And apparently he's not afraid to admit he ripped off Ferraris F136 engine. And despite that, this still has a pretty generic growling muscle car sound.
Nunya Business Did you miss the part where he said they bought a 458 to "benchmark" from? You don't think they ripped that engine apart and took every idea they could? That's pretty naive.
You know I rather buy a solid budget Ferrari that I could afford than a Ferrari that would take me a couple years of my annual salary to pay off. So Ford keep ripping off high performance cars, people will buy them.
From one broke car lover to someone who can afford the cars I love. I give Jay Leno a lot of respect. Every car he builds or owns, he drives (as long as the car is able to be rebuilt to drive) and enjoys them. He also knows or learns as much as he can of each car. He doesn't just hide them in his garage and keep them to himself. He let's everyone enjoy his passion with him.
I like a cross plane burble so much more. This just sounds like an angry Honda to me. (Also Ferrari V8's have been sounding like this for years, albeit higher pitched for their smaller displacements and higher rev limits)
+Diner50 First of all, I'm not american nor do I live in the continent of america. Point number 2, the sound is the effect of converting to a flatplane from a crossplane v8 to make it lighter and more powerful. So the sound is not created to mimic the sound of anyone's engine, but it is the effect of the firing order of the engine. If there is a better way to make better performance, why not?
yes it will, and ive been saying forever Dodge missed an opportunity to do what ford did, make the hellcat exclusive you create a high demand collectors car, instead they whored the engine out, still nothing wrong with it, but in 20 years hellcats will be a dime a dozen worthless, whereas the 5.2 will be extremely expensive to get
That’s not what Shelby would have wanted, it should be on the track. Not the collector show room. But unfortunately your right these first year 350r’s are very rare and will be in collector rooms.
yoruel sanguillen should be pretty reliable. Just make sure you have the oil filter issue addressed if it’s a 2016 or 2017. 2018+ I think you won’t have to worry about that.
When Jay first said this had carbon wheels I thought he goofed and meant to say carbon brake rotors. I can not believe they were able to put carbon carbon rims on this car. Only koenigsegg came with carbon wheels from factory on a million dollar car....holy crap ford
Ford is actually the first manufacturer to put carbon fiber wheels on a mass production vehicle! Yes, Koenigsegg beat them to it, but the Regera isn't actually a "Production" car that's massed produced... Still unbelievable, the more of something you make, the less you can charge!
+Spencer Stagg I was actually under the impression that Koenigsegg owns the patent on carbon fiber wheels. Maybe they just licensed the Australian company to use their technology.

Americans should take pride in their auto industry, specially Ford. If you think about it, the only company with as much history as Ford is Mercedes Benz, and Ford has built a gorgeous car with every ounce of supercar virtue in it at a price which brings this performance within reach of everyday people like us.
I have always been a Chevy guy but bought a 2015 Mustang a couple of years ago and I love it. Ford has brought up their game and their new vehicles are very impressive. The new Mustangs are extremely nice. Everything from the Ecoboost to the GT350R. Lot's of people like to down Mustangs but if they were honest about it it's only because they are brand loyal to another manufacturer. I know this because I was one of these people being a Chevy fan. But give different cars a try and you might be surprised at what you find. I know I was.
Old comment but i feel as though people still down mustangs, because theyre scared of the fact that the current mustangs are as fast, good handling, and luxurious as any other car out there, so they keep with the "hurr crowd killer" narrative to keep it in a little box to make the cars they like seem more impressive, when their usually not.
If it wasn't for Chevrolet's I would have never learned to work on cars. I have chevys and foxbody mustangs. My fords have always been the most reliable but they're the old push rod V8s.

The new zl1 1le Camaro is technically faster then this Mustang in every way I'm pretty sure (don't quote me), and then there's the Chevy ss.. They got Ford beat they're just missing a hot hatch..

Again, gorgeous car and I respect everything Ford has accomplished with it... you just don't realize how loud it is until you hear it in everyday situations.
Mickey Hartsell Hell no I'm a big Mustang fan and the 350 R is my dream car but hands-down the 2013 Shelby GT500 is the best car it's faster and was carrol Shelbys last car he made before he passed
Ruben Perez the gt 350r was a tribute to Shelby. I agree this car is the best sports car mustang has ever done. Gt500 being the best classic muscle car.
Abbuud Jb Well, the term Pony Car was coined by the Mustang. You know why? Because it was originally not considered a muscle car as they were too slow and anemic. It is and always will be a pony car. Want a real muscle car? Go Mopar or Pontiac.
frenchie5k As a '73 Trans Am owner, I can tell you it's NOT a pony car. The only pony car is the Rustang. The early gen2 screaming chickens are true muscle cars. The term pony car was never meant as a positive thing. It was a put-down because the classic Mustangs were all show and no go. Part from the 390 and Shelbys, they were pretty awful and slow. Even the 4 barrel Boss 351 struggled to deliver its claimed 285 hp. All the other brands seriously underrated their cars and still made more power in their official claims.
ABOlsen69X Muscle Cars are for people who are not as concerned about the overall performance of the car- they live in the flyover states with few twisty roads and so it's all about top speed and quarter mile times. They are just fine with cheap, clumsy, light weight boxes as long as they get a massive V8
I hear so many people I talk to say they don't like the new looks of this generation Mustang, but I think this just looks a lot tougher and sleek than the previous years. I still like those as well, more so starting with the 2010 change. I'm the same way with the Camaro new revised look as well. I not biased towards Ford, Chevrolet, or Dodge, they are all #AmericanMade
I couldn't be happier that the pony car wars are back. You youngsters weren't around back in 1970. But 2017 might just be better regarding the pony car competition. It's really a win/win/win . . . Mustang/Challenger/Camaro enjoyapalooza!!!
It looks European for once. It’s a sexy look. I for one am glad that it doesn’t have that bulky constipated NFL lineman look to it. To put it into terms of fighting, the old Mustangs were boxers, the new Mustangs are martial artists.
Who cares if they are "American made"?... What does that mean anymore? Someone's Honda can be more manufactured in America than a Ford or Chevrolet these days.
Really? Does it get more old school than Chevy vs Ford? Dislikes are fringe, that believe that its Fix Or Repair Daily for life. Regardless of how good this car is! BTW I'm Chevy fan. Didn't click dislikes. : )
Jay thank you for talking about the front splitter. I bought a Shelby gt350R from Virginia and didn’t realize mines was missing. The dealer bought it for me. You saved me $1500
I absolutely love driving my GT350. I have it tuned on E85 and deleted cats and resonator, corsa long tube headers. That exhaust sounds amazing! It's hard to keep your foot off the gas. It's in the shop now getting cams installed and head ported and polished.
I could watch his video 1000 times and still never tire of it! It’s such a fantastic car. Mr. Leno does such a great job of describing how it feels to drive a very special car. I believe these cars are going to be very valuable someday since they are the last manual transmission road course Shelby! This is a very faithful build of what Carol Shelby had in mind! Here I am over four years into the ownership of my GT 350. Every time I get in it it’s like the first time! It’s that good!
I’ve never seen so many good reviews about a performance vehicle like the Mustang GT350R. Everyone that drives one in a review all say I want one and gotta have it
I gotta say I love seeing this side of Jay. Even if you hadn't seen his massive car collection, you could tell he's a car man to his core. Great channel. And this car is a monster. I just bought my first new car and it is a little 2016 V6 Mustang. I'd love to own something like this one day.
+kirbyswarp As much as I hate to agree, you're right. I'm 1,000%, all the way a Mercedes fanboy, but the S class shouldn't EVER come in a 2 door, let alone a convertible. BMW as well, they've gone "Hollywood". Porsche and Audi are climbing to the top fast, especially with still having a manual option for a majority of their vehicles, but still losing their touch.
+kirbyswarp I choose Mercedes over everything, second runner up is the Lincoln Town Car, but that may be just because I've had one for a while now. 2008, and everything works, no problems, smooth ride, and I get the same respect as the BMW, Audi and Mercedes that pull up next to me. Have a lot of plans for her this year and plan on making a few videos soon . And Volvo is a great car, no arguments there.
Really a great video. Ford has built something special that should make all of us Americans very proud. Many thanks to Ford and in particular Jamal for a job well done. It is also very refreshing to see young American Arab professionals such as Jamal Hameedi lead our country into greatness and make us proud.
Jay, either you are like me or I am like you bro... I'm a manual shift man, I love gauges I like seeing what's going on, I love Brembo brakes and I'm a sho nuff car enthusiast. I told you earlier I have a 1998 Ford GT 4.6L 281/225-hp, slight modifications with 128,875 mi and no worries. Love your show brother and love your guests! Us old guys gotta' stay in the game. Me, 1952! Peace!
+thisguywhocamps1 dude I just laughed so hard. That was a good one! Never heard that before! About time someone says something new about ford. found on road dead hahahaha I'm going to start using that one.
This video and the behind the scenes piece on the 2005 Ford GT are two of the best productions from this channel. Two designers walking viewers and Jay through the behind the scenes of incredible product development. Ford is winning and so are viewers.
Back in the '50s and early '60s my father built and used the old flathead Ford V8 in cars,pickups and boats as well.They were cheap and speed parts quite available.Long story short he built a couple with flat plane crankshafts.The biggest thing I remember is how those engines sounded nothing like the normal V8,almost like a giant four cylinder with a strange cadence...it's hard to describe.The point I wanted to make is flat plane crankshafts are in no way a new or modern idea but seeing one in use,especially from a factory machine,is uncommon indeed!
"This engine will not be shared with any other Ford platform" is the biggest crime in history. This engine would have been PERFECT for a new more muscular Taurus, (Charger rival). And a LIGHTNING F150
Jay, you review cars like no one does - what a public service! Serious - THANK YOU for sharing your cars (garage, knowledge and pull with manufactures) with us "normal folk!" You're a blessing to car freaks everywhere!!!
+Herickson SS You are wrong dude. Amanoncrack is right. They did it for a reason and they talk all about it in dozens of videos. It's a 650 HP+ high revving V6 with almost no lag and instant response. It cuts weight but more importantly it allowed Ford to shape the body the way they did because it's a smaller engine profile. Read about it. The car weighs nothing. It's going to be awesome. When the supercharger was put on the second gen GT everyone lost their minds saying it should be naturally aspirated, but the car was great and has grown on everyone. Now the same people are whining about it being a V6 but they will eventually see the light as well.
+Adam Reichl I respect their decision to race it with the ecoboost, but for the customer I think it should be an option. Its not like a regular customer is going to take it to the limit like a professional driver anyway.
I realize its common now but the idea of a coil per plug to give it time for a bigger spark is awesome compared to my old dual point mallory on the 302,
And no, Ecoboost V6 is not better than this engine would've been with a couple turbos... Look at the pitiful Ford GT performance at Daytona. Look at the LS/LT engines - massive displacement, torque that matches or exceeds the power, and they're getting 30+ mpg cruising.. Ford needs to stop trying to be European and respect some American ingenuity.
+Adeum Deus Their performance issues were due to teething problems with the electrics, not the pace. Problems like thes are not uncommon for new cars. I believe the GT had the fastest lap of the race as well if I remember correctly. In its first race. The Ecoboost V6 is an excellent engine. The corvettes have had years of development whereas this GT is a totally new car from the ground up. Oh and by the way, Ford has achieved Ferrari-approaching engine stats by "being European."
so you dont care about the output, reliability, balance, sound, efficiency of the engine but the weight? and also its 2009 model engine that you are comparing to 2015 model, which is still miles better. just check ferrari's latest engines and tecs and you can see the difference between 2 brands. ford is definetely closing in but ferrari is probably 6-7 years ahead of them
For all those people wondering why this didn't go into the new GT, well they plan to race the car at Le Mans. For those who don't know, its 24 hour continuous race. Every drop of fuel is monitored. Every single lap, every single second counts. You can watch Truth in 24 II and get a idea of the immense engineering involved. Everything that happens there, often filters down into consumer technology. As much as I love a good ole' v12, everybody is downsizing and using hybrid power trains because efficiency is the battle. So the v6 is a good choice for the new GT.
All true, but, those purists addicted to hearin' a V-8 thunder to life in the morning were given reason to be thankful they couldn't afford the GT... Ah yes, Shelby Mustang GT350, the poor man's GT... Le Mans can have the GT!
Hold on I am watching this video and Jamal said that they went with the 3.5L eco boost V6 in the GT because if fuel economy and efficiency. The EPA rates the Ford GT at 19 mpg highway that's pretty piss poor considering the Viper with it's 8.4L V10 is rated at 21 by the EPA.
as a mopar fanatic i am beyond jealous of the ford followers. the engineering behind most of fords engine line up are so impressive, from an engineering stand point. we picked up a 2012 focus, and the 2.0 dohc vvt gdi engine is so impressive! 40mpg with 180hp.... with a simple suspension kit, stiffer chassis, the focus feels like a little lotus! AMERICA has potential, we just need our freedom back.
I mean, yes it sounds terrific, but an old school V12 Ferrari is like heaven. Personally I am a 250 GTO guy all day. Corvettes sound like every other Chevy though. Sorry. Mustangs have a unique sound and this Mustang is the best sounding of all time.
Adam Reichl Different strokes for different folks. I was watching 24 hours of daytona the other day and the C7Rs sound completely stole the show from the Ferrari 488.
Great video. I had a '66 Mustang with a 289 when I was 18. It was a great car and I had a lot of fun with it, but the car in this video is light years ahead of it. Jay, your knowledge of a wide range of cars and motorcycles is amazing. Thank you for sharing that knowledge an entusiasm with us on your website. Keep on driving an d riding these classics. I love the fact that you keep them running and share the history of all these classics with us. They don't just sit in a museum. Thanks again, Jay
People complaining about there being no burnout , you're not supposed to do something like that until the engine is fully bedded in unless you want to ruin your engine
+MeatyPotato Cactus I wonder why they're not just run them in at the factory. If I got that Mustang my mind would instantly turn into a kid and do burnouts!
+Rottensteam they run the engines but it takes around 1000 miles to fully break in. thats why when i got my c63amg 507 it couldnt rev over 4500 for the first 1000 miles
+FordCapri Driver you dont have to do that anymore. thats old school thinking. now the engines making the most power are the ones that have been driven hard since the beginning.
I'm with Jay, I love gauges. I love seeing what is going on. I added a boost, oil temp, and oil pressure gauge to my car. It's just sooooo much easier to glance at a needle than watch a screen.
The Mustang Chief Engineer certainly knows a thing or two about making performance cars. He did an awesome job on the GT350.
And apparently he's not afraid to admit he ripped off Ferraris F136 engine. And despite that, this still has a pretty generic growling muscle car sound.

I couldn't be happier that the pony car wars are back. You youngsters weren't around back in 1970. But 2017 might just be better regarding the pony car competition. It's really a win/win/win . . . Mustang/Challenger/Camaro enjoyapalooza!!!
It looks European for once. It’s a sexy look. I for one am glad that it doesn’t have that bulky constipated NFL lineman look to it. To put it into terms of fighting, the old Mustangs were boxers, the new Mustangs are martial artists.
Who cares if they are "American made"?... What does that mean anymore? Someone's Honda can be more manufactured in America than a Ford or Chevrolet these days.

WOLFMAN I just wanted to say that I am with you all the way. 😀😎
We need Saabkyle04 to spend a couple weeks at Jay's garage to review some cars!
+anewacc well his performance cars at least, cause not all his cars are meant to be driven hard
+Kenny Lopez just discovered that kid, love his videos!
We need Saabkyle to do a review of it, Chris Harris to thrash it around sideways on a track and lastly we need Shmee150 to take it on a roadtrid xD
30+min. of someone reading a brochure? No thanks, I'll stick to Jay's videos or even Jason from Engineering Explained, or really anyone but Saabkyle.
+OzcarMtl Ok why say your opinion?
Jay is continually amazed that a Mustang has a 4-cam, 32-valve V8.
They've only been there in hot Mustangs since the 1996 Cobra.
+OnTheRocks LOL that's what I was thinking.
+OnTheRocks And yet he's not amazed that it has a flat plane crank.

Great sounding Shelby, a nice tribute to the man that made mustang the performance car it is today.
How can anyone dislike this video ?? 24:05
Omg auto vlog!
How life changes man!
Really?
Does it get more old school than Chevy vs Ford?
Dislikes are fringe, that believe that its Fix Or Repair Daily for life. Regardless of how good this car is!
BTW I'm Chevy fan. Didn't click dislikes. : )
Hameedi is a moron.
Chevy nut riders
Jay thank you for talking about the front splitter. I bought a Shelby gt350R from Virginia and didn’t realize mines was missing. The dealer bought it for me. You saved me $1500
I absolutely love driving my GT350. I have it tuned on E85 and deleted cats and resonator, corsa long tube headers. That exhaust sounds amazing! It's hard to keep your foot off the gas. It's in the shop now getting cams installed and head ported and polished.
Spirited driving on e85 ya get like 100 miles a tank?
I could watch his video 1000 times and still never tire of it! It’s such a fantastic car. Mr. Leno does such a great job of describing how it feels to drive a very special car.
I believe these cars are going to be very valuable someday since they are the last manual transmission road course Shelby!
This is a very faithful build of what Carol Shelby had in mind!
Here I am over four years into the ownership of my GT 350. Every time I get in it it’s like the first time! It’s that good!
I’ve never seen so many good reviews about a performance vehicle like the Mustang GT350R. Everyone that drives one in a review all say I want one and gotta have it
Just bought my 2016 GT350 Tech Package last weekend. I cannot get over how amazing this car is. Love. Love. Love
Jay Leno's TH-cam channel is handsdown one of my favorite channels, these reviews are awesome!
It's the best car I've ever bought. I love the sound of the engine. I made my friends jealous...
What an unbelievable noise coming from the exhaust and engine. One of the greatest engines to have ever been created.
Bravo Ford!
The driving experience is truly unbelievable. I love my gt350.
the sound of that engine has been the best part of my day
U
Jay, because of you, I just bought a 2019 Shelby GT350R with 2000 miles on it.
I gotta say I love seeing this side of Jay. Even if you hadn't seen his massive car collection, you could tell he's a car man to his core. Great channel. And this car is a monster. I just bought my first new car and it is a little 2016 V6 Mustang. I'd love to own something like this one day.
"Not a straight line car"
Still runs under 12s.
that made me laugh as well
“the worst thing about prison, we’re the dementors.”
They built it to handle and yes it’s rocket fast straight line. Never stops pulling
thank you for NOT having annoying music in your videos like so many other youtubers have!
Even GT350 has Magnetic suspension. BMW. ARE YOU LISTENING???
+Ruohong Zhao BMW doesn't care about making drivers' cars anymore...
+kirbyswarp As much as I hate to agree, you're right. I'm 1,000%, all the way a Mercedes fanboy, but the S class shouldn't EVER come in a 2 door, let alone a convertible. BMW as well, they've gone "Hollywood". Porsche and Audi are climbing to the top fast, especially with still having a manual option for a majority of their vehicles, but still losing their touch.
Faris Turkistani I prefer Audi out of the three germans. Actually, I now prefer Cadillac surprisingly. Volvo is still Volvo and I like them a lot.
+kirbyswarp Yup. When I speed up my M4 to 160mph, all I hear is noise of wind. But not the engine. And Air drug of this car is even bigger than E92.
+kirbyswarp I choose Mercedes over everything, second runner up is the Lincoln Town Car, but that may be just because I've had one for a while now. 2008, and everything works, no problems, smooth ride, and I get the same respect as the BMW, Audi and Mercedes that pull up next to me. Have a lot of plans for her this year and plan on making a few videos soon . And Volvo is a great car, no arguments there.
Really a great video. Ford has built something special that should make all of us Americans very proud. Many thanks to Ford and in particular Jamal for a job well done. It is also very refreshing to see young American Arab professionals such as Jamal Hameedi lead our country into greatness and make us proud.
Mark Qandil well said 🙌🏽
Ok, are you saying the Americans are not capable of designing cars. Are there no Americans qualified? Are we not good enough?
The point is , its not common an arab American engineer in USA Dumbo
Mark Qandil-
I agree 100%!
Amen brother
Even 8 years on, I still enjoy reviewing this video. This GT 350R is a great mix of power and handling, AND the SOUND is like a SYMPHONY!
Thank You Jamal! Love my 2018 GT350. Thanks Jay for the top notch videos
Thank you Jamal and Ford!
Jay, either you are like me or I am like you bro... I'm a manual shift man, I love gauges I like seeing what's going on, I love Brembo brakes and I'm a sho nuff car enthusiast. I told you earlier I have a 1998 Ford GT 4.6L 281/225-hp, slight modifications with 128,875 mi and no worries. Love your show brother and love your guests! Us old guys gotta' stay in the game. Me, 1952! Peace!
Ford has such consistent quality, consistently uneven panel gaps and all.
Lol never buying a garbage unreliable ford again
FordCapri Driver Hahahaha are the ford fanboys triggered easily or what
+beholderlt Explain. It's easy to say random bullshit but, where in the video do you see this?
+thisguywhocamps1 dude I just laughed so hard. That was a good one! Never heard that before! About time someone says something new about ford. found on road dead hahahaha I'm going to start using that one.
+beholderlt FORD= Fix Or Repair Daily.
I'm 18 years old and I got to ride in a 2016 gt350R
It was awesome 👌
This video and the behind the scenes piece on the 2005 Ford GT are two of the best productions from this channel. Two designers walking viewers and Jay through the behind the scenes of incredible product development. Ford is winning and so are viewers.
well I guess imma be sleepy at school tomarow ...
so true
me too
+iliovecaRS Saaaaame
+iliovecaRS same for me at work, but it's worth it lol!
+iliovecaRS This is literally me right now... 2am thinking this, scroll to the comments, oh hey hahaha
Back in the '50s and early '60s my father built and used the old flathead Ford V8 in cars,pickups and boats as well.They were cheap and speed parts quite available.Long story short he built a couple with flat plane crankshafts.The biggest thing I remember is how those engines sounded nothing like the normal V8,almost like a giant four cylinder with a strange cadence...it's hard to describe.The point I wanted to make is flat plane crankshafts are in no way a new or modern idea but seeing one in use,especially from a factory machine,is uncommon indeed!
"This engine will not be shared with any other Ford platform" is the biggest crime in history. This engine would have been PERFECT for a new more muscular Taurus, (Charger rival). And a LIGHTNING F150
what a great guest. good job Jamal!
Best sounding V8 ever made. The voodoo is awesome.
Seeing the 350 r as it is now, what kind of monster is the gt500 going to be!
Thats going to be competing against the Challenger Demon.
@@patrickkelly8095 It still can't hold a candle to the Demon in a drag, but Cobrajet with the aluminator motor will beat the Demon
@@saby8765 we'll have to see about that, I have no clue what it'll do tbh
Yggdrasill4 well now you know
@@saby8765 just wait for the gt500 supersnake
This and the C63, in my opinion best sounding stock exhausts
That black series 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Jay, you review cars like no one does - what a public service! Serious - THANK YOU for sharing your cars (garage, knowledge and pull with manufactures) with us "normal folk!" You're a blessing to car freaks everywhere!!!
I am going to put this on my Wish List!...FORD...First On Race Day!...God Bless America!
This engine would be great in the new Ford GT. Do it.
+Bruningable You're right. I was quite shocked actually to find out the GT will use a V6.
+cominacatcha v6 tt
+Herickson SS You are wrong dude. Amanoncrack is right. They did it for a reason and they talk all about it in dozens of videos. It's a 650 HP+ high revving V6 with almost no lag and instant response. It cuts weight but more importantly it allowed Ford to shape the body the way they did because it's a smaller engine profile. Read about it. The car weighs nothing. It's going to be awesome.
When the supercharger was put on the second gen GT everyone lost their minds saying it should be naturally aspirated, but the car was great and has grown on everyone. Now the same people are whining about it being a V6 but they will eventually see the light as well.
+Adam Reichl man, come on, I understand. but needs a v8.
+Adam Reichl I respect their decision to race it with the ecoboost, but for the customer I think it should be an option. Its not like a regular customer is going to take it to the limit like a professional driver anyway.
This is one of my favorite videos they have made so far. I ended up buying one. Love that car
I really enjoyed this review. Professional, friendly and very, very pleasant to watch.
Thank you 👍🏻
Jay Leno is so awesome I love you Jay!!!! You need to buy an Ecoboost Mustang though! They are amazing cars!!
"Difficult Business Equation" 17:54 I wish I could come up with words and phrases like that. That's awesome and persuasive salesmen language.
The last manual Shelby this car is gonna be worth money in the future
I have a 2019 standard model GT350 with every option. It is an AMAZING car. Wouldn't trade her for anything!
Me, too. I’ve had mine for 3 1/2 years now. Not selling it! Cheers from K0306
@@potranco999nice! February 8 this year was 4 years to the day of owning mine. Was lucky enough to be her first and only owner. Truly doesn't get old.
JAMAAL MAN THANK YOU FOR DESIGNING THIS BABY!!!!!!!!! CUBIC INCH IS 317 C.I.!!!!!!!! 8,250 REDLINE, WOW!!!!!!!
Someone's finger in the top left corner at 11:10
Jared Blumenthal lmao good find
If you were on American Top Gear, I would actually turn it on! So fun to watch your videos:)
Never seen someone do a review on this car and doesn’t put a smile on
Love the GT350 and 350R, someday! Took me 39 years for my first Carrera, so hope I live long enough LOL!!
I realize its common now but the idea of a coil per plug to give it time for a bigger spark is awesome compared to my old dual point mallory on the 302,
I've read several articles about these,and am so glad you gave us an Actual full tour,and ride.Thank you.Miles of smiles.
"I rarely play the radio." hilarious
If a 458 and a hellcat had a baby this is how it would sound
Of an f 812 and a hellcat durango had a baby
Best line ever. "I love this engine so much, i bought one." All hail Jay!
Lol there you go, American car haters. Ford's larger displacement flat plane engine is lighter than a $300,000 Ferrari's engine.
And no, Ecoboost V6 is not better than this engine would've been with a couple turbos... Look at the pitiful Ford GT performance at Daytona.
Look at the LS/LT engines - massive displacement, torque that matches or exceeds the power, and they're getting 30+ mpg cruising..
Ford needs to stop trying to be European and respect some American ingenuity.
Yea and the 458 Italian makes 50 more Hp.
+Adeum Deus Their performance issues were due to teething problems with the electrics, not the pace. Problems like thes are not uncommon for new cars. I believe the GT had the fastest lap of the race as well if I remember correctly. In its first race. The Ecoboost V6 is an excellent engine. The corvettes have had years of development whereas this GT is a totally new car from the ground up. Oh and by the way, Ford has achieved Ferrari-approaching engine stats by "being European."
+Adeum Deus And here we are a few months later with Ford winning at Le Mans...
so you dont care about the output, reliability, balance, sound, efficiency of the engine but the weight? and also its 2009 model engine that you are comparing to 2015 model, which is still miles better. just check ferrari's latest engines and tecs and you can see the difference between 2 brands. ford is definetely closing in but ferrari is probably 6-7 years ahead of them
For all those people wondering why this didn't go into the new GT, well they plan to race the car at Le Mans. For those who don't know, its 24 hour continuous race. Every drop of fuel is monitored. Every single lap, every single second counts. You can watch Truth in 24 II and get a idea of the immense engineering involved. Everything that happens there, often filters down into consumer technology. As much as I love a good ole' v12, everybody is downsizing and using hybrid power trains because efficiency is the battle. So the v6 is a good choice for the new GT.
All true, but, those purists addicted to hearin' a V-8 thunder to life in the morning were given reason to be thankful they couldn't afford the GT... Ah yes, Shelby Mustang GT350, the poor man's GT... Le Mans can have the GT!
I'm a Mopar guy through & through but the GT350 is one heck of a car. Sleek lines, state of the art engine & exhaust note is nothing short of badass
16:16, gotta love Jay he's an engineer's dream. only HE goes and buys a 2nd Voodoo to place on a stand to admire OUTSIDE of the car. LOL
Hold on I am watching this video and Jamal said that they went with the 3.5L eco boost V6 in the GT because if fuel economy and efficiency. The EPA rates the Ford GT at 19 mpg highway that's pretty piss poor considering the Viper with it's 8.4L V10 is rated at 21 by the EPA.
They wanted to stick with the tradition of using a truck engine in it.
i love how j leno keeps pointing out his fav things he wants to discuss, but also a reminder to the engineer
Awesome ride, what's not to like. Leaps and bounds better than my 14 GT/CS
Jay Lenos car collection is mind blowing!!!
el mejor motor sin duda, y lo mejor, aspiración natural... quiero 2 GT 350!!! uno para el diario y otro para colección..
26:32 yeah the splitter doesn’t cost a house but the spoiler cost 10 grand..
as a mopar fanatic i am beyond jealous of the ford followers. the engineering behind most of fords engine line up are so impressive, from an engineering stand point. we picked up a 2012 focus, and the 2.0 dohc vvt gdi engine is so impressive! 40mpg with 180hp.... with a simple suspension kit, stiffer chassis, the focus feels like a little lotus! AMERICA has potential, we just need our freedom back.
The carbon fibre wheels are made in australia.
Jason Moyle it just wanna BIGGER wheels ,and tires as well !!! i think 21" is PERFECT !!!
Close your eyes and picture Jay is talking to a grown up Napoleon Dynamite who got his life together and is the top engineer of Ford.
My favorite Mustang is a Liger. Its a cross between a lion and a tiger. (You have to know Napoleon Dynamite).
Timeless design on top beautiful engineering
jay...you need to let me come see your cars one weekend..PLEASE!!!
The Ford performance guy sounds like Napoleon Dynamite.
When you drive a Ford like this one , you become part of the machine ! And that growl is second to none.
Jay: is this carbon fiber?
Jamal: nah, plastic
Jay: is this Inconel?
Jamal: nah, stainless steel
Which he likes
+Jonathan Erickson HAHAHHA this reply has me rolling dude 😂😂
+Da Brosiffs what lol
Jonathan Erickson i was reallly high when I read your reply so that probably has something to do with it
+Da Brosiffs do you think Jay gets high?
This and Corvettes sound far better to me than any Ferrari ever has.
Exactly.
What's awesome is that since it doesn't rev as high it doesn't have that high pitch scream. But a buff scruff rumble
+Justa318i At a price tag of $65K too!
I mean, yes it sounds terrific, but an old school V12 Ferrari is like heaven. Personally I am a 250 GTO guy all day. Corvettes sound like every other Chevy though. Sorry. Mustangs have a unique sound and this Mustang is the best sounding of all time.
Adam Reichl Different strokes for different folks.
I was watching 24 hours of daytona the other day and the C7Rs sound completely stole the show from the Ferrari 488.
Great video. I had a '66 Mustang with a 289 when I was 18. It was a great car and I had a lot of fun with it, but the car in this video is light years ahead of it. Jay, your knowledge of a wide range of cars and motorcycles is amazing. Thank you for sharing that knowledge an entusiasm with us on your website. Keep on driving an d riding these classics. I love the fact that you keep them running and share the history of all these classics with us. They don't just sit in a museum.
Thanks again, Jay
People complaining about there being no burnout , you're not supposed to do something like that until the engine is fully bedded in unless you want to ruin your engine
What does that mean ?
+MeatyPotato Cactus I wonder why they're not just run them in at the factory. If I got that Mustang my mind would instantly turn into a kid and do burnouts!
Mercedes run some engines in, its a good service. As for the rest of your comment, please reply in English next time.
+Rottensteam they run the engines but it takes around 1000 miles to fully break in. thats why when i got my c63amg 507 it couldnt rev over 4500 for the first 1000 miles
+FordCapri Driver you dont have to do that anymore. thats old school thinking. now the engines making the most power are the ones that have been driven hard since the beginning.
Jerry Seinfelf is really a vampire. He looks way young in this video.
I'm with Jay, I love gauges. I love seeing what is going on. I added a boost, oil temp, and oil pressure gauge to my car. It's just sooooo much easier to glance at a needle than watch a screen.
