Coyote Swapping a Shelby GT500 Is a Great Move (Big Turbo Coyote GT500)

**A Closer Look at Andrew's Twin Turbo Jeep**

As I got behind the wheel of Andrew's twin turbo Jeep, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. The massive parachute on the back of the car seemed to be hinting at just how fast this thing was capable of going. With the turbo itself visible through the hood, it was clear that this was no ordinary vehicle. The Coyote engine, paired with a manual transmission, seemed like an unlikely combination for such raw power.

**First Impressions**

When I rolled into third gear for the first time, I was taken aback by how quickly the car responded. It felt like a switch had been flipped and suddenly I was in the midst of a high-speed experience. The pedals were firm to the touch, but not overly aggressive, which surprised me given the massive power output of this vehicle. As I accelerated out of third gear, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease - my brain still seemed to be wired for driving smaller cars, and I found myself wanting to ease off on the accelerator too quickly.

**Progressive Learning Curve**

Andrew had cleverly set up his Jeep to learn with me as I drove it. The moment I felt the car start to accelerate aggressively, I was able to adjust my driving style to take full advantage of its capabilities. This progressive learning curve allowed me to feel more confident behind the wheel, and I appreciated the subtle cues that Andrew had incorporated into the vehicle.

**A Taste of the Past**

Despite the raw power and modern technology on display, there were moments when I felt like I was driving a classic American muscle car from years past. The 7th generation GT500 seemed to possess a certain je ne sais quoi - a hint of old-school charm that belied its modern engine and transmission combination. This was evident in the way it responded to my inputs, with a character that was both raw and refined.

**A Few Notes on Modifications**

Andrew had taken the coyote engine through modifications, which seemed to have paid off in spades. With these tweaks, the Jeep was able to achieve remarkable performance numbers - including an impressive 157 mile per hour at 158 horsepower. This kind of power is all too rare in modern vehicles, and it's a testament to Andrew's skill as a tuner that he had been able to coax such incredible results from this engine.

**A Quick Spin**

As the sun began to set, I found myself struggling to keep up with the Jeep's pace. The lack of headlights made it difficult to see the road ahead, but the car's aggressive nature more than made up for this limitation. In a short burst, we managed to eke out an impressive 8 second quarter mile at high speed.

**A Lasting Impression**

In many ways, driving Andrew's twin turbo Jeep felt like experiencing a piece of automotive history come alive in front of my eyes. The car seemed to possess a certain magic that was both captivating and unsettling. As I finally came to a stop and reflected on the experience, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to drive this incredible vehicle.

**A Final Word**

I would like to extend my gratitude to Andrew for allowing me to take his twin turbo Jeep out for a spin. The memories I made behind the wheel of this incredible machine will stay with me for a long time. If you're in the market for a high-performance vehicle that's both fun and challenging, look no further than the 7th generation GT500 - it's an experience you won't soon forget.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enNostalgia can be dangerous the 2007-2009 Shelby GT500 has a mixed reputation when the car came out it didn't get the best reviews people thought it was big and heavy and had more to be desired but the engine itself was a lot of fun it was a 5.4 liter Supercharged V8 but when time went on four developed better engines Andrew from Mustang lifestyle took the 07 GT500 and said you know what I can make it better So Gone was the 5.4 liter and he actually went to a 5-liter coyote engine which is pretty much Ford's God Engine with only a few minor modifications like head studs and valve train this pushes a thousand wheel horsepower and runs a low nine second quarter mile through a six-speed manual transmission so I guess you could say Andrew built the craziest 2007 GT500 I've ever seen driven on the street and he said David you have to drive this thing it'll bring some memories back but also show you just how incredible this car could truly be so is the I

supercharged it said it has a big fat giant turbo that's bigger than my head and with that you have a manual street car that runs low nines Have a Holly EFI ECU and uh the Retro gauges are also gone but this is an s197 just like the 05 to 09 Mustang GTs except this was like the big boy version times were simpler in 2007 you know this car was an I Am Legend you know pre-chris rock slap oh yeah you can tell that everywhere it's got a little bit alive but once it gets going it's going other than it being the stock the minor stuff done to it just for safety it's got blow up gears it's got Mouse rings in it head studs and lockouts for the Holly but the dash is still the only oh you'd asked for the air vent all this kind of stuff but then you have a cage here all your controls are up above your head I'm in a full-blown racing artist seat and I have to gangster lean it a little bit because I'm I'm shorter than Andrew which I'm a lot shorter than Andrew so this is all the way up at the same time we have a four performance racing wheel the gearbox is obviously great trim a gearbox it works it's a six-speed massive Hoosiers bead locks on the back so everything that was any sort of amenity in the last car it's all I got a little bit of me is a little nervous but it being nervous is when you make mistakes so you don't do that also there's a massive uh parachute on the back so if that's a hint of how stupid fast this car is there you go with the turbo itself when you pop the hood you see the boss manifold on the coyote coming down to the turbo and single turbo coyotes on the street usually see twin turbo kits be something like a helion or something underneath the car like a bat there's no secrets here you pop it it's all there and it's ready to go typically when I do a car review in a big Power car I roll into third first just to see where the Moose comes on fun fact when I just did that I never even hit boost dude that blow-off's out is wicked it's also uh getting dark outside so I need to ramp this ISO up thank you second gear is crazy and it's the best thing ever but it's I'm really surprised for some reason when I got in this car I was like man up David you're about to do some crazy pedaling but the tires we haven't even done a burnout or anything they're hooking up really really nice foreign are they just big toaded a little bit more and then that's when we started going here's another thing is that when I'm driving this car for some reason my brain still thinks I'm driving the 5'4 so I have the tendency to want to let off early and shift to the next gear I still have to go to 8 000 RPM so by going to 8 000 RPM in this chassis scene this Dash it doesn't feel quite right right but God dang this thing is so so fun so Andrew has this set up to be very Progressive so that I'm learning the car right well it's doubly Progressive because the moment you feel a kick in you're like oh that's what it's supposed to be doing thank you I do have to say one driving a big Power car like this with no brake booster it does take a little bit of getting his car is the epitome of but wait there's more as soon as you ramp into it you're like this is how fast it is and he goes nope this is how fast it is Andrew was really excited for me to drive his twin turbo Jeep when he kept saying just wait till you drive the other car just drive I'm like you have a twin turbo GT500 and you're saying this is the crazy one what I like about this though is this is what in a thousand horsepower car used to always feel like right so it has a little bit of the old secret sauce with a modern engine in it so it gives you the Vibes of a raw crazy old car but then you know your whole not for dear life at one point here listen to this just a little bit think about this with super minor modifications of this coyote through a manual gear box in a car that's not even supposed to really truly be it anymore you're still running nine second quarter miles and you can tell this has way more in it it has a a lot more in it what's really cool is Andrew Tunes this car basically by himself so to give you perspective in 2015 I rode with a friend named Javier from that racing channel arrived in an S14 with a 2J with an auto that ran eight seven at 158. this car through a manual trapped at 157 mile an hour so that means it can 100 do an eight second quarter mile it's just the perfect day has to be there and you have to think guys the first time I drove a GT500 was in Roanoke Virginia and it was completely bone stock and I just remembered the gearing being really long it'd be like you know I fun to drive in this and then later I drove JD Joyride GT500 that had a bigger blower on it that was really fun so yeah this is the ultimate 07 GT500 also the car is matte black but it's painted so it's not just let's throw vinyl on it and get it done it's painted ceramic coated and taken care of it and it's so funny when I was filming this car today it was almost difficult to film it because it was so dark compared to the Florida Sun I just could not get anything going but it is getting a little too dark to do more so much Andrew I guess this is one of the only night reviews I've done in a while with uh basically no headlights so what do you guys think about the ct500 thank you so much Andrew one more time don't let me take it for a quick rip and put it
