Any difference between the 2020 and 2022 GT500s?

[Evolvd]

No—you mean only 225 total GT500 Heritage CFTPs produced? I know only 280 of the Heritage GT350Rs were produced.

Shelby America is doing 225 KR package builds but a bunch of stupid salesmen took that number and told people that it was how many HE cars were being built.

Here is an updated list of everything I could find, let me know if I missed anything.

20S26 – Camera calibration – 2020

20S52 – Brake pedal bracket – 2020

21B26 – Cam tensioner – 2020

22E08 – TCM/PCM reflash – 2020-2021

22S07 - Airbag bracket weld - 2021-2022

21-2148 – Trans cooler leak – 2020-2021

22-2282 – Loose exhaust/wire rub – 2020-2022

22-2500 – Generator Current Sensor – 2022

Valve cover seals around spark plug appears to be an issue on '22s. Possibly in the ladder half of production that yr.
No idea if there is a TSB on this yet.

Its good you have composed a list. So thanks for that.
Good list for future buyers, & current owners.

You may wanna research & add the issue of low DCT Transmission fluid levels, in what some believe are literally every 20-22 that leaves the factory.
(We have not verified its all yrs, just heard it was)

Certainly is an issue on many cars that were checked.
Filling them to the site plug appears to often show them to be between half a quart, & as much as a few quarts to low. (Again, not something we have fully verified, thus rumors)

The 'Stuff' is around ~$90 a quart if I recall, if your using Ford approved fluid.

I dont think so. Colors and options, but that is about it. A very short production run and quite honestly, the car is excellent as it is. I have a 2020 and never heard of any significant updates.

Hi Tomster; I just thought I would give you a really "BIG HELLO". I haven't been on these boards for several years now except last week to ask a quick question about battery tender chargers. I still have my Rapid Red 2020 GT 500. Had to get a new battery last week, went out for a drive and now have exactly 1,052 miles on it. I have the base car with the Roger Penske "Painted Stripes". Actually was thinking about selling it and getting a new Vette ZO7 but their prices are truly INSANE.

There’s more heat shielding on the bottom of my ‘22 than there was on my ‘21 - towards the back of the trans above the driveshaft.

You sir have a 1 of 1. I am familiar with your story pertaining to the stripes. I dont think anyone else has pulled that one off.

I wouldn't sell that car.

It is a very rare and beautiful machine my friend Tom. But if the '"Right Price" came along I would be a seller. But like I said the new Z07 is quite stunning but the price they are getting is beyond OBSCENE & INSANE. My car has 1,052 miles on it. Its Pristine.

I just got my hands on a 2020 Rapid Red metallic GT500 with 5k miles over the weekend. I live in cali so there are still markups and add ons that still make it difficult to find a good deal on a 2021/2022. I am happy with my 2020, no mechanical difference over the years and I skipped the markups of newer years; a win in my book in obtaining a dream car (threw away an old 1967gt500 poster I have kept since I was a teen when I came home, mission accomplished!!!)

I sold my 2016 gt convertible premium to fund this gt500, two completely different cars!! A gt with mods might compete on paper, but in real life it can’t compete with the legacy, and I can feel the R&D and investment in the performance of the GT500 being way above any GT or what mods can give for a similar package/price

(I have yet to see a GT have a dct and supercharged V8 combination with a warranty) once you drive the GT500, if you didn’t know, you will know. And what I know is that there is no discussion on which is better, if you have to ask, you just don’t know yet the truth.

Sir, you wasted your money. All you had to do was slap a Whipple on your GT and it would be the same. Well, at least that's what the GT guys say......

Congrats
