I remember my first day driving my 350 for real, I came out of a tunnel and there were some guys in a turnout with their 911's and a couple other cars and...I'll tell you what I'm not sure there's another stock car on earth that turns heads like one of these.
Even the almighty baritones from any of those AMG power plants would struggle to create such a sonorous thunder. Clearly, a great day to be an automotive journalist! I’ve never experienced any Mustangs since, what appears now to be... “ancient” Fox body LX/GT’s with the classic 5 Litres (even an SVO!). I have got to get some seat time in one of these newer Mustangs. Thanks for taking us along for the experience.
The GT 350 came out in 2015!!! All Rs came with recaros. There was no leather offered on the GT 350R. I bought a new 2017 GT 350 R just like the one you have on this video!
I love the 2017 -350r and trying to figure out how to purchase a low mileage 350r ..... I had a 2017 5.0 only for five days . only because my ex gave them the wrong information from the beginning . so yes id returned it sad an disappointed... But seeing the 350r it gave me hope or not one day I will have my own 2017- 350r.... P.S. im a ford tuff man for life...
Love that hoodlum look and smile to the camera after the tunnel runs. I do the same in my 2017 GT350 (Lightning blue w/white stripes), though no camera. Any passenger in the car generally tenses first since they don't understand why the windows just opened, then a flash of fear as they are pushed into their seat from the g forces, then that wide a^% grin appears on their face. Non gender specific too! Every tunnel is an opportunity for a screaming engine at 7,000 rpm+. Other drivers get out of your way too! lol Love your channel! Cheers.
isn't next gen mustang around the cornor ? i hope they change plasticy cheap interior and bring it upto the mark , mustang isn't a cheap car atleast ford can make interior a little premium little posh
@@stevensmith8648 carbon fiber and alcantara are just show off materials normal materials like aluminum are just fine anyways , ford should bring a new interior design and a pretty good one eveytime i see mustang interior it looks like a chinese knockoff car with cheap plastic everywhere
@@Lucky8s Agree! Plus it is supposed to look like a Mustang inside. When I hit the loud pedal on my 2017 GT350 I don't see the interior. They even kept the sequential rear turn signals.
@@untilthewheelsfalloff1751 any tips on what to look for? I’m stuck in wanting a Gen 2 motor. I see you have a 16 with Gen 1. Did the 16 come with the oil coolers? Did you get the engine replaced or is it strong? Any oil consumption issues?
@@ManchesterUtdFan ok first there are some with and some without oil consumption. With 16 base 350s, there are two types the track and tech packs. Tech packs have heated and cooled seats with no coolers or magnaride. The track pack had the recaro seats snd no touch screen nav but with coolers and magnaride. Then there are the R models that until the end of 18 had the option to add the nav and shaker sound systems. For my 16 engine we went the build route so the oil pump gears and oil consumption was potentially an issue. Mine was one of them. I replaced the oil pump gear and pump. Then the bearings are next. This is a vortech build on e85. For the 20 I haven’t done anything to it because I enjoy the difference. There are plenty of other differences but these are the main ones in regards to drivetrain. Don’t let the “market” bs you, it’s a bad joke don’t over pay and don’t worry about oil consumption because if you buy a gen1 from a dealer you have 5 years and 60k miles to have the motor swapped. Ford was being sued for this issue so as long as you have the car watch it, have oil consumption logged and USE the car don’t let it sit. “These cars are meant to be driven” all these other people won’t live long enough to see them appreciate the way they want them to.
I get why someone might enjoy the sound of their car…what I don’t get is why the rest of us have to suffer with it? Why not pipe the sound into the cabin so the driver can enjoy it and spare the rest of us?? I’m tired of having my ears blown out by these childish pieces of shit.
That goes for lots of things. People max out their music volume in their cars and house parties. Fireworks on certain days, people obnoxiously speaking, babies crying, people smoking. You just gotta deal with it and keep your window up lol
That exhaust note…simply one of the best sounding cars ever!
Your original video on the GT350, plus a few others are what convinced me to get my '18 GT350. One of the best decisions I've made.
Well done
love it!!!the person in the tunnel driving the other way must of been WTF was that??great car...a real treat..enjoy

Mustang GT is a good place to start!
... I need more exciting friends, I suppose.

Mustang is my favourite muscle car by a mile.
I am so envious of you Zack as I watch this. Wow.
You forgot to mention the Carbon Fiber wheels and Carbon fiber wing which makes it even more special.
What a coincidence! I was just thinking about this particular car and your channel too, after 5 months.
Thanks for a Nice Review! The smile on your face says it all! The Voodoo sound is “Magical”! 👍😎🐍
Sounds so good! I would have loved to see Andrea’s impression on this
Haha those tunnels. I used to slow down on approach with my GT then go WOT once inside, sick sound 🎵
The best of your Friday videos. Awesome car.
Glad you enjoyed it
It’s basically a straight pipe in sport or track settings, totally obnoxious and I kind of love it. 😅
You know you’ve watched too many reviews about a car when you start knowing more about the car then the person reviewing it lol.
It’ll be a sad day when cars like this stop getting made.

Excellent V8 sound…..no electric car can replace that. Hope the V8 stay with us. Great video.
If you have the means to afford this vehicle I highly recommend picking one up. You can’t not smile when you drive this car.
I love mine and its far more pleasurable to drive than my 911 ever was.
Andrea and her sun glasses are what's missing
Yeah, the radio would never get used if I owned it.
Beautiful Shelby 🔥 I find the same one but not R in Sweden 2017 model with only 900 km for 90k like brand new don’t know it worth it
OMG that 5.2l flat plane crank V8
What a beautiful bad-ass vehicle.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Amazing - 🙏
No Tesla sounds that good!!!!
❤️❤️

So much fun!
Can you make a video on the 2022 Volvo XC60 please
Yes, we will see if we can get one to review - Andrea
@@Motormouth... thank you!! 😊😊😊

If you have one of these you dont care about that
@@gopherit4952 i m really waiting to see a mustang with new design features like ford gt
Cmon it's a muscle car! Not a luxury car! If you even get Alcantara or carbon fiber you're lucky.
@@stevensmith8648 carbon fiber and alcantara are just show off materials normal materials like aluminum are just fine anyways , ford should bring a new interior design and a pretty good one eveytime i see mustang interior it looks like a chinese knockoff car with cheap plastic everywhere
@@stevensmith8648 toyata supra comes in the same category and price range but with way more decent interior
Your description of the flat plane crank was a low point in the history of motoring .
Flat-plane crank V-8 is amazing sounding. That interior, however, is laughable for the price.
No it's not. You're paying for the muscle, not the interior. Same goes for all of its competitors.
@@Lucky8s Agree! Plus it is supposed to look like a Mustang inside. When I hit the loud pedal on my 2017 GT350 I don't see the interior. They even kept the sequential rear turn signals.
Market is bs I have 2 of these and they still shouldn’t be so idiotically priced
You have TWO Rs!??!?
Yes a 16 and a 20

@@raceredbetty4514 : I do like cars/sounds. They just don’t have to be blasting 95 dB at me.
