered gas with a Transit.
WTF, how fast are we going? - 190 mph, so that's 310 kph.
Over 180 mph it's starting to crawl.
That's almost 300 kph. We have to slow down for an Audi A3.
Subs - Maru
In the press info we find something about the fuel delivery module.
That's two 5-liter Mustang pumps, which supply 300 lph to the engine.
Apparently, that's not enough.
