Highlights of this video:

Host says that the car in the video is the GT but it is really a V6
He bashes the weight, but it is a convertible, which weighs more than the coupe
And he drives the automatic version as if Mustangs don't come with manual
Talks about how slow it is for being a "4.6 liter with 300 bhp", although he is driving the v6.

He pretty much bashes the Mustang and American cars throughout the video

Ahhhh, that host is an idiot.

He said something about it being the base model, that video cut off early so im not really sure. I know that he was on a show on TLC that did all kinds of shit with cars, and they tested the new Stang and said it was the best New American Muscle car.

Weird thing though, they didn't even use the Pony pkg V6.. lol

It must have been shot to be funny or something. Here is their actual review of 2005 GT.

He says the new shelby is a 4.6L not the 5.4L that it really is. For being such a large car show in europe you would think they can handle getting there facts correct.

That might have been an episode from a while ago. Sometimes facts are wrong because its just speculation and/or non-confermed details
