If you want to buy a high performance Shelby, you have two modern choices, the GT350 or the new GT500. Both of these Ford Performance developed Mustangs are amazing machines, but after spending some with each of them, I have learned how different they are! The GT350R brings a naturally aspirated flat plane crank V8 that revs to 8250rpm making 526 horsepower, while the supercharged cross plane crank GT500 pushes out an immense 760 horsepower. The GT350 is 6 speed manual transmission only, while the GT500 can only be had with a new 7 speed Dual Clutch Transmission. In this video we talk about the similarities and differences between the two Shelby's, exterior and interior, exhaust rev comparison, price comparison and the driving experience. Which one would you want in your garage?

No comparison should be made. One is naturally aspirated and the other is boosted. They are the best in their class, respectively.
One is naturally aspirated V8 and gt500 is supercharged not boosted. 🤷🏾♂️
Supercharged is boosted...
@@EddieX lol

Wtf
They are both amazing, the balance of the 350 really makes it special. And the voodoo sound is absurd.
Gt350R is more collectible for its amazing N/A feel
And the amazing flat plane V8.
Truly a no lose scenario! Love the detailed series you’ve done on the GT500!
Definitely one of the best comparisons on these 2 cars that I’ve seen so far!!
Gt350r ftw. Save the manuals.
Why do people prefer the manual over the 10 speed??
@@rauljrlara9994 generally speaking, enthusiasts of automobiles prefer to be able to shift their own gear in the name of driver involvement even at the expense of speed. The 10 speed will nail shifts every time even under rough driving because that is what it was made to do. It is more rewarding when drivers are able to nail shifts entirely on their own in rough driving because it is something that takes a lot of practice and failures. Also because there aren’t very many cars that offer manual transmissions like before, and even cars that traditionally offer manual transmissions are slowly taking the manuals away in newer releases. I feel like when people are denied something, or told they cannot have some things, it triggers their feeling of wanting to more openly and actively obtain said things.
@@rauljrlara9994 the GT500 doesn't come with a 10 speed. it's a 7 speed dual clutch automatic transmission. but, you need to learn to drive manual and experience it to truly see why it's better.
Quickly becoming one of my favorite reviewers on RUclips. Nice job!
Thank you for the kind words and support!
agreed!! I love his videos. Alot of videos of cars that are somewhat in my price range as opposed to seeing reviews of hypercard/super cars.
Your videos have such a high production value. Thank you for the effort you put into creating them!
H😅hr
I just traded in my 2018 gt350, for a 2021 gt500. I loved the 350, but with current pricing, I got more for trade in than I paid for it. So basically I had the car for about 9 months for free. I really like the dct in the 500.
so you don't miss driving the manual?
Do you regret the trade to the 500 yet....I have the 2018 GT350 and the 2020 GT500.... the 350 is a drivers car and is way better on the track
@@scottsmotorsportsofpalmbeach I really do enjoy the 500. I do miss the 350 for its exhaust note. Otherwise, I'm completely happy with my decision to trade up.
I did the same thing with my Focus RS. I bought it new in 2017 and sold it for more than I paid for it five years and 18K miles later (a few weeks ago.) I’ll be getting a ZL1 1LE to replace it.
@@GrimSRT8 be careful with the Zl1 1LE, mine will be in the shop for the rest of the year due to a blown oil pump. When I get it back I will trade it in for the gt500.
Excellent explanation of the contrast between the two Mustangs. Also thanks for clarifying the GT-500's all out, max effort attitude. I think some folks look at the weight ( an understandable concern), and just write it off as an archetypical "Yank Tank". Thanks for the awesome video Eddie.
Great video man. I’m also partial towards the 350- can’t wait to call one mine
I have a 2019 GT350. Zero boredom. Driver’s car.
your video quality have significantly improved. Great video
Spectacular video quality and editing! 👌
GT350R will be the next car in my garage. Nice review Eddie.
Great content, love the reviews, keep up great work.
Great video!
I have a GT350 I’ll keep forever. Will get a GT500 down the road!
This was so fun to be apart of and help shoot!
You da best ❤️
Love the GT350R, I’ll be in the market for one soon.
Awesome video bro! Great information and amazing video quality!
Thanks! glad you liked it
Your R is just awesome ! The mix between grey and gold wheels is absolutely beautiful
16 ½" rotors! Wow! Love the Twister Orange.
Great review of these two cars. I own a 2019 Bullitt. (I loved the retro styling and overall power and driving feel plus the price was much better for me.). I often think about trading but I’m not a track or drag racing type. For just fun cruising around town and general comfort, I think the GT500 (base version) makes more sense. However, I’ve never driven the GT500 or Gt350R. I have driven the Base GT350. My biggest issue is the money factor. With the current supply issues, pricing has gone through the roof. Who knows what the future holds. Right now I’m thinking about trading to a new M2 especially that new hot hatch model! I’m also looking at the new Nissan Z? If you didn’t own the R now what would you buy? Probably bad time to buy anything; but trading a mint used Bullitt for some thing new might be ok? Porsche Cayman or New M2?
What do you mean by B&O sourced audio? I have B&O in my 2018 GT and I wonder if speakers actually come from B&O, or if they just tune the sound in their own way.
The 500 for me all day long
GT350R with the Predator block is the one to own. Unfortunately I’ll be ending up getting a ZL1 1LE instead since they’re easier and less expensive to find.
hi just brought 2019 350r 1000 miles so happy to find one
Very good video. Thank u. I really love my GT350
Dude that show room is crazyyyyy
I own both a Carbon track pack GT500 as well as 2 GT350R mustangs. The GT500 is definitely faster.. but the GT350 is far more fun to drive not only on the street.. but on the racetrack. One is a numbers car.. the other is a drivers car.. you decide.
Can I borrow one 🤣🤣🤣
No you don't
GT500 is sold and replaced with a 19 GT3RS.. adam_gfi on IG if you're skeptical .. I also have 2 69 fastbacks.. an E39 M5.. a miata.. an SN95 racecar.. an S197 racecar.. a gen 2 Raptor.. etc..
@@GunfightersINC sheesh man that’s goals right there
@@GunfightersINC I'd be interested in the E39 M5
?have u ever driven a redeye challenger ,if so how the gt 500 compare thx.
New sub. Like you’re videos. Good job.
Hey Eddie, i just wanted to let you know that for sum reason youtube was asking me to rate your video on the f80 m3 (out of 5 stars) i just wanted to let you know, because idk if it affects your channel in a way.
Both of them looks great
Would be great to have those 350r vented fenders on the gt500! I wonder if they bolt up?
Are the front fenders wider on the Shelby gt500?
A GT350 with a manual transmission will be my Fountain of Youth once I find one with very low mileage in SoCal. Forget the 1/4 mile. It is all about the canyon carving and getting milk across town in the middle of the night.
I’d be over the moon to own either of these cars
I had my options open. It was either the GT500 or the GT 350 and budget wasn’t really a problem for me and I still chose the 350 because of it being a manual and also it was supercharged and done correctly although I do like how the GT500 is more digital With its gauges
Awesome Video!
Thank you!
I like the looks of the GT350R a bit more with out the blacked out grill.
Wanted a trackable, manual trans mustang. Super hyped for the GT350. However, there are a lot of sad RUclipss about blown engines and warranty problems. Ended up with a Mach 1, which I like a lot. Maybe I’m too risk averse, but the extra fun from the GT350 wasn’t worth the risk of a 25k engine repair.
good thing you left it to the big boys
if you can't afford 25K to replace an engine you shouldn't be buying a 350, stick to a Mustang GT
@@gummybear41283 you shouldn't have to drop $25k on a new engine unless you are really beating on it regardless of being able to afford, I would still avoid it if it's having those issues, even though I can "afford" to lose
What's the up with the red hook on the front right side? I've seen that on the Camaro ZL1. Just wonder what it's for? Seems to be on high performance models.
The hole in the center of the hook creates an air vortex at speed that is forced through the grill for added HP. 😁Some also use it as a tow hook, usually required for track days. 😉
@@Rambler_13 Appreciate the info 🤛
I'm heading over to E Bay to drool over the 'stangs right now !
I really like the color of that GT350R.
I am not a car guy but I am trying to be and I for sure want to buy myself a mustang soon and I have a quick question: 350R or the GT 5.0?
If u have the money get the 350r
The GT350R is a track car you can daily
The GT500 is a daily you can track
Very well said
Great video
2014 gt500 manual convertible true awesomeness
Very well are the best looking modern mustangs made.
What about comparing the GT500 to a GT-R? Can only buy one, Eddie which would you choose and why?
hmmmmm. that's a challenging one. The GTR is an older platform but also iconic, and more "exotic". The GT500 is much newer, better transmission, nicer tech/interior but also RWD only. Personally I think I would end up going for the GT500 if I was keeping it stock, especially as I am a Mustang guy. GTR if I was looking for modifications, bolt on and up. That being said...the GT500 would be a beast with some mods too haha.
Which you will choose gt 350 or gt 500
Supercharged and naturally aspirated. Automatic and manual. They're both badass cars.
Hey guys, does anyone have the aerodynamic number for both of these?
For how much I can get a used but in mint condition in US dollars ?
🐎🏁Eddie, I’ve been enjoying the VS Mustang content lately. The Mach 1 is going to be an interesting equalizer...
im not too fond of the mach 1's styling. Maybe i just need to get used to it
@@masteryoda5237 the Mach 1 will grow on you. I was fortunate to see the Mach 1 in person this fall at a metro Detroit cars & coffee. some of the Ford executives came to join the fun. imo the Mach 1 encompasses the best of the PP2, Bullitt and 350 which are all going on hiatus 2021. the Mach 1 will rejuvenate excitement before the S550 retirement. buyers can obtain this special edition Mustang for less money than the top dog GT500. plus the Tremec 6-speed manual is a serious bonus. for the money the Mach 1 is a better balanced daily/track car.
PS. If it had a shaker hood it’ll probably still sales away from the GT500
@@xrmerkur wow, thanks for the info!
I own a modified terminator cobra, But still haven't got a chance to drive the 350 or 500.
How mach this Shelby gt350 back stripe
GT350 all day. With gas engines going extinct, any car that is RWD, Manual and naturally aspirated will be worth a fortune in 20-30 years. The GT350 has a manual, is lighter, sounds better, has better throttle response, is more reliable and still has more horsepower than any modern tire can handle.
GT500= Old man trying to compensate, waxes his car more than he drives it.
GT350= Driving enthusiast that has taste and enjoys driving especially on track.
Lol says the RUclips commenter who doesn’t own either 😂
@@texasowl5356 Says the RUclips commenter who lacks the brain cells to operate more than two pedals 😉 Don’t worry champ, probably one day we’ll all be driving EV’s. Then you’ll only have to concentrate on one pedal. Heck, it will probably just do it for you. Then you won’t have to strain yourself at all.
@@richardbixler …. You just proved my point exactly. Thanks for that big guy. Have a nice, poor, middle class life lol.
@@texasowl5356 I am middle class and perfectly happy with that. I’ve been poor too, and that wasn’t that bad either. Even if you are as rich as you say you are, your still just an angry little man who can’t take a joke, and cant drive a manual 😂 Have fun with that I guess lol Now go pop some ED pills and wax your GT500!
@@richardbixler where did I say I was rich big guy?
I love both stangs!
As a 350 owner, I'm biased, but instead of the 500, i could buy a GT, slap a supercharger on it, buy the carbon wheels, have a manual option and keep $40k in my pocket
Everyone is saying they’ll take the 350r but what’s wrong with just a 350?
350r all the way.
That 350 looks like a sports car , while the 500 looks like a muscle car.
Both incredible but the 350R is my choice, not a difficult decision…
That snake badge man so fkin cool gt350r < but 500 is crazy too
What brand and specs are those sharp-looking wheels you have on the GT350R?
Signature Forged! Reach out to @signature_mustang on IG for more details. Tell him I sent you
The 500 is so sick! But I wouldn't trade my Voodoo for it
@@oinn8003 I did too!
Do y’all regret the trade
I have an R won’t ever sell ! Sports cars are manual!
Mine... Whippled Gen5 GT350 Lund tuned. I whip on both
GT 500 all day this is not even a question!! Sorry Eddie lol
Gt500 is faster but I can't stand a auto sports car.
Well that's why I have a GT500 and a ZL1 1LE - DONE ...!!!
I got the last of the old school muscle cars for Ford. A 2012 GT 500. No paddle shifters, no automatic, no line lock, just pure driver skill. They way it should be.
gt350 has stick
@@blackr0se Yes it does, but it was not made until 2015.
The GT350R must be really good if it has drastically less power and yet he can't pick one over the other. The GT350R must be fantastic if that's all the horsepower you need.
This is a questions for Matt, since he is a Ford Engineer, Why would Ford design the GT350/350R with the rear Wheels/Tires sticking out of the rear fenders????? I love EVERYTHING about this car except for this issue!!!! I have had Porsches, BMWs and never seen them with rear wheels/tires sticking out!!!!
Is there a way to fix this?, I noticed that the GT500 has a different parking break system hence allowing the rear wheels/tires into the fenders. Can this parking break system be installed in the GT350/350R???
I just wish the rear wheel/tires would not extend out of the rear fenders! It looks horrible!!!!
I don’t quite know the reason behind the wheel sticking out of the fenders of the GT350/R. I do know the “stock” GT350/R wheels do not stick out. When I had Cup 2s on my GT350R, they did not stick out. Putting the Michelin Sport 4S tires changed the sidewall profile so they stick out. I don’t believe the rear brakes played into it, but I’m not 100 percent sure the real reason why.
Had both, the 500 is the bomb. No doubts, it aint even close
why did you sell them?
Time for a trade in
that duel clutch tranny is something else
add a supercharger on the 350 and you will have the best of both worlds. Or add a Cobra Jet intake ... an extra 55 HP
You really can’t go wrong with either.
Just wish the Voodoo was more reliable.
If they made the GT500 stick then give me it all day but that GT350 with the voodoo is something else
So what happened to the carbon fiber wheels pn your gt350R? Those aren't the stock wheels.... why?
They are in storage. I wanted some cool Forged wheels
@@EddieX Fair enough 👍 new to your channel and love the videos. Looking at getting a 350 in the next two years!
The ultimate gt500
Have you driven a boosted GT350R? trust me you would love it more than the gt500.
I have not yet driven a boosted GT350. Have you compared yours with a new GT500?
@@EddieX yes I have,I like the 500 but I love my manual better especially with the extra power I have now. It would be awesome to have both but if I had to choose one personally I choose the more power of the GT350R. If you are ever back in Florida hit me up we have 2 boosted gt350’s on mustang lifestyle RUclips channel. We have 1 whipple gt350R and mine is Procharged. Both cars making 900+whp
@@EddieX I didn't like the body style at first. But it definitely is growing on me.Iam lucky to own 4 shelbys 2 super snake's a gt500 and a Shelby gt.If the new 500 was a stick I would buy one.As for the gt350 I drove both the R and street version and I loved how they handled but I wish it had a little more power.Having a 900hp SS and a 850hp gt500.Going from that too 526hp it's a totally different car.
@Thulsa Doom it maybe a bad idea but it is so much fun!! Mine has been boosted for almost 2 years on E85!and not one issue I guess I’m lucky 😂
@@anthonylaudano9751 526 horse powers is plenty..but lets face it..this car struggeles from a dead stop!!ford shot theirselves in the toe 4 doing this...
GT350R for me.
That 350 looks stunning af 😍😍😍😍
Should rename this channel, Mustangs only
Give me the Gt350r!!!
The 2021 RS5 has stainless steel paddle shifters.
The same complaint that people had with BMWs v10 M5., we see made here about the 350’s engine...you need to stay way up in the revs all the time
Meaning?? Sorry I’m new to cars and don’t fully understand yet
The power peak is way up in the rev range…meaning the engine needs to be above 4000 rpm to get the best from it…much like the BMW v10…and the inline 4 from the Honda S2000….its not a Fault….its just a particular type of vehicle….gt500 has more low end torque probably from below 1500 rpm
@@michaelbonade4667 ohhh gotcha thanks for the explanation.
For me, I'd say, a supercharged or turbo GT350R with a 2018+ Mustang front end.
Yes
Gt350 all day and rowing my own gear and eating a quick twinkie
Bring the GT350R to Fathouse Performance for the 1000R package. You will forget the GT500. Not to mention keep the 6 speed!
Why…
whats fathouse performance
Gt500 Dream Car!!
I love Mustangs and Challengers.
The Shelby GT 500 is an 11. The Shelby GT 350 is an 8. I’ve owned them both. On the track the GT500 will kill the low torque 350. No comparison at all .
I'll take My 17 GT/CS.
Looks like the garage
Where the Ferris bueller Ferrari was
350 please
350 supercharged.perfection.
I'd lose my license 😂 I have a 2015 ford taurus sel and I drive fast in that. Got places to go got no time to putz behind slow pokes.
Easy all about driver involvement in this respect it’s 350 R imo.
