In this video I compare my 2017 Shelby GT350 with my buddy's brand new 2019 Shelby GT350 and talk about a couple things that changed for the newer year models. In short, they're still badass. Check me out on Insta: @exoticars19

Great video, love it! You're part of the reason i got my GT350 (exept for wanting/needing it since it debued 😅). I recently swapped exhausts with a buddy of mine, who needed a stock exhaust for TÜV (german mot/registration) and i got the resonator delete with the shiftech X-Pipes and i think it makes a great difference in sound. Also if you decelerate from like 4k upwards and you put your foot on the throttle to press it like half a centimeter (1/5 in i believe), you can get it to bang and fire shots like crazy. If you like the gurney flap, check out the available wicker bills from ZL1 and so on (i got the wickerbill, mud flap and GT500 winglets and i thing it looks absolutely amazing). Keep up the good stuff Greetings from germany ✌️
You forgot to mention 2 other large differences....rotors are not cross- drilled on the 19, and the 19 has a smaller opening in the grill due to too much air flow in older models.
I only wished that Ford missed a chance to install fully digital instrument binnacle. and now except for GT350/R every other Mustang either have stock or optional.
Many Performance mods ~ non drilled brake rotors, more aggressive magnaride ecu tune, more front end down force and air channeling for cooling, Cup 2 tires
having worked at a Ford store for 30 yrs and a previous owner of a 17 GT350, correct me if I am wrong but some of the important changes were the engine. The intenals got beefed up compliments of the 2020 GT500 5.2
@@awolf81 I’m not 100% sure that the internals are the same of a 2020 GT500 BUT they are close. Though lots of people have supercharged 2015- 2017 GT350’S , I don’t think the engines are sturdy enough to handle the abuse . The 19 and 20 model yes. To answer your question , cranks are different and I’m sure you need just more than the blower to make this work
Don Donelson Yea might have to beef up the fuel system a bit and tune obviously. Although, I heard they stopped production of the 350. So as long as Ford wises up and puts a manual in the 500 I’ll buy one of those.
@@dondonelson7908 The 19+ voodoo was beefed up during the development for the GT500. It is said it can safely handle 10-12 lbs. of boost. So a whipple can be added and the engine can handle it.
Both cars look great IMO & yes you can get the C.F. Dash aftermarket , I have seen them ! How many miles on your GT350 now ? I just hit 8K (2016) - Not my daily , I have a Ford truck as my daily driver... Great review of both cars !
Surprised you didn’t mention anything about the seats, since your car has Recaros and the 19 had comfort seats. I’d like to know what someone who had Recaros for a while thinks of the comfort seats.
The 19's no longer have the drilled rotors but the engines received a lot of updates that as of now have appeared to resolve the oil consumption issues of the previous years that some people had issues with. Basically any replacement engines are the 350R engines and as of 2019 all the 350's are getting the R engine. Power and everything is the same of course but there are some internal differences. I'm deff looking to get a 19 MY when I got to purchase one in a little over a year.
Lethal Venom The only difference was the suspension and magnetic ride tuning, extra aerodynamics, no resonator, and carbon parts. Everything else was the exact same
Lethal Venom Dude, the engines are the exact same between models. Tuning, Chassis and Aerodynamics are the only key differences. Edit: Yes, brake rotors too.
ImmaJosh the MY 2019 is the generation 2 of the Voodoo engine it received a lot of updates. The tag number for the engine under the ignition coil for 2019’s and replaced engines is now a KA 555 tag # which is associated with the 350R. The engine tag numbers before this were not the KA 555 engines. Watch this it explains it all I’ve been following his issues he had with his 350 and it was replaced with a 350R engine. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OneTyi5bkoo.html
No. I have a ‘19 and it defaults to normal mode exhaust every time you turn the car off. Kind of a bummer. I wish they’d offer to keep the mode you turned the car off in.
@@potranco999 my 2017 is arriving in about a week. Is there something you can do in ForScan to change that? I made some significant changes to my 2019 Raptor such as auto start/stop disable auto mirror folding etc... wondering if there's a mod to have the sport mode exhaust always on?
EVERY TIME I see this I always laugh at how people don’t use their heads. Start the car in accessories mode>change sound mode to track mode>press clutch/brake>press start button. THINK PEOPLE THINK.
Patrick McCarthy - check out the Carmax website they have a bunch of 350’s. They also sell an excellent warranty which can last up to five years and covers most parts. This warranty is good at ford dealers too! That way you could get a 2016 with low miles with a warranty for less then $50! Piece of mind and the same driving experience. Only issue is the need for Track pack option for cooling if you’re tracking. Back in 2016 track pack was an option which became standard in 2017 after Ford settled a class action lawsuit over engine overheating on the 2016 models without Tack Package option.
nice vid ...i have a 16 gt-350...the best colot..deep impact blue metallic??the prod. # 4 2015 was under 200/under 100 4 the non r-s...aprox..maybe 50 in the u.s.
Good content. IMHO the carbon fiber interior of the 2019 is sexy. But as far as exterior wise. Your blue is far better than the new 2019+ blue. Overall, it’s the identical car, average joes can’t tell the difference. I’d take your 2017 anyway over 2019.
I’m looking at some 2018’s with low mileage, they pretty much like the 19’s? I’ve got a 2019 Gt premium that I have to unload first. Wish I had got a 350 to begin with. Didn’t do all my homework, just wanted a nice Mustang at the time.😩
18s are the same as the 17. 19s have an updated block design, plus everything he pointed out in the video. But if you can get an 18 for much less than a 19 I'd do that.
I traded my 18 GT for a 18 GT350. Is yours a 10 speed performance package? If so the quarter mile time is faster than a 350, just so you know. Also if you are looking to do lots of mods, it would be better to keep your GT and mod it. If you want a great handling, fun, unique car, the GT 350 is a great choice.
Rider14 McD thanks for the input. I’ve found a 17 350 with a little over 9,000 mile. It’s got an exceptional price of $41,975. I live in the mountains of Virginia, always cold and snowy. Probably a bad time to look at bringing a car in. May wait until the spring. Decisions decisions!🎅
All comes down to personal preference and practicality for me. I’m the owner of the 19 in the video. For me, there were two factors. 1) I’m old 😜 I’m past the cool look of the Recaro and all about comfort at this stage. I love the heated and Cooled seats! And 2) My wife likes to take her out from time to time and I’m 6’1’’ and she’s 5 ft tall so the programmable buttons for the seats and mirrors are very practical for me. 😁 Just push the button and I’m ready to roll! Don’t get me wrong, the Recaros are sweet. 👍🏽
@@trip3three That's true, I guess I just need to try them both and see which one I feel more comfortable in. Also, good point about the wife! Forgot she might want to drive it too 😅
I almost figured it out myself. On the way home from picking mine up, the brakes are so freaking huge, I tapped too hard and one of the seats flew forward! HAHA Will have to put it back down now. All is good now, she's such a breeze and joy to drive.
My buddy has an 18 and he’s going through 1 1/2 quarts every thousand miles or so. I’m the owner of the 19 in the video and I’m at 3500 miles and the oil level on the dip stick hasn’t moved. So far, so good👍🏽 So I really feel like they’ve remedied the oil consumption issues with this Gen 2 Voodoo. Time will tell...
@@trip3three I have a ‘19, too. I’ve had it a month now and put 1500 miles on it. Zero consumption. I believe they did remedy that somewhat on the Gen2
Maverick92 Hi Maverick, sorry I just seen your comment. I’ve been busy washing and driving my ecoboost. Here’s my IG vic.1881 so you can see a couple of pictures that I’ve uploaded. Please go visit my page. I would love to hear what you have to say about my car. 😀😀😀
Your Mother should of swallowed I’m loving the car. I drive it all the time, it has 5300 miles on it now. The CF wheels are still on it. I haven’t had any issues with them at all.
the biggest upgrade here is the keys lol i hate my 2016 keys 2018 and up looks alot more like it and i just notice the 350 still has 2015 lights not 2018 ones and up
I have a 2020 on the way, well just ordered, anything that I should get ahead of time to add to her? Thinking of the res delete but not set on it. Would love to hear your advice or other owners advice.
I left mine intact. And also have not tuned or moded the engine. I think Ford engineers squeezed out what hp they could while keeping emissions legal. Can you get more? Yep, but at a cost to reliability.
Get a set of Rock Blockers from JLT Performance. Start saving $ for the Track Attack. If you need a front plate, don't drill, get Craig's Custom Mustang Bracket.
I own the 19 in the video, after hearing Brandon’s 17, I’m definitely getting the Res Delete as soon as I can! The only other thing I would recommend (personal preference) would be to get the car wrapped. I rest easy knowing that all those rocks the Cup 2’s are kicking up are bouncing off the wrap! Enjoy that 2020! 👍🏽👊🏽
@@trip3three Thanks, I want the res delete but $600 is a bit much for a few pops and crackles. I am getting the exact same set up as you have in the vid minus the seats. Ordered the recaro's. Will do a paint protection, can't hide that sexy blue.
The thing they changed that is TERRIBLE is the red start/stop switch. Why put that ugly grey one in is beyond me when the bright red race inspired one was so cool. It’s a 5 dollar piece that can be changed but still
Randy Pobst got one of these to overheat in 1 lap and lose a front splitter in a single lap at NCM in a comparo at Motortrend VS the Supra. It'll win if the race is...1 lap.
Divad Noodeldehm that was a 2016 without the track pack which is notorious for overheating easily because it doesn’t have trans, oil, or diff coolers. 2016 with track pack or 2017+ when they made the track pack standard won’t overheat
Someone released a survey and the amount of cars that are actually having issues is like under 3 percent per year made and then they updated and it was less than 1 percent
@@TheHaammer357 I would be one of them. The ones having problems that I seen on utube, you can watch their videos of them banging off the red line, and extreme downshifting, exceeding the red line. This will grenade any motor.
shelby 350 yes! It’s just the ones that do make all the noise. So it seems like every other car has a bad engine in it. Thanks for this comment. More peeps need to understand
I like the new 2019+ better but I like the darker blue color better. The biggest improvement is the improvements made to the engine which I hope improve reliability. I've seen too many GT350 videos where they have had engine failures to the point it scares me. I do wish they added the digital display and added a heads up display like the Camaro.
@Eduardo Rubio I did imagine it, that’s why I bought the comfort seats 😊 I prefer power seats and an cool butt (a/c seats) in the Texas summers! Plus my wife takes it out every now and then and she’s 5 ft and I’m 6’1”, with the push of a button we each get the seat, mirrors and display settings we chose. I’m not tracking it, so for me , Recaro seats are pointless, they look good, don’t get me wrong, but aren’t conducive to my use of the car. To each his own...
Ford performance blue is so dull and boring. I don’t know how any one can look at that and actually “want” it. The 2019 orange fury though with those exact stripes looks awesome.
I purchased a performance blue and I love it. I get compliments all the time. You are in the minority for sure, if you go by the sales figures by color. Orange was dead last. If you want a rare color, get the fury, then.
