Still the best blue out there.
How do you like it compared to the C7?
@@pgtmr2713 My biased self would have to agree!
@@JpL4K3 Miles better! In all fairness though, I've only ever driven a C7 Z51 Stingray with 8 speed auto.
This video reminds me that I need to drive mine more often. Thanks for documenting your experience.
🤙🏻
Who cares that there are other cars a shade faster? Naturally aspirated flat plane crank V-8, 525hp, manual stick, track suspension....I'm in love.
God bless America!
You speak the truth sir.
Mike Nomad in this day an age if you choose a manual you choose it for driving enjoyment and feel rather than outright speed. I find it dumb that people tried to compare a GTR to this car. What GTR can you get for $50k where the transmission isn’t about to explode?
honestly! Everything is so damn fast compared to 20 years ago, at this point let's just enjoy what we have stock haha
If you want you could always drop a super charger in there.
This is probably the best sounding v8 I have ever heard
It sure doesn't get old!
You havent heard much then
Hemi?

All the reasons you mentioned are why I love my GT350. We aren't too far from each other, I'm in ATX. Keep up the good work!
Mine is currently on the ship on the way to Germany. Can’t wait for it any longer. Always have to smile when I watch videos or hear you going through an underpass 🥰
Excited for you! You'll love it!!
Beautiful car. Want to get one myself. It's great watching this because you are giving us a regular guys view and opinion. U picked the right car because you still love it and love to drive it. Don't blame you. Thanks for the video.
Exoticars19, First time visiting. You have good content. Great indepth personal review. You don't sound annoying like a lot of these TV/magazine reporters. Perhaps it is because it came from personal experience and from the heart. Your car sounds so nice. GT350 Naturally Aspirated exhaust note is one of the best on the market. Enjoy the car, look forward to seeing more contents.
Best video of this car I’ve seen! Honestly I’m saving my money for this car ! I have dreams of owning this car especially after someone just totaled my mustang convertible. 😭
nailed it brother, nailed it. all your reasons spot on, especially about the uniqueness and visceral driving experience that the gt350/r produces. i drove a hellcat, scat 392, ss, zle, 5.0, and lastly a '17 grabber blue gt350. the decision was made. i got a '18 350r :-> i was hooked. there is nothing like the shelby in this price range.
Definitely! All cars you mentioned are cool and have their place/purpose but the 350s leave a lasting impression. Hope you keep enjoying your R for years to come as well!
I work at ford and love the Gt350. One day I will be getting one. Nice video btw
Thanks man!
Best sounding V8 is the GT350
Best sounding V10 is the Lexus LFA
V10 is CGT
F355s sounds nasty. Like older F1 cars. Too bad the up-keep on them is the way it is.
@Liam Maggs 812 Novitec N-Largo, F1 355 spider, f50 straight pipe.
best sounding car is the LFA
@@brandonauchterlonie9956 Novitec 812 before LFA.....IMO. Just due to the v12 being able to rev to 9,500 rpm. That's brutal as hell and damn near orgasmic. Especially on downshifts. They're crisp and truly ear erecting. The LFA sounds organic and lovely all around, the 812 is that plus hulk smash on your eardrums. Lol
Awesome video. Since last year I’ve been dead set on getting a 2003/2004 Terminator Cobra but the 350GT is growing on me fast plus it is such newer technology
I just got my 2018 350 a month ago and this video is my feelings to the T. I have never enjoyed a car this much and I've had several supercharged cars and a Shelby GT500 with 850RWHP. You're right. At this point in my life it's all about the experience. And I have as much fun driving this car at 40mph as I do winding it open. Since you're in Texas you should come to the Terlingua event we do every year the second week of October or the OctaneFest event the first week of October. I'm one of the event photographers for both. Would be great to see you there. You would have a blast.
I feel like that’s a car you just want to keep forever
I feel the same way. Time has flown so fast. Love the GT350
One of my four favorite cars: Shelby GT350, Camaro ZL1, Challenger Hellcat, and Corvette Z06. Nice ride you have there. Love the color.
Still love my 16 GT350. No problems and big smiles when driving. Great video!!!
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying yours as well!
2020 Gt350 R available! lmk!
I have owned 4 Mustang’s. 70 fastback, 89 5.0 fox, 14 GT and now a 16 ecoboost (great handing daily driver) But you hit the nail on the head. Your car checks all the boxes in my book. There will always be faster, better handling cars. But man that car just has it all. On my bucket list and I would take your GT 350 over the GT500 all day long. Best of luck with it!!
Great point about visceral emotions vs statistical speed....can’t wait to get into mine! Thank you!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Good summary of the 350 - you hit in on the head. I recently picked up a 350R and am very impressed. Compliments the 3RS well...two cars I plan to have around a long time (we have similar taste in cars). Cheers and enjoy in good health.
You have a 3RS as well!? Envious! Hopefully I'll have that duo sooner than later!
Always get a coupon for your oil changes!!! Just went over 2 year on mine also, got some free oil changes with purchase, getting ready to put tires soon. Now I want a GT500 too.
An American presenter who isn't annoying, very nice. Enjoyed the vid, thanks!
Great Video, got my 2018 new over a year ago, love it, same thing no issues.
10:59 Facts look at the 1960’s, 1970’s, & 1980’s vehicles...they are slow compared to what’s out today but the community welcomes the owners with open arms & love💚💚💚
Beautiful car, and I'd always look back everytime I walked away too!!!
16:47 could be a really nice wallpaper. Love the shot.
Dude sick vid. How did I not follow you. As of now this is my dream car. Hopefully by the time I get one you'll have your GT3 (which is another absolute dream car)
The GT350 is my favorite mustang I've ever driven! I have a 2015 mustang gt premium convertible 6 speed and certainly enjoy it! It's lowered and has a wicked exhaust system. But hopefully some day I will get a GT350.
Every time you downshift you get a smile haha nice gt350😍
Great video, informative 2 year review. I think I will be in the market for a 19 or 20 version soon....
Always been a Chevy guy but always loved Shelby 350 and 500's Rode in a 66 350 when I was in automotive school and it has NEVER left my mind.
Oh man, I'd love to experience an older 350!
Came over from your plinking page and just subscribed. Cool channel!
This is one of the best engines I've ever heard
“I always look back at it” hell yeah me too
A Shelby GT 350 AND a Raptor? You are blessed.
You should see his other channel 😅
Loved the Gt500
You yust convinced me
The 350 is now my dream car😍
Car still looks awesome man! Nice job keeping it clean! Hoping to pick one up myself soon!
Thank yah sir! Hope you do!
I agree with you that the performance talk is meaningless unless you literally race people every day, everywhere you go. I have a 2020 AMG C43 and it's not a "true" AMG becaue the engine block isn't hand built but there is more to a car than just how fast it can go. I didn't get the C63 even though it's got more power because I care about grip and AWD that the C43 offers. I love the car and its characteristics, exhaust sound, interior quality and design, etc. Drive what makes you happy. I wouldn't trade my C43 for something like an Evo that pumps out 900hp lol. We're not all 17 year old boys who only care about SPEED SPEED SPEED!
GREAT VIDEO. BEAUTIFUL MUSTANG. AND THE SOUND IS UNREAL. 😎🙏🇺🇸
SUPERB Video ...... Cant wait for the next one !!!!!!!!
Just got done watching your raptor video. Priceless that you want to keep it naturally aspirated. And I hope you own that truck for a long time and have a great time with it👍🏻. The reason why I say that is I just recently purchased a 2017 lightning blue GT-350 with white stripes👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅 and I don't think I will ever do anything to the car besides drive it and enjoy it. The only way I would change things up would be to find a wrecked GT-350and then maybe super charge it... I don't own a raptor but I do own a 2013 F150 super crew four-wheel-drive FX4, and I definitely know why you like the raptor... The Ford trucks are amazing!!! Just wanted to say great videos by the way, and keep enjoying those FORD'S 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅
Yes sir! What's funny is I never really intend to have a "theme" I guess with that cars I own. But looking back it's funny you can clearly see I'm a fan of large displacement naturally aspirated cars haha. I guess I also look like a Ford fanboy lol. Whatever, I certainly plan to keep both for a very, VERY long time.
Just watched the Ford vs Ferrari movie last night. It led me to start watching GT350 CZcams videos again😆. Your video was so cool because your pure love for this automobile shines through. Thanks for sharing!
Same here before watching the movie, I did not even know the name Shelby existed; if I see it on the street, I would say it is a Mustang lol, really nice car, and the movie was great.
Thanks for sharing. Glad your enjoying your GT350 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺 don’t see any in Australia 😱
I agree. I always try to get service where I got my car. I believe alot of dealerships will botch your ride if you didn't but it from them specifically.
Good choice man. I’m think about to have one gt350 look really nice car, and still can’t take off my eye out of this at whenever I saw this 👌
I bought my 2016 GT350 about 4 months ago. Had 4,400 miles on it. Mint. I love it.
Nice I have an 02 ss 35th anniversary with 14k on odometer
Didn't blow up?
@@GR-uc1gq I want to buy one but i keep reading about fucked up engines
@MUSTANG Junkies hahaha you will think this is cakewalk then man if you really throwing gears in a big rig.....the difference is this will actually be fun to drive and you dont have to run threw 13 gears
@MUSTANG Junkies well you may not want to be floating gears like im sure you do in 18 wheeler haha thats one thing
Stunning car, and an outstanding engine note / exhaust.
Great video, I really hope to some day own a Shelby GT350. Nothing sounds like a good mustang exhaust.
Great review of the GT350. I own an 06 GT, same color as yours but I have 197000 miles on mine and it still runs good. It is only a 300 HP automatic but it's enough since my wife drives it most of the time. I drive a 2010 F-150 4X4 5.4 Flexfuel. I still have a 1990 LX 5.0 5 speed that's covered up in my backyard not driven for 4 years now. My son and I are planning to restore it with a crate Coyote and supercharger. Hoping for 750 to 800 HP. I just subscribed to your channel looking forward to more great videos from you.
Thank you so much for the support!
I live right in that area on 1431. I've probably seen you around haha. Love the 350
Everything you mentioned in this video is exactly why I'm picking up a GT350 next April!
Nate Webber I ordered mine today. Can’t wait until April.
Jack Wolford give us an update
Is it 2019?
It will be a 2020 GT350. Red with black stripes and all options. I will post when I take delivery.
While I lost interest in mustangs in the past few years. The GT350 is such a mean car! And in that color scheme, just a good looking and sounding car.
I have always liked Mustangs but never figured I'd own own. The GT350 is a whole different stallion, or snake, or whatever haha
What a car! I'm currently in the market for a new 2019 one with the same color as yours.
Also enjoying my second year of owning a 350 also in the Houston area
I've had my 2017 350 for just over three years and 17k miles. Like it, but it is a bit rough for a daily driver. It gets about 18.4 MPG without throttling it out all the time. A bear in rush hour beltway traffic to be honest. Everybody hot to get the "R" version but don't suggest it for city/urban driving. I'd be scared for the wheels also. It isn't super smooth and the interior sucks to be honest but still fun. When the going gets twisty these really come to life and where the real strength is. Wonderful car for the money. I think I would after some thought also consider the new Supra, don't shoot me. I think I will keep mine for another two or so years.
On September 15 I’ll have three years ownership of my 17 GT 350. Enjoyed every minute driving it. Yes it does use some oil and I’m about to replace the rear tires at 14,000 miles after tracking it and auto crossing it a few times. But as they say have to pay to play! Yes and I enjoyed that after fire from the exhaust by cruising down from third or fourth gear and lightly touching the Excelerator gives off tons of delightful burbles and pops and bangs
Thats the rev match . Standard on all mustang gt's 2019 and up
Gary Wick GT 350s don’t have rev match. But the engineers did program the ECU to provide the runoff pops and crackles
Really thats crazy ! Rev. Is awesome
The cinematic shots in this video are superb. It’s hard to appreciate the work you put into this video if you haven’t made a video yourself. Good work man
I have an 03 Terminator that sounds good, But this GT350 sounds Amazing! Perfect sounding car no need for a radio! Sounds just like the Shelby off need for speed movie.
I’m a jdm and dodge fan but this car is by far my favorite car. And i never thought I’d like a Ford.
What is jdm?
Love my 2017 GT350. Only problem is ground clearance. Many speed bumps in my area that it cannot go over with damage.
Loved the review man !
"I don't want to start a war with the comment section" smart man...lol...I love that car
I have faith I’ll get mines when the right time comes.
Perfect color bro!
Love the photo of the GT350 and the key.
Thanks!
I own an LT4 car and ill tell you myself this is the best sounding v8...
That 5.2 is exclusive to the Shelby class cars this the first time that Ford has not carried over a motor to other models. That motor will worth a bundle yrs. Down the road.
I've been to 6:20, The Oasis in the back. Mountain Trail right on Lake Travis in Austin. My wife and I went swimming at Bob Wentz Park, but before that I was hauling ass around those corners near there in my Raptor :D
Bought mine brand new end of February, already close to 12k miles and not my daily driver. Yes the car is that good, yes you should buy one!
Damn, good stuff!
10:49-11:02 couldn’t agree more. Great video man
Lmao. Back seats down for that extra noise compliance ! I do it on mine too and the sound comes from behind you feels right. Also it helps cooling the interior faster because you don’t have a hot air bubble back there.
The difference in sound is nuts! haha
Love the Shelby man, I got a lightning blue 5.0 2017 and I love it. Wish I can afford a Shelby but is alright
Then he knows where we are coming from!!
You will love the gt350 . nothing wrong with the gt for sure.
GTs are badass too! 👍 I got a 15 myself.
Love the spoiler on your GT350. Wondering if you can tell me where you got it? Thanks
Nice view of the Oasis!
Great video and car! Any issues with excessive oil consumption or engine vibrations? Thanks!
Nice car bro! Sounds awesome.
Just ordered a ‘20 for my nephew. Thanks for posting this!
Can I also be your nephew?
I also would like to be a nephew
Yea, we'll become your nephews
You sound like my uncle.
You're getting a lot of new nephews
I’m a hellcat dude and dodge fanatic. But I gotta hand it to Ford cause they did this car so right. This thing is amazing! Looks so fun and that’s what it’s all about.
This thing is a good all over all item. For me, as a german, grown up with autobahn BMW, Merc and Porsche, it embodies the american style sports car. Drove the 350 on Nurburgring in 2018, bit heavy, but hell of fun going out of the corners. The 350 is a real sports car comming from the states, its even able to corner😊😊😊😊well done Ford. Regards from germany
It really is America's sports car all around. Iconic face, sounds, etc. but a pleasure to drive all around, not just straight lines. Cool to hear you experienced one on Nurburgring!
I will have one of these cars one day. For now I have to settle for my 20 year old 40k miles Mustang GT (Cobra R clone, Vortech Supercharged, Full Kenny Brown Road Race Suspension $25,000.00 in mods. 20 years old 171 mph at Talladega, lots of track days..Road Courses and Drag strip.....NO Problems what so ever!!
Ni cance video! And ..nice ride! Looking at a 2018 GT 350 at the moment. Any advice would be helpful!
Need to have a few thousand track day miles on that ride. I've gone thru many sets DOT streetable slicks, a couple pads upgrades, and non-drilled rotors .... about 10K miles on a '17. no trips long trips
When you are down shifting are you rev-matching? Is that sound coming from you pushing the gas pedal or by itself by downshifting?
very nice. just need some tint. Would you prefer or have you ever driven a ZL1?
I have a 18 and I still wonder if it was the “right car”
Every once in a while I think the ZL1 might have been better just for the raw torque But the thing is, I just don’t “like” it
The GT350 is very well rounded and that’s probably why it’s still the “right” car.
Some important things that aren’t normally compared car to car
Great visibility
Back seats decent
Rear trunk is big
Great seats
And for the obvious things
Relatively light and nimble
Handles damn well
Relatively fast
Sounds amazing
Looks very good
I agree with most of what you said. This is a high revving flat plane crank with a fantastic manual transmission. It’s unique, even if it’s a mustang.
I’ve been trying to decide what my next vehicle should be and something you said really hit home. Go for the one that won’t be available in the future. Naturally aspirated V8, manual transmission, and stupid grin....
Absolutely, a very special V8 at that!
Great, personal, visceral report.
Thanks George, glad you enjoyed!
Damn, gt350 and a raptor. You got yourself a new sub
Thank yah sir! Love your Raptor btw!
@@TexasRevving thanks Raptor brother🤙
There's a yellow one for 43K asking in NY... So hard to resist even if I want the blue with the white stripes
I really really want to get one sometime soon. I've been eyeing a couple in my area but I still gotta find a way to come up with 49k. One day.. hopefully. Just subscribed. Great videos!
Cool "GT350R" door/rocker decal on White R model at 14:00. Where can I get one for mine?
Wow two years the time Fly really fast and i love it especially the sound really loud and a question should you change the exhaust or keep it stock? But as always good video ;-)
Keep it stock, a simple resonator delete and that's it!
I'm still praying to Santa that he'll bring me one for Christmas
Same here bro
Praying to Satan or wut
@@MrAdrian13 🎅
You're praying to the wrong guy lol.
Squid Usn yep
Are there any interior rattles and noises?
I test drove a 2018 gt350 but the rattles from the dashboard and right passenger side of the car was super annoying, that car only had 4000miles on it.
I’ll be honest I wasn’t crazy about the 5.2 liter Voodoo flat-plane crank engine at first, I’ve always loved the 5.0 liter coyote the most and the 4.6liter, but after hearing this Voodoo motor scream and growl I just can’t put into words how much I love that sound especially with the resonator delete👌🏾🤓😩🙏🏾, also love your spec, if I ever got one tbh I’m not sure which color I would get because all Ford colors look good on it especially, lighting blue, orange fury, Ruby and race red, Oxford white well you know 😂😅
Haha I hear you, there is no bad color on it! Grabber blue with white stripes is another! We can both keep going... lol But yeah the voodoo is just a different beast. It's just so odd having a FPC that revs to 8,250rpm in a Mustang! 5.2L and 8,250RPM?!? It's just something else.
Love the color. I got a 2019 GT350 in magnetic grey - same color as my 2017 Raptor.
350 and Raptor... Can't name a better duo haha. Mag. grey looks awesome on any Ford Performance vehicle. I initially was looking for a blue raptor to try to match but ended up landing on the Terrain SVT.
What oil you running man. I used amsoil only on mine sense I owned it.
Very good point.. it’s an enthusiast’s car.
I have a 2019 GT. Level 2. Bought it new. And people are calling it a baby Shelby . 305 cup 2s frt and back like the R version. Fords finally making my kinda car . IM IN.
How’s that MT82?
@@closg9309 just fine. I let my cars break in first , about 2500 miles. Its ready ! I track mine . Its not a dragster.
My obtainable dream car some day such a well balanced and fun car. This car an mrt h pipe and roush exhaust would be the perfect combo.
