Video: renting and 'racing' the 900bhp+ Mustang Shelby GT500-H
Can a modified Mustang beat a running man? Also in episode five of new TG2: Cars and Stripes - Toyota GR Corolla vs Subaru BRZ
The new Mustang Shelby GT500-H has over 900bhp and can be rented from a bog standard Hertz booth... so we flew to New York and did so gladly. However, despite this car being a direct descendant of the 1966 GT350-H – the first Shelby/Hertz collab and the original rent-a-racer – Hertz was adamant that no track driving or road racing was allowed. Which got us thinking...
Oh, and also in this new episode of TG2: Cars and Stripes, we discover that life isn't fair – mainly because the US gets a pile of cool cars we don't. To prove the problem is real and requires drastic and immediate rectification, Jethro and Jack gathered a Toyota GR Corolla (that shares much of its running gear and underpinnings with the sublime GR Yaris) and a Subaru BRZ (that shares almost all its underpinnings with the sublime Toyota GR86) and took them to a racetrack in Arizona. The mission? To construct a watertight argument for why both cars should be brought to the UK immediately...
