Shelby GT350 After 2 Years Of Ownership 

Well it's been 2 years since I purchased my 2017 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 and I figured an update video was in order. Feel free to check out my created GT350 playlist for everything regarding my 350 and follow one Insta to see all my Shelby posts! @exoticars19 Thanks for watching, here's to the next 2 years!

Who cares that there are other cars a shade faster? Naturally aspirated flat plane crank V-8, 525hp, manual stick, track suspension....I'm in love.

This is probably the best sounding v8 I have ever heard

Best sounding V8 is the GT350 Best sounding V10 is the Lexus LFA

I work at ford and love the Gt350. One day I will be getting one. Nice video btw

I bought my 2016 GT350 about 4 months ago. Had 4,400 miles on it. Mint. I love it.

I feel like that’s a car you just want to keep forever

nailed it brother, nailed it. all your reasons spot on, especially about the uniqueness and visceral driving experience that the gt350/r produces. i drove a hellcat, scat 392, ss, zle, 5.0, and lastly a '17 grabber blue gt350. the decision was made. i got a '18 350r :-> i was hooked. there is nothing like the shelby in this price range.

I have to say my wife said I can go get my self a new car gt500 or a gt350 I chose the 350 do to the stick

“I always look back at it” hell yeah me too

This is one of the best engines I've ever heard

I agree with you that the performance talk is meaningless unless you literally race people every day, everywhere you go. I have a 2020 AMG C43 and it's not a "true" AMG becaue the engine block isn't hand built but there is more to a car than just how fast it can go. I didn't get the C63 even though it's got more power because I care about grip and AWD that the C43 offers. I love the car and its characteristics, exhaust sound, interior quality and design, etc. Drive what makes you happy. I wouldn't trade my C43 for something like an Evo that pumps out 900hp lol. We're not all 17 year old boys who only care about SPEED SPEED SPEED!

A Shelby GT 350 AND a Raptor? You are blessed.

All the reasons you mentioned are why I love my GT350. We aren't too far from each other, I'm in ATX. Keep up the good work!

I'm still praying to Santa that he'll bring me one for Christmas

On September 15 I’ll have three years ownership of my 17 GT 350. Enjoyed every minute driving it. Yes it does use some oil and I’m about to replace the rear tires at 14,000 miles after tracking it and auto crossing it a few times. But as they say have to pay to play! Yes and I enjoyed that after fire from the exhaust by cruising down from third or fourth gear and lightly touching the Excelerator gives off tons of delightful burbles and pops and bangs

While I lost interest in mustangs in the past few years. The GT350 is such a mean car! And in that color scheme, just a good looking and sounding car.

Still love my 16 GT350. No problems and big smiles when driving. Great video!!!

Mine is currently on the ship on the way to Germany. Can’t wait for it any longer. Always have to smile when I watch videos or hear you going through an underpass 🥰

I feel the same way. Time has flown so fast. Love the GT350

Always been a Chevy guy but always loved Shelby 350 and 500's Rode in a 66 350 when I was in automotive school and it has NEVER left my mind.

Best video of this car I’ve seen! Honestly I’m saving my money for this car ! I have dreams of owning this car especially after someone just totaled my mustang convertible. 😭

That 5.2 is exclusive to the Shelby class cars this the first time that Ford has not carried over a motor to other models. That motor will worth a bundle yrs. Down the road.

I just got my 2018 350 a month ago and this video is my feelings to the T. I have never enjoyed a car this much and I've had several supercharged cars and a Shelby GT500 with 850RWHP. You're right. At this point in my life it's all about the experience. And I have as much fun driving this car at 40mph as I do winding it open. Since you're in Texas you should come to the Terlingua event we do every year the second week of October or the OctaneFest event the first week of October. I'm one of the event photographers for both. Would be great to see you there. You would have a blast.

Beautiful car, and I'd always look back everytime I walked away too!!!

I’m a jdm and dodge fan but this car is by far my favorite car. And i never thought I’d like a Ford.

Just watched the Ford vs Ferrari movie last night. It led me to start watching GT350 RU-vid videos again😆. Your video was so cool because your pure love for this automobile shines through. Thanks for sharing!

Great point about visceral emotions vs statistical speed....can’t wait to get into mine! Thank you!

This thing is a good all over all item. For me, as a german, grown up with autobahn BMW, Merc and Porsche, it embodies the american style sports car. Drove the 350 on Nurburgring in 2018, bit heavy, but hell of fun going out of the corners. The 350 is a real sports car comming from the states, its even able to corner😊😊😊😊well done Ford. Regards from germany

One of my four favorite cars: Shelby GT350, Camaro ZL1, Challenger Hellcat, and Corvette Z06. Nice ride you have there. Love the color.

Bought a used 2017 gt convertible worked 40 years time to treat myself zero problems in 1 year 26 mpg cruising no regrets still makes me smile

Love the Shelby man, I got a lightning blue 5.0 2017 and I love it. Wish I can afford a Shelby but is alright

I have a 2019 GT. Level 2. Bought it new. And people are calling it a baby Shelby . 305 cup 2s frt and back like the R version. Fords finally making my kinda car . IM IN.

The GT350 is my favorite mustang I've ever driven! I have a 2015 mustang gt premium convertible 6 speed and certainly enjoy it! It's lowered and has a wicked exhaust system. But hopefully some day I will get a GT350.

Just got done watching your raptor video. Priceless that you want to keep it naturally aspirated. And I hope you own that truck for a long time and have a great time with it👍🏻. The reason why I say that is I just recently purchased a 2017 lightning blue GT-350 with white stripes👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅 and I don't think I will ever do anything to the car besides drive it and enjoy it. The only way I would change things up would be to find a wrecked GT-350and then maybe super charge it... I don't own a raptor but I do own a 2013 F150 super crew four-wheel-drive FX4, and I definitely know why you like the raptor... The Ford trucks are amazing!!! Just wanted to say great videos by the way, and keep enjoying those FORD'S 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅

Good summary of the 350 - you hit in on the head. I recently picked up a 350R and am very impressed. Compliments the 3RS well...two cars I plan to have around a long time (we have similar taste in cars). Cheers and enjoy in good health.

An American presenter who isn't annoying, very nice. Enjoyed the vid, thanks!

16:47 could be a really nice wallpaper. Love the shot.

Everything you mentioned in this video is exactly why I'm picking up a GT350 next April!

Exoticars19, First time visiting. You have good content. Great indepth personal review. You don't sound annoying like a lot of these TV/magazine reporters. Perhaps it is because it came from personal experience and from the heart. Your car sounds so nice. GT350 Naturally Aspirated exhaust note is one of the best on the market. Enjoy the car, look forward to seeing more contents.

Love my 2017 GT350. Only problem is ground clearance. Many speed bumps in my area that it cannot go over with damage.

Great Video, got my 2018 new over a year ago, love it, same thing no issues.

I have an 03 Terminator that sounds good, But this GT350 sounds Amazing! Perfect sounding car no need for a radio! Sounds just like the Shelby off need for speed movie.

I have owned 4 Mustang’s. 70 fastback, 89 5.0 fox, 14 GT and now a 16 ecoboost (great handing daily driver) But you hit the nail on the head. Your car checks all the boxes in my book. There will always be faster, better handling cars. But man that car just has it all. On my bucket list and I would take your GT 350 over the GT500 all day long. Best of luck with it!!

"I don't want to start a war with the comment section" smart man...lol...I love that car

Awesome video. Since last year I’ve been dead set on getting a 2003/2004 Terminator Cobra but the 350GT is growing on me fast plus it is such newer technology

I agree. I always try to get service where I got my car. I believe alot of dealerships will botch your ride if you didn't but it from them specifically.

Beautiful car. Want to get one myself. It's great watching this because you are giving us a regular guys view and opinion. U picked the right car because you still love it and love to drive it. Don't blame you. Thanks for the video.

GREAT VIDEO. BEAUTIFUL MUSTANG. AND THE SOUND IS UNREAL. 😎🙏🇺🇸

Every time you downshift you get a smile haha nice gt350😍

What a car! I'm currently in the market for a new 2019 one with the same color as yours.

I own an LT4 car and ill tell you myself this is the best sounding v8...

Great video, informative 2 year review. I think I will be in the market for a 19 or 20 version soon....

Man, I bought my first mustang. Last year, 2018, 5.0. People give it a lot of compliments. But I am torn between getting a Gt350 at some point. That exhaust, the magneride, the engine, and tremec transmission, checks off critical boxes.

Bought mine brand new end of February, already close to 12k miles and not my daily driver. Yes the car is that good, yes you should buy one!

Stunning car, and an outstanding engine note / exhaust.

Always get a coupon for your oil changes!!! Just went over 2 year on mine also, got some free oil changes with purchase, getting ready to put tires soon. Now I want a GT500 too.

I’m a hellcat dude and dodge fanatic. But I gotta hand it to Ford cause they did this car so right. This thing is amazing! Looks so fun and that’s what it’s all about.

Dude sick vid. How did I not follow you. As of now this is my dream car. Hopefully by the time I get one you'll have your GT3 (which is another absolute dream car)

I see vettes everywhere, but rarely see GT350S. Made the right choice for that price range and having a special car.

Just ordered a ‘20 for my nephew. Thanks for posting this!

I will have one of these cars one day. For now I have to settle for my 20 year old 40k miles Mustang GT (Cobra R clone, Vortech Supercharged, Full Kenny Brown Road Race Suspension $25,000.00 in mods. 20 years old 171 mph at Talladega, lots of track days..Road Courses and Drag strip.....NO Problems what so ever!!

Damn, gt350 and a raptor. You got yourself a new sub

Very good point.. it’s an enthusiast’s car.

I've had my 2017 350 for just over three years and 17k miles. Like it, but it is a bit rough for a daily driver. It gets about 18.4 MPG without throttling it out all the time. A bear in rush hour beltway traffic to be honest. Everybody hot to get the "R" version but don't suggest it for city/urban driving. I'd be scared for the wheels also. It isn't super smooth and the interior sucks to be honest but still fun. When the going gets twisty these really come to life and where the real strength is. Wonderful car for the money. I think I would after some thought also consider the new Supra, don't shoot me. I think I will keep mine for another two or so years.

This is the best car ever , I am saving for it ..... Soon , hopefully soon

Love the color. I got a 2019 GT350 in magnetic grey - same color as my 2017 Raptor.

I like the sound of my 2012 Boss 302 better! That being said, the Gt 350 does sound good also, I just prefer the The soundtrack of the Boss which now have 75500 miles on it . My car is Daily driven, forget low miles , drive your car, and stop looking at it, it’s meant to be driven!! Great review.

There's a yellow one for 43K asking in NY... So hard to resist even if I want the blue with the white stripes

Great review of the GT350. I own an 06 GT, same color as yours but I have 197000 miles on mine and it still runs good. It is only a 300 HP automatic but it's enough since my wife drives it most of the time. I drive a 2010 F-150 4X4 5.4 Flexfuel. I still have a 1990 LX 5.0 5 speed that's covered up in my backyard not driven for 4 years now. My son and I are planning to restore it with a crate Coyote and supercharger. Hoping for 750 to 800 HP. I just subscribed to your channel looking forward to more great videos from you.

My obtainable dream car some day such a well balanced and fun car. This car an mrt h pipe and roush exhaust would be the perfect combo.

Appreciate your realistic reviews and being candid for what the car is. Your video where you talk about the daily driveability of the car is where I pulled the trigger on my 2019 Velocity Blue GT350. It is not my daily driver and I will rarely find a track. But I wanted a Shelby since my 1st car which was a '70 Mach 1 over 40 years ago. I think the current Mustang is very reminiscent of that 69-70 fastback, which I loved. I also wanted a visceral car, with a manual and a burbling V8 for weekend cruises. As much of a beast it is, I am quite surprised how easy it is to drive and do not considering it a punishing drive. Is it perfect? No. But I agree, for the price point there is little else out there to choose from. For my weekend cruiser, it gives me power, style and speed (all I no longer possess myself!) and the key attribute was the Shelby heritage. I am always excited to have a new car, but I have not had this type of excitement since that teenager brought home that '70 Mach 1.

I think you hit the nail on the head with all your feedback. The GT350 wasn't designed to be a straight line king... wasn't designed to be the fastest circuit car... etc. What the GT350 was designed for was to be the King of a pure driving experience. I'm glad the 2019 design included a parts carryover from the GT350R. I will say this tho... Ford Quality Control needs some work. There are some manufacturing defects on my '19 GT350 that make you think "WTF?"...

Lmao. Back seats down for that extra noise compliance ! I do it on mine too and the sound comes from behind you feels right. Also it helps cooling the interior faster because you don’t have a hot air bubble back there.

Also enjoying my second year of owning a 350 also in the Houston area

Gt350s are fast, really fast and aggressive!!

There is nothing wrong with the GT350's performance, it was not made for 1/4 speeds, it is quick and nimble around the track, that's what is was built for. Oh, and it sounds great out the box !

Cool car. Fits to USA. Regards from Germany. ( 2014 BMW M5)

At high RPM's it sounds like a NASCAR or Vaughn Gittin Jr's drift Mustang. Nice car, take care of it. In 20 or 30 years that car will be money in the bank.

I wish I was born 10 years earlier, mechanical engineering student rn and this car is my biggest dream but I know by the time I can afford one they’ll be worth over 150k for sure

recently just bought a 2019 mustang Gt 5.0 V8 460 hp and I instantly loved the car when I tested out I can only imagine the experience of the gt350 and if I had the money no doubt I would of bought one

Need to have a few thousand track day miles on that ride. I've gone thru many sets DOT streetable slicks, a couple pads upgrades, and non-drilled rotors .... about 10K miles on a '17. no trips long trips

I have a 18 and I still wonder if it was the “right car” Every once in a while I think the ZL1 might have been better just for the raw torque But the thing is, I just don’t “like” it The GT350 is very well rounded and that’s probably why it’s still the “right” car. Some important things that aren’t normally compared car to car Great visibility Back seats decent Rear trunk is big Great seats And for the obvious things Relatively light and nimble Handles damn well Relatively fast Sounds amazing Looks very good I agree with most of what you said. This is a high revving flat plane crank with a fantastic manual transmission. It’s unique, even if it’s a mustang.

The GT oil from Motorcraft is over 100 dollars alone. Filter about 10 bucks, don't use the new rec which is way more expensive and unnecessary. 110 is breaking even. Reason to do yours is to do an oil analysis on these Voodoos.

Car still looks awesome man! Nice job keeping it clean! Hoping to pick one up myself soon!

I'm looking for a GT350 from time to time, but we never got them officially in Europe, so the prices are premium. A used one often costs about as much as a new one in the US. A new one (via import with taxes and all legal registrations) is about 80.000€ (GT350R over 100.000). Maybe one day I'll get lucky and find one.

Good choice man. I’m think about to have one gt350 look really nice car, and still can’t take off my eye out of this at whenever I saw this 👌

The cinematic shots in this video are superb. It’s hard to appreciate the work you put into this video if you haven’t made a video yourself. Good work man

Most Badass factory exhaust note....

"Jesus, that's what I'm doing to people" lol yeah I'm getting one

The manual transmission is gonna make this much more fun to drive than the GT500 and c8 corvette

1st time I heard a gt350 in person, I thought a jet fighter was about to land lol. Easily the best sounding V8 ever made

Came over from your plinking page and just subscribed. Cool channel!

I’ve been trying to decide what my next vehicle should be and something you said really hit home. Go for the one that won’t be available in the future. Naturally aspirated V8, manual transmission, and stupid grin....

Thanks for sharing. Glad your enjoying your GT350 👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺 don’t see any in Australia 😱

Loved the Gt500 You yust convinced me The 350 is now my dream car😍

Its still crazy to me that you started with a brz to this kind of power!

I have faith I’ll get mines when the right time comes.

I've been to 6:20, The Oasis in the back. Mountain Trail right on Lake Travis in Austin. My wife and I went swimming at Bob Wentz Park, but before that I was hauling ass around those corners near there in my Raptor :D

These will pick back up eventually. It’s a special car, and will be worth money one day
