Just some perspective...The GT350R is faster than a Ferrari 458 Italia around the track.... absolutely amazing.
Yeah that is amazing.. but its also not altogether new. For decades long before factory ford sought to get thing right with the mustang performance wise, Saleen had long taken the botton from Shelby , raising the bar to new hieghts producing Mustangs that rivaling europes best. Their mustangs even ran in the 24hours of lemans along side the likes of the mclaren F1! in its first outing at lemans. And note worthy is the fact that Team saleen faired well in the race going furthing than most its competitors but in the end dnf'd due to gearbox issues. What goes unspoken in regards to that race is utter carnage of most of its competitors dnf'ing mclaren lost majority of its cars in fires. the point of all this sayin that Mustangs were always capable of much great tunes when done by professional. Saleen wsa a racing team first. but their road going business found themselves struggling from time to time. with all the same issues you hear from most tuner shops including the likes of Hennessey. The all can make great cars but running the day to day buisness is more of a challenge. Saleen was crushing european marques for some time, but most people back then were not into track racing, only straight line drag racing, and could not relate to why Saleens had cost'd so much. most never drove them to understand. Their performance was anything but a normal mustang. just like the GT350. czcams.com/video/8V-e4OBMhzg/video.html
458 didn’t have cup2
@Luvs2spooge correct, but it is 500lbs lighter though..
@@hnic72 geez is it really? that's amazing. cant imagine what that feels like to drive
458 is still better in everyway possible and it would easily out pace the gt350r, and i own a mustang, love american cars, but the s550 is a chunky horse, comparing a 458 to a gt350r is like comparing a corvette to a gt350r, sure stock the gt350r can beat it on paper, but the 458/corvette are just on a different level performance/chassis wise. And that being said if i wanted a track car id go for a SS 1LE before gt350r imao.
The sound of GT350R is one of the best through all V8's. Truly love this car
NOT one of the best!!!!THE BEST!!!
Sounds like a european v8 not an american v8 though... rather the camaro v8’s
@@gigi9467 i dont know any european V8 that sounds like this.
@@burgerbandit3646 not exactly but similar a d its suppose to sound american not european
@@gigi9467 Still don't see it, also why act like it NEEDS to sound like an "American" v8 ? Why can't America have an exotic sounding v8 for once, heck the whole point and exciting part about the GT350 is that there are no other v8 that sound like it, it's unique AND American, you literally have something special and unique but you complain and want to be like the rest of the American generic sounding v8....

They forgot to add the distilled water, otherwise the BMW M4 GTS would have been in the 1min35sec range.
yeah totally "distilled water" will cut ya 2 sec lol why bother getting more engineers when you can just add distilled water to cut not 1 but 2!! sec! Eureka!!!
Ha! What? It doesnt even add power just reduces knock when hot. If they were not overheating it it wouldnt do anything anyways. Sorry its a 1:37+ second car here.
They also forgot to coat the spoiler with BMW specific baby powder to reduce the drag otherwise it would have been in the 1:20 range.
1.55secs off for half the price! A helluva bargain! And, had he not cut the last corner wide, he sure as hell would be under 1:35:90! Still, a helluva bargain!
3 videos in one morning.... motor trend is giving me a real nice lunch break today!!!
1 more video coming up today! It's 4 videos a day!
As i fell to the floor... give me more give me more!!
Me too ha ha!
This is the motortrend we love
Who cares how fast it is, just listen to that thing. It is my personal favorite car sound ever. That growly, throaty V8 sounds better than any other exhaust note out there, to me. I'd take a GT350 for the street and a GT350R for the track over any high end supercar any day.
Shows how amazing American market products are. They can compete with far more expensive products.
In the 1950s and 60s American cars were being built to the standards of Mercedes and Rolls Royce for a fraction of the price.
The aerodynamic bits such as the splitters, diffusers, skirts, and spoiler, the brembo brakes, the steering feel, the weight reduction, the dampers and magnetic suspension, the carbon fiber wheels for rotating mass reduction, the sticky CUP 2 tires for ultimate grip, these are all upgrades that Ford put onto the GT350R over the regular GT350 which doesn’t have any of these track package goodies. The result? A ballistic missile on a track, and you still get the GT350’s 526 horsepower naturally aspirated 5.2L Voodoo motor (the best sounding V8 of all time), and you still get the upgraded manual transmission. So at the end of the day you’re left with probably the most lively drivers car on the planet. Nothing is more enjoyable to drive, especially around a track. And it’s a Ford Mustang that you can buy for less than one hundred grand. However, it is extremely violent, unrefined, brash, and there’s no comfort or luxury. So if that’s what you want but a purpose track built Porsche. But that’s the point of this car, it’s what America does best. 🇺🇸
Faster around this track than an M4 GTS and its half the price.
Love the Gt350R but it is selling for 90K right now.
Ford sells it for around 60k but they are so rare that the dealers jack up the prices. Pretty fucked up but even if this car was 90k originally, its still the best bang for the buck available.
thats STILL less than a gts even with the markup
Its faster than the Koenisegg CCX around the Nurburgring. Its a beast
Remy is butt hurt af
Nobody wants to give the GT350r any respect when Randy botched the last turn could have possibly beat the AMG.
Well they probably ran more than one lap, this is the fastest one.
@@Kayak56 I doubt it, you don't do multiple laps when trying to get the best, the more laps you do the more the engine runs harder and hotter and ends up decreasing performance, you would literally have to sit and wait and let the car cool off before trying for another best lap and even than you don't know if you can get a better lap, so highly unlikely.
Good point. Especially given how close the GT350R was to the ZL1 on their head to head
@@raionshishi8290 I ended up buying a gt350 not the R but in my opinion Ford could have added more vents and cooling to the gen 1 16-18 350s. They don't do well with heat in stock form.
What's a pirate's favorite car? The GT350aarrrrrr.
There are SO many cars with an R letter, though .. I bet it`s Dodge RAM, cause it reminds them of their god-sent beverage, Rum.
Why couldn't the young pirate get into the movie ? Because it was rated RRRrrrrrrrrrrrr I know corny but hey aren't most jokes ?
I think I hate you. Jerk.
Well, I hate you!
NIK BRUDAR! MAKIN' A JOKE! WOOO WEEEEEEEE!!!
The more of these I'm watching the more impressed I am with the AMG GT S but I would take the GT350R over it in a heartbeat.
They're in different classes. GT350R is a break-neck track car with CF wheels, no insulation, no resonators. AMG GT S is a GT car that happens to be blistering quick.
Auto vs 6 speed, 200k vs 80k, turbo vs na ford just owning everyone rn
+VirusTornado That's part of what makes the GT S so impressive.
Michael Gomez Stop comparing these cars dipshit. An Ariel Atom is quicker than both for half the price .
Michael Gomez
It's because I know what the GT350R is capable of that makes me so impressed with the GT S.
Seriously considering buying one.
Do eet
It's a collectors car get the GT350.
Love mine. Great sounds and handling.
Do it - i've put 11,000 miles on a GT350 Track Pack - nothing like it.
The GT350R is lightyears ahead of the 350. And it's not a collectors car :) my dad drives his quite regularly.
AMG GTS: 1:35.30. price: at least $170,000+
BMW M4 GTS: 1:37.50. Price: over $135,000.
Shelby GT350R: 1:36.11. Price: in the ball park of $75,000. Did i forget to mention this is a god damned mustang?
I've got a feeling that multiple German engineers are getting publicly executed by gunshot to the heads this very moment. (Mainly BMW engineers.)
can't take anything seriously from a furry
НАТО в шоке, США обосрались
This really isn't about "price". It's about a Mustang (An average Joes sports car may I add.) getting under the noses of the "worlds best", at a game so many Europhiles thinks American cars can't compete in.
I agree to a degree cuz im pretty sure the lambo and ferrari guys gettin smoked by a regular car at a track or strip contemplate suicide at some point. I wouldn't buy an object to gain respect or credibility
At least the AMG GT is a bespoke sports coupe that is pretty luxurious combined with its raw performance.
For the BMW which has a compulsory aftermarket-like wing and scaffolding/roll car on the rear seats? What was BMW M thinking?
And it's a MANUAL!!!!
I will take this over the M4 GTS at any time, amazing looking and well put together monster, less than half of the BMW price, faster lap time without compromise on the sound insulation and most importantly, extra 33 horse power, manual stick and beautiful v8 engine sound!
Well done ford ..
I'm a proud Ford racing owner, but the GTS m-series cars are really catering to a different audience. They have more overlap with Maserati and Lamborghini than Ford. I would agree though, much better value from Ford
M4 GTS is FASTER
Jack Brand no its not.. and you saw the time laps ..dont you ??
Jack Brand FUCK BMW!
@@abbuudjb3127 motortrend and randy tend to lie/sand bag cars during testing, if you really think a gt350r is better than a M4 GTS as a track car you are tripping lmao.
People have been hating on Ford for years... Well they've had enough of the BS, introducing the Shelby GT350R.
I'm an import fanboy, but damn, this is definitely one of the top 3 cars I would buy right now if I had the money.
So far the best american car ever made.
Vipers are shit. Ford GT was ok but couldn't compete with this. Latest corvettes are ok, but they were shit for decades, and the driving position sucks.
I think there is a strong case for this car as one of the best-ever American sports cars.
yup
Viper GTS-R, Viper ACR, Ford GT40, Ford GT, Ford GT 2017, Ford GT90, and Saleen S7 would definitely take the crown from the GT350R as "the best American car ever made". For the price, I would say YES, but in total against the ones I mentioned? Sorry mate.
And for those that think the Viper is "shit", GO LOOK AT SOME TRACK RECORDS!
And let's not even include the Hennessy Venom GT
Vipers are fantastic one of the greats no doubt - but the GT350R is really in it's own league.
Wow over a second faster than the BMW M4 GTS and costs half the price...and has carbon fiber wheels
More like 20K-35k less with all the markups but the M4 GTS is a unicorn.
+pgf202 So is the gt350R a collectible hence the price mark up.
+DBZ Series I think cars like the GT350R or even the M4 GTS are meant to be driven hard every chance you get, but unfortunately most people buy them as collectors never to see a race track.
You forgot the BMW M4 GTS is an automatic, while the mustang has a manual making it slower than it should be. The GT350R would be even faster with an automatic.
well, a good 'new-gen' auto, yea. the Mustang GT's current 6 speed auto wouldn't cut it, but Ford's new 10 speed auto would.
6 speeds lasted a long time, almost a decade, as excellent slush boxes. But, now any real performance car needs at least a well calibrated 8 speed transmission to be competitive.
The winner right there! No need to test any other car!
I think it's going to win. Ford took their time with this one.
With Randy behind the wheel, I get an instant smile on my face😝 it is still the ultimate test for me🥰
Impressive! Great engineering, great laptime, great emotional car. This is a car the yanks can be proud of. Hats off to Ford.
I'm a girl and since I was in kindergarten I have wanted a mustang. Not a long way to go to get it! I plan on saving to get this one!!!
Well
So how is it going, did you get it ?
@@raionshishi8290 no she didn't get it
So…did you get it yet?
when does randy drive the vetcart?
April 1?
noooooooooo :-)
February 29th?
Chuck Davis you know this date exists all 4 Years?
We have jokes. :-|
since the moment this video came out I have to watch it at least once a day the sound it's intoxicating. Job well done Ford.
The sound, the sound!
This'll be in the Top 3. You've seen it here first.
No, I said the like on the first teaser they made...This or the Mclaren gonna win
***** Lmfaoo alright
Sure drive a Mclaren on bumpy roads everyday with blindspots all around and most likely a roaring engine in the back. I think not, its going to result like the MP4-12C like a few years ago.
Mclarens actually have great suspensions, just saying. So for a daily supercar, not too bad.
Make checks payable to?
As a Boss 302 owner I love the sound it's fantastic.The Boss sounds great at 7500 rpm but this is a whole different animal. I would love to drive one some day. I checked out an old video with a Boss 302 MT did back in 2011 and the new Shelby is 5 sec faster. Wow
This might be the drivers car of the year. Makes you smile, is fast around the track and cheap in comparisson.
Bought the GT350 Track Pack - amazing car - now my Porsche 997S is the grocery getter.
get a gt3
6ll
Great noise, and guess what? A Manual car in the best driver's car competition! That's rare.
Randy Pobst quite simply has the best job in the world.
And the non R takes 2nd place in 2019 too. What a car.
0:49 That check engine light is dope.
lol
It’s a glitch in the matrix
God its such an epic car, I NEED IT
Randy Pobst just beat his own Ferrari 458 Italia lap time of 1:36:22, with this gt350 putting down a lap time of 1:36:11!!! Very impressive Randy!
This ran the same time as an Aventador ($500,000 car)..
That is simply incredible.
Ford has been producing some awesome cars lately..
Wow, this Mustang is a beast. Beating half the cars you wouldn't think it would beat around a track.
IT LOOKS AHHHH SO AWSOME
There you go. The very first like! Also, I am inclined to say that this will be the champion this year. I mean, it has the perfect gearbox, engine, tires, suspension, you get it! just look at Randy's face while he talks.
I can't be the only one who came for the soundtrack, by the way. That was pure eargasm. MY GOD that engine.
Ohh, Add the GT350R to the list of cars that beat the hyped NSX here by the way.
I don't think it will bet the nsx. but I will like to see how much faster the NSX can achieve.
Juwon Adejuwon NSX: 1:36.3 on a head 2 head against the Nissan GT-R.
NSX ended around 20 years ago. moder POS is nothing like that glorious lambo eater. and YES stang is way better drivers car than that misery of an automotive industry.
Anthony Olivo™ Sorry, but on what track and can you link the video.
Juwon Adejuwon On this same track. Since I don't have MTOD yet, I had to check in the Nissan GT-R forum and there I found the laptime. 1:36.3 for the NSX on this track. You may see it by tomorrow.
I'm from Saudi Arabia and thank Delirious channel for the wonderful and her efforts on the car of my dreams and experience the myth of America Shelby Mustang .
بالخير
shut the fuck up, you just a blender
chill the fuck up!
+DrFerazza - working on international relations I see.
doesn't look like it worked 😂
Lip and tongue biting followed by a massive smile and laughter.
That's a driver and drivers car.
lol I wouldn't like to be a Mustang hater right now.... They must be killing themselves.
Most Mustang owners will do that for them. By running them over. At car meets.
Even mustang haters respect the gt350 . It's the 5.0 we hate
We're not too worried about it. A new Z28 is already on the way and it's riding the excellent Alpha platform.
You'd be a fool to hate on this car. But it's so different from any other Mustang ever, that's why I can't hate on it. Past mustangs though... Ehhhh
+alexander vick A new Camaro model ALWAYS comes out after the corresponding Mustang model, that's what GM does; wait for Ford to set the bar, then make their car faster. It's easy to do when you never have an original thought.
What you SHOULD worry about is buying a Camaro instead of singing it's praises, they're barely selling right now. Camaro sales are barely above 2002 Camaro/Firebird sales, so if you don't buy a Camaro now, it's likely GM will give the Camaro another 'planned hiatus'
The Gt350 R beat that AMG if randy wouldn't have over shot the corner
It would have been close. Randy probably lost .3-.5 over shooting the corner so needless to say the GT350R on a clean HOT Lap at Laguna can do a 1:35.7 which is a lot to say for an American Muscle Car transformed.
that wasn't a mistake that cost him almost a second
He probably did lose a tiny bit of time, but I think it would be around closer to about a tenth or two
If the GT350r had twin turbos like many of the contenders, it would be a no contest.
Matthew D and if the rest had cup 2 tires, what then?
I think we know what's going to win!
I am geeking out over all these uploads... love BestDriversCar time of the year
Anybody noticed 0:49 engine light is on?
Comes on at start, then goes away.
not their car
They most likely did a full video from start up, to revving. I doubt the engine was cold, as they would have recorded that at the same time as the rest of the videos.
you can't rev the engine when you haven't crank/start the engine yet. no idea what will happen to my car if I just started it and rev it high right away and I wouldn't try without warming it up.
+Tony Tsui every car does that at start up, hence the reason before that video is the driver pushing the start button. the video of the gauge rising is the gauge self testing. the video edited revving after a few minutes.
That is the car, new mustang V8 and only 66,000$
love the sound
Try to buy one for $66k! Good luck! Dealers are packing an extra $25k-$35k just because!
It's a thing of beauty watchin Randy caress Laguna Seca
Not a Ford man but I have to give them props that car is wicked, no torque vectoring AWD, no hybrid system not even a supercharger and it runs with the stupid expensive exotics. Mad respect.
Ford killing the game and the gt will handle the acr,570s,670lt,nsx it don't matter ford has a car for it all
And guys there making a 5.2 crate motor ford wins can't wait to see what people do with those
unfortunately nobody who owns one could proof it but im sure its good
+le an my guess is 2800lbs 700hp maybe 680 but with ford money backing the gt idk how it won't be
Michael Gomez It was kind of sad that it lost at le mans but if won the collector price for on would had been extremly bosted in an incrdible amount
+le an it won tho ?? It's been winning go check out the imsa Chanel it's on pole for the next race
Surprised it's slower than the AMG. I bet if you put a crowd in front of that finish line it would have made up the difference.
You're surprised it's slower than Motor Trends Winner last year? Crazy peoples minds the way it works......
The Miata was in the top three last year. The winner is not the fastest around the track.
I figured a working mans race car for the street would be quicker round the track than a wealthy man's sports GT. Particularly with all that extra power. But hey, save 70k and only about a second slower. That being said whats so crazy about it? It's not all about lap times and a lot of people here are saying the gt350 is the favourite.
The GT350R will go faster too if you feed him that ugly trans am of yours lol Just put it on a plate at the finish line lol
Why you gotta get personal? Foxbody owners trying to tell people they drive ugly cars... Unless thats someone elses car in your google account.
This video is what I want to hear the sound of shelby's ........... Great!!!
High Praise from Pobst. I'll take one please!
Mustang Gt350 is an amazing car hell the Mustang is a great car.The Gt350 just helps solidify it, great job done by Ford. I mean i never hear anyone in Europe say they would like a camaro i know they love the mustang though. Must be a reason.
Agreed, Euros LOVE Mustangs, there's 9 month wait the basic eco boost Stang. I wasn't a Ford guy till I bought the new Stang......... I am now, wow what a car
because the mustang is marketed for Europeans. It was heavily advertised in Europe. I am not even sure they sell the camaro in Europe. On the counter side, myself as an American have always loved the mustang, in fact I own one, but if I had to buy a new car today it would be a Camaro. It looks better and more American and the performance is way better. I dont want to try to mod a dohc they are too expensive. Give me a pushrod.
You must be around 16-18.
winner hands down.
if you put a crowd near the finish line it would have been the fastest car to lap that track
It's over folks. Competition done. We have a winner. And props to Motor Trend for the simultaneous release on YT and MT On Demand.
wonder why the check engine light was on at 0:48...🤔🤔
because in america they never turn off
+Michael caplinger you misspelled Volkswagen's
+Michael caplinger typical Europoor
might have pulled a fuse to completely remove the traction control system.
And even with the check engine light on it still ran 1:36.11. :)
Best sounding American v8.
I never thought a mustang would look so good in yellow
And without stripes too
first
GT350R 1:36:1
AMG GTS 1:35:3
M4 GTS 1:37:66
lol BMW so slow. with agressive areo and cage.
it's faster that the m4 gts. dam bmw ford just burned you.
cant believe the m4 is getting shitted on like this..
that is just so funny and u know what more? the BMW have 50NM more.
***** 50nm more? What?
Torque.
ford shoulda made the 350R all aluminum like there new F-150 trucks, it would of shed 500-600 lbs. and gave it long lasting prestige like the NSX.
It'd save maybe 200lbs and a GT 350R is already more prestigious than an NSX. The 30% premium over list pretty much proves that.
NS Who?
Like the prestige of an NSX losing to the Mustang?
It's not always about speed, its handling, cornering ability, high speed stability and braking, racetrack awareness and turn in turn out ability . I like the 350R , my 1st car when I turn 16 was a 65 mustang and I loved it.just sayin you just have to drive other cars to understand where I'm coming from, Im 47 and have driven over 240 cars in my lifetime. For the record I do think the 350R is the bst mustang ever produced and would be happy to own one.The new body is the best looking mustang ever in my opinion, cars are changing faster than ever b4 year after year and its interesting to see whats next that's all I meant to say from the start.for American cars I believe the mustang is still the best deal around, If I sounded like an NSX fan Im not really but I do like te look of it but the new NSX not so much.My ultimate dream car is the Ferrari 458.
I'm sorry but no car is worth a $25k mark up when it's suppose to be a performance bargain vs. the competition. I'll wait a couple years. But I think it definitely wins best driver's car.
It just means they set the MSRP too low
It selling like crazy with limited number of models. I dont blame them for marking them up.
Yeah. Some people have more money than brains.
Man it looks awesome. Love what they did with 350R
Hats off to Ford here... not that big fan of a mustang and I'll admit I got butthurt to find out it bested the Z/28, this car is amazing.... bravo ford 👏🏽 you made the truest mustang ever.....
And, how much is that twice-the-price-for-less-performance M4 GTS? ;)
do they do 3 cars a day? or all of them today?
4 cars a day this year, and 12 total this week. One more coming soon!
thanks
is it the camaro???
Just do all of them today, it's my day off...no one else will mind :p
prediction - the 350r beats the 1LE by .3 seconds - and ford banbois freek out "see, the fords faster!" Not realizing that this isn't chevy's full on track car. When the new ZL1 starts shipping - ford fanboi's are toast!
GT350 Street Model is my absolute goal, so much want.
had to contain myself watching this, freakin love mustangs
of course it handles the corners better its not a muscle car
you mean it's not a drag car anymore. stop crying it's time for muscle cars to take a crap on gtr's and m3's at both the drag strip and the circuit
Lol, faster than a hellcat.
Guys don't start a immature hellcat, shelby, zl1 fight.
Mitch, Mustangs have always been pony cars not muscle cars. There's a difference.
To be honest shaw, the first mustang was named pony. But Ford never gave the 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, or the 10 models the name pony car
HAH, beat the Camaro 1LE by only one and a half seconds. The next Z/28 will kill this.
1.5 seconds*
1.5 seconds is a looong time in terms of track performance
Are you high? It's not that long, even in terms of track times. Couple blinks of the eye. The new Z/28 will kill this.
Rock7132 It is though. Thats quite a few car lengths and its still the difference between a W and a L whether you think it is or not.
It very well might be faster maybe not. It's too bad they have to use what 200 more cubic inches to do it and no I'm not a Chevy hater or troll.. So come back with something I know you will.
I bought a Shelby GT350 (non R) and you can definitely find the car for sticker. I bought a 2017 lightning blue gt350 3 months ago and I got it for sticker over the phone, no haggle. Car gets so many compliments EVERY time I take it out. Just grips and roars like no other car i've ever owned... Amazing car.
How did the motor do after all these years ?
Guys, Plz, never stop making videos!
so everybody knows. all 99-04 cobras had irs.
It was also failure prone.
never said it worked well lol
+GlassTopRX7 it did work lots of guys swap it in for road racing like the American iron series and its won a lot with many different drivers
Michael Gomez
Never said it didn't work I said it was failure prone.
randy is much slower now than he once was
I doubt that.
The fastest laps normally look slow
yes sir Randy just makes it look easy, this is what hardly anyone has a faster time than him on most tracks he has race certain vehicles. Everyone else is a tad slower.
smooth is fast and smooth looks slow. dude is a phenomenal driver, and one of the fastest drivers in the US. i dont doubt his technique.
I'm sure he can pull nice times going sideways as well...lets hope they include some of that nice slo-mo action. I predict GT350 = will win this one
Saw a GT350R dyno live at my club's show and the sound is beautifully wicked.
Great stuff so far. I would like to see a full on hot lap with Randy with just sound but then a full lap of his commentary.
Beautiful! That rear wing makes me think of the Supra Turbo. This car looks just as good in my opinion.
Surpra mark IV wing made more down force but OK.
any supra vs the looks of this car can't compare. respect to toyota engineering for that car though.
RickTrajan
Not about looks about functionality, The tall Supra wing produced more down-force.
GlassTopRX7 functionality yes, rear spoiler look yes, but overall looks no. as I said, respect for their engineering back then.
I had the honor to hear a gt350. Was at my local mall, moved my car closer to the other entrance and saw a gt350 avalanche grey, with track package. Owner saw me taking pictures, asked him a couple questions and when he left he turned on the exhaust to sport, omgerd. That sound made giddy like a 6 year old getting that awesome Christmas present about a month early. I see what they mean when they say the sound is exotic yet familiar. I wish i could of heard more, best sounding car i have heard in person. I hope the gt350 wins best drivers car, or at least gets the must buy award or most smiles award :D Also let me add i would be willing to give up, a left nut, a kidney, part of my liver and any other organs i don't need to own this car, hell even to drive once for 10 seconds.
"...AND THE CROWD COVER THEIR EYES IN HORROR AS THE MUSTANG PLOWS INTO THE CROWD THAT IS PACKED WITH WOMEN, CHILDREN AND KITTEN!"
bro calm down...Mustang jokes were funny 3 months ago. Just top now.
don't be so sensitive, bro
Just because it's not funny to you doesn't mean it's not funny to other people lol stfu
but it is not the cars fault it is the driver.
old lame joke

Should of put the horsepower rating next to it also
Thanks Randy, had the chance to drive a regular 5.0 Mustang and I can imagine how awesome that must have been. Looks like there's only two second gear turns? Well, obviously it's not a bad thing if you can do most of a track in third without caring about shifting too much.
I'd take this over everything here what awesome sound!
One of my favorite Mustangs of all time
This should definitely win
I'm 59 and have had my 2017 GT350 for about a month now.WOW! I Love it ! My lovely wife of 33 years is so jealous!She thinks I have a new mistress! Makes me feel 18 again, carving up the back roads.We took it to the SCCA runoffs @Mid-Ohio and autocrossed it at MIS! Even people who don't know (or care) about 8250 RPM redlines and flat plane crankshafts are drawn to this Race Red Beast.Don't get me started about the sound! Cows in fields gaze up when ripping upshifts at redline! BTW I waited and got mine at MSRP.
Not really a mustang fan, but this will be an exception. Damn looking good.
I hope this car wins.
That sound. Voodoo magic.
This car deserves to win. America deserves to win more than one BDC.
Randy is THE BEST to ever get behind a wheel on a track, Dale Earnhardt is still the best nascar driver to ever do it, but I would argue that randy is the best to ever do a race course
Ford really stepping their game up! Not just in Mustangs but also in the new Focus
I am not gonna die without buying this!!!
Randy I love the GT350R my most favorite! Ford Shelby ever! I do like the GT500 as well! Couldn't you guy's get the Blue Metallic Paint Body Style!?!!!!!!
We have missed you Randy.
Dear god I literally got goose bumps with the sound of that car!
Not many cars get my heart racing just from watching a video
Randy's got one of the best jobs in the world.
We have a winner
Makes me so glad my GT350 is in triple yellow. Just need the big wing now.
Paddleshift and it would become a supercar killer!
It seems so much fun!
