Shelby GT350 vs. SVT Shelby GT500 - Which One Is Right For You?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2021
- Not a lot of people bring the GT350 and SVT GT500 (2013/14) into the same conversation. Mostly because they're two different eras and two different models. However, in this current market both of them sell for just about the same price. So I thought it'd interesting to compare the two since I'm fortunate enough to own em' both. This is SVT vs. Ford Performance, two completely different generations with different driving behaviors. And both are incredible value! Which one would you take?

The 2013-14 GT500 still is my favorite Mustang of all time, I love the Boss 302s(12-13) GT350s(voodoo) GT500(predator) Cobras(terminator) there’s just something about the last S197 GT500 that wins it for me.
@@voodoodiecast Best part is that no one’s upset about having the “older” Shelby’s. There’s something special about each one.
I now is not in this video but I’m going back to 2007 Shelby GT500 is the best line for me. Nice work 👍
Never owned or driven either, but I would go with the GT500. I love the S197 (have a full bolt-on 2014 GT) & I think the true muscle car feel with the solid rear, like you mentioned is thrilling. I like feeling like it's moreso my driving skills & less so the cars tech. I did add some lowering springs, shocks/struts & panhard bar to get more hanging potential though. Thanks for the vid, one day. I'd also go for a Boss 302 instead, my dream car.
I have the 2013 boss 302 and a 2017 gt350.
Comparable cars from different eras.
The boss is raw and makes you earn it but will still carve up a windy road. The gt350 is just so dialed and easier to drive. They both are so fun
I'll take 662 Horsepower and a solid rear axle all day long! I agree with you as far as the last true muscle car. I feel like the 15s are more European style. My wife owns a 2021 GT performance pack car which is nice and comfortable to drive. But I've got a super low mile 2014 Shelby GT500 trakpak. White with dark blue racing stripes. True straight line muscle car!
You and your wife have amazing cars 🤩
That is the end goal for myself and my gf. She is currently looking for a GT PP2 in velocity blue and in currently looking for a 2013 GT500 with the track pack package in either black or white.
@@unknownweeb7360 sounds like a great plan, last year my wife bought a brand new 2021 PP1 mustang GT premium, is the real pretty dark blue with the black racing stripe down the middle, my 14 GT500 is white with dark blue racing stripes.
@@davedave2882 where's the proof?
I traded my 2020 gt 350 for a 14 svt Gt500 night and day difference and if you know how to drive a fast car. The solid axle is not a problem
Gt500 in a heartbeat
I’ve had the opportunity to ride in a 2014 Gt500, mf pulls HARD. I was speechless as i watched the speedometer climb from 55 to 110mph like nothing.
Damn
I own a GT350 and love the sound of the flat plane crank motor. I also enjoy the fact that it is more of a true sports car. You are lucky to own both.
Why is it "more of a true sports car"?
I wouldn't trade my 2014 GT500 for anything. I wanted a hp and tq monster, and that's what I got. Mine has been upgraded and makes 835hp. With the 315 drag radials it accelerates like nothing I've ever driven.
I’m a hardcore Shelby fanatic so I would be happy with either of them just different driving characteristics
I love that you did this video! I have 2014 GT500. Picked it up in 2013. The GT350 made its debut and I remember sitting in it on the showroom floor and thought if this was the “R” I might have to do something about this and trade in my GT500. I couldn’t get my hands on the “R” and kept my GT500. I still have her till this day. But a buddy bought an “R” and put new valves and valve springs and she revs to 12,000 RPM! He shifts it at 11,800! Truly incredible!
Great review of both cars. 2 of my all time favs. While the 662 hp of the 500 is swell. I’d definitely take the 350 any day. The combo of speed, power and drives great in all aspects is king for me. Not to mention, nothing sounds like a GT350, the exhaust note is pure exctasy!!
This is a well crafted video. The 13-14 is still a sick ride, some 10 years after it was developed.
Really nice video. Pretty cool to see these two cars side by side like this. Especially in red and blue!
I just bought a 2018 Shelby GT350, should be delivered in 1-2 weeks. Can't wait man!!
You’ll love it man, congratulations!
Glad you made this video because I was thinking about these two!
Great video, it is extremely informative since you own both and know/love each differently, like kids.
GT500 all day & twice on Sunday. Owned a 2011. Awesome car.
Great video comparing these 2 awesome vehicles. I own a 2016 GT350R and just recently picked up a 2013 GT500 convertible in Red Candy Metallic. There can’t be too many of us that own these 2 vehicles! Keep the great vids coming. Thanks 👍👌👏
Oh awesome! Definitely a great duo!
I own a 17’ R and a 2011 fully built gt500
Give us a drag race of the two. Normally don’t like all the chat but you kept it interesting. 👍
I own a 13 gt500 also. I'm sure the 350 might out handle it(never drove one or even been in one just assuming) but to low end torque off the 500 reminds me of my 03 cobra. Low end torque = smiles per gallon lol. Also minor bolt ons and my car ran 10.7 @ 132
What bolt-ons you got going bro?

@@wick6315 Much appreciated👌
awesome camera cuts in the beginning man!
Great video explaining the difference between those two. For me it had to be the gt500 it just felt like the car more suitable for me. Love both though. Just to mention it I am from Germany, so the gt500 lives on the unrestricted Autobahn, maybe that helped my decision too.
Great video as always 👍❤️
Thanks for the posting the video! I do the occasional track-day or 1/2 mile No-Fly zone and have fun with my 2014 GT500.
Beautiful color GT500, rare to see a ingot silver with blue stripes.
the color of those two are matched amazingly
2 cars i wouldn't mind owning either, gl on the hunt for the DCT Gt500 hopefully you can have all 3 would make for great content.
That’s the dream!
Great video man! I was actually looking at both of these but for the reasons you mentioned, I chose the 350. Also, where did you get the CF Instrument panel for the 350?
Thx for this video. I'm definitely torn between both cars. I guess I won't know until I test drive them both.
Love this video as I’m thinking about upgrading my 14 GT CS to one of these.
Perfect I’m literally trying to decide which one
Old sure
@@MAbdullah-cb7uz ?
(2) Beautiful Cars! Thanks for sharing both! 🐍🐍. I couldn’t give up my GT350R for GT500.
350 stock exhaust is orgasmic. Owned one and loved it. Ride is great, love the trans, However, it was very high maintenance and wish it had more torque. But take that V8 to 8250 rpm’s and there’s nothing like it. Tried for a ‘13 GT500 but got sold before I could make an offer.
how is it high maintenance thinking about getting one
@@eddie1199 GT350’s Need their oil checked consistently as well as the filter if you get a Gen 1. Other than that it isn’t that hard. The oil consumption/filter is really the only issue they have.
I very very love your whistle my future GT500 (2013) just cant help❤️
Good video. I have a 2014 Mustang GT that I made a lot of suspension modifications to. It's fun to drive but I like the V8 sound of the GT350 and would like to get a one eventually.
That flat plane crank and 8250 redline are pretty damn intoxicating. I was saving for one before they went up in price. Ended up in a 2020 10 speed. It’s fun
Edit: it’s fun for a grabber lime 5.0, but not as fun as a grabber lime Shelby would be.
Great video Broski!
Awesome content!
Love the video man and thank you!
I just bought a 2016 gt350 yesterday and loving it so far. The power but also the drivability and normal street friendly. Beautiful machine, still dont think has completely set in my mind i own a shelby gt350. Traded in my 1999 svt cobra for it. Love them both but this car......
I actually am looking into both of these. Idk which one I want more. I love both a lot. So this video will actually help me ( I haven’t watched the full video yet)
We are so spoiled with cars power and handling these days, I have a 2012 GT500 SVTPP car and it handles like its on rails, I have never wanted for more corner carving ability in this car, and everyone is saying how unbalanced it feels compared to a GT350...Seriously? I'm sure the GT350 handles better, but it gets down to splitting hairs at some point. If I can take 60-70km/hr speed limit corners at 120km/hr and feel like the car has more to give, I'm happy!!
Pick One..... A very tough choice, with having a 03 Cobra & 500 I feel you. The 500 is just a easy going daily but with power at the tap of your foot. The Termi is just loud and my foot acts like 20lbs weights every time I drive.
I guess it's the reason for having both, I might never got my foxbody back on the road with having them...lol
Good comparison- thanks
Thanks for this!
1:18 that pose though
Gosh that cherry red color is beautiful!
Hey man- love your videos and collection. Im really struggling to choose btw these two cars and this video helps- but if you had to get rid of one TODAY what would you do? I grew up with fox bodies and am familiar with solid rears and low end torque but the 350 looks a bit better to me. Are you still a tad more fond of the 350? I really want to daily drive it in the summer if that makes a difference
You and me are in the same boat. I was looking into the 13-14 GT500s than randomly seen the GT350s in the same price range. I love both cars for different reasons but is having a hard time choosing one. I currently have a 2015 GT and want one of those as my weekend/grocery getter lol
Great video, I agree with what you said. I prefer the 500, I bought a new 2019 350, sold it and found 2014 500. For me and my taste I like the 500 more. But I want to say
I really liked the 350, and wish I could have both.
Hey I came from your video with the how to make a pov drive with GoPro I was wondering is it a way i can record on my phone for the pov and have the GoPro outside and later on sync the auto up to match?
Excellent review. Where did you get that carbon dash for your GT350?
CJ Pony or something like that
needed this
I’ve wanted a 13-14 GT 500 since they hit the market. Oddly enough, when I was ready to buy another car, I went with a 16 GT (performance pack). The S 550 is just a better platform. I figured I’d just add boost later on.
Love them both - but l think I would pick the GT350
I respect what the newer stangs bring to the table but if i could have 1 more in the stable next to my 03 it would be a 13-14 gt500.
I will keep my GT350R. If you ever drive the 350 you would understand. I love the 500s power but there is something magical about the 350!
I drove a 350, the sound was amazing, but it didn’t feel much different than my 2021 Pp1 magnetic ride GT. I drove a 13’ 500 and it was insane. Whole new experience, I sold the GT and it’s been a month and 1 week with my GT500 and don’t regret it at all.
The combo I want 😭
Nice footage, what camera you were using in this video?
DJI Mavic Pro II and Sony A7Sii
Ive got the 2012 Gt500 Convertible 5.4 , Will keep it till I die. Sure some part of me wishes I had 5.8 but its a beautiful car and Ill never complain about 550 HP. Its plenty for me forever.
The 5.4 is just as violent as a 5.8 bro your good keep your car
Can we lift the air suspensions on the ford mustang like it’s too low on the ground
My 2 dream cars
Great video and which of these cars is more comfortable or less punishing on bad roads?
gt350
2013/14 looks like a true Mustang Shelby.
2015 onwards look like a Nissan GTR.
2005-2014 truly embodied the real Mustang Muscle car look from 1964-73.
I'm currently considering a 2007 GT500 with only 3K miles. Honestly, I prefer the more retro styling over the newer body styles. Although I wont be doing tracks and rarely pushing the car to its limits - am I giving up too much performance or enhancements if I go with the older (2007) Gen GT500? ALSO, after seeing so many clips of owners losing control of their solid rear-end Mustangs - and the fact that my wife might occasionally want to drive it - should I consider the apparently more stable handling of a GT350? All advice welcome!
I know this comment is old but I don’t blame you , coming from an ex owner of both a 2009 and 2013 there are plenty of people that feel the same way PLus you can save money 💴
Either is fantastic but if we're talking about these two my eyes is on the 350.
i love all Shelby and Mustang
Man I thought i recognized you lol its Texas Plinking!
I am now confused between both! I have to choose between 2014 GT500 and 2017 GT350! Both have same mileage, the GT500 has some modifications, but the 350 is stock and still under warranty! Please advise as I am in love with both
Which one u bought?
The GT350 makes the svt look out dated and the 350 sounds amazing!
Why are you guys calling it a SVT GT500? It’s a Shelby GT500. It was never called a SVT GT500.
Looks out dated? Just say you aren’t a car person… S197 is absolutely timeless, hints why the price still hasn’t gone down and is only going up, unlike the s550
@@newfie-dean5803 it was made by svt and developed by them with a little bit of shelbys inputs here and there. It's not really called an svt gt500 it's a Shelby gt500 that was made by svt. The gt350 was also made by Ford performance (which used to be svt and svt and team rs in Europe combined to create Ford performance so it's essentially the newer version of the same thing).
I know this because i have a 2016 fiesta st and in the factory handbook it tells the story about how svt and team rs came together to create Ford performance which is their worldwide performance decision within Ford. My 16 was the first year after they switched in 2015 so it tells about it in the supplemental handbook that comes with the sts not sure if any of the newer ones after 16 have it in there or not.
Very cool video. I have a 13 gt500 with every single option including the pano roof. Bought it in 2019, literally have gotten offers of double what I paid, no one seems to understand "its not for sale"! Lol, I told my wife I'd like to be buried in it.
Straight roads are for fast cars, curved roads are for fast drivers. Ive taken my GT350 to Lagua Seca, Sonoma, Spring Mountain, Big Willow, and countless canyons runs....loved every second of it.
Um NO TX2k and the state of Texas disagree ; thee only people who clown straight line races are broke people ..
My c7z06 is awesome in curves but curves are boring in a car (gsx -r 1000 owner )
With a pathetic 760 rwhp set up it still feels good honestly and I beat plenty of cars so imagine 1,000rwhp plus
My goal is to get a wide body 14’ gt500
so funny thing is...I am cross shopping these two cars. I'm also considering a '11-'12 SVT GT-500 as well.
Oh awesome, well definitely no wrong choice here!
Hey Chris we have the same last name LOL. I've currently got a 14 GT500 Track Pack white with the dark blue racing stripes. Depending on what you're wanting to do with the car in my opinion the value of the 11 and 12 will be worth more than the 15 and up in the future. Not only are you looking at more horsepower you get that awesome supercharger whine. + 15 and up is more of a European body style you're 14 and lower are your last true muscle cars.
Honestly I have no idea if I want a gt500 or gt350. I just paid off my boss and I want to have a Boss , GT350 and GT500 in my garage eventually ,just not sure which to get next.
Am I crazy are you also the one with the shooting channel?
got my 2016 gt350 with 26k miles for 49k. owned a 2014 mustang gt with a whipple and th400 before and loved it but it was old and i really wanted to get a c6 z06 for handling and n/a power. ended up getting a gt350 and being more than happy. think i may boost it though lol not sure great video though
49 out the door ?
Boosted 350 is horrible on engine. Never ends well
The GT350 looks so sexy - especially the front, if I were to get a performance RWD car this would be one of the options I consider. In Forza Motorsport 7 game, I have this car in my collection......all tuned to the max
Great video, thanks! :) That supercharger whine is nice! I'm not far from Austin (New Braunfels), let me know when you want to throw a ZL1 into the mix, haha :D
My friend has a 2019 zl1 track package I drove it a couple of times wow amazing and that’s coming from a gt350 owner but give respect to gm for that zl1 track package
@@ernestogeorge4473 yeah man they really did a great job.. sadly there won't be any more in a few years 😢 the regular zl1 was what I wanted as I didn't want the big wannnggg and wanted to keep the adjustable mag ride, lol... Plus I don't track it and am not good enough of a driver to get that extra 2% track times from the 1le anyways even if I did haha. Sad to see the 350 went away for the mach 1 as well!
@@D3RPZILLA I’m a Shelby guy but man respect to zl1 a great American car don’t get rid of the car.
@@ernestogeorge4473 ooo, no, I'm def not getting rid of the car.. plan to keep mine forever haha. Was saying more like if he wanted to do a vid I could bring mine up since it looks like he's about 30 min or 45 min out only haha.
@@D3RPZILLA I really hope he does to compare both cars. Both great cars but man that power that zl1 makes hands down amazing lol after I drove my friend car my car felt really slow lol 😂
I think the car to have will be the GT350R I feel they will just keep on going up in value
Where did you get carbon fiber ?
I had my 2017 GT350 along with my 2013 GT500 and I felt the GT350, when not on track was pretty much all bark and no bite. I ended up selling the GT350 and the 2013 GT500 remains in the stable to this day.
I could never agree with this haha. No bite? The GT350 is one of the most well rounded sports car ever!
@@TexasRevving I agree with Venemous Garage. I owned a GT350 from new for 3 years and, as great as it is in terms of handling - unless I was revving high, it got a little boring. I then picked up a super low miles showroom new ‘14 GT500. I find it to be way more fun and more exciting than the GT350. I’ve owned a lot of cars - but this one will stay with me for a long time.
@@owenwu6047 I understand. Yes the Voodoo is super unique, and fun when you first get it. But after a while you find that unless you’re mashing the pedal, there’s just not much happening. It’s super easy to drive and almost too well behaved, even at full throttle. On the other hand the GT500 requires more input, and is just more fun around town. For me anyway.
Same thoughts two years later? I've got a 2013 GT500 and considering a 2017 GT350. I love with the GT500 and would never sell it. May just settle for a 2022 Mustang GT as an alternative to the 2017 GT350.
Just got a 14 gt500 with 6400 miles for 64k, it is mint. Coming from corvettes, this is a blast to drive! It is different for sure.
Did you trade your vett for one ??

@@mach183 the corvette definitely is a more drivable car by design, it never breaks loose in a turn and wheel-spin isn’t as bad. That Shelby is insane and a blast but just not like driving a z06.

Would want both but need a bigger garage of course.
The blower whine makes the gt500. That factor alone would sell me on the 500
“That’s what she said” had me 😅
Old is gold
The redone monster killer look
Sweet rides
That's the incorrect weight for your GT500. If you have the SVT Performance Package, Ford rates it at 3,780 lbs. Anyways... It's amazing how well you can see the lineage between the two Shelbys. I have a '17 GT350R and an '11 GT500, and I've never really noticed the continued design language, even though they're parked side by side everyday.
I have been fortunate to own quite a few fun cars. Each one is special to me. My 14 GT500 is probably my favorite and its pretty much stock. The car really is perfect in every way except for the factory tire size. I’m hoping i can get a GT350 in the next 1-2 years though as i just drove one at a track event a few weeks ago. They are a blast.
Glad you hear you’re enjoying yours!
beard looks good bro
I love my 14 GT500. Honestly, she scares me a bit.
No questions I would take the 14 GT 500. Last solid axle muscle car ever.
They both stock?
Never thought I’d get into mustangs, personally hate Ford & I’m more into Japanese, buh here I am now dreaming of getting a Shelby GT500 one day 😮💨
Shelby S197 🤘🏼🔥
These are my two favorite cars of all time. I want to be able to experience the feeling of owning and daily driving each of these so bad. I will forever get a dump of dopamine from the exhaust of the gt350 but I hope that gasoline is still viable by the time I can afford them
You'll get em' man!
I genuinely think I'm going to end up with both.
@@citizenchris099 they are the best of both worlds honestly.
I have a 2011 gt500 built cammed full bolt ons and swapped the blower from a 13/14...and a 2016 gt350....I'd say gt350 is better for comfort and spirited driving but it feels slow compared to the gt500
both
Beauitful
Scalpel vs a Sledgehammer :)
GT350 owns all (or most)
I have chosen...correcty. while i like the GT350, I love my gt500. Completely redid the exhaust, I take, suspension, cooling, rear gears and shifter...I made mine to have best of both worlds in one car... All a matter of what you want...but damn to be able to have both. Now that's awesome.
Boosted GT350 is where it’s at
That sounds like a dream but I don’t have the balls lol
@@TexasRevving man I’m telling you, you won’t regret it. I’m at 918whp with a whipple 2.9. It’s the most insane thing ever

now they are both 80k plus
