- Our second drive in the new Ford Shelby Mustang GT350. For 2017 the track pack is standard which adds trans cooler, oil cooler and magnaride dampers which is all equipment likely required to keep this car running and enjoyable to operate when driven hard. This was from our 2016 MAMA Rally at Road America.
With so much competition above and below it's price point from GM, Porsche, BMW, this still remains an obtainable driver's car without having to blow a life savings to have REAL fun.

This is the best UA-cam channel for enthusiasts. Can't get enough.
Hope we wont let you down have some cool stuff coming soon.
I agree. This is not a fluff infomercial channel, just straight up great review after review.
Aaaa++
@@savagegeese 6 years later I can confirm you've produced some phenomenal content
Sound was good! "Fucking amazing!" kinda sums it up.
Great looking and sounding car! :D
Have to agree with what you said here. I was cross shopping the 350 when I wasn't certain I'd be able to find one at MSRP. As far as new vehicles were concerned it really came down to the 350 and the M2. I was able to find a dealer who sold me a 2016 allocation at sticker, so I ordered it with the track package and haven't looked back. The interior of the m2 is certainly nicer and is likely the better daily driver from a comfort standpoint (especially for those my size, 6'1 and 270) with the recaro seats. I can't say that I have any regret's about the purchase and absolutely love driving the car. I can't wait to get on track with it at the track attack before I take my own out.
Like how you tell it how it is! Straight forward, and tell your preference right from the start. Nice
God I feel like this car will be remembered as something special in the mustang lineage. along the lines of the 03-04 Cobras, and 00 Cobra R's, and so on and so forth. I am 23 and i feel that i need one of these in my life right now haha. Man, i need to find a wealthy benefactor to help me achieve this goal. having a car would help change my life at this point and having this car could make every step of the way enjoyable haha.
+Jamalma Zahoe Have to find someone to buy you one!! We will have a big video about this car coming soon.

Need to be a tv show...this channel is flat out incredible..!!!
I really like these reviews. Get right to it. No BS. Good stuff.
I paid more than sticker price for my GT350.......and I’d do it again.
Tasca Ford in Cranston, R.I. has a 2016 for $61200 !!! Prices are keeping steady and rising. Hang on to it. I was fortunate to get a 2020 for under sticker.
Its not common for a car manufacturer to come out with a vehicle that can deliver overall performance. It was a no brainer for my C6Z06 to trade. I will in the future acquire another C6Z06 but doubt if I can buy a shadow black no stripes w tech pkg. new off the showroom floor again. There is no replacement for displacement...until a high revving 1 :) Thank you Savagegeese for your video. You guys are honest drivers/evaluators that share good things to the people who are considering their options.
Nice video/review. Thanks for posting. I got my 2017-GT350 a couple of days ago & all I can say is Holly shit. It is by far the best car I've ever purchased. It is so much fun to drive & I'm loving the interior. It's clean, simple, & a real joy being in. From the second you get in you feel like you are part of the car. It is literally glued to the ground. This car is a 10 & videos/pictures do this car no justice. You've got to see/drive one in person. It's an incredible experience.
+Tony Draper I agree, after being in alll types of cars still one of my favs.
Awsome channel for real gearheads!!
Best helmet video ever! I only got nauseous twice!
Great stuff, I always enjoy your videos.
Good ole Road America! Spent many summers there. God, I miss it
If savage geese says it's a good car I'm down to get it! Now will it last the rest of time reliability
Yes, cant speak to reliability yet. But I tell everyone just drive this thing. (roll down windows)
I like how a solid 75% plus of the video is mostly helmet. Thanks Savagegeese.
Love the LED indicator on the windshield! Nice touch, Ford!
You look absolutely terrified, behind the wheel...
Almost. O hate on this car on the comments. Im a Camaro guy. I wish there was not so much hate on camaro videos. This mustang is awesome and probably the best Ford has ever put on the road.
The camaro drives amazingly well but the mustang is just so much better looking and it also drives like a dream. That is why sales are up so much. Nothing against camaro’s. Cheers!
That's one scootin' stang! Clutch looked heavy too, perfect.
quick question about the color. is that the blue 2017 or 2016?
love the footwork camera. Great video as always
Thanks for the call-like-you-see-it review. Looks like you had a ball; definitely adding your channel.
I imagine its a hoot to drive! High revving naturally aspirated v8 @ an affordable price!
OOhhh nice! I have a same kind of shoes.
Keep up the awesome work savagegeese
foot cam, nice touch
Can't wait to see your 4C video!
Working on trying to do a review on one if that pans out we will wait on the track video.
Also, you've driven the GT with the performance pack so in your opinion, how far removed is the regular GT than the GT350 in terms of handling? I know the engine is just in a whole different level, but in terms of handling and ride?
I am doing a video with a buddy next week who has that black GT. He is young but smart, dumped all his money and time into track days and autox and only tires. But after I drove the GT350 I told him dampers are everything makes a huge difference on the stang. He just did OTS Koni yellows on stock springs and shaves off 2 seconds a lap at MAM. If you are going to do track I'd say spring for the GT350, they have the cooling sorted, chassis re-inforcements and dampers setup. No dicking around and the way it delivers power is so controllable. But if you do more street and some track you can get a GT, tires and dampers done for probably 36k and its going to be likely be very fast. I cant imagine it being more than 3 seconds a lap slower on most tracks. But part of that extra 14k for the 350 is pure driving enjoyment that you get from your senses being filled.
Really looking forward to that comparison video. The GT350 is seriously an attainable dream car and hopefully I'll get my hands on one some day. But in the mean time, I wouldn't mine fixing up a GT because there's just something desirable about these new Mustangs to me. As a Japanese import fan, it's conflicting to see more and more describable options coming out from the good ole US of A. The new Camaro has me eyeing it really hard too
Road America!
keep up the good work man
Thanks for another great video that mustang sound beastly.
Love your channel btw What happen with the NSX review , Acura didn't like it?
That is FUCKING POWER.
Thanks for another great video. Trying to decide between one of these or a 987.2 cayman s as a step up from my s2k for hpde/ future tt. I had pretty much picked the cayman, but now this is making me rethink it all over again.
+Mark Backeris Thats a hard choice, you get a V8 version of the F22 with GT350 and roll down the windows and it makes up for some of the loss of precision you get with Cayman. But drive both for sure.
+savagegeese I'll say. Also trying to factor in running costs. I would guess that the Ford would be cheaper overall, but who knows what types of issues may pop up. Im spoiled by the cheap parts and tires on the s2k. Gotta be ready to pay to move up to the big leagues I guess.
Is that HUD rev-counter/shift-indicator standard equipment, or is it an add-on?
Standard.
+savagegeese Sweet!!
It's worth noting that it's fully adjustable and has several different modes of operation as well.
Great channel and videos. I have a 2018 Ecoboost with 255 40R 19's, I like the wide stance look, but am worried about the adverse effects of spacers if any, i.e., chips and suspension components. Do you think adding 1" spacers is a good idea or not? Hope you see this Savagegeese. Thanks.
I know BMW are known for their 'silky-smooth' straight 6 engines but the sound of the current gen M3 (and M4)'s compared to the previous E9x generation M3s and E46 M3s are underwhelming in my honest opinion. Even if the F8x M3/M4's straight 6 is smaller in displacement compared to the previous 4.0, when you're on the track, the fuel economy isn't much better because you're on full boost. I don't really know if this down-sizing effect is due to the fact that GT350 is only sold in N.America and that BMW has to consider its broader demographic (when some countries like China having displacement tax and countries in Europe that have ridiculously strict emissions regulations). Sorry for the long comment haha
I think its fleet average MPG requirements. BMW sells far fewer high MPG economy cars (in THE USA) to offset its gas-guzzlers. In Europe they sell smaller displacement models and Diesel models. Euro emissions aren't ridiculously strict they are just different. They do have high fuel taxes there and insurance rates partially depend on displacement. (I think)
Didnt know the GT350 had a HUD.
I wish I could have seen your reaction when you uploaded your video and saw that it was all the side of your helmet.
+TheAdventureMiata I was having a hissy fit
I was going to suggest you might want to make one your daily driver* but, @56K to start, ... who knows you might make enough money. It's steep but, it not crazy. NIce car good review.
* and we get a lot of indepth reviews.
I actually thought about it when the 2017s came out with track pack standard. But personally need a few more years and miles to see how trans and motor hold up before I'd do it.
Uh please sell t shirts, i like your shirt
I've been saving up for a new car, and I'm tempted to get a 2016 GT with the Coyote V-8. I am an enthusiast, but not a racer, and I'm not rich, so I don't know if I can justify an extra $25,000+ for a GT350.
+Zachary Zarko GT with performance pack and sticky tires is a beast over 4 seconds a lap faster than my E92 M3. If you do any track or autox just swap tires and switch to 5w50 in hot climates and thats it for massive fun.
Why is there such a high mark up for the gt350? Is it because not enough units are produced each year?
+DreiZ Demand was high first year. I looked up local inventory here and there are 10 of 2016 and 2017 now. But no GT350Rs. Last year zilch.
A real car for real fun? Now that's a change. Yeah, its a little overweight, but I could go on a quick diet and lose 500 lbs, and make up the difference. Or, maybe the car could be a little smaller than the USS Enterprise. But its definitely a step in the right direction... and that engine - WOW.
and excellent non-use of the word 'awesome'
score: 9.7
Nice
As a daily driver, would reliability of this engine keep you away?
First two years until early adopters throw track and tons of miles on it yes. Thats just me.
like your shirt
The only thing I can possibly find to complain about this car is that the engine sounds really coarse and rough near 8000 rpms, but before that, it sounds great
Its strange that harshness comes across on video more than in person. Could be resonance the mic picks up on more.
savagegeese could be, it sounds the same in all the other videos as well but I can't be a 100% sure
Have to over rev it and see if it makes the same sound at 9500RPM.
savagegeese gotta hit that Stang VTEC yo!
My dream car minus the Recaro's homie !!
hey nice viedo,i`d wannt to know when is this car come out?I called my local dealer,they told me not yet.and is there any different between 16 and 17 gt350 except color？thank you.
+H Wang The 2017 GT350s all come with track pack now standard mostly because the coolers are needed.
thank you.
Love those rippling fore arm muscles!
🐼🐼🐼PANDA PANDA PANDA PANDA🐼🐼🐼
I got broads in Atlanta...
So far from all the reviews I've heard, "Mushy" was the worst thing I've heard about the car comparing it to an M2, etc.... I have one an R on order which should deliver about October. Did you drive the R version at all?
+Alex C Drove R on track and big video on it next week. You should enjoy it.
Cool..i just subscribed....Love to see it..
@savagegeese if you could afford either the GT350 or GT350R, which one would you personally buy, and why? TIA
+chase21322 If I were doing hard core tracking or buying as a collectable GT350R. If I was street driving, random track days 2017 GT350 with sticky tires. And save the money. The primary fun factor regardless of minor aero and suspension differences is the motor and trans including sound. All should hold value if miles are low.
Yup. This guy is a steely eyed wheel man.
Bro you DO NOT WANT the gt350 to be more liie an AMG or BMW... you want the AMG to be more like the GT350.
The GT350 is the perfect balance of new technology and great driving dynamics. To make it more like those cars would make it expensive, shitty to maintain and fucking horrible intrms of long term reliabilty like those cars.
The GT350 is so cool because its a monster but its still a Mustang and its still the car any car guy can work on and tinker on on his drive way.
I want it
Except, when the Camaro 1LE and Z28 come out.
no one cares about a 1LE, there is nothing special about them. the gt350 on the other hand is one of a kind vehicle with an engine not available in any other vehicle in the world.
+Mauricio Cuevas
Flat-plane V8s on road cars come from Ferrari (every V8 model they have ever made, from the 1973 308 GT4, to the new 488), Lotus (the Esprit V8), TVR (the Speed Eight),Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren (the MP4-12C).
Bro, you can get a Ferrari or Porsche 918 with a flat plane crank. Seriously, Ford has made a major achievement with an affordable car.
Open your eyes
+Mads Tv Too bright
I really don't get it,.... the standard Mustang GT is 400 foot pounds of torque. You go from 32k to 65k to the Mustang GT350R and now you have 429 foot pounds or torque and a car that is as fast as a 37k Camaro SS why would anyone buy this car??
+Newton Washinton Its not about TQ, its about how usable it is. The GT is much harder to control and is far less predictable. The GT350 because of the way it delivers power makes it much faster as you can go flat without having to chase the tail all the time.
I don't think comparing the m3 to a gt350 is fair. Even though both cars are performance, enthusiast grade cars, the m3 is still a luxury car. There are going to be those people who have boatloads of money and will just get an m3 (probably with the dual clutch, but still) and daily it. Those are the people BMW are trying to make happy with better fuel economy(thus the twin turbo v6), non-manual cars, all the bullshit luxury electronics. No non-enthusiast is going to buy a gt350 to daily, although the fact that there is no other option than the manual probably is a factor here.
No you are right, and the M3 has it's market and it makes sense. Also start one of these up cold with exhaust valves open and it's gonna open some eyes. You have to admire the rawness here, while other are trying to neuter and tame their cars, Ford said screw it, loud fast, manual trans and shitty fuel economy all in the name of fun driving.
Here you see the back of his helmet......now...side of helmet.....to the back of helmet again!
+Todd Corey yeah it was a shity video but I made for it made up for it with a full review
he can't drive to the limit. just cruising
The same car with an automatic will probably get a better lap time.
Except you can't get this car in an auto...
Who cares about lap times
Come drive my ss
Any time!
When will you be able to drive his SS? Look forward to the review!
other european cars are best but way mor expansive ! You get what you paid for.
This american car is not perfect and perfom less at the end but it is really a democratic car that allows anyone to have maximum fun instead of a amg which cost 60 to 100k euros
Huh? Do you have any idea how difficult it is to obtain a Shelby GT350?
Also know the GT350R pulled faster laps than the new Nissan GTR, BMW M4 GTS, Porsche GT4 and AMG GTS....so I wouldn't get caught up in "Europe" cars (unless it's a 911).
I don't like the Quick Drive videos. Too much fluff and not enough information. Please go back to your old format, especially where you put the vehicles on a lift and looked at everything.
Mustang looks ugly as hell
