Sorry for the miss conception on the video. Car was recently put on the dyno in NC. Car made 527whp on 93 pump gas. Temp inside shop during dyno was 98 degrees fahrenheit with a humidity level of 87%. I hope this helps clear up any confusion and miss led information.
Maybe 600 at the crank....
Over 600 Hp at the wheels??? So....like near 700 Hp at the crank while still naturally aspirated...and all that increased power by doing exhaust work and a tune.....right
on e85, people are getting low 500s RWHP. The highest hes at on a 93 tune will be around 485-490 on the extremely high end of the spectrum. That dude is so full of it i can smell it from my house.
It looks and sounds wicked, regardless of the horsepower.
Kristofer Trista yea he’s lying but it’s still a nice car nonetheless
@@dvbs3608 agreed
that's how mustang rolls, on a GT you can get 500+ RWHP with E85 and headers alone, bigger fuel injectors too.
camaro you have to change internals or go FI lol
Hahahahaha 600 to the wheels let’s just chalk that up to a simple Mistake and excitement. I don’t want to ruin your fun but you’re in a flooded content market. People are going to know if you’re full of it.
As others have noticed, this thing no way makes 600 hp at the wheels. Lucky to make 470. But it is loud, which seems to be what the guy wanted most anyway.
gmonsen it makes 500 at the wheels. Dunno tested stock
"I feel like I'm going somewhere special everytime I drive it." 💥BOOM💥 This is the very first car I've had ZERO buyer's remorse after purchasing.
14:05 there's your 350 Boom
That car is beyond fun to drive. In Alberta Canada we only get 6 good months of driving per year so you really have to make it count! Absolutely no regrets buying my 350!
That's for sure we get the same deal in CT gotta make it count👌🏻
These cars are made to make you smile while driving.
The GT350 with the factory tune, things don’t really begin to happen until you hit 4K. For a street car, for me, that’s a benefit. You can use that very controllable lower power around town and when you want, get crazy. Brutal power across the rev range is great for the track. For the street, not so much.
That's a different way of looking at it amazing how a tune can change all that though
We want more Videos from this GT350 Sounds freaking amazing i am addicted.
Using a harness like that without a HANS device and helmet is extremely dangerous. The factory seatbelts have a calibrated amount of give to reduce peak g forces to the driver in a crash. All of that energy is now transferred to your neck instead of the seatbelt with a harness.
Source: I worked where these cars are engineered and tested until recently.
I'll pass that along to my friend thank you for the feedback
Agreed bro...well said
He can use it if the harness is an ASM harness, I have one in my GT3 and can use it without a hans for daily driving. It allows one side to break away like a standard 3 point system. But looks like his is not theASM model
PS4GameCapture Ari that’s exactly right and Schroth does an ASM in the 3 inch so you can run a 4 point harness without the risk of submarining. I’m not sure either if this is them because the breakaway portion would be obscured over his left shoulder.
Negative my man. Schroth ASM 4 point is street legal and approved for this application. Btw, they run non ASM harnesses on the Track Attack cars without a HANS
That exhaust sounds bad ass, this is the car I want and will get. That's pure American muscle right there.
Great vid James. That GT350 should not be smoking just 1Q low on oil. Many of the street tunes have produced fueling issues causing cylinder 4 rings to over heat, scoring the cylinder wall from piston ring damage. Take a look at that spark plug, perhaps a leak down test. Love the content...
Thank you for the feedback! I'll pass the tip along to my friend👌🏻
now me and the mad scientist gotta rip apart the block and replace the piston rings you fried!
This is really making me miss my 2018 Mustang GT.
This was a great vlog. Content and conversation with this gentleman was a great look. I mean what do you do when you can have a C8 or a GT 350 R. What I opted for (and I'm a Ford guy) was the C8. That is the base car and hottests car for a vlog right now.
I just picked up a c7 for about 10k less than the average used gt350 and almost half the price of a c8 with only 30k miles. I was waiting to see if the c8 came in manual but no dice so back to c7 vs 350. Then I started noticing how many 350s were having engine and oil problems so that was a no go since the car has to be my daily and bulletproof. Needless to say there is no better value car than c7 right now and I couldnt be happier. It's a beast for the price. Maybe not as rare at a gt350 but its a little faster than the 350, cheaper, better fuel economy, more reliable, etc. you just have to be able to live with the old man in new balance sneakers stigma
I was in the market for a GT350 - Just and FYI and not noted in your 'blog' these cars are notorious for burning oil and blown engines.
That's not surprising. This was a completely different style engine for Ford
Shame though
I like performance vehicles like this Shelby here as well as the All New Chevrolet Corvette. Bad thing in this video is that having a modified exhaust not only increases noise pollution, but also increases the amount of gas you use. For a great price like this for this years' vehicle in the video, I'd say it's perfect for buying especially even when you want to customize it. Sad thing is you cant customize your wheel design. There's nothing bad I have to say about this especially the great thing about the gallons per mile. And I forgot to mention if you push it to it’s limits whether or not, you’re going to constantly consider changing tires, which are expensive.
Better keep that oil level in check bro
You can say that again lol
It holds 10 quarts. It’s all good
Sorry but you’re not making 610whp on PUMP GAS. You’re definitely in the mid 400’s. Nice car nonetheless.
Yeah that's a major douche assertion. Picking up 150 rhp from headers, exhaust and a tune ... 🙉🙉👎👎
Uh, sure you can. Its rather straight forward.
500 rwhp stock Dyno tested
@timmy _ depending on which program you use to determine rear wheel horsepower the car actually comes in around 500 at the tires again depending on whether you using Dynojet or the other one. It does have more power than claimed by Ford
timmy _ that’s more realistic. I would say 480 to 500 stock on dynojet
Loved the exhaust notes when getting on it....
I was at Griffin Ford with my 7 yr old son to buy a 2017 Ford Fusion platinum. My son couldn’t stop bugging me about this car. I told him “ son I’m too old for it sadly.
How old are you?
If u still breathing n walking, u ain't old
@@hfr8343 52yrs
@@mannyhenry1356 There's still time bro. Your age group are the only ones that can afford them anyway lol
Traded my ‘17 less than a year after buying it new. Given the amount of low mileage GT-350’s that came up for sale after I traded mine, I guess a lot others did too!.
Austin Powers - So why did you trade it so soon? What did you trade for?
Joel Remland For a ‘19 C7 2LT. The Voodoo engine vibration was unbearable and the fit and finish was terrible for an $80K car. It’s was also a pig on gas.
Interesting it really seems to be a hit or miss on these cars.
James Salvatore That’s probably the best way to describe the GT-350.
Austin Powers -How does your 2019 Vette compare so far? Comfort? Ride? Gas?
I have a Mustang GT 2017, it has come to that summer time point where I’m checking tons of GT350 (and R) videos. Second time now… I think I know how this story ends for me. Love my car (puts me smiles every time I drive it too) but a Shelby GT350 is something else.
NICE VID..I TRADED MINE IN EARLIER THIS YEAR 4 AN 18 CORVETTE GRANDSPORT 2LT..NOW I DO NOT HAVE 2 WORREY ABOUT THAT ENGINE GOING OUT ON ME UNDER WARRENTY..N FORD GIVING ME A HARD TIME..SO MUCH NICER LOW-END POWER+BETTER INTERIOR + BETTER FIT ON EVERYTHING!!NO MORE DRAMA NOW..GOOD-LUCK!
They're both cool cars congrats on the new ride
Respect to GT350 but I’ll take GT 5.0 any day. GT350 is known to burn oil. GT 5.0 is bulletproof and mods, sky’s the limit.
Can also get them $30k less and add a supercharger and make more power than the gt350 lol
610rwhp NA 😂😂😂😂😂. These cars make like 450rwhp stock, youre telling me a tune and cold air intake and catless headers added 160rwhp? The cold air take didn’t even add 5rwhp to begin with, the CAI’s are so well built OEM you get no gains going aftermarket especially on a car like a 350 where the CAI is already very well. My whipple supercharged 2017 GT makes 650rwhp with cat deletes like his car on a 91 tune. The absolute MOST this car makes is 500rwhp
Loudness is the key difference from the regular GT V8. Of course there are many other differences that give you a bettter ride and style but that’s most,y subjective. The bottom line for most of us is the cost and value issues. The cost benefits are marginal compared to the very powerful and good looking GT level Mustangs.
My friend had a 2016 Shelby gt350 with resonator delete. Sounded so wicked these mustangs handle amazing too!!! Great video!
Thank you!
Watch the end of the video at 14;30, yes these motors EAT oil!! Mine does as well, some don't but more do than don't.
Wish he would've let you drive the whip. Good to share the experience. Just don't rag it or glance a curb!
Driveway Demons got a gt350 and has done some amazing things with it!
Thanks so much. I am really looking into picking up a GT 350. Originally I was going to go for the GT.
Glad it helped out its a fun car
Now that was a fun vid. I had a smile on my face the whole time. You two were like a couple of teens joyriding in that beast. As a bonus, every time that engine roared my testosterone levels increased.
Same here, love that engine note.
Engine was revised for 2019/20 to fix the oil issue
Seriously?
@@teddydavid2816 yeah ford made a lot of changes to address the oil consumption. Very few to no 2019-2020 gt350 owners have complained about oil consumption and engine failures. But they go from 65-70k which is ridiculous.
Beyond ridiculous…..it’s fucking pathetic 😝
You saved me a lot of money. Keep a case of oil in the trunk.thanks
I like the car. This one is NOT making 600whp!
Car feels slow and struggles at lower rpms but shines up top. Overall a fun car and with the right setup and mods is a beast.
For sure it's an awesome ride
I Like mustang more than anything else that my dream car I'm technically young right now but I live in Jamaica but I don't think it can drive over because it too fast for the short and bad road just by watching you today make me want too drive it right now
You'll get there one day
Where does the torque drop off? Does 8200 rpm matter?
I'm not sure to be honest I'm assuming definatley before 8200 redline it's usually a few hundred rpm before
Isn’t the very low front end a problem with frequent scraping of the expensive front splitter and underside of the GT350. It seem to be about 1” above the ground and would easily scrape in driveways and curbs etc etc? I’d be worried about hitting or bottoming out all the time on road. Not for street use more for a flat track?
why? because it's a freaking amazing monster that looks gorgeous, puts a smile on your face when you accelerate, and it's a mustang for god's sake!
love the vlog. you should definitely sprinkle it in with your regular videos
Got one coming up soon Porsche track day event
Really trying to decide between this and a C7 GS or Z06 and haven't seen any good comparisons. Decisions, decisions...
I'd probably go vette personally but I feel you I don't have access to those to do a comparison
Get the grand sport. Better value, better reliability. Engine and noise not as good but that voodoo reliability is too scary in my opinion.
The GS is amaaaaaaazing. Borrowed my boys joint two weekends in a row...I love the GT350 but that C7’s low end torque and beauty of that car is the sweet spot....
That gt350 nastyyyyyyyyy ASF
Really like you are driving , want to buy one
Any car will burn oil driving it like that lol sounds amazing.
Wait a min. Let me get this right. LOL. your title is "Why You Should Buy a Shelby GT 350 in 2020" but at the end of the video you GT350 is burning oil and smoking?
You do have a point there lol, but technically his car was modded so a few kinks are being worked out but nothing wound up being wrong he was just low a quart
James Salvatore Being low on oil caused his car to start smoking? I’d love to see compression and leak down test results. Hey, a dyno sheet too while we’re at it!
Would the Shelby 2.9L supercharger match well to the motor. The turbo kits are not a favorite for me. I would run any car that I’m picking up the air for the intake low down by the road. With the turbos down under the motor you can only run small are filters. They are not rated for the CFM that you are pulling though it. I bet all the people that have the kit can pull off the air filter and wipe the inside of the turbo and get a finger full of dirt.
couldn't get past the blurry camera work in the beginning
Love the car but it’s just too loud. 👮♀️ would be all over me in virginia
Haha it's worth it though
@@JamesSalvatore not worth getting killed over it
How much oil do you need to add in between oil changes?
I've read these engines are thirsty for oil
about a quart not bad
What is the point on lying with the horse power in such an unashamed manner? 600 in the rw? Sure. Either way the car is awesome and I m happy for the dude
What state and area was this filmed? It looks nice. Sweet ride.
CT Woodbridge
GT350 does NOT have long gearing lol. It actually has short gearing. It’s got a 3.73 rear end.
May seem long when it revs to 8250.
The 350 sound so nasty I love it. I wish I could afford a 350
Way to loud and under 4000rpm nobody home torque wise. It’s great for the track but will drive you nuts as a DD. A few engines have been replaced and will continue until the warranty is up. Vibration seems the big problem. Drive it hard and prepare for oil consumption and future replacement.
You look like Charlie from two in a half men hahahahahaha
I've gotten that a few times lol
Any update on the engine
Appreciate the video , but the driver is not as knowledgeable as he would have others believe.
Yeah he doesnt know what he's talking about.
I'm going to ford.ca right now to price and build. Gonna be way more in Canadian for sure.
Short-shifting, short-shifting, short-shifting. If you wanna show off your awesome exhaust, red line that fucking car!
High oil consuming and common engine failures ... nah! I prefer a Challenger Hellcat... the real drag race beast
Best review
the dyno is "probably" telling me around 600...
lol
He recently got it Dyno at 575 hp
Triple X pipe.........LOL......no dyno yet though.
Evidence these cars burn oil then explode . I still want one .
Nice Mustang 🐎
I Want one of these so bad or the GT500
Awsome video and good quality all around. That sound is insane
Thank you glad you enjoyed it👌🏻
The voodoo has a lot of problems. I’m would love one just for the exotic nostalgia. How much is it going to cost out of the gate to fix the VooDoo??
Really? What kind of problems? I’m looking forward to buying one
@@JorgeMoren0 the gen 1 (2016-2018) voodoo engines are notorious for oil consumption and a lot of owners have had the engine replaced. And without warranty, the cost for labor and parts to replace a vodoo is around 30k dollars.
It would cost around 25-30k to replace a voodoo engine without a warranty. Or you can buy a gen 2 voodoo for 65-70k. Not worth it.
@@ZFA1738is the Gen2 worth it?
@@Sloimer I think if money isn’t an issue and you can drop 60-70k on a gen 2 gt350 then I’d say most definitely worth it. But if you’re an average joe then buying a regular mustang gt is the better option financially.
Can you posted al the kids the got your car to push 600+ btw awsome video 😎
Can’t be claiming over 100 wheel hp a cold air and exhaust without a dyno sheet. He’s probably making 525 to the wheel
great mods but the hp is a lie. it makes 526 crank stock
That f*ckin GT350 is God Level glorious....holy smokes 😂😂😂😂😂
This is an honest video. Not histrionics or ‘don’t look away from me’
Thank you
Nice coverage and nice setup. However, they never covered why you should buy a Shelby in 2020. Disappointing.
I love the Vlog.. Haha u were wrong buddy!
That exhaust sounds brutal.
Pathetic people trying to ruin others' fun. Good thing those cops were cool.
Yeah pretty much I find that’s a common thing for people to do when I film cars and people see a cool car and a camera
That wicked exhaust sound and the massive brakes are the best features of this car.
That wicked exhaust sound and the massive brakes are the best features of this car.
Ford replaced my engine due to Oil issues. Was eating 1qt per thousand miles.
Gerald Taylor thank you for letting me know I'll pass it along to my friend
James Salvatore No Problem!
I don't know who needs to read this, but horsepower isnt everything. Gear ratio and torque are much more involved in "seat of the pants" feeling. And 700 horsepower out of a 500hp factory long block without head work or cams? No.
But it’s so loud it must be 200 hp faster 🥴
Looks like sellersville PA
K - Feb Actually it's CT
James could you ask Harrison what tune he has?
yeah I'll see what he says but I know what shop did it if you call Aci Dynamix in Seymour CT you can prolly buy the tune from them just Google it for the number
@@JamesSalvatore thanks for the fast reply!
If it’s burning a quart of oil then, he didn’t break it in correctly
That could have been part of the issue because i drove it back from Virginia all highway miles not enough change in rpm along with many of the other problems the 2016-2018 engines had. The original engine actually blew up and they replaced it with a brand new 2020 engine
Basically you voided the warranty
Truthfully you can get these smiles from a much cheaper GT especially with a manual. What would you do if you owned a GT? My GT is fun and sounds great too, but not the same as the GT 350. Not so sure I should trade my car plus another $30k for a different Mustang even if more obnoxious sound. Shelby cars burn much more oil. You need to check the oil each time you fill up I guess. Shelby burn oil because they have high revving flat plane crank engines. The GT is a great looking fast car and sells new with premium and PP1 for about $20 k less new. That’s not chump change.
The Gt is a great car and will definitely put a smile on your face. The gt350 is a unique mustang and the voodoo exhaust note is intoxicating. But with the oil consumption issue, replaced engines, and price tag, I’d stick with a 5.0 and use the thousands of dollars saved for modification. I had a 2020 GT that I totaled and I was contemplating on getting a gt350 but I’d rather get another 5.0 and just modify it.
Great video man tooo quick for me. You look like Peter Parker from the original spiderman
Sounds like shit compared to the great stock note in sport mode. Sounds like you put campbell chunky soup cans, emptied out, as exhaust tips...
Shoulda bought an “R”
loll, he said the car is pushing 600whp. I'm have to call BS on that.
Do they give automatic in gt 350 ?
Great video.. A new GT 350 or the regular GT. Decusion.
I have a 1995 GT. WIth a 5 speed. I have almost 300000 miles. Had it since 2001. Yea stuff around the engine breaks. But the internals rock solid. I can still roll and burn the tires.. Reliability is important. Dont want to spend the dough on the 350 if it is not as reliable as the 5.0
Yeah if your looking for reliability I'd go 5.0 that's crazy though 300k that's a lot of miles. Thanks for sharing👌🏻
If you have the money I’d go for 2019-2020 gt350 which it priced around 65-70k. If not then the 5.0 is far from a bad choice.
😻 350
This car makes nowhere near 610RWHP. MAYBE, MAYBE 510RWHP
That thing drinks oil
Owner is dbag. Check! We are watching a mustang video.
Okay after watching it, the producer does a good job. Thumbs up.
Cool video & perfect Cobra
Thank you!
😂😂😂😂 600wheel HP😂😂😂 newbie. More like 500whp.
bullshit, only header bolt on can reach 600+ hp, almost 100+ than OEM, no no
Great Sound.. but BUILD and overall QUALITY is the WORST you get for 60000 $ 😆
American muscle baby
That’s honestly most cars that’s mass produced and you guys gotta keep in mind a dam fully opt Camry is 40k now pipi
Cool vid. New subscriber. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed thank you👌🏻
