      @bretthansen8166 I don't remember this video saying anything about camaros. But I'll play along. Gt350 is better on road or track than the zl1 1le. It's the stiffest car ever made. One rip to the mall and back and I needed back surgery. But by all means the camaro is much better...

    I’ve owned my ‘19 GT350 for three years now and I still get excited when I get in it and listen to the cold start. It’s so fun to drive. I changed the shift knob, steering wheel (carbon fiber/leather) with a flat bottom and resonator delete. The Dark Horse looked interesting, but it’s a solid no for me, especially since I have extended warranty until 2029. The voodoo engine is just so special.

    I bought a 2016 GT350 when it was only 1 yr. old. I'm now 76 yrs. old and she still makes me grin when I punch that start button. It's really hard to stay out of ticket territory in a car like this. I wouldn't trade it for a dark horse under any circumstances. I'm still looking for some tires that won't break the bank and will last more than 20,000 miles.

    I went with the Dark Horse mainly because I believe it to be the better and more modern daily vehicle as my sole car (minus the fiancé's grocery getter). The 350 is absolutely special, but the level of comfort in my DH, even with the HP, is the selling point.
    I'm in Tampa, so if you ever want to do content with both cars, let me know!

      If youre buying a weekend car, 350 is the way to go 100%. If its your only car, 5.0 GT, Mach1, or DH is the way to go. Voodoo engine is just not reliable enough and much more expensive to operate that its just not worth it if youre sitting in traffic 75% of the time.

    Shelby gt 350 is my pick. The new C8 Vette with flat-plane crankshaft engine doesn't sound like American V8. Ford did great job maintaining the American V8 sound with the flat-plane crankshaft engine. And I like the Shelby that has more buttons than the Dark Horse. The metal shift knob is going to be really hot during the strong sunshine days.

      Vettes are tricky to own because it has specific lifting procedures and tires and rims are easy to get destroyed. Regardless of how good a car is if it is not a manual transmission, I am not interested.

  • @gordydexter2615
    @gordydexter2615 29 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Joe excellent comparison between the two cars. It is difficult to explain the performance difference in the new Dark Horse without handling package verses with the handling package. I go to track every weekend from 2 April through the third week in May. Throughout the summer I will have gone to 18-21 tracks on the East Coast. My Porsche Club goes as a group. Surprisingly many members also own Corvettes and Mustangs besides their P-Cars. As a result of that I have spent time on all those tracks in the Dark Horse. My neighbor owns a Dark Horse and has lowered his weight down from 3970 lbs. to 3650 pounds. I was surprised to find out that the Coyote DH engine is 11 pounds lighter than the GT-350R. We figured that the carbon rims save 41 pounds total and the back seat delete saves 26 pounds. I have seen 2 Dark Horse cars with the carbon rims. The owners claim a weight savings of 42 pounds. Not sure I believe that the savings is worth $8500 dollars. They do look good even with brake dust all over them. The handling packaged Dark Horse beats the GT-350R at every track (at all 21 tracks) that we go to. We in my group were all surprised to see this. Three reasons for this: 1st the Trofeo RS tires are better than the Cup II R tires. (Longer lasting & more grip)! 2nd, the brakes are better on the DH. Ford redesigned the digital response system for the new 2024 S650 cars. 3rd, the aero at higher speeds had more down force through high speed long turns! By the way the Dark Horse beats the Corvette C8 Z51 at all these tracks. I sold my C8 and have a Dark Horse on order w/Handling Pkg & Recaros. The seats save 36 pounds over the stock seats. Lastly the 10R80 auto is faster on the track than the Tremec 6-spd manual. If I could get a GT-350R Heritage edition I would prefer it for the looks and Voodoo engine, but your car is a life keeper. I should have NEVER sold my Porsche 964 RS America. I sold it after 7 years of tracking it for 2000 dollars more than I paid for it in 1993 ($61K). Now it is worth $250K. I would like to get the C8 ZR 1 but that’s gonna be difficult. I do prefer my 911 Turbo S (991.2) over all of them. It is 850 all-wheel horse power; and the perfect daily driver!!! :) 😮

Every once in a while a manufacturer puts out an absolutely drool worthy car and theGT350R is right up there with the C8 Z06 for me. I would love to open my garage and see either one. Gotta admit that Mustang does have a bit more of that anwesome traditional American muscle look tho.

      I'm a hugh fan of the GT350 Mustangs. I thought the Voodoo would continue in future performances Mustangs, but have you ever wondered why the Voodoo hasn't been used in other performance Mustangs or a GTD series Stangs or was ever offered as a crate engine. Could it be reliability? I believe Ford is offering to replace engines in the 2018 models that have engine issues. I'm not sure if other years are are included. The GT350 series are fantastic Mustangs but the Dark Horse with the new Gen 4 Coyote is also a fantastic and more refined Mustang tuned for a limit of 7500 RPMs likely due to government regulations. If you want a Dark Horse racecar. Order a Dark Horse R without a back seat. You'll be able to compete in the IMSA Dark Horse racing series but unfortunately not drive it on the streets. When tunes become available for the S650 Coyote. The new Coyote will likely be an 8000 + RPM engine without a speed limiter. The Coyote is known for handles boost without issues like the special built Coyote based engines that run in the Coyote class in the NHRA. You'll find turbo Coyote's making 6 second high revving wheel standing passes. No matter your choice. If your a fan of the Mustang. They're both fantastic Mustangs that offer V8 performance. Thanks Ford for keeping the V8 Mustang alive while continuing to improve and add new models to the Mustang. I'm anxiously waiting for the GTD to hit the track for it's performance numbers. Your a winner owning either Stang.
      I keep hearing about the lack of manual temp controls. Another Mustang U-tuber mentioned he uses voice command to manage this system without using his fingers.

The overall quality of my 2024 is miles better. I’ve only owned ecoboost in both. Both fully loaded premiums but I never walk out to my car without a smile on my face.

    The thing about technology is that in 5 or 6 years, that dash in the Dark Horse will be outdated, old, and slow, that's just the nature of how fast technology moves, just look at your phone, it was fast and wonderful when it was brand new, after 3 or 4 years, the operating system is slowing down, it's buggy, and slow, while the analog in the Shelby GT350R will be timeless, it doesn't need over the air updates, new operating system, etc... When Bugatti introduced the Chiron, as journalist asked the President of Bugatti, why they are still using an analog dash while everyone is going digital. He replied "well, take any bmw or mercedes you bought 10 years ago, the digital screen, the navigation, all the touchscreen, it was wonderful, fast, and responsive, but the problem with technology is that it's moving at lightning speed. Today, that 10 year old technology is outdated, so when we sat down with our engineers, we want our interior to be timeless, 10 years from now, 20, 30, 50, it's still timeless".

    Thanks Joe! I always love your reviews of the Mustang vehicles. I have a 2018 GT350 and have enjoyed it thoroughly. Your reviews of the Acura TLX Type S also helped me decide on that vehicle for my daily vehicle. I'm partial to the GT350 and enjoy the analog gauges all day long over the digital. Stay On Throttle buddy!!!

    I cant believe I watch this whole video, I already have a 2019 gt350 (it has the heated and cooled seat for the non R version) and not interested in the S650 mustang. the sound of the 5.2 is no just so crisp, no 5.0 can match IMO, I had the 5.0 before and it sounds nice, but the difference is subtle to me, but the flat plane crank is just something else. Glad to see what Ford can do with the cayote tho. BTW my 4 y/o daughter sits in the rear so I am glad they didn't delete it going forward haha

    He talks like there was a major difference between the R and the regular GT350, but in 2020 the only difference was CF rims, different spoiler, different x-pipe setup, different shock tuning, and a slight stiffer rear sway bar. In most driving situations you can’t tell the difference between them.

    I felt the same about the aluminum dead pedal in my car, I bought and recommend you get a stick on one, it's made of aluminum and sticks right onto the dead pedal, makes it match the other pedals. mines been on it for years and still looks as good as the other pedals. Made by American Car Craft, stainless material brushed. Trust me on this, easy mod.

    The GT350R Heritage all day long, especially if bought new (I know no longer possible). Personally I prefer to buy new, especially with a performance car. You don't know how a pervious owner took care of their car, what they did , what they didn't do, what they're hiding etc.. Both great cars the GT350R and the Dark Horse, but the GT350R is obviously more of a raw/analog sports car, will be more collectible vehicle over the long-haul. I like the more Camaro-like exterior styling and chassis improvements of the new S650 over the S550. However the digital dash wraparound flat screen cockpit, not for me. Too electric vehicle like for me. Always appreciate the honest reviews/comparisons.

  • @BULZAYE
    @BULZAYE 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Not an apples to apples comparison. Really should have been the Dark Horse with handling pack to be fair. That said I’d take the Dark Horse. The Coyote is waaay more robust than the Voodoo and there is so much more you can do with it in the aftermarket than you can do (should do) with the GT-350 R. Plus it’s far more compliant as a daily driver. AND anyone that thinks it looks like a Camaro need to check themselves. The Dark Horse is ALL Mustang and it looks like one. In fact it gets its modern interpretation of its rear quarter panel design from the ‘69 Fastback. So let’s set the record straight, the Camaro looks like a Mustang!

    Love your reviews so much that your videos a few years back is what pushed me over the edge to buy a GT350. Picked up my 2020 GT350 Heritage Edition (chassis L0393) from Napa Ford in April 2021. It sat at the dealership since they ordered it in 2020. I live in Southern California and drove up north (with my trade-in) to pick it up. It was the BEST drive back to SOCAL along the PCH I ever did. 3 years later, I still love it and wouldn't trade it for anything else.
    100% recommend a GT350 (R or non-R) over the new Mustang. Get 2019 or 2020, as the second gen 5.2L motor replaced the 2015-2018 powerplant. Then replace the stock air filter with a Ford Performance filter, install oil catch cans, and call it a day. If you get a non-R, the exhaust will be tamer as there are two resonators before reaching the mufflers (still sounds good, but not as loud as an R.) That's probably the only invasive modification I will do to mine.
    Keep the videos coming and when you're back in Cali, let us all know!
