Not in “ford performance” shelbys(as in one built in house by ford), but you can still get a manual in “real” shelbys(as in you send your regular gt to shelby headquarters in vegas for them to work their magic).
although i still may consider the new bronco with a manual, when my mustang is ready to be sold i probably will be switching to another car brand. ill probably be going with an import as they are still going strong with cars and manual transmissions.
They can't anymore not if they don't want to be left behind in performance. Electric vehicles are already proving to be faster, and even in gas engines, the dual clutch automatics are faster. Manual is pretty much dead if you want the fastest. For fun driving and to feel like an actual man from your father/grandfather's era ya get an old manual no doubt. That feeling cannot be surpassed.
My experience owning a loud motorcycle: after a while, it gets tiring to have that much sound following you everywhere, and it immediately draws the attention of cops.
I have cat deletes on mine. Makes it even louder in sport/track. In normal its barely noticeable. I've done conference calls in normal mode several times.
This is my realistic dream car. Everything about this car is incredible. It’s amazing loud exhaust note, the driver focused cock pit, the perfect amount of power for fun without being too dangerous, and it already has a incredible driving experience stock. This is one of the only cars I absolutely love that I would be fine keeping it completely bone stock because it’s such a perfect car from the factory

Ahh, the GT350R. The "Final True Shelby", still with its classic 6 speed manual, high output v8 engine, and a REAL handbrake. People keep asking for true "enthusiast" cars, such as manual only examples, but people just dont put their money where their mouth is, as this car is being killed off this year. Off to supercar heaven with the manual-only Viper. I hope the 400z can stay alive as long as possible.
It does not have the low end toque. I think all the manufacturers are going to that because kids crash them and the manufacturers don’t trust kids. It’s the same with trucks

I could watch this video on loop ALL DAY LONG! So sad they discontinued the 350/350R after 2020. Man that TREMEC is LIGHTNING and TheTopher is the perfect pilot for it! Thank you so much for bringing us this video!
Would you take a GT350 (non R and possibly used) over a Civic Type R - if you are looking for mostly street driving and not so much for track use? Figured I would compare a used GT350 vs a new CTR since that is kinda (kinda) close in price point.
Do you need 4 doors? If not I think there are better options then each. I would be careful non the used 350s without warranty. The early ones had issues with the engine the voodoo is just not as bullet proof as the cyotte or LS
@@JFlogerzi I actually don’t - I currently have a 17’ 370z Nismo which I love but wondering if a CTR or going to a V8 like a GT350 would satisfy the driving excitement. OR....make the 370z faster with FBO is another option (not wanting to get a supercharger or turbo bc the cost associated with it)
@@michaelw4930 I would honestly look at a widebody scat pack Challenger. That would be my pick for a fun daily driver that is still comfortable, will hold its value decently and still be exciting when you want. Also don't forget it comes in a 6sp
Love the sound of that 5.2 voodoo engine, so sad that they are gonna stop maming the gt350 because in 2021 thia is the last manual shelby wich is very sad.
I chose an m2 competition over this car. I'm not feeling the styling with the throwback look or whatever the heck they have going on there, but the motor seems very fun.
i do not own a gt350r but i do own a regular one, bought it in september of last year, it is the last of the three cars i have always wanted that i was deadset on owning before 30, the first was a focus rs and the second was a single cab srt10. I love my gt350 i wasnt really able to drive it very much last year cause i live in southern saskatchewan so winter is crazy, so its been in storage until just last week when it finally decided to be spring/summer and its been awesome. another thing to note about the transmission is that it is AMAZING both with power holding if you want to add forced induction, but also in just raw feel, it is a MASSIVELY better 6 speed manual than the regular gt's manual, it is so tight its awesome
I believe Car and Driver did a long term road test on one of these. It burned around a quart of oil in under 1,000 miles. Kind of alarming. But nobody buys high performance cars for their reliability I guess.
This is one of those videos where you can tell he's smiling for the entire time, thanks again for bringing us along for the ride!

Honestly who cares. If you get this car you know it’s a gas eater but it’s worth feeding it.
The fact that he had to get gas on-camera probably provides a hint to that
@@RayGmk7 haha I was being sarcastic, it's not like he was skipping gears and trying to "hypermile". This thing probably drinks more orphan blood than an A-list hollywood star 😂
mugenman6 you mean Hilary and her satanic friends over at Hollywood? LBS
Would love to see that car in germany...
I’ve driven a gt350 but never the r I envy you
I love your channel bro even if you're driving a boring car anything you upload Is a must watch.. keep It up!
I could watch this video on loop ALL DAY LONG! So sad they discontinued the 350/350R after 2020. Man that TREMEC is LIGHTNING and TheTopher is the perfect pilot for it! Thank you so much for bringing us this video!
Would you take a GT350 (non R and possibly used) over a Civic Type R - if you are looking for mostly street driving and not so much for track use? Figured I would compare a used GT350 vs a new CTR since that is kinda (kinda) close in price point.
I’d lean more to a Challenger Scatpack widebody or a used RC F honestly!
Do you need 4 doors? If not I think there are better options then each. I would be careful non the used 350s without warranty. The early ones had issues with the engine the voodoo is just not as bullet proof as the cyotte or LS
@@JFlogerzi I actually don’t - I currently have a 17’ 370z Nismo which I love but wondering if a CTR or going to a V8 like a GT350 would satisfy the driving excitement. OR....make the 370z faster with FBO is another option (not wanting to get a supercharger or turbo bc the cost associated with it)
@@michaelw4930 I would honestly look at a widebody scat pack Challenger. That would be my pick for a fun daily driver that is still comfortable, will hold its value decently and still be exciting when you want. Also don't forget it comes in a 6sp
Well he indirectly is saying, yes go with the gt350
Love the sound of that 5.2 voodoo engine, so sad that they are gonna stop maming the gt350 because in 2021 thia is the last manual shelby wich is very sad.
you mentioned lack of steering feel. what are your favorite cars as far for steering feel
Little low on gas there, aren’t we?
How and where do you borrow all of these cars from (just wondering)
I chose an m2 competition over this car. I'm not feeling the styling with the throwback look or whatever the heck they have going on there, but the motor seems very fun.
Engine is the main thing with this. NA v8 that revs over 8k. Definitely one of the last great engines (while its working)
i do not own a gt350r but i do own a regular one, bought it in september of last year, it is the last of the three cars i have always wanted that i was deadset on owning before 30, the first was a focus rs and the second was a single cab srt10. I love my gt350 i wasnt really able to drive it very much last year cause i live in southern saskatchewan so winter is crazy, so its been in storage until just last week when it finally decided to be spring/summer and its been awesome. another thing to note about the transmission is that it is AMAZING both with power holding if you want to add forced induction, but also in just raw feel, it is a MASSIVELY better 6 speed manual than the regular gt's manual, it is so tight its awesome
Какой же мустанг а%%енный
The sound is so amazing I could drive this in a school zone and just be completely in Bliss from the sound
I believe Car and Driver did a long term road test on one of these. It burned around a quart of oil in under 1,000 miles. Kind of alarming. But nobody buys high performance cars for their reliability I guess.
Did 100 and still not keeping up with traffic, SMDH.
You must be blind and stupid.
I don't even own a mustang and I'm already smiling ear to ear.
