A Demon may beat it in a drag race, but as soon as there is a turn the 350 wins

[@hmackprotection1]

The 13-14 Trinity 5.8L Shelby Literally changed the Muscle Car Game Forever. And they will still look sexy as hell 100yrs from now. I still want to get one someday.. There’s nothing slow about the 16-20 Shelby GT350

[@kristofertrista3564]

Im an engineer in the industry and a proud gearhead... id like to say you're spot on to emphasize the displacement and naturally aspirated engine giving up 600 cc and a blower to the trinity. What Ford Performance did with that Voodoo will make it legendary for years to come regardless of drag times. The thing that most people dont understand is the fundamental diff between the flat plane crank and a cross plane...the breathing, firing order etc. allows for way more pulling within the range...theres no other way to increase the power. You either have more volume of air (bigger bore and stroke) making for heavy front end ...pack more air into it by forced induction....or move more air in and out quicker...(I.e.more revs)...to the host's point....over a 100 Hp per liter when you get over 300 ci is highly highly impressive!!!

[@ericdawson845]

Funny thing, I came up on an off ramp which led to some "S" turns, and up on the rear of a challenger that had Gurney flaps, dropped suspension and absolutely ate it for breakfast - up in that ass as they say. I have repeated this many times - so even though outpowered in a straightaway, a much better balanced car was the GT350. The car is a joy to drive and is very well composed with the Mag suspension - much better than a Camaro SS for example. I've driven mine 31,000 miles with NO drivetrain issues at all.

[@Kraziken0]

If you look at the GT350R, not only with the lighter weight, but with the Carbon Fiber rims and reduced rotational weight. 0-60 is already 3.9-4.0. So .2 or so possible quicker than the regular GT350. The heavy stock rims is what I'm looking forward to changing as soon as I can.

[@DrivewayDemons]

They are definitely heavy for sure

[@rickeybarnes6471]

Yes I weighed them and tire combo was 60 plus pounds, I put lighter wheels (9 pounds lighter per corner) on and they truly makes a noticeable difference in acceleration .

Thanks for watching bro! Yea GT350 sounds so good! 🤘🏻

[@brianenochs]

To be real here SVT actually did introduce some major changes for the 2011 model year one of them being that the GT500's iron block was upgraded to a new aluminum block which is were the car saved the hundred pounds from and drastically helped handling because majority the weight savings came from over the front wheels. The new aluminum block used a new patented plasma spray bore lining technology which added strength and saved weight because they did not have to use iron sleeves in the new aluminum blocks as a result of this new patented engine block plasma transfer tech! SVT also introduced a track package option for the GT500's in 2011 that included in car electronic adjustable dampers, bigger wider staggered wheel and tires, and some other goodies!

[@pops55650]

The Scat Pack is a great option. When they first hit the market, they were an affordable option with the same power. The suspension was a good balance between the different modes in SRT cars. Mine was a great car, and no SRT 392 ever beat me on any track. Traded in for a Hellcat Redeye and after driving my Redeye for a year, you really have to wonder if the extra money my Redeye was worth it. Well the supercharger whine is nice.

[@Michael_00001]

[@jacksonbarinowski3966]

Considering that its main environment is the road course, yes, it is very fast. I mean, Ford benchmarked it against the 997 GT3 during its development. If you're into drag racing, you're better off boosting it or getting a different car that's more set up for that.

Great review and history of the Shelby mustangs. Love the color of your 350.

Thanks Nick! 🙏

[@Lime_Green_GT350]

The only thing you didn’t talk about was how these cars put the power to the ground. What I mean is a lot of people say the GT350 really lacks in torque and therefor feels a little boring down low. I really want a GT350 but I don’t want to get bored of the way the power is delivered. Been thinking about a Hellcat. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

[@DrivewayDemons]

Hey Justin! Yea I feel that low end torque down low can feel a bit thin. E85 tune takes care of that and makes the car feel so much better.

Just one minor mistake. Those hellcats were not that much faster in the quarter mile than a 13-14 GT500. Dodge just has a way to inflate their quarter mile times. Magazines are rarely able to achieved Dodge claimed quarter mile times. There are plenty of youtube videos racing GT500's neck and neck with Hellcats.

[@nicholaswidlewski8876]

The original Hellcat didn't run 11.1 bone stock in the quarter mile lol. The A8 Challengers were doing 11.7-11.8, and the 6-speeds were running a couple tenths slower. They've run in the mid-10s stock, but that's with other car mods, such as tire swaps. the Trinity gt500 also benefits greatly with the same mods.

3.7 0-60 for the 350 seems impossible. So do such massive gains from only an intake and tune where you might only pickup 40 wheel at most. Would like to see the source for this.

[@rembo183]

This was an excellent review and I liked it! Good job!! I made a tough decision last year and decided to buy the new Bullitt instead of the GT350 because of the overall performance and styling of the Bullitt. Also I was going for a daily driver instead of a more track performance car. Since then I’ve barely driven my Bullitt because I’ve been driving a 2008 Miata I bought afterwards as a weekend car. Funny thing is I still think about the GT 350! Now I’m thinking maybe I should trade my Bullitt for a GT350! Crazy uh?! I still like the Bullitt but I really don’t drive it much at all so maybe I should just get the 350. Ford stopped manufacturing both of these now too. Last year for both 350 and the Bullitt. Buying new seems like a better idea? Carmax always has low mileage 350’s and they’re about $50. I’d lose a lot of money trading too. So I’m doing nothing. Dilemma of car addiction right?

[@DrivewayDemons]

Hey Joel! Great car choice! The gt350 is a great car but I recommend 2019+ it’s a better engine. They are a bit more but worth it.

[@readyon3506]

what's the difference between the GT350 and the GT350R ?

[@DrivewayDemons]

From 2015-2018 there were alot of difference from the timing chains, gears, tensioner, internals, coolers. However, 2019+ the only difference is carbon wheels, spooiler, splitter, seat delete, steering wheel, badging, stiffer suspension springs. Very few now.

[@arnie6988]

BRO that's a good question

[@DrivewayDemons]

Hey Arnie! 🤘🏻

[@voodoodiecast]

I don't see 2015 hellcats running 11.1 stock. Maybe with drag radials? So put drag radials to those older GT500s then it would be quicker too. So I say those hellcats are not doing 11.1 stock. The best are 11.7.

[@rembo183]

Driveway Demons - considering engine issues of previous models maybe excessive hp mods aren’t a good idea just to get another second in 0-60 time. Ford went to cross plane crank in the GT500instead of the Voo Doo flat plane crank due to excessive vibrations and fear of overheating etc engine problems with that GT350 setup with supercharger. I feel that the 350 should remain stock with only a tune no major forced induction or supercharger. It’s perfect out of the box and has a warranty from Ford. Why mess with perfectly!👌🏻

[@keepout7439]

Blame Dodge ??? They didn't have any car in the game for years! Only the Viper that first came out with a simple 200 hp, then maxed out at 550. The other manufactures still had cars in the game, Chevy/Ford. When Dodge gets serious they always go 100 percent in like Nascar, came back won Championships then, too many restrictions and out just like the muscle cars in the early 70's. The Viper stepped up hp to enter the Rolex series racing just to beat the Vette, that's when they went up to 550 hp. Then they won their class against the Vette and other's and left the series to work on what is known today as the Hellcat. The Charger was brought back to satisfy the consumer with different engines just to get to where they could make the game changing Hellcat engine. Then after 4 years here come the Demon🏁, the biggest game changer. Since the technology went to the Red Eye, not to mention the Traçkhawk, and if you remember the Viper pick up truck, which was offered to the former Viper buyer's first then, the crew cab automatic trans for the family to enjoy. There is always been a pattern with Dodge/Mopar for years. Every time the step in the game it is always go big or go home, also making all other car companies to step up the game to where we are today with all people being able to love there brand ,and respect/like others as well. What a great time to drive what you like. FYI, Dodge/Mopar said back in the 80's, they would return to Nascar in the year 2,000 ,to the cup series, win and get out, they also said they would later make 10/11 second vehicles that you could put pump gas in and drive across the country with a warranty. This was 35 years ago, I still have the Magazine's to this day from the 1980's, Peace brother 💪🏻

the main issue with the gt350's is, is the reliability of the engine. these cars break left and right. massive motor issues with less than 10k miles. if the motor was reliable i would say its one of the best cars ever made. but sadly the motors are terrible

[@jerrywhite9225]

A friend had one , it died at a stop sign, the motor was toast , ford replaced it , and he sold it and bought a 911, I thought it was an isolated incident, but go on the internet , they are popping all over the place, like the Focus RS , with the head gaskets, Ford is not putting these things together to well

[@aussiek67]

Rubbish. There are less than 2% of failures of any year gt350 from 2015-2020. They have happened yes in several cases. Well documented cases! 2 people locally here have '17 & '18 gt350s with 17k miles & 15k miles respectively with 0 issues anywhere on their cars!

I was talking about a 2020 and I said the power makes it faster than a GT350. If I put twin turbos on my GT350 and made exactly 760hp the exact same as the GT500, the GT350 would win on a road course. Its a better-balanced chassis and setup. The 2014 GT500 is a dog on a road course. Its literally not even in the same class as the S550. Its an outdated live rear axle. lol

Driveway Demons I agree. The GT500 in my opinion is the quarter mile car. Not really intended for a road course. You can bring it to one but that isn’t truly the intent. The gt350 is a great car specifically deserved for a road course but let’s be honest there’s nothing truly special about it. The best car in the mustang line up honestly when it comes to modification since you brought up a turbo install is essentially the regular PP1. or PP2. I mean if that’s what you’re going to use as example of the The gt350’s superiority over the gt500. It’s essentially outclassed by the PP2 after a simple tune when the gt350 is left stock. So really what is a gt350? Really when. It comes to valu? The answer is...not much more than being able to say I own a mass produced Shelby badged mustang. And this by no means is to offend. I love the car but I’m realistic with what it is too. There’s nothing truly special that can be done for less than the cobra badge and the stock striped.

Not that fast compared to a n/a stock c8

[@andyhernandez2360]

stocksrt I mean let’s take the c7 grand sport manual or even auto and it will get walked by the 350 with the NEW c8 a FBO 10 speed 5.0 well eat it compare a car that’s made in the same year span not a new car compared to a old one haha

A fuc.... Video without sound only bla bla what s it for?

[@david3077]

They aren’t very fast.. crank hp you would think they’re fast but they just aren’t that fast. Complete waste of money.

[@jrvbamafan1]

Yeah runs low 12 in the 1/4 at 117mph, 0 to 60 in 4.1, and has embarrassed several far more expensive cars on the Nurburgring, and with a simple intake and tune turns into an 11 sec car....and that's ignoring the fact it's not even built to be a drag car to begin with, but youre right it's not that fast....smh. what are you driving speedy that's such a rocket and so much faster than a gt350, because 90% of people that get on here and talk smack about cars haven't even ridden in an 11 sec or faster car, let alone actually driven or owned one

[@jerrywhite9225]

They seemed cool when they first came out, but I hate to say it , the motor is kind of junk

[@aussiek67]

Sure because 4 sec 0-60 is sooooo slow! What your cars do it in 1.9 secs i suppose!! Always these wanna be's that drive 10 sec 0-60 cars but comment about great cars because they cant buy one!
