Last year we took the Shelby all the way down to Tennessee for the GT350 Mountain Run! This event featured over 100 various Shelby Mustang models, the majority were GT350 and GT350Rs, but there were also a few newer GT500, previous GT500s and even a Boss 302. Amazing roads included the Cherohala Skyway, the Tail of the Dragon, Foothills Parkway and the Devil's Triangle. The roads were fantastic, the cars and owners were cool, the scenery was beautiful and this trip just made me love my GT350R even more! I definitely need to make another trip down to the mountains with another car, it was such a great experience.

Given that everything is green, obviously this vlog is from last summer 😅 finally got around to editing this video. This was an awesome trips! The roads and scenery are beautiful

[@benbrown5913]

Would you go again? I’m thinking of going from California but it’s a long, long drive.

[@THEDriverMod_]

we all under stand! will you be back this year?

[@EddieX]

@@benbrown5913 for the roads and scenery, yes. Not sure I'd do this specific event again

[@EddieX]

@@THEDriverMod_ not planning on this year's specific Shelby event

[@Eraudog]

Had a blast this year bro, you should make another appearance.

[@noahbenavidez3315]

I honestly think the 350r is the best sounding v8 on the planet

[@EddieX]

Gotta agree

[@EddieX]

Although 458 makes a compelling counter argument

[@XpokivvX]

@@EddieXdef late to this but i just found this vid but i think the best sounding one is out of a e92 m3 (my opinion)

[@THEDriverMod_]

i saw myself walking around and glimpses of the car a few times through out. very cool! glad you could make it

[@THEDriverMod_]

its nice to finally see the video come out, i had the shadow black with the single grabber blue stripe. It was nice to meet up and see the car that my Forgeline wheels USE to be on when it was with its previous owner in Tampa!

[@kyotijhan3456]

This is definitely cool man! I’m glad to see you having fun as usual! 💪🏽

[@EddieX]

Thanks!!

[@MrDaviddannunzio]

Driven those same roads in my 17 350 - great roads and fun. Can’t wait to do it again in my new to me 19R. Enjoyed the video - need spring now!!

[@EddieX]

They are so awesome. I want to make another trip!

[@rembo183]

I’ve been there too and it was fun. I drove a 2012 Porsche Boxster base with a manual. I think the perfect ride there would be a Miata. The light nimble nature of a Miata would be fantastic for those curves! The GT350 sounded great and you had loads of fun so nice to see this video. Great work!

[@EddieX]

A boxster or miata would be great on these roads for sure!!

[@sugerhitman1295]

@@EddieX I plan on taking my lightweight Camaro 2.0 up there soon.

[@wesalexander2693]

Great video, Eddie, thanks for posting this - Shelby Heaven!

[@EddieX]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@twany442]

Now i know why the Mustang sells so well.

[@gsheverything_2716]

Definitely on my bucket list

[@EddieX]

Absolutely

[@joeg9810]

This is a lot of fun! I have done this 4 or 5 times in different vehicles (2011 Mustang GT, 2014 Corvette Z51) Looking forward to taking my GT 350 on this road. Interested to know if you have a GT 350 / Shelby gathering there again. I live in VA so not too far away.

[@EddieX]

Check out the Shelby Mountain Run event. It's sold out for this year but there's always next year!

[@OminousGT350]

Whiskey group at the beginning. Whiskey group FTW!

[@SandwichShoppe]

Hey Eddie I have a set of 2020 R seats if you want to buy a set to not put miles on yours. I had them in my car for 3,000 miles before I sold it

[@EddieX]

Oh man with the red inserts? Hit me up on IG with how much you’re looking to get

[@rarer2605]

I heard your Grabber Blue no stripe R comment....proud to say I have the 1 of 9 in existence. I am here near Ft Wayne, IN and purchased it from Chicago Motor Cars in Chicago in 2020. Keep up the Shelby content, definitely jealous, I hope to hit the tail of the dragon sometime soon in my 17 GT350R also!

[@pawels77]

Only great memories with that place

[@EddieX]

Absolutely

[@sagonzal2000]

Awesome camera work !

[@EddieX]

Thank you!

[@gtrzero2157]

Def don't sell that car. It's going to be a collector car one day. Other than the new Z06 there isn't anything that might be better for the money than that beast of a stang. Cheers

[@EddieX]

Absolutely agree. The Shelby is the last of my cars I would sell. Would love to keep it forever

[@RCXDerp]

@@EddieX I'm going to try and keep my normie 350 for as long as possible. Going to grab some PS4S to replace my second set of super sports this season.

[@EddieX]

@@RCXDerp good call. I have PS4S on mine and they are great!!

Why u so underrated? This pisses me off

[@EddieX]

Better to be underrated than overrated haha! I enjoy and am proud of what I’ve been able to accomplish and will continue to work hard :)

[@Ashen1Always]

@@EddieX no bro I didn’t mean to be disrespectful or anything I’ve been following ur channel since VehicleVirgins and it’s just shitty man I always liked you better and your content much better imo and fun but as long as you satisfied and happy, that’s a blessing and I’m happy for you brother. I’ve tried to be consistent on yt and it’s tough so I know your working hard and it’s just shitty. Love your content and please stay safe

[@EddieX]

@@Ashen1Always no no I didn't take it disrespectfully! No worries. I appreciate the support and kind words. Just make sure you're enjoying the experience!

Nice!!

[@didiermejia780]

I wonder how many engines blew up?

[@THEDriverMod_]

one that i know of but it was boosted

[@mikelegend1495]

How many miles do you have on your car if you don’t mind me asking???

[@EddieX]

It’s at almost 12k now I think. Bought it with 4000

[@williebrown8881]

Good morning. Is this event invite only. I would love to attend this year.

[@EddieX]

It requires registration. It’s called the Shelby Mountain Run

[@coochiemanevevo2411]

is the 2019-2020 gt350r auto rev macthing ?

[@EddieX]

No

[@glenmartino]

Coming from Chicago, what is the best route to take to hit both roads you hit. I really plan on going this year. I’ve always wanted to drive tail of the dragon.

[@EddieX]

I just took whatever Google maps suggested for the quickest route to get there

[@glenmartino]

@@EddieX thanks man. I appreciate the quick response. I’m looking forward to checking out more of your videos

[@EddieX]

@@glenmartino no problem. Thanks for the support!

[@timmietz]

Don’t forget to hit Kentucky 66 on the way down from Chicago. Amazing road too.

[@neilscoins9148]

Nice video #10 in the group I walk by you at 1200

[@EddieX]

Awesome!!

[@neilscoins9148]

Are you coming back this year, I think we are up to 140 Shelby's so far this year.

[@EddieX]

@@neilscoins9148 I heard it will be bigger! I won't be attending this year's event. Hope everyone has a great time tho!

[@scottandrews4822]

This is more about the Shelby cars than it is the actual roads. The title makes it seem otherwise

[@scottandrews4822]

Why all the concern about your wheels??

[@bluemoth1879]

Blazen…:) 🥂🥂🤟🤟

[@billnorblat4047]

Lol Mustang owners are the LAST group of drivers I would want to go on a mountain drive with... As evidenced by the first clip. Bet it was great.

[@THEDriverMod_]

no accidents

[@EddieX]

Very funny

[@poopscooper5038]

So says the guy with the Dodge Neon....
