Man amazing this is a mustang. Compared to a 2014 GT500 which was like the pinnacle American car to me... Then they came out with the GT350 and then this. The sheer difference in performance to that car from less than 10 years ago - how planted it is, the way it puts power down and rotates, and that tremec dual clutch is amazing. What Ford did with these cars is unreal. I'd argue it is a real super car and for the price the performance is amazing. Not even the CFTP and on street tires! Great vid. I should be able to buy one of these in a couple of years - can't wait.

[@GhostlyGhille]

@@Gkdjsifuofofk 400 lbs with 200 more hp and tq.

[@yusufgta4341]

Sayed, the reason why the Shelby GT500 is over 4,000lbs is because it has 6 intercoolers, 16 inch brakes, a dual clutch transmission which all add weight. The carbon fiber track version is over 100lbs lighter than the base model GT500 which weighs 4,056lbs.

[@yusufgta4341]

The Shelby GT350R doesn't have 6 intercoolers, huge brakes, and a dual clutch transmission which is why it's much lighter. Also, dual clutch transmissions are heavy and add weight to the car. That's why many manufacturers avoid put them in certain cars to save weight with lighter torque converter automatic transmissions or manuals.
