“I don’t really know when to end this vide-.” 💀
I love how they just cut shit off for this channel. LOL Brilliant and hilariously funny.
I know that it's coming, but it's just so unexpected. Makes me laugh every time
I would love to just end my conversations this way. Mid sentence blam walk away Im done talking....hahaha
Gt 350r deserves a full video on the main channel compared against other cars in it's price range
Yes, compared to the Corvette C7 Grand sport and the Camaro SS1LE
Yes way better then the shelby gt super snake that is just over price for the name. Nothing compared to this gt350 R
@@jmm1174 it’s a bit beyond the SS 1LE in price, but not quite ZL11LE, especially when packages and options start piling onto the GT 350R
Edit: the GT350R is ~$73000 so it’s WAY beyond the SS 1LE. So many people want to compare the two when all they likely want is to piss on Chevys.
agreed 100%
Compare to the base Nissan GT-R.
Most likely one of the best sounding stock cars ever!
LFA for me but this one is def up there
@@latinbeandip and Carrera GT
Whenever Sounding +stock put in one sentence, yo gotta end it with just one car : Jaguar F-Type !
Lamborghini also
I think he means American stock cars. This car actually sounds like a tin can next to a Lamborghini, sorry let’s be real. I still love this car but I know deep down I’m only looking at it because it’s more attainable than a Lamb. This car sounds comparable to an 80’s testarrossa with custom pipes
Your production quality on main channel is mind blowing. If u want to cut cost with making videos like this one, so be it, I am all in!
They should just upload everything on the main and get more views. Idc for production quality. Just loving every new video.
Yea tbh the 2 of them make the videos great, not even the production quality really. They’re hilarious and give great feed back from what they’re feeling and seeing like a normal person would see and feel
@@guntherdadson5046 they don’t fake stuff either they are 100% with their viewers
Jesus loves you
This car will go down as one of the best fords ever made in my opinion. Scratch that it will go down as one of the best cars ever made.
No. It won’t.
@@garyredmond6873 of course a guy that takes pictures with his shirt off would say this 😂🤡.
@@abrahamtorres1659 lmao, I guess I can’t argue with you there. 🤣
😂@@abrahamtorres1659
definitely not
Every time I hear the Voodoo, I know it revs to 8250, but I always find myself thinking it redlines lower than it does...so when it passed that audible expectation, it feels like it'll rev to infinity. Mama mia.
I would like them to make an aluminator version. Cross plane but same rpm.
The best line is when Cammisa wound it out on Head2Head for the first time: " Are they kidding?!? They're kidding." And then lots of unintelligible orgasmic noises 😂
I'm going to go watch that review again now.
I own 2 and still short shift them all the time
Couldn't agree more. You summed up that feeling perfectly
@@alistairwillock7266 Cammisa is the right amount of fangirl entertainment
I am so happy you guys finally got to drive this!!!! Most exciting driving experience under $100k.
Not their best car review, and this car is super special, it deserves more.
@@SnakrGarage savage geese made a great one if you want a more detailed take.
Eddie I can tell your haircut is dusty from here😂😂
Spectacular car, and that 6-speed is special, but I would argue the GT500, without the carbon fiber/track package, would be a better experience for under $100K.
Eh lots of other stuff that’s just as fun if not better for the same price range. It’s not really that quick stock.
GT350R will go down as one of the greatest American cars EVER made in history, the 500 is an unbelievable car that humbles 300k plus supercars but the 350R has such a special driving experience that no car for that price can give you.
Was able to scrimp and save since 2015 when the GT350 came out and finally bought a 2020 Black GT350 last year. Carbon fiber instrument panel from the factory and Cup2s are just the icing on the cake from a monsterous sounding engine. Got a car seat in the back so my kid can have a little fun too on the way to daycare.
I guess I need to become a math tutor too 🤣
Nice man, 2019 and up the ones to have!
Enjoy every moment my friend!
Hahaha...I thought I was the only one with a car seat in the back of my GT350! (or as my 4 yo daughter calls it...my vroom vroom car!)
@@majangwang I remember my math tutor back in high school made fuckin Bank prepping me for classes as a side job at night
That is definitely one of the best looking mustangs ever
The GT350 is the closest thing you can get to Porsche GT3 feel in an affordable package. Love it! I want one so bad!
MANY owners of GT3s own these as second cars.
@@02hreblue30 GT3RS?
I’m so thrilled y’all posted this. Just bought a 2019 350r a month ago in shadow black. I’m so thrilled I have my wife watching it with me. She loves the car too. Much love from Georgia!
I bet it’s slower than the dark green 96 GT we use to drift onto 41 with 🤣
@@Boostedm3nace yoooo!! Throttle House is my shit!! You paint your car orange or is that a different one? Looks like you work at The Surface Masters!!
@@Boostedm3nace I put a couple vids on Tiky Tak!
@@MStrange88 I wrapped it myself. She’s putting down 620whp these days 😈
@@Boostedm3nace 😳
Not really into mustangs, but if I had to choose one, this would be it.
Totally agree. The GT3 of front engine performance cars
Same
idk about performance but aesthetically and in terms of sound this is my favorite mustang
If I were woke up at 3am by this thing going down my street at 90mph, I'd be happy.
My neighbor has one and I smile every time he takes it out for a spin. Shakes my house.
Where do you live? I can oblige if you're not too far away. You want the valves open or not? 😂
I revbomb in front of my neighbors. I’ve gotten mixed responses
We really need an official track time. This would certainly be near the top.
Yeah absolutely! However, given that the new GT350R has seen some significant upgrades since this 2016 model, we felt a lap time wouldn’t be representative this time
@@ExtraThrottleHouse absolutely, I 100% agree. Whenever you guys can get the CFTP GT500, we need to see how that compares to the R.
You just got the idea of a new video here
@@ExtraThrottleHouse I instinctively read this in Thomas' "presenter" voice
The car really isn't as fast as people let on. One of the most over hyped cars of all time. A PP2 GT is almost as good for wayyyyyy less.
And this is why I will never be able to embrace electric vehicles. I don’t care how much faster the Taycan or Tesla are, neither will ever give you the full driving experience like a row-your-own monster like this. Great vid, gents!
SO SO TRUE!!
True! Though I'll say the Taycan is a pretty nice EV all around as a daily, but yeah it'll never come close to the true sheer driving badassery like the GT350 or should I get more technical to compare to another Porsche, the GT3.
James' first pull when he realizes it just keeps going is priceless.
To me it’s just so present how much engineering and work was done to make this car so amazing.
No thanks I'll have a Mach e
Said no one ever!
One of the ALL time greatest engines EVER!
Not really...
@@NoOne56488 he said one of and it’s his opinion
@@NoOne56488 yes really
It is. However putting a flat plane crank in an engine this large is a recipe for high maintenance. Whether it's Italian or American, vibrations will be an issue.
That is the d*mn truth.
The 69 Boss 429 is my absolute dream car. But this Mustang is just gorgeous.
this would eat your Boss for lunch. Sweet looking but it was a slow street car
@@02hreblue30 I know you're not wrong, but man, the engine on the 429 is special. And yes, admittedly I love it's look.😅
3:35 I agree with the captions, the exhaust note is music
a V-8 should not rev that high! That is unreal! one of the best sounding v8s ever made!
The sounds this car made doing the Nuremburg Ring were glorious.
Yes the flat out nature of the ring accentuates the engine note like a nice glass of wine to steak.
haha every time I see a video of one of these its just SMILES FOR MILES I LOVE mine ill keep her for life nothing like that sound its UNREAL and the videos can't even get close to giving it justice its by far one of the best sounding cars on the planet
I wouldn’t go that far, but it’s rly good 😂
Agreed
@@nikomoin7604 I own one and I don’t disagree
I don’t own one and i can Agree its 1 of the best sounding cars for sure I wish the hellcats would sound this good
so, to quote Archer "this must be hard to drive, with such a massive, throbbing erection" lmao I tend to be kinda harsh on armerica cars, since it's always been such a shame to me that we make all these amazing v8's yet they're almost always in big heavy behemoths with handling as an afterthought. And while one of the first things i would do with my gt350 would be to find sommmmmmme way to reduce the weight by a couple hundred pounds, and put way skinnier tires on it, I do love these
Amazing car. I'll keep my gt350 forever. With all downsizing and electrification coming.... this car will be a collectible machine.
I’ve actually driven, lived with, and track day’d this beauty, badass amazing track car. Best sounding Shelby of all time.
Damn that GT350 R sounds amazing, I can't wait for the flat plane crank v8 in the new C8 Corvette. Americans are giving the Germans and Italians a run for the money.
im glad you guys finally did a video on the 350R, but come on this deserves a main channel upload and an official track time
This car will be sought after long after most cars of today are completely forgotten
Ever since that car came out its been my dream car. It checks all the boxes. Looks amazing, and is a real drivers car❤😍
I never thought a Mustang would ever be a dream car but this, this is bat far a Dream car of mine. It and the Viper ACR. You just can't beat what they are and their purposes.
True!!!
this car is so good that I bought two and someone offered to buy my first one above msrp.. its one of the best drivers cars, unbelievable until you actually drive one, like seriously... not even about the speed anymore, theres plenty of cars faster but the way this car makes you feel.
I just laugh my ass off every time I push in the clutch at high rpm and it let's out a nice big pop
I Bought 3 last year including an R. Incredible car and I have driven every exotic up to 7 figure plus cars on road and on track.
Bravo to Ford Performance for building a proper enthusiast sports car!!!!
Nailed it!
It's not the quickest thing on the street but im grinning every time I drive it. IDC if my wifes 17 year old SL 55 kicks my ass at the drag strip, it's boring compared to the 350.
Yes but people don't drive cars anymore. They want appliances more then vehicles. Hell majority don't even know how to drive a manual. Sad 😥
@@timothycc711 Quite sad and most people claiming to be "car guys" just care about the speed rather than the actual driving feel... especially those electric fan boys, oh my car got so much fancy tech and accelerates faster than anything so its better than your car... pls sigh...
Proud to have been the first person to sell one of these.. I’ve always had a thing for these ever since because everything around them is an experience. I just may have one soon 👀
If I remember correctly I think the 350r comes with the resonators deleted from the factory. Such an unbelievable sounding vehicle!
I have a 17 gt350 straight piped with full kooks exhaust and no cats. I can’t even describe the sound that it makes at 8250 rpm but it’s nothing short of glorious
The GT350 is my current dream car. mazing sound paired with a high redline and manual transmission🤤
and that's another car i've fallen in love with. that exhaust note is just bliss
I love this channel so much for your really honest facial expressions and raw emotion you show. Your other stuff is as good but different! You two (and your team) deserve every bit of fame and fortune that comes your way!
That engine is something else. I'm not even driving it, or riding along, but this engine makes me smile. The noise it makes above 7k rpm is just wonderful.
It’s funny how all these new cars keep coming out with more power, better specs, etc, and yet, the Shelby GT350 is still one of the best drivers cars out there. High rev, good power, intoxicating sound, great chassis...
Every time I watch a GT350 video I get Goosebumps. The reaction of anyone who drives put a smile on my face. I can't wait to drive or ride in one!
"That's a good noise". Understatement of the years James. 😁
When you can make a driver say "oh my Jesus", you know you have a special car.
The revving almost reminds me of a Yamaha R6. It goes so freakin high that you almost don't want to rev it all the way out because you feel like you're going to instantly break it
Don’t forget guys.....that Voodoo sound IS part of the mustang interior. Therefore its priceless 😁
Uncontrollable giggling from Thomas. Great stuff.
As much as I like electric cars this is the thing I just don't know how we're going to live without. Engine noise matters.
I often watch this video from time to time. Thomas is spot on in the comparison between the GT350 and the GT PP2! As an owner of both cars, PP2 1st and upgrading to my dream car of the GT350, I cannot explain the comparison he shared any better! On the drive home from the dealership, I was speechless... often infected with the bolt on modifications bug, I summed it up by saying that this car needs nothing. On this earth, there are very few cars on the planet that you can say that I can have as much driving this car hard in the 1st and 2nd gear with the equal satisfaction in 3rd and 4th gear on a fast winding road? I yearn for the day when I get the opportunity to flog a GT350R, because the 2019 GT350 is just that damn great!
You often watch it, or you watch it from time to time?
If your driving hard in any gear above 2nd, your a lawbreaker mister..:)
I just got my R 2 months ago and I live in Illinois I just put her away it was painful putting the cover on it ! I’ve had Porsche’s always had do exhausts etc this car rocks my world stock !
true - also why don't see many gt350 channels on youtube - because there isn't much you can tinker with - unless you're like most socially inept youtubers that live on addarell and can't leave things alone....
The reaction from all people driving the gt350s I’d just like this. One of the best drivers cars made and best modern mustang created. Literally everyone that reviews these gt350s love them
Thomas' laugh is infectious. I only half listened to what they said because I was laughing so much.
Considering how much I love my 17 GT, I can only imagine how epic this car is..
The look on James's face the first time he revs it out is incredible. Plus Thomas's constantly giggling.
You guys really need to do a actual full video on the main channel with this car...
The expressions on your faces were amazing. 🤣 Love your vids
The best sounding American V8 ever ❤️
I can watch you guys and Mark and Jack/Savage Geese all day. It's wonderful to see you having so much fun. Take good care.
I like both throttle house channels, glad you were able to give us both. Almost can't tell this is lower budge--
it was already so expensive you guys just had to give it an amazing review and make the prices go up
Possibly the best all around car for the money that will ever be built. I'm fortunate to have one and I'm glad Ford finally stopped selling them. These cars will hold their value for years to come.
I much prefer the one take feel of these videos actually. Feels much more genuine and less scripted.
As a owner of this car it’s crazy how amazing it feels to be driving this thing and the amount of smiles it puts on my face . Very happy owner :)
I shat on one today with my c63s, he tried to keep up with me but eventually gave up!!!
Now that ford has canceled the R I’m sure this will gain value
My favorite modern looking mustang, it looks so damn good and it sounds delightful! My top mustang forsure
Such an iconic car. I truly believe it's going to increase its beauty within over the years for its production ended and there’s probably not going to be any other car following in its footsteps concerning a combustion engine with V8 and flat plane crank. Ford did build a serious competitor for all European “premium” sports cars of its segment - and maybe even beyond that. Thanks for your enthusiastic review with on point comments and a great personal note…as always.
I’m so glad you guys finally did a video with GT350R. The smiles on both your faces are priceless. I’m happy to tell you, the smiles never end while in a GT350R. I bought mine almost 2yrs ago and I remember it getting pulled out of the showroom like it was yesterday. Happy times. One thing I will say. This car drinks fuel like it’s happy hour all day everyday.
Dream car man 😭 even if I can just get my hands on a normal GT350, these cars are so special ❤️
They totally justified my purchase of the regular GT350. Not that I needed one after owning one for 6 months already but seeing the joy on thier faces...
James, as a former Hollister manager, I love seeing that seagull on your shirts. Cheers.
500 is a street monster, 350r is a track monster! The Viper ACR and the 350r are perfect examples of brilliant American track focused cars. Both also look Insanely good with white black and red
Viper ACR yes. 350R not, especially when SS 1LE is as or faster than at all but the longest tracks which emphasize HP over chassis performance. Also, need to consider the PSC2s 350R comes on as well. Just not worth the extra $$$ and vodoo headaches if you are really tracking the car hard. Most folks will never exploit the available performance and just like to hear the engine sound and cruise. Which is fine, but really "one of the all time greats"? Not really.
@@FL50ssp in terms of driver engagement, noise, looks, and enjoyment the 350r is better in my opinion. Your opinion may be different, but everyone loves the 350r. It’s a brilliant machine, and I’m a lifetime mopar fan.
@@nathanmaynard131 Not sure everyone loves the 350r but ok if you want to believe that go ahead. As for driver engagement, Alpha chassis is so much better than 350r and that has been proven. If by driver engagement you are referring to an unsettled chassis when you begin to push the car hard. Then yes you are correct 350r is certainly more involved as you are having to correct for chassis shortcomings. Looks are subjective, as is sound. As for enjoyment, this is also subjective. But from my perspective, I'm very glad I passed on buying a 350r. I for one do not consider oil consumption, blown engines, horrible dealership experience/s as enjoyment. But to your point maybe some do and are willing to pay more for less. One day in the future the herd will see the 6th Gen Camaro for what it really is. Until then we can continue to disagree. Enjoy your 350r and I hope you aren't experiencing any of the typical issues with these cars.
@@FL50sspthe engine noise in the GT350R alone is better then a viper acr and ZL1 combined
@@FL50ssp 2 years later and all the 6th gen has is being discontinued, meanwhile the Gt350 is still highly sought after. All time great, indeed.
I don't know what I enjoyed more: the expected sounds from the Voodoo 5.2 or the expressions of absolutely blissful driving Nirvana coming from the both of you.
Thomas kept me smiling through the whole video.
Great review gents, Genuine Sports Car(when have you able to say that about a Mustang) . I've loved the GT-350/GT-350R since their launch back in 2016...sad that they have ended production. That Voodoo V8 it puts a spell on you😆
I was searching for "mustang gt throttle house review" just right now, and I see this video. What a timing!
Indeed!
That Mustang is my dream car. I was about to buy one a few months ago, but the deal felt fishy on that specific one. But man, it is just such a proper car!
The GT350R is glorious.
The not being able to side it around is an S197 chassis thing, not just a GT350 thing. Even my '08 GT was like that. When you start tho get sideways, it either grips and snaps back straight or goes all the way around. I could never steer mine with the throttle, unlike my SN95 ( '03 Mach 1).
Ford hit the money with this one! I'm not a Ford fan but this car is a definite want.
Best sounding, best looking and best Mustang imo!
You can tell from watching this that Thomas really loves this car. James likes it too but you can see the enthusiasm great video guys that’s what driving is all about
I downsized a small collection to buy a 2017, 4 years old, with 32 miles. Now over 1000, and loving EVERY mile! One of a kind Mustang,and never again I would guess.
I'm not even driving the car. Why can I not stop smiling? This car has no equivalent. Amazing.
The beautifull noise of a V8
The most visceral experience available in almost any price range from Ford or any manufacture!
Agree. But the haters are gonna complain that it's not a Porsche.
Love the genuine obvious friendship bond that comes across on your videos.
This car checks so many happy boxes. It's the ultimate mustang, period...
Man, Throttle House and Extra Throttle House videos are the best. Thanks, guys.
Early on a throttle house video, finally! Well "extra" but who cares, still counts.
You got here "extra" early

@@SL4PSYM4XY I hear ya. definitely a few of those coming up. Next one is the 2022 Genesis G70 I believe. But the one before that has a road and track segment. We definitely don’t want to become the “track channel.” But there’s certainly some pent up energy from a winter of crossovers.
@@jamesengelsman9369 haha! That’s totally understandable. I’ll be looking forward to it. Oh and I’d regret not saying this, since I have your ear, so here it goes.

So damn beautiful
This car is proof that Ford Performance employs ACTUAL wizards. 🤯🤣
I’m partial to Mopar but....the gt350 and 350R are insane track-shredding monsters that I would gladly own and enjoy...They look and sound angry af...Ford got these cars right. Well done 👍🏻
You guys *FINALLY* did it! Ive been waiting so long for thus video.
Thanks for sharing your experience! 👍. They are amazing cars and awesome to drive. I was lucky enough to find a 2020 GT350R Heritage Edition Last year! This is definitely a keeper! Thanks for sharing! 👍
I have mixed feelings about loud cars, and I hate the pop-and-gurgle thing that a lot of people like, but that engine sounds absolutely fantastic.
It has quiet mode and makes it very quiet
This GT350 R, the engine is everything a car guy could ask for....!
Been a die hard ford man my whole life. Proud of these cars!
