Ferrari ended up recruiting a whole bunch of Ford engineers to improve their company. Also take note that Porsche hired Toyota in the 80’s to improve their engineering.

I just purchased a 2019 Shelby GT350 with 2200 miles on it. I had a 2018 Mustang GT, Premium, Performance Pack 1, magneride, active exhaust, 10 speed automatic. The GT350, is so much more of a race car. My GT was loud and obnoxious, this sounds like a souped up ferrarri! I love how it crackles. I will be replacing the X pipe with a non resonated X pipe. We have a 2017 GT350, and the changes are subtle, but I love the swing and the refreshed wheels. We put the Cup 2 tires on the 2017, and Michelin PS4's on the 2019. This car is refined, yet a bad ass. I cannot wait for better weather to really get her on the road!
I have this car. Cannot tell you how impressive it truly is. I own a new MACH 1 and I have a 2017 Corvette Grand Sport. All, amazing muscle. Music to my ears. Amazing to own and drive. Great review, ty.
I clicked to see a good review and was not disappointed but my takeaway message is that I should trade my car in for that wall of Snap On chests and all enclosed tools.
Or leave it stock so it last while you enjoy it. Sadly these cars are not the best build quality so I left mine stock. Dealership has fixed several issues under warranty
NEPTUNE117 Any high-performance limited production car is going to have some bugs. But to be honest I probably would leave it stock. This very well may be the last naturally aspirated high-performance mustang ever
Yeah, because ~525 hp just isn't enough! What has this world come to? heh Me, I wouldn't touch it. I still don't like it you can't buy one a sunroof. That's my only gripe with the car. Grr
A fantastic Mustang. Love the looks, overall performance and that amazing Flat Crank 5.2. Thanks for the great video. I agree with you. Drive it daily and track it on the weekends. Makes me wonder what the GT500 will have to offer with the handling of the GT350 and an extra 150 + horsepower.
The average driver will never notice the difference in 10% bla bla bla ! I will happily keep my 2017 Gt 350 with only mod being lighter wheels, which makes a noticeable difference in acceleration. 30,800 miles daily driver.
i cant stress enough that if your a car collector and you dont have one of these your gonna be kickin yourselves in the rear in about 30 years, when such a car with such a sound is lost to the anolds of electrified time. No matter how fast ev's will become they will not sound like this. the will not drive like this (manual shifting) and they wont have the presence of this. it is the modern day Eleanor. save the new GT500 itself. This is a keeper. a mustang that truly is everything it was originally intended to be.
well said. completely agree. this has soul not being produced currently. what a dying breed. largest NA v8 ford ever made, with a manual; this package will be revered in the future
wouldnt bet on it. drive one once u wont care about any of that, its a fantastic package. they don’t lose horrible value but wont go up any time soon, made zillions of them
Would the transmission in the GT350 swap into a regular GT? If mine goes and I have to replace it, just wondering if I could put the one for the GT350 in my car (2019 GT base).
Have seen a couple reviews on the gt350, specifically the tyre. The compound and thread is more like a slightly more aggressive Ps4s, while the structure is that of slightly toned down PSC2. Nothing like the ones used on the Corvette and GT2 RS, so it should be ok in the wet, provided you don't want to emulate Ayrton Senna, you shouldn't struggle with grip.
Such a weird crankshaft, making it a zig zag instead of a conventional flat plane (looks like a straight four crankshaft) means it has an extra rocking moment.
I love this car, just not practical in my daily life. Might be a great weekend car in the future. Gotta put some stripes on the car though. Great video.
Of all the upgrades they did. Some things I don’t like as much. Why why why did they get rid of the red race inspired start button. I know it can be changed out. But why?! Makes no sense to put the one in the standard mustangs in when it’s not saving ford money
Is this a better buy than the mustang gt performance pack 2? The gt350 sounds great...just not sure the gt350 would be the better mustang...(480 in the bullit) both great cars for sure. In the segment...ZL1 1LE gets my vote...but all cool choices.
I own a '17 GT350 and can tell you it is more than just GTPP2. The GT350 has oil and rear diff coolers for longer track days. It also has a better transmission and brembos at all four wheels. If you plan on actual track use get a GT350. If you are mainly street and drag get the PP2 and maybe boost it, but watch out with that transmission. The GT350 will also hold value better. Find a used GT350 and you're set.

Unfortunately, Ford has an issue with the oil filter housing, bearing caps breaking, oil pump gears failure, rod bearing failure, blown engines during track days on their GT350's. Which i'm sure Ford has not addressed.
Frank Crooker stop doing ads for Ford, all these issues are existing among tons of gt350 owners, Ford need to recall the production and invest to redesign the voodoo engine. please tell me why only Ford have the engine blown issue but chevrolet, dodge have way less
That Tremec 3160 needs to be in the GT instead of that rubbish Chinese Getrag. Mine lasted 1300 miles. Now my 18 Camaro SS has the Tremec 6060 which is overbuilt for the SS and it's great and has no lift shifting. Even the Camaro V6 has the Tremec 3160 and the 4 banger Camaro has a Tremec as well.....
why involve the most boring car with no sound no manual no v8 and no soul, in the conversation? no one buys a model 3 and cross shops a Shelby. electric cars are quick, we know. who cares. theyre dull as heck.
I was at Road America for a track day recently where a PP2 was setting faster laps times than the GT350. For the money, the PP2 cannot be beat. A Ben Calimer transmission cures all issues and the Full Tilt Boogie diff cooler is cheap insurance out back. Add these in and its still thousands less than the 350.
the engine is covered under a WARRANTY for a half decade. who cares? and many of the issues were related to folks not checking their engine oil level, and this thing can eat oil.

This is the sweet spot for the Mustang. 6 speed and 8200 rpm redline, hell yes. It's like Mustangs take on a GT3 Porsche at a huge discount.

When he said they didn't change anything about the engine, they did. They beefed it up. Great review though 👍🏼
Yea I when he said that I was like... dew what? lol
only thing missing is a big supercharger on that flat crank V8... bump hp up to 575hp or so!!
They need to hit the Nurburgring again.
Best Mustang until GT500 Ford will say but this is the Better Mustang.
Agree with u 100 percent about the shifter looks like it belongs in a honda
Just be careful with those tires on the wet , that car should have pilot sports 4S

I've read about problems with 5.2 FPC motor - oil consumption & blown motors. Is there a design or production flaw with them?
Motorcraft oil sucks. I switched to amsoil and mine don’t burn any
supposedly they changed piston ring tolerances in 2018+ which has helped with oil consumption
there is also the oil pump cannibalizing itself internally...
fabulousprofound that issue I have not seen yet unless the cars are on boost
