We drove the Shelby GT350R back in 2016 when it was new, and it was game-changing for what the SVT team was able to achieve both with the Voodoo engine, a once-in-a-generation mill, and also the agility, the best ever for a front-engined Ford. Now that Ford has announced the end of this generation of GT350, we took the opportunity to take the last California press car for a proper blast! The 2021 Ford Mustang GT350R follows Porsche's GT3 playbook to a T, and offers not just one of the most rewarding experiences available in an American car, but one of the most rewarding experiences available in all cars.
Ford provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of gas for this review.

I always tell my friends it's like an American S2000. Everything is just....more. More power, more speed, more weight, more room inside, more room outside, more cylinders, more cams, more noise. It even feels like VTEC kicks in at 3500RPM when the Ti-VCT shift profiles.

@JacesOwnWorld 3 года назад

The GT350 is like a Japanese S2000 I agree. In European terms, the GT350 is basically a European M3 (E46 or E90/92 version). All these cars rev high, and handle well. The GT350 is the pinnacle of “track street car” for America, just like the S2000 and E46 M3 was for Japan and Europe.

Like you, I've wanted one since they came out in 2015, but was not willing to pay over MSRP. I had pretty much given up finding a new one at a reasonable price, until I stumbled across a new 2019 GT350R at my local dealer while getting the oil changed in my F150. It had been sitting on the showroom floor for six months and when I inquired about it, they said I could have it for invoice. I couldn't believe it! I picked it up on New Year's Day 2020 and have enjoyed every minute of driving it. I plan to keep it forever.

I recently bought a 2020 GT350R in this exact specification and had the pleasure of getting it out on track last month. What Matt says here about it being a "momentum car" was really brought home to me on the track. It turns in so nicely and with the track camber settings, carries a surprising amount of speed through corners. This thing does 100mph in 3rd, so there were stretches I was able to take flat where most other cars would have to shift. A bystander videoing the event came up to me after and told me the GT350 was the best sounding car there. I'll take that :)

It is a pure pleasure to see these cars build a legacy. The fact that the R is not mass produced makes them desirable and the privelege of driving one is something you cannot replace. Personally one of the beat american cars for the track. Naturally aspirated and that noise is spectacular up here in canada there's only a few and you know it's an R before you even see because of that noise. I would have loved to see them run a single model year of the heritage gt40 with that voodoo motor not a turbid v6

@@ssllhh100 doesn't have to be fast to be fun. I think you should book a gt500 if you want a pure missile. The gt350/r is the "funnier" version.

You're the guy reviewing cars that I've been looking for. I own a 2017 GT350 and I absolutely love it. Its the best mustang I've ever owned. Now that I have it, I am completely spoiled in how I believe mustangs should be. Recently I've been eye balling a Roush Stage 3 to go along with my GT350 but to be more of a daily driver. After seeing your review of this GT350R and seeing your most recent review of the RS3, You've helped me understand why I shouldn't go for an RS3. Now the question is what do I go after instead? Thank you for your honest reviews!

No late model car will ever be a collectable car like the old ones are. They simply don't make em to last forever anymore. too much electronics to fail as the years go by. inb4 Ok boomer.

@RCXDerp 3 года назад

Not in a mustang these are pretty simple. You can even get all the displays and stuff to work with motec.

@Briggsian 3 года назад

Older cars weren't exactly built to last either, barring a few exceptions. I've never been in any classic car and thought to myself, "This is clearly better build quality than anything new". More artistic expression in design, sure, but definitely not better build quality or materials.

I have owned both. No way. The build quality of the Ford is obscene. Just on my car: Plastic dash, all fender and body gaps off, every panel and broken stripes. Yes, the motor and trans are a damn gem. The rest of the car is literally a 30K rental car chassis.

@tayl0rd553 3 года назад

@@emerckx53 You might want to have another look at the E92 M3 interior before slinging those indictments at the GT350R. And other than the rear fascia on pre-'18 cars there's nothing wrong with the body panel fitment. And before you say I'm a BMW hater, you need to know I'm currently on my second BMW. So I'm familiar enough with the brand.

They're discontinuing it because they've made it for 5 model years when they originally planned for 2-3, the GT500 for the S550 is out is out, and the S650 chassis is coming in the next few MY's.
