    The tremec transmission is flawless and one of the many highlights of this car. Have both a 17 and 19 and no oil consumption on either. Tire consumption? For sure!

    I just purchased a
    2019 Shelby GT350 Cobra 🐍
    I have had about a week now and it’s totally awesome 🤩!
    It was worth the price of admission which wasn’t too expensive but still beats to new 2024’s
    Eco boost GT’s
    Regular GT’s
    Premium GT’s
    In Power and Torque in my opinion.
    The Dark Horse 🐎 Mustang was nice but I think they are overpriced with the extra premium tac on the original manufacture price.
    The sticker price by the dealerships in my neck of the woods has add a premium (extra charge) between $20,000 to $30,000 more to the suggested manufacturer price, which is totally outrageous that’s means your paying around $78,000-$89500 right off the bat !
    I remember all this extra Premium charge started around with COVID-19 and has not gone totally away yet.
    Still, I decided to get my hands on
    Shelby GT350 Cobra 🐍because to me it was a great value and better options for my hard earned money !
    Great Review and Excellent Information that you provided.
    I like to add the 2019-2020 model years would be the best option to buy since most of the issues were updated, solved, upgraded, and fixed by Ford Performance before the GT 350 went out of production.

    Before you do a video about the Ford Mustang GT 350 do some homework. The badge on the rear deck is not stock neither are the floor mats and the seatbelt pads. Those are all aftermarket and not stock. Wherever you got that car from the person did some alterations. I will not call them upgrades because they really aren’t. At the end of the day, the car is absolutely awesome. I’ve owned one for the past six years and absolutely love it the amount of power you get at hi Revs is unbelievable. You also claimed that the GT 350 had problems with the manual five speed transmission which it does not have it has a six speed transmission .other than that you did a great video.

    It is a special car for sure but dealer's want way to much for them.. I looked at a 19 and a 20 the other day and they were both $70K and that is just way to much money.. They were not the GT350R's either.. I get it that tremec and voodoo combo is nasty but it's still a Mustang there's no way they should be trying to get over 70K for used cars.. Especially right now when people can get 24's with Whipple's from Ford for less than that.. We can Buy a base 10 Speed 50K and for just another 10K have them slap the Gen 6 Whipple on top for a rock solid 750 Plus wheel on 93 all in $60/$70K max.. And again I am a Mustang Guy I know the GT350's are special but there not $60 to $70 special not anymore.. Oh and Save the manuals..

      The Voodoo was on the verge of being scrapped, but with enough engineers wanted a toy to play with Ford executives approved it. Even Ford Racing had to swap out the FPC since it was too unreliable and costly to keep fixing on their cars.
